Thought for the Day – 18 January – The Memorial of Blessed Maria Teresa Fasce OSA (1881-1947)
BLESSED MOTHER FASCE
A woman with a strong personality, Maria Teresa Fasce sends everyone a precise message – trusting in Providence does not mean standing still and waiting but praying and doing.
An affectionate mother for all the helpless, Blessed Maria Teresa understood the importance of evangelisation as an activity to spread the charism of Saint Rita throughout the world.
Despite the difficulties, thanks to her tenacity, she was able to carry out charitable works dedicated to Rita that still exist today – the Basilica, the Beehive of Saint Rita (the project that welcomes young girls and boys in difficulty) and the Magazine From the Bees to the Roses.
Contemplation in action – this was Blessed Maria Teresa, who despite all the set-backs built a beautiful Basilica in honour of St Rita, where both saints now rest. Blessed Maria is an example to us all. Busy lives should not hinder our actions for God.
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. .
