"The enemy can arouse the impulse of temptation, but it rests with you, if you choose, to give or to refuse consent... you alone can refuse your consent, and as many times as you resist so many times will you be crowned."
— St. Bernard of Clairvaux, Sermons for Lent and the Easter Season

“The evilest sin is the sin I myself do not commit”. How many times have all of us been guilty of thinking “He is a bad catholic because he does X I mean I may do Y all the time but at least I’m not like him”, or, to put it another way “Why do you remove the speck of sawdust from your friends eye but fail to see the log which is in your own”.

If only we could see the way God sees

There must be a reason

Addressing the Fear of Loneliness in the Priesthood

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesus hear me;
Within your wounds hide me;
separated from you, let me never be;
From the evil one protect me;
At the hour of my death, call me;
And close to you bid me;
That with your saints,
I may be praising you forever and ever.
Amen.

“A million different people….”

God bless the Church and all the Saints!

St-Augustine, pray for us!
