A Solid Foundation

"...in order to attain the perfection to which you are

called, a solid foundation is required.

One cannot belong to God in an imperfect manner

and be happy here."

~~Saint Mother Theodore Guerin~~

Of Course You Are Unworthy...

Saint Catherine of Siena

(Photo by Fr. Lawrence Lew, O.P.)

"Of course you are unworthy.  But when do you hope to be worthy?. . . All the good works that we could ever do would never make us worthy, in this sense, of Holy Communion.  God  alone is worthy of himself, he alone can make us worthy of him, and he alone can make us worthy with his own worthiness. "

~~Saint Catherine of Siena~~

One With the Father

What Jesus did when he

became man was totally surrender

to his Father.  He belong so much

to the Father that there is no

separation, no division.

God Waits

He loves, he hopes, he waits.  

Our Lord prefers to wait himself 

for the sinner for years rather 

than keep us waiting an instant.

Providence, Our Defense

I have confidence in the future.  

The one who took up our 

defense will protect us again. 

 His arm is not shortened.

Consolation Through Prayer

Photo by Fr. Lawrence Lew, OP

Sometimes when I find myself spiritually in dryness so great that I cannot produce a single good thought I recite very slowly an Our Father or a Hail Mary.  These alone console me.  They nourish my soul.

The Ultimate Goal

In our combats, our labors and our tribulations, 

let us raise our eyes to heaven, 

our true country.

 Let us see there the crown that awaits us.
