Almighty God, by whose providence your servant John the Baptist was wonderfully born, and sent to prepare the way of your Son our Savior by preaching repentance: Make us so to follow his teaching and holy life, that we may truly repent according to his preaching; and, following his example, constantly speak the truth, boldly rebuke vice, and patiently suffer for the truth's sake; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen 🙏 Credit: Bartolomé Estéban Murillo

Profaning the Holy

"Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.

So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

The Narrow Gate

"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few." (Mt 7:6, 12-14) 🦪 Credit: Tony Campbell

Saint Paulinus of Nola, born near Bordeaux to the Roman prefect of Gaul, was a distinguished lawyer and friend of Saints Augustine, Jerome, Ambrose, and others before retiring with his wife Therasia to a life of austerity and charity after the death of their newborn son. Ordained a priest by popular acclaim and later made bishop of Nola, he gave away most of his vast inheritance to support debtors, the homeless, and the poor while living a monastic life in his own home. Among his few surviving writings is the earliest known Christian wedding song, and he guided his diocese for 21 years until his death during the invasion of the Huns. ⚖️ Credit: Nicolas de Larmessin I

Happy Father's Day!

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ


Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.


To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.


But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 🍎 (Romans 5:12-15)

Sit in your cell as in paradise;
put the whole world behind you and forget it;

Like a skilled angler on the lookout for a catch
keep a careful eye on your thoughts.

The path you follow is in the psalms - don't leave it.

If you've come with a novice's enthusiasm and can't accomplish what you want, take every chance you can find to sing the psalms in your heart and to understand them with your head;If your mind wanders as you read don't give up but hurry back and try again.

Above all realize that you are in God's presence;
hold your heart there in wonder as if before your sovereign.

Empty yourself completely;
sit waiting, content with God's gift,
like a little chick tasting and eating nothing
but what its mother brings.
- Saint Romuald 🪔 Credit: Johann Karl Loth

"And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.


This, then, is how you should pray:


'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'


For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." 🙏 (Matthew 6:7-15)

Giving to the Needy


"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.


"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.


Prayer


"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 🤲 (Matthew 6:1-6)

Love for Enemies


"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:43-48) ❤️ Credit: Our Daily Bread Ministries

Eye for Eye


"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you." 👁️ (Matthew 5:38-42)
