Guest Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Sunday 20.8.17 Today's Second Reading in Part Quote " Just as you changed from being disobedient to God, and now enjoy mercy because of their disobedience, so those who are disobedient now – and only because of the mercy shown to you – will also enjoy mercy eventually. God has imprisoned all men in their own disobedience only to show mercy to all mankind." Today's Gospel in Part Quote ’ He said in reply, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.’ But the woman had come up and was kneeling at his feet. ‘Lord,’ she said ‘help me.’ He replied, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the house-dogs.’ She retorted, ‘Ah yes, sir; but even house-dogs can eat the scraps that fall from their master’s table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your wish be granted.’ And from that moment her daughter was well again. "And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief" (Matthew Chapter 13). It could be said that wherever He found Faith, He worked miracles and still does so today. From today's hymn at Morning Prayer: For why, the Lord our God is good: His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure Edited August 20, 2017 by BarbaraTherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 TRUST & CONFIDENCE IN GOD ALWAYS Excerpt......".......... If we totally trust in God as our loving Father at all times, then we will have strength to overcome whatever evil we face, and many traps that satan has planned for our future will not come to pass. God doesn't want us trusting in Him 50% of the time, or 20% of the time. God wants us trusting in Him 100% of the time, so the next time you have a decision to make - any decision - give it to God, and He will let you know the way you need to go. Otherwise, the enemy will take over and more often than not, you will not choose wisely. .....".......... http://www.catholicbible101.com/totaltrustingod.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 From the Closing Prayer at Vespers, Sunday 20.8.17: Quote Excerpt: " Lord God, you have prepared for those who love you what no eye has seen, no ear has heard. Fill our hearts with your love, so that, loving you above all and in all, we may attain your promises which the heart of man has not conceived.

Guest Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Commentary of the day : Saint Bede the Venerable (c.673-735), monk, Doctor of the Church Homily on the Gospels I, 22 “Woman, you have great faith! Your wish will come to pass.” The Gospel shows us the Canaanite woman’s great faith, her patience, her perseverance and humility… This woman was gifted with a truly uncommon patience. After her first request, the Lord didn’t answer even with one word. In spite of that, far from ceasing to pray even for one moment, she implored the help of his kindness with greater insistence… Seeing the ardor of our faith and the tenacity of our perseverance in prayer, the Lord ends up by having pity on us and giving us what we desire. The Canaanite woman’s daughter was “troubled by a demon.” Once the bad agitation of our thoughts has been driven out and the knots of our sins untied, serenity of spirit will return to us as well as the ability to act correctly… If, following the example of the Canaanite woman, we persevere in prayer with unshakeable firmness, our Creator’s grace will be present to us. It will correct all the errors in us, it will sanctify all that is impure, it will pacify all agitation. For the Lord is faithful and just. He will forgive our sins and will purify us from every stain if we cry to him with the attentive voice of our heart. http://dailygospel.org/M/AM/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Today, Monday 21st August, is the Memorial of St Pius X. I have long had a special affinity for St Pius X. He is the Pope who permitted children at around 7 years of age to make their First Confession and receive their First Holy Communion: Quote Excerpt........."................After careful deliberation on all these points, this Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacraments, in a general meeting held on July 15, 1910, in order to remove the above-mentioned abuses and to bring about that children even from their tender years may be united to Jesus Christ, may live His life, and obtain protection from all danger of corruption, has deemed it needful to prescribe the following rules which are to be observed everywhere for the First Communion of children. 1. The age of discretion, both for Confession and for Holy Communion, is the time when a child begins to reason, that is about the seventh year, more or less. From that time on begins the obligation of fulfilling the precept of both Confession and Communion......"........... https://www.ewtn.com/library/curia/cdwfirst.htm Edited August 21, 2017 by BarbaraTherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 St Elizabeth of The Trinity Quote Who was Elizabeth of The Trinity? Excerpt:......“That idea deeply, deeply influenced Elizabeth of the Trinity and in fact inspired her own way of life and her own spiritual mission to help lead souls into mystical prayer,” Lilles reflected. “She understood that the way she loved souls all the way was to help them find and encounter the Lord.” “So, the spiritual missions of Therese of Lisieux and Elizabeth of the Trinity coincide: great theologians like Hans Urs von Balthasar recognized that. And these spiritual missions have both greatly influenced the Church in the 20th and early 21st centuries in very powerful ways.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
