Saint of the Day
St. Paschasius (786-860)
Paschasius was a Benedictine abbot, but resigned to devote himself to study. His most important work, "The Body and Blood of Christ," started the first controversy on the Eucharist; it cleared the way for a precise understanding of Transubstantiation.
St. Anthony Mary Claret Speaks
When I am before the Blessed Sacrament I feel such a lively faith that I can't describe it. Christ in the Eucharist is almost tangible to me... hen it is time for me to leave, I have to tear myself away from His sacred presence.
Scripture Verse of the Day
The Words of St. Escriva
Daring
You won't commit yourself to working in that supernatural enterprise, because – you say – you are afraid of not knowing how to please, or of making some unfortunate mistake. If you thought more about God, those excuses would disappear.
(Furrow, #114)
Catholic Catechism #2228
Parents' respect and affection are expressed by the care and attention they devote to bringing up their young children and providing for their physical and spiritual needs. As the children grow up, the same respect and devotion lead parents to educate them in the right use of their reason and freedom.
