Quote/s of the Day – 14 December – Within the Octave of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary – The Feast of St Venantius Fortunatus (c530 – c609) Bishop, Poet, Hymnist, Writer. Another “Golden Words.”
“O Mother blest!
And chosen Shrine
wherein the Architect Divine,
Whose Hand contains the earth and sky
vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie;
Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
blest in the work, the Spirit wrought;
Most blest, to bring to human birth,
the long desired of all the earth!”
“See the destined day arise!
See a willing Sacrifice!
Jesus, to redeem our loss,
hangs upon the shameful Cross;
Jesus, Who but Thee could bear
wrath so great and justice fair?
Every pang and bitter throe,
finishing Thine life of woe?”
“Hail, O Altar, Hail, O Victim,
For the glory of Thy Passion,
By which Life endured death
And by death, restored life!”

St Venantius Fortunatus (c530 – c609)
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. .

I never cease to be amazed by the early church fathers. Men and women so strong in their faith. We could sure use some today!! U,S,A, has an important election in 2024 and , if it were held today, I would have no one to vote for. The “lesser of two evils” can no longer apply. A blank ballot doesn’t work in our system.

Oh our Fathers – what abundant riches they present to us each day!
You are so spot-on in your summing up of our world – we think we are so “advanced” but we are nothing compared to them! Especially the Clergy!
As far as your election is concerned – Hughie darling it is already decided and means ZERO, Just give it a miss – your little cross has no value at all. Or mine in South Africa or anyone’s in any other country. It is all a CON AND A SCAM Hughie!

Yes, sadly, we are no longer a democracy. I read a book recently about the murder of the UN sec;y Daq ( name to long for me to even try and spell) so that the rich could det richer on Africa’s immense wealth Many other examples, down to the CIA and the treatment of me in Project: MK Ultra. I have filed a claim, but nothing has come of it yet.

Absolutely – we have had a few Presidents in Africa disappear completely – yes its true – when they refused to follow the instructions issued by the one world government in regard to the scam virus.
You know yourself that that Clinton women was involved in many ‘unexplained’ deaths.
Do what you are told or you will die.
I pray that your Claim aginst the powers will be successful – have you followed up yet? 🙏🙌

Absolutely Hughie – I cannot wait! Let us pray constantly – “hurry up Lord we are waiting, watching and ready. Our lamps are filled and we have extra oil!.” He will not let us suffer too much longer – He Himself said that these evil days would be shortened for our sake. 🙏🙌
