Quote/s of the Day – 1 January – The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and the Octave Day of the Nativity of the Lord and the Memorial of St Fulgentius of Ruspe (c 462 – 533)
“My brothers,
Christ made love the stairway
that would enable all Christians
to climb to heaven.
Hold fast to it, therefore,
in all sincerity,
give one another practical proof of it
and by your progress in it,
make your ascent together.”
St Fulgentius of Ruspe (c 462 – 533)
From a sermon on The Feast of Saint Stephen
“Love God,
serve God,
everything is in that.”
St Clare of Assisi (1194-1253)
“During this new year,
I resolve to begin a new life.
I do not know,
what will happen to me, during this year.
But I abandon myself entirely to You, my God.
And my aspirations and all my affections,
will be for You.
I feel so weak, dear Jesus
but with Your help,
I hope and resolve,
to live a different life,
that is, a life closer to You.”
A Passionest St Gemma’s biography seem like a horror story and a photo taken of her is thought provoking. Google her sometime if you don’t already know her ( what am I saying, of course you do)
