who desires to recover health of his soul.

to be considered:
serious compunction of heart,
confession of mouth
and satisfaction by deed.”

“Our Lord, Who saved the world,

will only Work for the good of souls,
through the Cross.”
St Madeleine Sophie Barat (1779-1865)
“If we are to reach God, Who is our goal,
it is necessary for us to know, love and serve Him.
In the hidden depths of our own being, we hear His Voice.
As our Creator, Redeemer and Benefactor,
God has the right to the undivided affection of our hearts.
This love should not be empty and sterile, however,
it should be active and effective.
Knowing and loving God,
we should feel the obligation of serving Him
as our Master, in whatever He commands,
even when this demands a heavy sacrifice on our part!”
Antonio Cardinal Bacci (1881-1971)
