      From: richarra@gmail.com               All bow down before wealth              All bow down before wealth. Wealth is that to which the multitude of       men pay an instinctive homage. They measure happiness by wealth; and       by wealth they measure respectability. . . . It is a homage resulting       from a profound faith . . . that with wealth he may do all things.       Wealth is one idol of the day and notoriety is a second. . . .       Notoriety, or the making of a noise in the world—it may be called       "newspaper fame"—has come to be considered a great good in itself, and       a ground of veneration.              John Henry Cardinal Newman, "Saintliness the Standard of Christian       Principle," (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1906)              ===========       13 June – Saint Tryphillius              (Died 370)        Bishop of Nicosia, Cyprus, eloquent and learned Priest, Defender of       the True Faith against Arianism and of St Athanasius of Alexandria.       Born in Rome, Italy and died in 370 of natural causes. Also known as –       Triphyllius, Trifilio, Trifillo.              Tryphillius was educated in law at the school of Beirut. He converted       to Christianity and was named Bishop of Nicosis.              He was a disciple of Saint Spyridon of Trimythous. He was also an       ardent supporter of St Athanasius of Alexandria against the Arians.       Saint Athanasius praised Tryphillius for his adherence to orthodoxy       and consequently, the Arians turned their attacks on him.              Tryphillius lived in simplicity without pomp or splendour, and       preached everyday. St Jerome considered him one of the most eloquent       Church figures of the era.              https://anastpaul.com/2021/06/13/                     “The life of the body,       is the soul,       the life of the soul,       is Christ.”                     “Attribute to God,       every good that you have received.       If you take credit for something       that does not belong to you,       you will be guilty of theft!”       --St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)              O God, send forth Your Holy Spirit       By St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) Doctor of the Church              O God, send forth Your Holy Spirit       into my heart       that I may perceive,       into my mind,       that I may remember,       and into my soul,       that I may meditate.       Inspire me to speak       with piety, holiness,       tenderness and mercy.       Teach, guide and direct my thoughts       and senses, from beginning to end.       May Your grace,       ever help and correct me,       and may I be strengthened now       with wisdom from on high,       for the sake of Your infinite mercy.       Amen              --St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231)       Evangelical Doctor of the Church              MORE HERE:       https://anastpaul.com/2020/06/13/quote-s-of-the-day-13-june-st-a       thony-of-padua/       AND:       https://anastpaul.com/2018/06/13/quote-s-of-the-day-13-june-the-       emorial-of-st-anthony-of-padua-1195-1231-doctor-of-the-church/              Reflection.       A soul which truly loves God regards all things of this world as       nothing. The loss of goods, the disgrace of the world, torments,       sickness, and other afflictions are bitter to the senses, but appear       light to the one who loves God. If we cannot bear our trials with       patience and silence, it is because we love Him only in words. “One       who is slothful and lukewarm complains of everything, and calls the       lightest precepts hard,” says Thomas a Kempis.                     Saint Quote:       Those who can enclose within the little paradise of the soul Him who       created heaven and earth, may well believe they are in a good road,       and that they shall not fail to arrive at length at the fountain of       life, because they will make great progress in a short time.       -- St. Teresa              Bible Quote       He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of       the cross. 9 For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given       him a name which is above all names: 10 That in the name of Jesus       every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and       under the earth: (Philippians 2:8-10) DRB              Saint Quote:       One great means of preserving a constant peace and tranquility of       heart is to receive all things as coming from the hands of God,       whatever they may be, and in whatever way they may come.       --St. Dorotheus              <><><><>       Oh my Jesus, Forgive us our sins.       Save us from the fires of Hell.       Lead all souls to Heaven,       especially those most in need of Your Mercy. Amen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
