You will not see anyone who is really striving after his advancement who is not given to spiritual reading. And as to him who neglects it, the fact will soon be observed by his progress.

AVE MARIA doloribus plena,
Crucifixus tecum:
lacrymabilis te in mulieribus,
et lacrymabilis fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Crucifixi:
lacrymas impertire nobis crucifixoribus Filii tui,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen.

“The two disciples, going to Emmaus, (Lk. 24:13-31) were inflamed with divine love by the few moments which they spent in company with our Saviour, and by His words. What flames of holy love must not, then, have been enkindled in the heart of St. Joseph, who for thirty years conversed with Jesus Christ, and listened to His words of eternal life; who observed the perfect example which Jesus gave of humility and patience, and saw the promptness with which He obeyed and helped him in his labours, and all that was needed for the household!”

Hello everyone, this is a guide I've made to praying the Rosary in Latin according to the First Method by St. Louis de Montfort, as well as an explanation of why it's important to pray as a group (taken from Secrets of the Rosary by St. Louis). Hope it's helpful!

''The Lord created all mortals in the light, offering the supreme joys of heaven according to their merits.

Blessed is the one who without straying directs his soul toward those heights and is vigilant to preserve himself from all evil.

Blessed again is the one who repents after sinning and often weeps because of his fault.

Alas! People live as though death did not follow life, as if hell were only an unfounded fable, though burning embrace.

Mortals, have a care that you live, all of you, in such a way that you do not have to fear the lake of hell.''

St. Bruno #saint #quote
The Saints on Spiritual Warfare:

...do you want to outwit the devil? Never let him catch you idle. Work, study, pray, and you will be surely overcome your spiritual enemy. - St. John Bosco 

Those engaged in spiritual warfare practice self-control in everything, and do not desist until the Lord destroys all seed from Babylon (Jer. 27:16. LXX).  - St. Mark the Ascetic

The vigour with which you resist the enemy will be the measure of the reward which will follow the combat. - St. Ignatius of Loyola

Shun evil and do good (Ps. 34:14), that is to say, fight the enemy in order to diminish the passions, and then be vigilant lest they increase once more. Again, fight to acquire the virtues and then be vigilant in order to keep them. This is the meaning of "cultivating" and 'keeping" (cf. Gen. 2:15). - St. Maximos the Confessor
