Quote/s of the Day – 9 May – St Gregory Nazianzen

Quote/s of the Day – 9 May – St Gregory Nazianzen (330-390) Bishop, Confessor, Father and Doctor of the Church

I cannot think on the One
without quickly being encircled
by the splendor of the Three;
nor can I contemplate the Three,
without straightaway being
carried back to the One.

These three virtues God requires
of all the Baptised:
right faith in the heart,
truth on the tongue,
temperance in the body.”

What He was,
He laid aside;
what He was not,
He assumed.
He takes upon Himself the poverty of my flesh
so that I may receive the riches of His Divinity
!”

Who gave you the ability to contemplate
the beauty of the skies, the course of the sun,
the round moon, the millions of stars,
the harmony and rhythm which
issue from the world as from a lyre,
the return of the seasons, the alternation of the months, the demarcation of day and night,
the fruits of the earth, the vastness of the air,
the ceaseless motion of the waves,
the sound of the wind?

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! 🙏
