   Blessed Agnellus and Saint Euphrasia were confronted with multiple   
   obstacles and ridicule in their lives, but through their humility and   
   meekness were able not only to overcome these obstacles, but witness   
   to the love of Christ in the process. They exhibited that special   
   quality, the quality that made those who encountered them wonder about   
   what made them different from others? We know the answer is the grace   
   of God, the identification with, and living of, the Christian life we   
   are all called to. How often are our lives, our behaviors, witness of   
   that call to others? How often, when we meet someone, do they wonder   
   what makes us different, special, grace-filled, at peace?   
   --By Jacob   
      
      
   Saint Quote:   
   Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to   
   abandon themselves unreservedly to Him and if they were to allow His   
   grace to mold them accordingly.   
   -- Saint Ignatius of Loyola   
      
   Bible Quote:   
   He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh   
   the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice   
   in him.  (John 7:18)  DRB

   Let us visit Christ whenever we may:   
      
   "...Let us visit Christ whenever we may; let us care for him, feed   
   him, clothe him, welcome him, honor him, not only at a meal, as some   
   have done, or by anointing him, as Mary did, or only ye lending him a   
   tomb, like Joseph of Arimathaea, or by arranging for his burial, like   
   Nicodemus, who loved Christ half-heartedly, or by giving him gold,   
   frankincense and myrrh, like the Magi before all these others. The   
   Lord of all asks for mercy, not sacrifice, and mercy is greater than   
   myriads of fattened lambs. Let us then   
   show him mercy in the persons of the poor and those who today are   
   lying on the ground, so that when we come to leave this world they may   
   receive us into everlasting dwelling places, in Christ our Lord   
   himself, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."   
   --St. Gregory of Nazianzen.
