“Without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of grace. The gifts of grace increase as the struggles increase.”

                              -St. Rose of Lima
For Reflection:

What is the relationship between afflictions and the height of grace? Do I make use of such opportunities or do I rail against them?

ABOUT ST. LOUIS DE MONTFORT  pg xi

…he traveled around the western part of the country, from diocese to diocese and from parish to parish, instructing the people, preaching, helping the poor, hearing confessions, giving retreats, opening schools and rebuilding church buildings. His labors were almost miraculously fruitful.  He stated that never did a sinner resist after being touched by him with a Rosary.
