Thought for the Day – 14 July

It never ceases to amaze me how many saints we have, (all waiting to hear from us, by the way), who initially led lives totally against the precepts of natural moral order, Christ and Holy Scripture.   But God is never far off – the ‘Hound of Heaven’ goes before and behind us.   And God creates saints.   Seemingly random meetings, words, in the case of St Camillus – a sermon by a Capachin and a meeting with St Philip Neri, alters everything, for we know that nothing is random – God has penetrated our selfishness,   He becomes visible to our souls and once that happens we can only do our very best, try our hardest to do all for Him and as if everything depended on us.   All human effort is the dispensing of God’s divine power and only God’s grace can make us like Himself.

St Camillus de Lellis 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. . PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 100% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏
