What tears our Blessed Mother must shed and how tormented she must be since so many of her children have not listened to her.
What a beautiful thought! Very comforting. I wish all Christians, Catholic or not, would truly appreciate Our Lady. And now that she has her glorified body, she never gets tired. Not that we should live sinfully and make her chase after us, though.
(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. Our body which is only dust lives on the earth, but the food of the soul is the Body and Blood of a God. 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! O man, how happy thou art! Thou are made to adore, to love and to receive God! The bread of souls is in the tabernacle. The tabernacle is the storeroom of Christians. Oh! how wonderful it is my children! when the priest holds up the Host and you see It, your soul can say: 'there is my food.' 0! my children, we are too well off. We shall only understand it in heaven. What a pity!

[117] Venerable Fulton J. Sheen At the very moment when a tree turns against Him and becomes a cross, when iron turns against Him and becomes nails, when roses turn against Him and become thorns, when men turn against Him and become executioners, He lets fall from His lips for the first time in the history of the world a prayer for enemies: ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’ (Luke 23:34). (From The Rainbow of Sorrow ) PAUSE AND PONDER : Do I find it difficult to forgive those who have sinned against me? If Jesus forgave His executioners, how can I hold on to a grudge or desire for revenge? Do I understand that God will forgive me only to the extent that I have forgiven those who have injured me? (Excerpted from Pondering Tidbits of Truth – Volume 6 )
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...
