Thought for the Day – 27 April
Her work was part of her religion and she often remarked that a lazy servant was lacking in a religious spirit. She was put in charge of the children of the house and in time was appointed housekeeper. But she did not limit her work to household duties. She visited prisons, the sick and the poor and was the only one in the house who could subdue the violent tempr of the head of the household. She became a familiar figure in Lucca, making her rounds and extending love to as many as she could.
The life of St Zita shows that fidelity to ordinary duties is a sure way to holiness. She was simply a servant girl but she made her work a song of praise to God and her whole life an expression of religious devotion. Her life was full of the ordinary and this is what made her a saint. That kind of holiness is within the reach of all of us!
St Zita, pray for us!
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
