Quote/s of the Day – 23 February – The Memorial of St Polycarp (c 69 – c 155) Martyr and Father of the Church

“Stand fast, therefore, in this conduct
and follow the example of the Lord, firm
and unchangeable in faith, lovers of the brotherhood,
loving each other, united in truth,
helping each other with the mildness of the Lord, despising no man.”

“You threaten me with fire
which burns for an hour
and after a little is extinguished
but are ignorant of the fire
of the coming judgement
and of eternal punishment,
reserved for the ungodly.”

“Let us, therefore, forsake the vanity of the crowd
and their false teachings and turn back to the word
delivered to us from the beginning.”

“Hear me declare with boldness, I am a Christian!”

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 Catholic Church and all her teachings. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 95% 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! 🙏
