Thought for the Day – 4 July – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
The New Life
“All this is difficult and may demand heroism.
“The Kingdom of Heaven has been enduring violent assault and the violent have been seizing it by force” (Mt 11:12).
We have to do violence to ourselves and to our passions but virtue has its reward, not only in Heaven but even in this life.
The reward is the peace of soul which God bestows on us after we have overcome our perverse inclinations.
Holiness brings with it a spiritual youth which will never pass away.
A new life is beginning!”
Antonio Cardinal Bacci

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)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
