Quote/s of the Day – 16 March – The Second Sunday of Lent
“This is My beloved Son;
in Whom I Am well pleased,
listen to Him.”
Matthew 17:5
“Let us listen to the holy Voice of God
which summons us from on high,
from the holy mountain top.
There, we must hasten – I make bold to say –
like Jesus, Who is our leader
and has gone before us into Heaven.
There, with Him, may the eyes of our mind
shine with His Light and the features of our soul
be made new; may we be transfigured with Him
and moulded to His image,
ever becoming divine,
being transformed in an ever greater degree of glory.”
St Anastasius Sinaita (Died 6th Century)
Priest and Abbot
“At His Transfiguration
Christ showed His disciples,
the splendour of His Beauty,
to which He will shape and colour,
those who are His :
‘He will reform our lowness
configured to the Body of His Glory.”
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Doctor of the Church
“Aspire to God with short
but frequent outpourings of the heart,
admire His bounty,
invoke His aid,
cast yourself in spirit at the foot of His Cross,
adore His goodness,
treat with Him of your salvation,
give Him your whole soul –
a thousand times in the day.”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of Charity
