Quote/s of the Day – 9 March – St Gregory of Nyssa (c335–c395) Bishop, Father of the Church – St Frances of Rome (1384-1440) Widow – St Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
“It is most laudable, in a married woman,
to be devout but, she must never forget
that she is a home-keeper.
And sometimes, she must
leave God at the Altar
to find Him in her household affairs.”
St Frances of Rome (1384-1440)
“What could be more wretched for God,
than to take the form of a slave?
What lowlier for the King of the Universe,
than to share our human nature?
The King of kings, the Lord of lords,
the Judge of the world, pays taxes to Caesar …
Consider the excessiveness of His voluntary poverty!
Life tastes death; the Judge is dragged before the court;
the Master of the lives of us all submits to a magistrate;
the King of the Heavenly Powers
does not escape the hands of torturers!
This is the pattern, says the Apostle Paul,
against which His humility is measured.”
St Gregory of Nyssa (c335–c395)
Bishop, Father of the Church
(Brother of St Basil the Great)

O Mary, I Give You My Heart
By St Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
O Mary, I give you my heart.
Grant me to be always yours.
Jesus and Mary,
be ever my friends
and, for love of you,
grant me to die, a thousand deaths
rather than to have the misfortune
of committing a single mortal sin.
Amen
St Dominic Savio (1842-1857)
