Quote/s of the Day – 4 August – The Memorial of St Dominic de Guzman OP(1170-1221)

Greatly do we rejoice and thank God because of your holy life and because He has freed you from the corruption of this world. Daughters, fight the ancient adversary insistently with fasting, for only he will be crowned who has striven according to the rules. Be not sparing of discipline and vigils. Be obedient to your prioress. Avoid talking idly to one another. Let not your time be wasted in conversation.

When asked what he would say if faced with martyrdom

I would tell them to kill me slowly and painfully, a little at a time so that I might have a more glorious crown in heaven.

A man who governs his passions is master of the world. We must either rule them or be ruled by them. It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.

If I do not become a saint, I am doing nothing.

The Holy Rosary is the best artillery against demons and their followers.

None who perseveres in devotion to the Holy Rosary will be condemned.

You are my companion
and must walk with me.
For if we hold together,
no earthly power can withstand us.

The Holy Rosary
By Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903)

Accept, mighty Maid, we beseech thee,
This prayer with its fragrance of flowers;
With one soul we seek thus to reach thee
And hail thee, God’s Mother and ours.

Thy heart is made glad by our praying;
Thy bounty is generous and wise;
Thy hands are enriched for conveying
What God’s tender Mercy supplies.

We kneel at thy Shrines in the Churches;
Oh, gently look down from above,
And welcome the heart that then searches
For worthy expressions of love.

Let others present precious caskets
Of gems, or heap Altars with gold;
Slight prayer-beads shall serve us for baskets
To bring thee the garland they hold.

With violets lowly we fashion
This wreath and with these combined
Red roses–our faith in the Passion
With Chastity’s lilies entwined.

Our minds, as the Mysteries vary,
Are active, our hands play their part
And always thy name, Holy Mary!
Oft-uttered, rejoices the heart.

Be with us, we trust thee to guide us
Through life and when labouring breath
At the last, seeks thine aid, be beside us
To help at the hour of our death.
