In our conflict we cannot be forced to surrender by hunger, we can die but we cannot be conquered.
This is no time for imperfections in those whose duty it is to teach.
If these teachers are not inwardly fortified by realising the great importance of spurning everything beneath their feet and by being detached from things which come to an end on earth, and attached to things eternal, they will betray this defect in themselves, however much they may try to hide it. For whom are they dealing but with the world?
If the confessor is seen to be tending in any way towards vanity, he should be regarded with grave suspicion, and in such a case, conversation with him, however edifying, should be avoided, and the sister should make her confession briefly and say nothing more.
How dearly people have to pay for their miserable worries and concerns about honour!

Learning is a great help in giving light upon everything.
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. .
