Saint of the Day
St. Archmimus (5th century)
Archmimus was a servant of the vandal king, Genseric. When the king demanded him to renounce his faith, he refused. Not wanting to make a martyr of him, the king had him tortured and enslaved in the mines of Byzacena.
Pope St. Leo the Great Speaks
Virtue is nothing without the trial of temptation, for there is no conflict without an enemy, no victory without strife.
Scripture Verse of the Day
The Words of St. Escriva
Peace
You are extraordinarily happy. Sometimes you may find out that God has been abandoned by a son of his. Then, in the midst of the peace and joy deep within you, you feel a pang of grief and a sorrow which arises from affection, but you do not allow it really to disturb or upset you.
All right, but make sure you use all human and supernatural resources available to help him change his mind. And you must trust fully in Jesus Christ. If you do, the waters will return to their course.
(Furrow, #859)
Catholic Catechism #2197
The fourth commandment opens the second table of the Decalogue. It shows us the order of charity. God has willed that, after him, we should honor our parents to whom we owe life and who have handed on to us the knowledge of God. We are obliged to honor and respect all those whom God, for our good, has vested with his authority.
