I am constantly reminded of Blessed Ann Catherine Emmerrich. I believe this is the Age we need her intercession most.
A wonderful reflection, beautifully summed up by St. Dominic at the end. Something we can all strive to achieve, to illuminate the darkness so pervasive in our world today. Thanks again for those wonderful weekend gems.
Amen in Agreement with you Dear Sister Mary! ❤
This was simply beautiful. Thank you for choosing to share this gift. It really demonstrates strength to surrender fully to the Lord. I've watched it twice. This is divine wisdom spoken through Fr. G-L. There is such profound insight that I will need to watch it a few more times. Incredible.
Beautiful- repeat that reflection every month!
Thank you, Anthony, for a wonderful reflection.
So Beautiful. Thank you, Anthony 🌹
Amen in Agreement with you Dear Sister Helen! 🌹
Watching you late but enjoying it Dear Brother Anthony! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
[Ecclesiasticus 2]
{2:1} Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.
{2:2} Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds.
{2:3} Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end.
{2:4} Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience.
{2:5} For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “Again and again, the very notion of saints has been caricatured and distorted, as if to be holy meant to be remote from the world, naive and joyless. Often it is thought that a saint has to be someone with great ascetic and moral achievements, who might well be revered, but could never be imitated in our own lives. How false and discouraging this opinion is!
Christ is not so much interested in how often in your lives you stumble and fall, as in how often you pick yourselves up again. He does not demand glittering achievements, but he wants his light to shine in you. He does not call you because you are good and perfect, but because he is good, and he wants to make you his friends. Yes, you are the light of the world because Jesus is your light. You are Christians - not because you do special and extraordinary things, but because Christ is in your life. You are holy because his grace is at work in you.”
🌹 Ave Maria
It reminds me of St. Paul, who recounts the thorn in his flesh and the words of our Lord to him " My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. " 2 Corinthians 12:9

That was in yesterday's Epistle for the Feast of Sts. Peter & Paul.
@@CatholicMailman, thank you. I really needed that today.
Amen, thank you!
Almost depressing, when I hear about the Saints, and compare them to myself...
Keep up hope! So many incredible Saints started out at the various points many of us are currently at and just kept on trying, prioritizing the virtues of their state in life, making multiple, but intentional little denials of the senses (something like sacrifice beads to keep track and encouraged, like the sort St. Therese used can be fantastic for this and can oftentimes, if you keep them in your pocket, just by their very presence remind you of opportunities to deny the self or to resist temptation), and especially praying to Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows and St. Joseph, Terror of demons for their help in moments of temptation and physically removing yourself to a different room - even if it’s a mental temptation can all help! God gives us all a lifetime to reach sanctity for a reason- it truly is a life-long practice! 🙏
The saints are meant to be an encouragement on the way of sanctification. If you are having feelings of depression or despair this is a demonic attack. 🙏➕
Do not despair, take your faith step by little step. Buy Floriani's gregorian Chants of Deliverance and use them every day.
LITERALLY ME TOO!!!
That’s the thought that always goes on in my head. Among the things I did find helpful though is that we should constantly surround ourselves with holy things, because we eventually will become what we surround ourselves by! And of course living out the Lord’s word in our lives!
I read this and go: “Wow, this is Catholicism!”
I read the ramblings of Vatican documents these days and go: “What these guys lack in prose, they make up for in dishonesty.”
For the canonization of Mother Teresa, the Frankie gang chose to have the singer Rita Ora. You should be able to guess the kinds of lewd pictures of herself she has had all over the internet for years.
For New York Fashion Week not long ago, the theme to have celebrities in very skimpy costumes with a Catholic aspect added in. Timmy Dolan even lent his actual mitre to one of them, and bragged about how great the event was because it publicized Catholicism.
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR THE TRUE TLM CATHOLIC CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST !!!
Garrigou-Lagrange is the man!
*Simple:* *_beautiful, calm, and incorruptible…. Simple is the veil of a virgin. Simple is the attitude of a small child... Only two beings, by reason of their purity, are simple. The baby, and the saint. The former is because he does not know evil; the latter, because he has forgotten it by the effort of overcoming it._*
