Quote/s of the Day – 2 September – The Memorial of St Solomon Le Clercq FSC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HC9QWCtvB8)

“I’m Solomon Le Clercq
and I want,
I want to sign,
to say that I’ll die,
I’ll die a happy man
if Jesus is at my side
and I say:
I want to live for Jesus,
I want!
I want to die for Jesus,
I want!
To live and to die
a real man of God!
To live and die a real
Brother from God!”

“As for us, we hold, to what we believed,
ten and twenty years ago;
to what our forefathers believed,
one hundred years ago
and one thousand years ago
and to that which,
the whole Catholic world,
has always believed.”

“Do not be troubled.
Ask constantly for the help of God ….
Why should we weep
since the Gospel tells us to rejoice
when we have something to endure
for His name’s sake?
Let us then suffer joyfully
and with thanksgiving
the crosses and afflictions
which He may send us.
As for myself,
it would seem that I am not
worthy to suffer for Him,
since I have not as yet
encountered any trials,
whereas so many confessors
of Jesus Christ are in affliction.”

ST SOLOMON LE CLERCQ (1767-1792)
