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.

Fr Ripperger, Magisterial Authority.

Section about de fide non definita (the ordinary and universal magisterium) and modes of receiving it, including Patristics, the great Theologians, & Sensus Fidelium.
“The predominant virtue of the Saviour is zeal, the ardour of charity, as He Himself says: “I am come to cast fire [of charity] on the earth: and what will I, but that it be kindled?”

...

This thirst for the glory of God and the salvation of souls was the great cause of the sorrow which the Saviour experienced at the sight of the sins of men. It was also the cause of Mary’s suffering at the foot of the cross.

...

Such are the qualities of zeal, which is the ardour of charity, an enlightened, patient, meek, disinterested, and truly fruitful ardour that glorifies God, imitates our Lord, snatches souls from evil, and saves them.
It is clear that this zeal should exist, that too often it is lacking, and that it is in the normal way of sanctity. But to subsist, it should be kept up by profound prayer, by prayer that is continual and like an almost uninterrupted conversation of the soul with God in perfect docility.”

- Fr Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange
(Fr Chad Ripperger, Magisterial Authority)
Important book worth reading to grow in intellectual virtue.
"A conceited intellect is a waterless cloud (cf. Jude, verse 12) carried along by the winds of self-esteem and pride."

St. Thalassios the Libyan #saint #quote
Those who knew Padre Pio confirm that he nursed a tender love of Saint Thérèse and that she was among a handful of Pio's favorite saints.

Once, when he was a very young priest, he was approached by a young, unmarried Frenchwoman who asked Pio to bless a picture of the Little Flower. Pio beheld the picture of Saint Thérèse and he exclaimed with great joy and zeal, "She is a Saint a very Great Saint!"

Even at so young an age, Pio had the gift of being able to see the souls in Heaven and could see the Little Flower's high place as a Saint of immense greatness.

#Saint Thérèse and Saint Padre Pio, pray for us!
Rex qui sedet in solio judicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.

The King, that sitteth on the throne of judgement, scattered away all evil with his look.

Proverbs 20:8
