Quote/s of the Day – 7 July – St Lawrence of Brindisi

Quote/s of the Day – 7 July – St Lawrence of Brindisi OFM Cap (1559-1619) Confessor, Priest, The “Franciscan Renaissance Man.”

The Holy Spirit sweetens
the yoke of the divine law
and lightens its weight,
so that we may observe God’s commandments
with the greatest of ease
and even with pleasure.

The Word of the Lord
is a Light for the mind
and a Fire for the will,
so that man may know and love God.
For the inner man,
who lives through the living grace of God’s Spirit,
it is bread and water
but bread sweeter than honey
and water better than wine or milk….
It is a weapon against a heart
stubbornly entrenched in vice.
It is a sword against the flesh,
the world and the devil,
to destroy every sin.

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 Catholic Church and all her teachings. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 95% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏
