This Is One Forgotten Truth We Must Rediscover!

Image
  No surprise - our world is in utter chaos and confusion.  Conduct that has always been deemed morally wrong is now proclaimed right and woe to those who have the audacity to disagree.  (Image Source:  Wikimedia Commons ) More tears and public angst fill our airwaves and cyberspace over an American dentist who killed a lion in a wild life preserve, whales that beach themselves on our shores, or the callous destruction of baby swan eggs than the brutal dismemberment and murder of human life encased within a mother's womb or the subsequent sale of their body parts.  We refuse to recognize the child in  utero  as a person whose life is protected under both God's law and our Constitution, yet think nothing of trying to convince a Court to extend constitutional protection and rights to animals or to rule that it is preferable for farms and humans to go without water than to disrupt the habitat of some snail. Let us pray that we will come to our senses, whi...

Eucharistic Reflection - Give Us Our Daily Bread

Image
(Image Source: Hands at Mass ) There are two kinds of food - that of the soul - and that of the body which the earth brings forth.

O beautiful food! it is enough, if one thinks of it to make one lose oneself in this abyss of love. My Father is God! my good is (Imageheaven! my food the Body and Blood of God Himself!

Eucharistic Reflection - Holy Hour for Priests

Image
(Photo ©Father Lawence Lew, O.P., Used with Permission) "My God, poor, weak and miserable as I am, I have come to spend this hour alone with Thee, in reparation for the priests who have forgotten that they are Thou chosen souls. Especially, dear God, do I offer this holy hour for the priests who at this moment need it most.  In praying for consecrated souls, help me to remember my own utter weakness, misery and nothingness. Were it not for Thy grace, I would be far worse than those for whom I pray.  O My God, help those priests who are faithful to remain faithful; to those who are falling, stretch forth Your Divine Hand that they may grasp it as their support. And for those poor unfortunate souls who have fallen, lift them up in the great ocean of Your Mercy, that being engulfed therein, they may receive the grace to return to Thy Great Loving Heart. Amen." (From The Cure of Ars Prayer Group )
