Quote/s of the Day – 23 May – Within the Octave of the Ascension
“Through the Holy Spirit
comes our restoration to paradise,
our ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven,
our return to the adoption of sons,
our liberty to call God, Our Father,
our being made partakers of the grace of Christ,
our being called children of Light,
our sharing in eternal glory
and, in a word, our being brought
into a state of all “fulness of blessing,”
both in this world and in the world to come,
of all the good gifts that are in store for us,
by promise hereof, through faith,
beholding the reflection of their grace,
as though they were already present,
we await the full enjoyment.”
St Basil the Great (329-379)
Father and Doctor of the Church
“And He departed from our sight
that we might return to our hearts
and find Him there.
For He left us
and behold,
He is here!”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father and Doctor of Grace
“May your heart be an Altar,
from which the bright flame
of unending thanksgiving
ascends to Heaven.”
St Mary Euphrasia Pelletier RGS (1796-1868)
