Quote/s of the Day – 26 December – “The Month of the Divine Infancy and the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary”
“O Rex Gentium”
“O King of the nations and desired of them
and the Cornerstone which maketh both one,
Come and save man, whom Thou didst form of dust.”
“Christ was desired by all nations, long before they knew Him Whom they desired.
The heathen world felt a craving want which it could not define but which was the desire for the Saviour, Who should free them from the bondage of sin.
So now, men of goodwill, outside the Church, feel something of the same strange longing.
Nothing will satisfy it save submission to their King by union with His Mystical Body, the Church of God.
Oh, how happy am I, whose desires are fulfilled, in that I am no alien but a servant of that King, Whom to serve, is my own desire!”
Fr Richard Frederick Clarke SJ (1839-1900)
