Quote/s of the Day – 14 March – St Lawrence Justinian on Prayer
“There is no prayer or good work
so great, so pleasing to God,
so useful to us,
as the Holy Mass.”
“No human tongue can enumerate
the favours which emanate from
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
The sinner is reconciled with God,
the just man becomes more upright,
sins are wiped away,
vices are uprooted,
virtue and merit increases
and the devil’s schemes are frustrated.”
“By the practice of prayer
we can construct an impregnable citadel,
in which we shall be securely protected
against all the snares of the enemy.”
“The exterior works of Martha,
without the interior spirit of Mary,
cannot be perfect.
He deceives himself.
who expects, without the aid of prayer,
to succeed in the work of saving souls,
— a work as dangerous as it is sublime!
Without the reflection of prayer,
he shall certainly faint on the way!”
St Lawrence Justinian (1381-1455)
