St. Bruno, pray for us!

St. Bruno - Saints & Angels - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online

Taken from the Magnificat, October issue, pg 89
Food from heaven you gave your people in their hunger, water from a rock you sent them in their thirst. (Neh 9: 15) Without food or water, we perish in time. Without the love of God, we would perish even faster. God is present before we yearn, found before we seek, offering life-giving love before we know our need for it.

God bless!!

Lectio Divina: Studying the Bible, Falling in Love with Jesus the Living Word - Living Faith - Home & Family - Catholic Online

Excerpt:
The Bible is at the heart of the Churches worship, faith and life. It is the "Book of the Church." Christianity is not about "me and Jesus" but me in Jesus. Through Baptism we come to live in His Body, the Church. When God chose to reveal Himself He did not throw a book out of heaven. Rather, the Word made Flesh. Through the Incarnation - which includes the entirety of the life, suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ- a new creation began. We are now incorporated into Christ when we are baptized into His Church and we enter into the lived experience of that new Creation.

St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!

St. Francis of Assisi - Saints & Angels - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online

Excerpt from above:
Soon Francis started to preach. (He was never a priest, though he was later ordained a deacon under his protest.) Francis was not a reformer; he preached about returning to God and obedience to the Church. Francis must have known about the decay in the Church, but he always showed the Church and its people his utmost respect. When someone told him of a priest living openly with a woman and asked him if that meant the Mass was polluted, Francis went to the priest, knelt before him, and kissed his hands -- because those hands had held God.

Fri. Oct. 1, 2010 - Vocation to Love. Memorial of Saint Theresa of The Child Jesus, Virgin - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online

St. Therese, pray for us!!

Vocation to Love. Memorial of Saint Theresa of The Child Jesus, Virgin - Saints & Angels - Catholic Online

Excerpt from above:
The Little Flower of Jesus sacrificed her life for love of souls. She saw the magnitude of her Beloved's love for them. She offered herself for the building up of the Church, the People of God and the Mystical Body of Christ. That is truly a vocation of love, a love which is bound up in the Supreme Love, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. The Little Flower's life was one of beauty, joy, and wonder, a life which continues to affect members of the Church to this day. Here death did not mark the end of her vocation of love, but sparked a new reality of "beginning" in which she continues to touch souls the world over, inflaming within them her ardent desire to love to the end.
