Quote/s of the Day – 5 October – The Memorial of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos CSsR (1819-1867)
“It is only through suffering
that we become holy.
And to become holy is our only purpose in life,
our only preparation for heaven.”
TOP 10 Practical Guide to Holiness
- Go to Mass with deepest devotion.
- Spend a half hour to reflect upon your main failing
and make resolutions to avoid it. - Do daily spiritual reading for at least 15 minutes,
if a half hour is not possible. - Say the rosary every day.
- Also daily, if at all possible, visit the Blessed Sacrament
and toward evening, meditate on the Passion of Christ for a half hour. - Conclude the day with evening prayer
and an examination of conscience over all the faults & sins of the day. - Every month make a review of the month in confession.
- Choose a special patron every month
and imitate that patron in some special virtue. - Precede every great feast with a novena, that is, nine days of devotion.
- Try to begin and end every activity with a “Hail Mary.”

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)
