St. Raphael

 
A Carmelite friend recently gave me this holy card of St. Kalinowski.
(Looks to be foreign in origin).
Will need to read up on his life and writings...

Forgotten And Way, Way Overdue...


Must have forgotten about this one (even though it's famous).
This one is way, way overdue.  Can't possibly do without it.   Sorry I missed you, Lord!

Llena Eres de Gracia...

Prayer to the Virgin


In seeing You so pure, so tender, and so compassionate, who would not be encouraged to unburden his intimate sufferings to you?

Who would not ask you to be his star on this stormy sea?  Who is there who would not cry in your arms without instantly receiving your immaculate kisses of love and comfort? If he be a sinner, your caresses will soften him.  If one of your devoted ones, your presence would enkindle the living flame of divine love.

If he be poor, you with your powerful hand will aid him and show him his true homeland.
If rich, you will sustain him with your breath against the dangers of his very agitated life.  If one is in affliction, you with your tearful gaze will show him the cross and on it your Divine Son.

Who will not find balm for his pains by considering the torments of Jesus and Mary? The sick man finds in your maternal heart the water of salvation that allows your enchanting smile to blossom forth, and makes him smile with love and happiness.

-- St. Teresa of the Andes

It Is Not For You To Know...



It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth...

--Acts 1:7,8
