   All bow down before wealth

    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.

   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.

   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

   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.
