      [continued from previous message]              and to gain souls for Him. It was this zeal that burned in the heart       of our saint; to this end he directed all his prayers and works of       penance. How much zeal have we for the cause of God, for the salvation       of our own soul and the souls of our fellowmen? How lukewarm, how       indifferent we are in these matters! Go frequently to the wound in the       side of Christ, and beg Him to draw you to Himself, so that the zeal       of His Sacred Heart may be kindled in you.                     PRAYER OF THE CHURCH       O God, who didst ordain that all amen be attracted to Thy only       begotten Son, who was raised above the earth, mercifully grant that,       by the merits and intercession of Thy seraphic confessor Joseph, we       may be raised above earthly desired and deserve to be admitted into       his company. Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen.              From:       http://www.paxetbonum.net/saints/september.html#18              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
