Quote/s of the Day – 5 October – The Memorial of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos CSsR (1819-1867)

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

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.

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.

and imitate that patron in some special virtue. - Precede every great feast with a novena, that is, nine days of devotion.
