Quote/s of the Day – 19 January – the Memorial of St Wulfstan (c 1008–1095) Bishop of Worcester

This is true love of Christ and His Church.
O Lord, send us such men in our day, where have they gone!?
Today, those we have, are hiding behind closed doors and locking the Churches from the faithful, withholding the Sacraments or reporting souls for not complying with satanic rules. They are co-operating in evil schemes to subject all peoples to a totalitarian rule, turning the sheep of the Good Shepherd, into goats, who will be cast into the flames!

“Let the man truly possessed by the love of Christ
keep His commandments.
Who can express the binding power of divine love?
Who can find words for the splendour of its beauty?
Beyond all description are the heights to which it lifts us.
Love unites us to God;
it cancels innumerable sins,
has no limits to its endurance,
bears everything patiently.
Love is neither servile nor arrogant.
It does not provoke schisms or form cliques
but always acts, in harmony with others.
By it, all God’s chosen ones, have been sanctified;
without it, it is impossible to please Him.
Out of love, the Lord took us to Himself
because He loved us
and it was God’s will,
our Lord Jesus Christ gave His life’s blood for us—
He gave His body for our body,
His soul for our soul.”

St Clement I of Rome (c 35-99)
Martyr for Christ, Bishop of Rome, Apostolic Father

“We unfortunates,
are destroying the works of Saints,
in order to win praise for ourselves.
In that happy age, men were incapable
of building for display;
their way, was to sacrifice themselves to God,
under any sort of roof
and to encourage their subjects,
to follow their example.
But we strive to pile up stones
while neglecting souls.”

St Wulfstan (c 1008–1095)
Bishop of Worcester

“He who is not ANGRY
when there is just cause for anger is IMMORAL.
Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.
And if you can live amid INJUSTICE WITHOUT ANGER,
you are IMMORAL, as well as, UNJUST.”

St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274)
Doctor Angelicus
Doctor Communis

“Better that only a few Catholics should be left,
staunch and sincere in their religion,
than that they should, remaining many,
desire as it were,
to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies
and in conformity
with the open foes of our faith.”

St Peter Canisius (1521-1397)
Doctor of the Church

“The declared enemies of God and His Church,
heretics and schismatics,
must be criticised as much as possible ….
It is a work of charity to shout:
‘Here is the wolf!’
when it enters the flock or anywhere else.”

St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctor of Charity

“The sole reason why society is perishing
is because, it has refused to hear
the word of the Church,
which is the word of God.
All plans for salvation will be sterile,
if the great word of the Catholic Church,
is not restored
in all it’s fullness!”

“Woe to me if I do not preach
and warn [sinners],
for I would be held
responsible for their condemnation.”

St Anthony Mary Claret (1807-1870)

“A day will come when the civilised world
will deny its God,
when the Church will doubt
as Peter doubted.
She will be tempted to believe
that man has become God.
In our churches,
Christians will search in vain
for the red lamp where God awaits them.
Like Mary Magdalene,
weeping before the empty tomb,
they will ask,
‘Where have they taken Him?’”

Venerable Pope Pius XII (1876-1958)
