Thought for the Day – 6 August – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
Sacred Images
“Apart from avoiding the two extremes of behaviour which have been mentioned, we should cultivate a proper respect for the images of Saints, men and women, who have benefited mankind.
If we can cherish so dearly the portraits of our parents, how much more should we revere the images of Christ, Our Lady and the Saints.
We should kneel before them and imagine that the loved ones are present whom they represent.
As we are praying, we should remember the virtues of those to whom we pray and resolve to follow in their footsteps.”

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. .
