      [continued from previous message]              Saint Eusebius, throughout all of these horrible sufferings, kept his       eyes fixed on God. His faith never wavered, and at great peril to       himself, defended the Church, the divinity of Christ, and the tenets       of our faith without hesitation. His life reminds us that suffering       has purpose-- that the moral suffering we are graced with in the world       is linked to Christ. It is through this suffering that our blood can       be mixed with the infinitely precious Blood of Our Lord to assist in       the expiation of sin and the salvation of souls.       -- by Jacob                     Here is one of the best means to acquire humility: fix well in mind       this maxim: One is as much as he is in the sight of God, and no more.       --Thomas a Kempis              Bible Quote       "Just as the sun shines simultaneously on the tall cedars and on each       little flower as though it were alone on the earth, so Our Lord is       occupied particularly with each soul as though there were no others       like it."       --St. Therese of the Child Jesus "Story of a Soul" (p. 14)              <><><><>       Lord God,       St. Eusebius affirmed the divinity of Your Son.       By keeping the faith he taught,       may we come to share the eternal life of Christ,       who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,       one God, for ever and ever. Amen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
