Wherever there is love, there is a trinity: a lover, a beloved, and a fountain of love.
— St. Augustine of Hippo

I'm praying for you!

St. Augustine, who I'm totally naming a kid after

"But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in him but in myself and his other creatures, and the search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error."
— St.Augustine

I'm praying for you!

More Fulton Sheen because he's the best

"Do not stunt your spiritual life by looking always for your faults. Think of God’s love. Never despair! Not until God ceases to be infinitely good and you begin to be infinitely wicked have you a right to be hopeless."
— Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen 

I'm praying for you!

I remembered the homily from last night

So last night, the homily I heard was about particular judgment of each soul and preparing ourselves for it, so the priest outlined three lies that Satan would like us to believe.

1. That we still have plenty of time to repent, when in reality we could die at any moment. Our hearts become harder the more we sin and we should run to seek forgiveness as soon as possible.

2. That it is too great a sin for God's mercy. This is really a form of pride. Nothing we can do is unforgivable.

3. That it is too small a sin to concern God, when really God is offended by every sin, no matter how small it may seem to us, so we need to repent of all of them and turn away from all sin.

I'm praying for you!

Random verse from Wisdom

And you taught your people, by these deeds, that those who are just must be kind; And you gave your sons good ground for hope that you would permit repentance for their sins. (Wisdom 12:19)

I highly recommend reading this entire chapter and the one before it. And the one before that. Meh, better just read the whole book.

I'm praying for you!
