Quote/s of the Day – 21 November – The Memorial of St Pope Gelasius I (Died 496) Bishop of Rome from 1 March 492 until his death on 19 November 496.
“There are two powers, by which chiefly,
this world is ruled – the Sacred authority
of the Priesthood and the authority of Kings.
And of these, the authority of the Priests is,
so much the weightier, as they must render,
before the tribunal of God, an account,
even for the Kings of men.”
“Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord
that we do not trouble ourselves
regarding the contradiction of spurious minds
but once that very wickedness has been spurned,
let us pray that Thou suffer us,
neither to be frightened by the unjust criticisms,
nor to be attracted to the insidious flatteries
but rather, to love that which Thou dost command …”
(In 1751, Pope Benedict XIV published this Prayer
within his Apostolic Constitution “Providas”
which exposed the evils of freemasonry.)
St Pope Gelasius I (Died 496)
