Saint Peter Julian Eymard: Offer to Jesus Christ the homage of your whole being. Present to Him in detail the homage of each one of your soul’s faculties: of your mind, to know Him better; of your heart, to love Him; of your will, to serve Him; of your body…

“Pray and work without rest, in order not to grow cold.”

“Pray and work without rest, in order not to grow cold.”

(from a homily by Pope Francis, on June 29, 2020) We need lives that show the miracle of God’s love. Not forcefulness, but forthrightness. Not palaver, but prayer. Not speeches, but service. Do you want a prophetic Church? Then start serving and be quiet. Not theory, but testimony. We are…

Until the Morning of Eternity Breaks Forth

Until the Morning of Eternity Breaks Forth

(from an essay by Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross) The Savior is not alone on the way of the cross. Not only are there adversaries around Him who oppress Him, but also people who succor Him. The archetype of followers of the cross for all time is the Mother…

Pray without Ceasing

Pray without Ceasing

That is not enough, my son! That is not enough, because love cannot be reduced to the indispensable minimum; love demands the maximum! Do you think that I could practice charity if I did not ask Jesus every day to fill my heart with His love? Do you think that…

The End of All Human Actions and Affections Is the Love of God

The End of All Human Actions and Affections Is the Love of God

(from “Jesus Appeals to the World” by Father Lorenzo Sales, I.M.C.) The most that a creature can give Him is already His, and He can ask for it back, even to life itself. But not so with love; here on earth, the creature is free to refuse it. But God…

“Let us not lose a moment of suffering, for one cannot love without it.”

“Let us not lose a moment of suffering, for one cannot love without it.”

A letter from Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque to Sister Félice-Madeleine de la Barge (on January 5, 1689): I am satisfied, most beloved dear Sister, that we should write to each other, provided that we speak only of love and the cross. For the only thing I can say to you…

The Wounds of the Savior

The Wounds of the Savior

(Jesus, in private revelation given to Maria Valtorta on February 20, 1944) All those who so desire, who ask the Lord God to make them ‘saviors,’ must properly consider that Mary and I are the model and that those are the tortures to be shared in so as to save.…
