Our Morning Offering – 15 SOctoberber – “The Month of the Most Holy Rosary and of the Angels” – St Teresa of Jesus of Avila OCD (1515-1582) Virgin, Doctor of the Church
Haec Est Dies
This is the Day
By Pope Urban VIII (1568-1644)
This is the day, when, filled with love,
And shining like a heavn’ly dove,
The spirit of Teresa flies
To temples high above the skies.
And then she hears the Bridegroom’s Voice:
“The wedding of the Lamb, rejoice!
Come, sister, from Mount Carmel’s height.
Come to your crown of glory bright.”
May all the virgins blest adore
O Bridegroom Jesus, evermore,
And sing Thou wedding songs of praise
Throughout the everlasting days.
This Hymn is used for Lauds on the Feast of St. Teresa of Jesus of Avila.
Tune: “Hæc Est Dies” Gregorian Chant.
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. .
