Quote of the Day – 19 April – Within the Octave of the Solemnity of the Patronage of St Joseph

Observe the order which is kept in this holy family. …
O God! how beautiful it was to see the respect
and reverence with which he treated
both the Mother and the Son!
If he had wished to leave the Mother
when he was not quite aware of the greatness
of her dignity, into what admiration
and profound abasement was he not afterwards plunged,
when he saw himself so honoured
that our Lord and our Lady became obedient
to his will and did nothing but by his command?!

St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor Caritatis

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! 🙏
