   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.
