Thought for the Day – 10 August – Meditations with Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
Rash Judgement
“Let us contemplate Jesus as our model.
While He was hanging from the Cross, He looked down compassionately upon His jeering enemies.
Not only did He pray for them and forgive them but, He even made excuses for them to His heavenly Father.
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Lk 23:24).
It is still the same.
Very often, when people commit sin they do so because they have not reflected about what they are doing.
For this reason, we should always be kind in our judgements and prudent about expressing them.
A harsh judgement can cause irreparable damage to our brother’s character, whereas, a kind word, can lead him back from the path of evil!”

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. .
