26th June - St. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer
A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ.
A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ.
Where noise ends, God begins to speak.
The true secret of love consists in this: we must forget self like St. John the Baptist and exalt and glorify the Lord Jesus - St Peter Julian Eymard
The mercy of God is infinite—be its messenger to the very last breath.
The man without Christ is dust and shadow.
So my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us pray for the grace to truly detach ourselves from the world today so as to firmly attach ourselves to God, answer our call to discipleship, truly accept His word in our lives, then proclaim and live out His gospel fearlessly.
When the afflictions of this life overcome us, let us encourage ourselves to bear them patiently by the hope of heaven.
Better to pray one psalm with devotion and compunction than a hundred with distraction.
No sacrifice can be more acceptable to God than labor with genuine zeal for the saving of souls.
My only desire is to accomplish God's will.
How long are you going to be deaf to His call? Or are you going to lose your soul, which Jesus Christ bought at the price of His Precious Blood?
Suffering is a path to glory when united with Christ.
The devil is afraid of us when we pray and make sacrifices.
So let us go out now to re-evangelize and bring back our brothers and sisters who have left the Catholic faith, by being alert to their physical and spiritual needs, by reaching out to help and support them; and by showing compassion to them in their struggles with their faith.
A person must be prepared in his soul to speak the truth.
