MONTHLY QUOTES

 April's Virtue
​~Patience~

"He who suffers in patience, suffers less and saves his soul.  He who suffers impatiently, suffers more and loses his soul."
— St. Alphonsus Liguori

"If you seek patience, you will find no better example than the cross. Great patience occurs in two ways: either when one patiently suffers much, or when one suffers things which one is able to avoid and yet does not avoid. Christ endured much on the cross, and did so patiently, because when he suffered he did not threaten; he was led like a sheep to the slaughter and he did not open his mouth."
​— St. Thomas Aquinas

Month of the Blessed Sacrament

"When you have received Him, stir up your heart to do Him homage; speak to Him about your spiritual life, gazing upon Him in your soul where He is present for your happiness; welcome Him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give proof to all of His Presence."
— St. Francis de Sales

​“O eternal Father, how could You permit Your Son to live with us, to endure fresh insults every day?  O my God!  What great love in that Son! And also, what great love in that Father!” 
​ — St. Teresa of Avila

April Saints
St. Catherine of Siena ~  April 30th

“God is more willing to pardon than we have been to sin.”
— St. Catherine of Siena

"O You who are mad about Your creature!  True God and true Man, You have left Yourself wholly to us, as food, so that we will not fall through weariness during our pilgrimage in this life, but will be fortified by You, celestial Nourishment!"
​— St. Catherine of Siena​

Modesty

"…O Christian mothers (and fathers), if only you knew the future of distress and peril, of shame ill-restrained, that you prepare for your sons and daughters in imprudently accustoming them to live hardly clothed and in making them lose the sense of modesty, you would be ashamed of yourselves and of the harm done to the little ones whom Heaven entrusted to your care, to be reared in Christian dignity and culture." — Pope Pius XII

​Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary! O Sweetest Mary! Let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee; for, in all my temptations, in all my needs, I shall never cease to call on thee, ever repeating they sacred name, Mary, Mary. O what consolation, what sweetness, what confidence, what emotion fill my soul when I utter thy sacred name, or even only think of thee! I thank the Lord for having given thee, for my good, so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering thy name. Let my love for thee prompt me ever to hail thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
His Holiness, Pope Pius IX, by a rescript of the S. Congr. of Rites, May 17, 1866, granted to all the faithful, who, with at least contrite heart and devotion, shall say this prayer:
AN INDULGENCE OF ONE HUNDRED DAYS, once a day.
