Quote/s of the Day – 1 April – Easter Monday
“This is the day which the Lord hath made,
let us be glad and rejoice therein.”
Psalm 117:24.
“If we follow Christ closely we shall be allowed,
even on this earth,
to stand, as it were,
on the threshold of the heavenly Jerusalem
and enjoy the contemplation,
of that everlasting Feast,
like the blessed Apostles,
who, in following the Saviour as their Leader,
showed and still show,
the way to obtain the same gift from God.
They said – See, we have left all things and followed Thee.
We too follow the Lord
and we keep His Feast
by deeds rather than by words.”
St Athanasius (297-373)
Father & Doctor of the Church
“For Christ is our Salvation.
For He is our Salvation,
Who was wounded for us
and fastened with nails to the Wood
and taken down from the Wood
and laid in the sepulchre.
But He rose from the sepulchre
and although His Wounds were healed,
the Scars remained.
For this He judged expedient for His Disciples
that He should keep His Scars,
to heal the wounds of their soul.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Father and Doctor of Grace
“All I want to know is Christ
and the power flowing
from His Resurrection!”
St Francis of Assisi (c1181-1226)
