Have you ever imagined what the speech of angels sounds like? Fr. Chrysostom suggests that it may sound more like a song… Experience the language of heaven and the impact it makes here on earth.

Happy Feast Day - St. John Bosco

12/05/2013

O God, creation's secret force,
yourself unmoved, all motion's source,
who from morn till evening ray
through all its changes guide the day;

Grant us, when this short life is past,
The glorious evening that shall last;
That by a holy death attained,
Eternal glory may be gained.

—Attributed to Saint Ambrose of Milan

From the YOUCAT Youth Prayer Book

"Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenceless and innocent among us…. Precisely because this involves the internal consistency of our message about the value of the human person, the Church cannot be expected to change her position on this question. I want to be completely honest in this regard. This is not something subject to alleged reforms or 'modernizations'. It is not 'progressive' to try to resolve problems by eliminating a human life."
— Pope Francis, from his apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium.

The Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen

I've always spoken too much. Today for the first time I listened. I listened to Him. —Saint Augustine

Saint Augustine Feast Day is August 28

St. Augustine of Hippo is the patron of brewers because of his conversion from a former life of loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions. His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break.
