Quote/s of the Day – 9 September – St Peter Claver SJ (1581-1654) Confessor, “Slave of the slaves”
“To do the will of God,
man must despise his own;
the more he dies to himself,
the more he will live to God.”
“I must dedicate myself
to the service of God until death,
on the understanding
that I am like a slave.”
“To love God as He ought to be loved,
we must be detached from all temporal love.
We must love nothing but Him,
or if we love anything else,
we must love it, only for His sake.”
“We must speak to them,
with our hands,
by giving,
before we try to speak to them,
with our lips.”
St Peter Claver (1581-1654)
“No life, except the life of Christ,
has moved me so deeply,
as that of Peter Claver.”
St Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903)
on the occasion of St Peter Claver’s Canonisation.
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. .
