St.Gertrude the Great writes of the devotion to the Holy Face, and represented this Face to herself as all disfigured by her sins. She writes that we shall be judged before the Face of Christ, but no longer the suffering Face. "If, then, we have been devout to it during life, surely we may hope that it will look mercifully and lovingly upon us when we stand before the judgment-seat." Jesus told her He accepts even the lifting of a pebble or straw from the ground or to utter a single word, to show kindness to any one in union with His mercy in granting this indulgence.

I only wish I could remember all these things all the time.

Our eyes gravitate in the direction of the tabernacle when all is quiet because someone is there in that location even as he is silent…We sense in an utterly Catholic manner that this blessed location of the tabernacle is the secret hiding place for the sacred presence that it encloses.

Knox "When you have a lot of people singing without any organ accompaniment, there is a constant tendency for the note to drop all the time; it gets lower and lower as it goes on. And therefore, when the choir isn't accustomed to sing­ing without accompaniment, every now and then the choir­master, who has a pitch-pipe concealed on his person, gives a little 'toot' in the background, to remind them of the higher note which they ought to be taking and aren't. And, you see, we are rather like that We go on living from day to day without thinking much about how we are living, or what we are here for, or whether the things that chiefly interest us are really worth living for; and we get accustomed to our sins, and feel vaguely that it is a pity we go on co...
