  1. Quote of the day, 8 May: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

    “Virgo fidelis”: that is, Faithful Virgin, “who kept all these things in her heart.” [Lk. 2:19] She remained so little, so recollected in God’s presence, in the seclusion of the temple, that she drew down upon herself the delight of the Holy Trinity: “Because He has looked upon the lowliness of His servant, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed!” [Lk. 1:48]

    The Father, bending down to this beautiful creature, who was so unaware of her own beauty, willed that she be the Mother in time of Him whose Father He is in eternity.

  2. A quotation from The Bible

    The faithful all lived together and owned everything in common; they sold their goods and possessions and shared out the proceeds among themselves according to what each one needed.
     
    [πάντες δὲ οἱ πιστεύοντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ εἶχον ἅπαντα κοινὰ καὶ τὰ κτήματα καὶ τὰς ὑπάρξεις ἐπίπρασκον καὶ διεμέριζον αὐτὰ πᾶσιν καθότι ἄν τις χρείαν εἶχεν·]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Acts 2:44-45 [JB (1966)]

  3. God has called and chosen us, but that does not mean we can take God's #election for granted and assume all will be well no matter what we may think, feel, say, and do.

    We are still called to prove #faithful and #obedient to Jesus Christ our Lord.
