Quote/s of the Day – 19 August – “The Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” – and the Memorial of St John Eudes (1601-1680) Confessor, “The Apostle of Two Hearts”
“The crosses with which our path
through life is strewn,
associate us with Jesus
in the Mystery of His Crucifixion.”
“No-one who shall invoke
this Mother of Grace,
with devotion and perseverance,
can possibly perish forever.”
“Let infidels and heretics,
let the relatives and the friends
of bad Catholics,
weep without consolation
and weep unceasingly,
for the death of their departed ones!”
Thy royal heart is our pure light, our refuge safe. Why should I fear? Her goodness is firm support of our lives, Nothing can trouble our hearts.
Consider how strange it is! The world offers nothing but crumbs and dregs of feasting, empty fame, wealth and fleeting pleasure, but it sells you these stale crumbs and dregs at the costly price of worry, pain, bitterness, restlessness, anguish, often even at the price of your very life. On the other hand, the Divine Son of God and of Mary offers you the refreshment and rapture of the fountain of the fulness of the House of God, of which you are free to drink forever. O what blind, blind folly it is to choose the goblet of sin instead of the chalice of Our Saviour!
Blessed indeed are the hearts of the true children of Mary, who strive to live in conformity with the most holy Heart of their Mother most admirable!
