The greatest truths
July 10
“Our sensible appetites, inclined to sensuality and to sloth, need to be vivified by contact with the virginal body of Christ, who endured most frightful sufferings for love of us. We, who are always inclined to pride, to lack of consideration, to forgetfulness of the greatest truths, to spiritual folly, need to be illumined by contact with the sovereignty luminous intellect of the Savior, who is ‘the way, the truth, and the life.'”
-Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, The Three Ages of the Interior Life
Fountain of sweetness
July 9
“O Heart, fountain of sweetness!
Give me to drink, unworthy as I am,
of the wine of Thy comfort.
In Thy divine charity raise up the ruins of my spirit,
and out of Thy superabundance of charity,
atone for all the beggary and neediness of my soul.”
-Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great (adapted)
The Eucharist is Christ
July 8
“…Fourteen years later, God opened my heart to consider the claims of the Catholic Church. The Church taught that Jesus meant what He said to the Jews in John, Chapter 6: ‘Unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’ (John 6:53-55).
I finally realized that if the Eucharist is Christ, there is no where else on earth to be but the Church our Savior established and for which He gave His life, and through which He gives us His very self — Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity — as our Food.”
-Rosalind Moss, Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God, O.S.B.

July 7

-St. Justin Martyr
Dowsing with a Rosary
TA asks: “Can you help me understand about dowsing to get a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer from the Cross or the Rosary? I’ve learned how to do it in the past but don’t feel right to use it any more.”

July 5

-Pope Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei
NYC Mayor Requires Mindful Breathing in Public Schools
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is requiring all public schools to offer two to five minutes of mindful breathing exercises to students every day. Because the popular practice of mindfulness is based in Buddhism, many parents are accusing the city of introducing religion into the classroom.
