The choice of a lesser sacrifice will result in a lesser reward.

Thought for the Day

Saint Thomas notes that to take delight in the word of God, in a spirit of faith, prepares for the vision of God in heaven. It is a necessary and decisive step.

The tendency to laziness, or at least to a lack of attention and to sluggishness in our work is called sloth. The slothful person seeks to avoid all effort and whatever requires toil. Work preserves us from many vices, as well as from useless or bad thoughts.

Christmas

"Peace to men!" That all may walk to the manger, as the shepherds and the Magi, in search of Jesus... And may Mary, who today "nobis edidit Salvatorem" (has given us the Saviour), be proclaimed blessed by every generation.

Holiness

Authentic holines is only and always gospel holiness. Those who have a true spirit of poverty acquire more easily the spirit of prayer and the desire for heaven.

Gospel

Pray that the Gospel be read and meditated upon by individuals because it is especially here that recollection helps in penetrating well the divine thought and for the heart, to give birth to resolutions.

Advent

Advent is preparation for Christmas. Come Christmas, Jesus will open to men His school: school of truth, school of sanctity, school of love. All of us need this Master who for us makes Himself way, truth and life.

Mission Sunday

The Day of the Missions has this purpose: that the Gospel may reach every nation, every individual, every family and may inspire the laws, the school, the editions. That it may become therefore the rule for every man and for all mankind.

Guardian Angel

Have a deep and tender devotion to the Guardian Angels. They will teach you the supreme wisdom of seeking God's kingdom in all things such that you will have constant nostalgia for their homeland.
