The Saints await us; the Angels await us; Mary awaits us; and Jesus stands with the crown in His Hands wherewith to crown us if we shall be faithful to Him.

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

Should Laity Pray the Breviary or the Rosary? - "Think of it this way: in a time of peace, one might emphasize cultivating the fine arts, but in a time of war, one learns to shoot a gun or build a wall. The arts are nobler, but the fighting and bricklaying are more necessary. As in the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Exile, so today: we carry a shovel in one hand and a sword in the other (cf. Neh 4:15–20). But we do not neglect what is the greater, or treat it as a thing of little account; we pursue it when and as the Lord gives us the ability." https://onepeterfive.com/should-laity-pray-the-breviary-or-the-rosary/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Onepeterfive+%28OnePeterFive%29

Mozart Requiem - Lacrimosa - Herrwegghe

“Men are often called intelligent wrongly. Intelligent men are not those who are erudite in the sayings and books of the wise men of old, but those who have an intelligent soul and can discriminate between good and evil. They avoid what is sinful and harms the soul; and with deep gratitude to God they resolutely adhere by dint of practice to what is good and benefits the soul. These men alone should truly be cailed intelligent.”

+St. Anthony The Great

“Oh, if only you could know how harsh the pains of Purgatory are, you would much sooner choose to have all the wars, famines, and plagues of this life come down on you than to remain in those torments of Purgatory.”

- Girolamo Savonarola

In each case, my hopes were crushed; and in each case, I was furious with God. While I did not put all of my hope in those things, I did put some hope in them. However, that is not what the Bible tell us to do. It does not say, “set your hope on the grace,” nor even, “set most of your hope on the grace,” but “set your hopes completely on the grace.” We find ourselves dejected precisely because we have put stakes in things other than God’s grace.
