Lent reminds us, therefore, that Christian life is a never-ending combat in which the “weapons” of prayer, fasting and penance are used. Fighting against evil, against every form of selfishness and hate and dying to oneself to live in God -- Benedict XVI
The Eucharist is the sacrament of communion between brothers and sisters who allow themselves to be reconciled in Christ. -- Benedict XVI
In Jesus, God is now the one who acts and who rules as Lord — rules in a divine way, without worldly power, rules through the love that reaches “to the end”, to the Cross. — Benedict XVI
In the Heart of Jesus, the center of Christianity is set before us. This Heart calls to our heart. By handing ourselves over to him and with him, we discover the fullness of love. — Benedict XVI
I have a mustard seed; and I am not afraid to use it -- Benedict XVI
Love is the light — and in the end, the only light— that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working. Love is possible, and we are able to practise it because we are created in the image of God. — Benedict XVI
Faith in the resurrection of Jesus says that there is a future for every human being; the cry for unending life which is a part of the person is indeed answered... -- Benedict XVI
As pilgrims of faith, the Wise Men themselves became stars shining in the firmament of history and they show us the way. The saints are God’s true constellations, which light up the nights of this world, serving as our guides -- Benedict XVI
One cannot contemplate Mary without being attracted by Christ and one cannot look at Christ without immediately perceiving the presence of Mary. — Benedict XVI
Holy Mary, Mother of God, you have given the world its true light, Jesus, your Son – the Son of God. You abandoned yourself completely to God’s call and thus became a wellspring of the goodness that flows forth from him. -- Benedict XVI
Following the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose final refuge. Knowing the foundation of the world is love, so when no human being can help you, you may go on, trusting the One that loves you. -- Benedict XVI
One cannot contemplate Mary without being attracted by Christ and one cannot look at Christ without immediately perceiving the presence of Mary. — Benedict XVI
I ask you to abide in the adoration of Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. I ask you to enter into conversation with him, to bring before him your questions and to listen to his voice. — Benedict XVI
If discouragement overwhelms you, think of the faith of Joseph; if anxiety has its grip on you, think of the hope of Joseph; if exasperation or hatred seizes you, think of the love of Joseph, who was the first man to set eyes on the human face of God. — Benedict XVI
In a world where there is so much noise, so much bewilderment, there is a need for silent adoration of Jesus concealed in the Host. — Benedict XVI
One who has hope lives differently. ― Benedict XVI
The Rosary contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the centre of each "Hail Mary". — Benedict XVI
Kneeling before the Eucharist is a profession of freedom: those who bow to Jesus cannot and must not prostrate themselves before any earthly authority, however powerful. We Christians kneel only before the Blessed Sacrament because we know that the one true God is present in it.
Christ is not a treasure meant for us alone; He is the most precious treasure we have, one that is meant to be shared with others. In our age of globalization, be witnesses of Christian hope all over the world. — Benedict XVI
Be afraid neither of the world, nor of the future, nor of your weakness. The Lord has allowed you to live in this moment of history so that, by your faith, his name will continue to resound throughout the world. — Benedict XVI

On this Lenten Saturday let us remember the model of faith that the Immaculate Virgin Mary offers to all of us. She is the first Christian disciple as she says “Let it be” to God’s plan to give us His Divine Son. Her Yes continues to this day. Let us say Yes to Jesus as she did.
O My Jesus forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven especially those most in need of Thy mercy, Amen //www.catholicnewsagency.com/resources/fatima-2010/the-three-children/blessed-francisco-and-jacinta-marto
May our Lenten Fast increase our longing, our mourning, our hunger for the absent bridegroom who gives meaning to our lives. Our world is such a noisy place, let us fast from the noise, from all the attempts to fill our emptiness with what this world offers. Hunger for Jesus!
Aujourd’hui, le pape a accepté la renonciation de ma charge de Préfet de la Congrégation pour le Culte Divin après mon soixante-quinzième anniversaire. Je suis entre les mains de Dieu. Le seul roc, c’est le Christ. Nous nous retrouverons très vite à Rome et ailleurs. +RS
Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto, pray for us! #Catholic catholicnewsagency.com/saint/blessed-…

5 things to give up for Lent #Lent2021 #timeoflent #conversion #surrender #GodIsGood #CatholicTwitter #priest #religious
“The president should stop defining himself as a devout Catholic & acknowledge that his view on abortion is contrary to Catholic moral teaching. It would be a more honest approach from him to say he disagreed with his Church on this important issue,” bit.ly/3aqkIVe
« C’est maintenant le moment favorable, c’est maintenant le jour du salut ! » Les paroles de l’apôtre Paul aux chrétiens de Corinthe résonnent pour nous avec une urgence qui n’admet ni absence ni inertie. Ce jour je vous invite à partir au désert, loin du bruit, près de Dieu. +RS
A beautiful blessing...May Jesus strengthen you in His Eucharistic face & May those who do not believe come to believe that He is present Body & Blood, Soul & Divinity in the Eucharist He instituted

This Lent, immerse yourself in Jesus’ horrific sufferings, and receive the grace, light and strength to bear your own sufferings. For daily #Lent meditations based on the writings of St. Faustina: bit.ly/ERC4276 #EWTN #Catholic #AshWednesday #AshTag
Thank you, Lord, for allowing your sons and daughters dying from Covid 😢 to leave this world with the comfort of your Sacraments 🙏. #tough #heartbreaking #lastrites #blessing #intensivecareunit #london #catholicpriest #brothersofsaintjohn
#Lent is approaching - and it's a great time to revisit the confessional if you haven't been in a while. But don't wait for Lent if you need to go now - Run to confession to receive God's forgiveness and mercy. resources.ewtn.com/2021-lenten-re… #EWTN #Catholic #AshWednesday #AshTag
From Pope Leo XIII, “It is unlawful to follow one line of conduct in private life & another in public, respecting privately the authority of the Church but publicly rejecting it, for this would amount to joining together good & evil” Encyclical “Immortale Dei” #47 think about it
Throughout history, the Blessed Mother has appeared to give warnings about what would befall unrepentant sinners. Today, on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, we recall her prophetic messages of love. Mother of Mercy, pray for us! ewtn.com/catholicism/te…
En cette fête de Notre-Dame de Lourdes, je prie pour les malades de la COVID. J’assure les familles de ma proximité. La Mère du Christ entend nos cris. Nous pouvons avoir le sentiment que nous ne sommes pas entendus. Mais ce n’est vrai. Marie est là. Elle veille en silence. +RS
OUR LADY OF LOURDES Today marks the first apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1858 to St Bernadette, March 25 she said to the little shepherdess who was only fourteen years of age: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Since then Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage & cures.
