Lying may be one of the worst sins, since, the only title which Christ gives Satan is “The father of lies”. Therefore, to commit a lie is to say “God who is Truth, is not my father, since (as God himself as Christ has said, ‘a son can only do what he has learnt from his father’), I am the son of the father of lies.” by doing so, we are with our actions, rejecting the paternity of God and vowing ourselves to Satan: we are casting a vote that we are “children of the devil” and in so doing, casting our souls into hell.

From "Doc Kimble" on FB

“An honest man falls in love with an honest woman; he wishes, therefore to marry her, to be the father of her children, to secure her and himself. All systems of government should be tested by whether he can do this. If any system—feudal, servile, or barbaric—does, in fact, give him so large a cabbage-field that he can do it, there is the essence of liberty and justice. If any system—Republican, mercantile, or Eugenist—does, in fact, give him so small a salary that he can’t do it, there is the essence of eternal tyranny and shame.”
~ G.K. Chesterton

DECEMBER 23 — ST. SERVULUS

He used to entreat devout persons to read the Holy Scriptures to him, which he heard with such attention as to learn them by heart. His time heconsecrated by assiduously singing hymns of praise and thanksgiving to God. After several years thus spent, his distemper having seized his vitals, he felt his end was drawing nigh. In his last moments he desired the poor and pilgrims, who had often shared in his charity, to sing sacred hymns and psalms for him. Whilst he joined his voice with theirs, he on a sudden cried out: "Silence; do you not hear the sweet melody and praise which resound in the heavens?" Soon after he spoke these words he expired, and his soul was carried by angels into everlasting bliss, about the year 590.

REFLECTION. — The whole behavior of this poor sick beggar loudly condemns those who, when blessed with good health and a plentiful fortune, neither do good works nor suffer the least cross with tolerable patience.


~ Pictorial Lives of the Saints (1878)


St. Servulus, pray for us.

I like the idea that when you genuflect before the Eucharist it’s like when a solider kneels before his King to be knighted . It’s nice to genuflect and utter a silent prayer of “I pledge my fidelity to you, my God”

22 And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king."
1 Samuel 15:22, ESV
