“Love and truth will meet; justice and peace will kiss. Truth will spring from the earth; justice will look down from heaven.” Psalm 85, verses 11 to 12 The Love of God who leans toward us seeks his truth in us. God’s justice brings peace to our lives. Justice is all that God offers us. May we share what we receive from God: Joy, peace, hope, mercy... We read that Love is received in the Truth and the Justice of God leads to peace. Now, how can we get peace in our hearts if we are quick to get into conflict and slow to listen to God? How to get peace, when some groups in the world provoke war and want to control the world? The bottom line is very simple. Everything is simple with the Trinity. When we turn away from Love, from Truth, from God’s righteousness, we do not have peace, we do not live justice, love and truth. The lack of peace causes war and makes the path to peace more difficult. Peace is a sign, a foretaste of holiness. Peace is a sign that we are a family, a people approaching …More

(for @chris griffin) "He who prays most receives most." "Your God is ever beside you—indeed, He is even within you." "The past is no longer yours; the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good." "The heart of man is, so to speak, the paradise of God." "He who trusts himself is lost. He who trusts in God can do all things." "It is a great mistake to be afraid of the devil. He trembles and flees at the sight of the Cross." "True love consists in finding God in everything, and loving Him in everything." "He who does not give up prayer cannot possibly continue in sin." "Our Lord loves you and loves you tenderly, and if He does not let you feel the sweetness of His love, it is to make you more humble and abject in your own eyes." "Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with Him, familiarly and with confidence and love, as to the dearest and most loving of friends." St. Alphonsus Liguori was born on September 27, 1696, in Marianella, near …More

Excerpt from "Spirit of RP AVRILLON to spend Advent and Lent in a holy manner": SATURDAY, EVE OF PENTECOST Day of PRACTICAL appeal: Start the day by making reparation to the Holy Spirit for the faults that everyone might have made since the Ascension Day; you are all on the verge of possessing the most precious of all treasures; redouble your prayers, your desires and your fervor to attract the Holy Spirit within you; say often: Holy Spirit, draw me to you; Holy Spirit, make me worthy to draw you into me. MEDITATION: 1st point. In the attraction of the Holy Spirit, we must consider the action of Almighty God on our soul, by which he attracts it to himself, and our cooperation in responding to this attraction and in attracting it in our turn in We. God had promised us through the prophet Hosea (Ch. 11) that he would draw us to himself by the sweet bonds of charity; and he says in Jeremiah (Ch. 13): I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I attracted you by the compassion I …More

QUESTION 34 — THE WORD Regarding the Word, we will ask ourselves: 1. Is this word an essential or personal name in God? 2. Is it a name proper to the Son? 3. Does this name of Word imply a relationship with creatures? Article 1 - Is the word “Word” an essential or personal name in God? Objection: 1. Personal names are attributed to God in the literal sense, as is the case with the names of Father and Son. On the contrary, according to Origen, the name Word is attributed to God by metaphor. It is therefore not a personal name in God. 2 . “The word is knowledge imbued with love,” says St. Augustine. And, according to S. Anselm, “to say, for the Supreme Spirit, is to consider by reflecting”. Now, knowledge, reflection and consideration are essential predicates in God. Consequently, “Word” is not a personal predicate in God. 3. By definition, the verb is something that is said. Now, according to S. Anselm, just as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all three knowers, so also each …More

NINTH DAY Thou, on those who evermore Thee confess, and Thee adore, In Thy sevenfold gifts, descend: Give them comfort when they die; Give them life with Thee on high; Give them joys which never end. Amen. The Fruits of the Holy Ghost The gifts of the Holy Ghost perfect the supernatural virtues by enabling us to practice them with greater docility to divine inspiration. As we grow in the knowledge and love of God under the direction of the Holy Ghost, our service becomes more sincere and generous, the practice of virtue, more perfect. Such acts of virtue leave the heart filled with joy and consolation, and are known as Fruits of the Holy Ghost. These Fruits in turn render the practice of virtue more attractive, and become a powerful incentive for still greater efforet in the service of God, to serve Whom is to reign. Prayer Come, O Divine Spirit, fill my heart with Thy heavenly fruits: charity, joy, peace, patience, long-suffering, benignity, goodness, faith, mildness, and modesty, …More
