Quote/s of the Day – 14 March – St Lawrence Justinian on Prayer

There is no prayer or good work
so great, so pleasing to God,
so useful to us,
as the Holy Mass.

No human tongue can enumerate
the favours which emanate from
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The sinner is reconciled with God,
the just man becomes more upright,
sins are wiped away,
vices are uprooted,
virtue and merit increases
and the devil’s schemes are frustrated.

By the practice of prayer
we can construct an impregnable citadel,
in which we shall be securely protected
against all the snares of the enemy.”

The exterior works of Martha,
without the interior spirit of Mary,
cannot be perfect.
He deceives himself.
who expects, without the aid of prayer,
to succeed in the work of saving souls,
— a work as dangerous as it is sublime!
Without the reflection of prayer,
he shall certainly faint on the way!

St Lawrence Justinian (1381-1455)

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. . PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 100% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏
