Quote/s of the Day – 10 November – St Andrew Avellino CR (1521–1608) Confessor
“Ah ! what is all that I do and suffer,
ompared with what my Jesus did
and suffered for my sake?
O, that I might, for His honour,
be torn with scourges and pierced with nails
and expire on the Cross for Him!”
“One cannot separate
the most Holy Eucharist
from the Passion of Jesus.”
St Andrew Avellino (1521–1608)
“It has been curiously remarked
by St Andrew Avellino
that those who have a special devotion
to the Passion, generally die
quiet and sweet deaths,
as the Virgin Mary, St John the Evangelist
and St Mary Magdalen did.
Certainly, it is remarkable that,
while most of those close to Our Lord
died violent deaths,
the three who assisted at Calvary,
should have died so softly,
as if already their real death had been died there!”
Father Frederick William Faber CO (1814-1863)

Yep Hughie and Amen from me too.
And remembering that the Passion cannot be separated from the Eucharist – love one, love both and die quietly and peacefully 🙏🙏
