September 29th - Feast of The Arch Angels

St. Michael

St. Gabriel

St. Raphael

In the house of God there is never-ending festival; the angel choir makes eternal holiday; the presence of God's face gives joy that never fails. -St. Augustine

Service to others ...

Each one of you have received a special grace,

so like good stewards responsible for

all these different graces of God,

put yourselves at the service of others.

1 Peter 4:10

Ask and You Shall Receive

... Prayer ...

We do not pray to change divine decree,

but only to obtain what God has decided

will be obtained through prayer.

In other words, as St. Gregory says,

"by asking, men deserve to receive what

the all-powerful God has decreed

from all eternity to give them."

St. Thomas Aquinas

To you.

Triumph of The Cross - September 14th

We worship your cross, O Lord,

and we praise and glorify

your holy resurrection,

for the wood of the cross

has brought joy to the world.

Keep burning continually

the sweet smelling incense of prayer.

Nativity of The Blessed Virgin Mother

Happy Birthday Mother

Where

God writes the gospel

not in the bible alone,

but on the trees

and flowers

and clouds

and stars.

Joy

Joy does not depend on sunny circumstances,

good news, or happy endings.

It comes from knowing that whatever happens,

God loves me; that whatever happens,

He is preparing a better place for those who love Him.

Memorial of St. Gregory the Great
