The Most Holy Name of Mary

“The name of Mary is free from all vice
and resplendent with every virtue”
Saint Bonaventure

“Dei matris nomen sit mihi ultimus linguae loquentis motus,”
“May the name of the Mother of God be for me the last movement of my tongue!”
Blessed Bartolomo

“Let us pray, then, my devout reader, let us pray God to grant us
this grace, that the last word we pronounce at death may be the name of Mary.”
Saint Alphonsus Liguori

“May Jesus Christ, thy son, bestow the gifts of his grace on thy servants, w
ho invoke the sweet name of Mary.”
Saint Bernard

Mother Teresa

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

I alone cannot change the world
but I can cast a stone across the waters
to create many ripples.

Mother Teresa

There is a new Supergirl . Her name is Clark

The record setting face of women’s basketball, Caitlin Clark is a two-time national player of the year. She finished her collegiate career with 3,951 points. This is the most points in men’s and women’s Division I history.

Playing basketball for Dowling Catholic High School in Iowa, Caitlin told the Des Moines Register “We get to live our faith every day. Dowling starts every day with prayer and ends every day with prayer. This is a big reason why Dowling has such a special culture and is such a special place to go to school.”

“All we do is believe in each other and love each other to death and that’s what a true team is. If you want an example of what a team is, that’s what this team is. Coach Bluder knows how to create a team. You gotta create a culture where everybody’s valued. I’m just lucky enough to be a part of it.”

St Gregory the Great

The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue.

Therefore, if you want to be rich, beloved, love true riches. If you aspire to the heights of real honor, strive to reach the kingdom of Heaven. If you value rank and renown, hasten to be enrolled in the heavenly court of the Angels.

The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making
