    -- Romans 10:9-13 --   
      
   That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in   
   your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For   
   it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is   
   with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says,   
   "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no   
   difference between Jew and Gentile; the same Lord is Lord of all and   
   richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the   
   name of the Lord will be saved."   
   ============================   
   Have you ever been asked, "How do I become a Christian?" These verses   
   give you the beautiful answer--salvation is as close as your own mouth   
   and heart. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is   
   not. If we believe in our hearts and say with our mouths that Christ   
   is the risen Lord, we will be saved.

   June 11th – St. Paula Frassinetti   
      
   Born 3 March 1809 at Genoa, Italy. Only daughter of John and Angela   
   Frassinetti, she was raised in a pious family, and all four of her   
   brothers became priests. Paula's mother died when the girl was nine   
   years old. In need of a substitute mother, Paula turned to Our Lady.   
      
   One of Paula's aunts moved in to help with the family, but she died   
   three years later, and at age twelve, Paula took over as homemaker.   
   Because of the endless chores at home, Paula was not able to attend   
   school. However, each night her brothers would pass along what they   
   had learned that day, her father filled in the gaps, and Paula   
   actually had a good education. She attended Mass daily, and prayed her   
   way though all of her daily work.   
      
   At age 20 she developed respiratory problems, and moved in with one of   
   brothers, a village priest in Quinto, Italy. When she recovered she,   
   with her brother's help, opened a parochial school for poor girls in   
   the area. In 1834, with a group of like-minded young women, she   
   founded the Sisters of Saint Dorothy, a congregation dedicated to   
   educating poor children. They soon opened foundations in Italy,   
   Portugal, and Brazil, and were noted for their work with the sick in   
   the cholera epidemic that ravaged northern Italy in 1835. The Sisters   
   received papal approval in 1863.   
      
   Died 11 June 1882 of pneumonia following a series of strokes; entombed   
   at Saint Onofria, the Dorothean motherhouse in Rome, Italy; body found   
   incorrupt in 1906   
      
   Beatified 8 June 1930 by Pope Pius XI. Canonized 11 March 1984 by Pope   
   John Paul II   
   Patron of sick people.   
      
      
   Saint Quote:   
   When I pronounce the name of Mary,   
    I feel myself inflamed with such love and joy,   
   that between the tears and happiness   
   which I pronounce this beautiful name,   
   I feel as though my heart might leave my breast.   
   For this sweet name is like a honeycomb dissolving   
   in the innermost recesses of my soul.   
   --Blessed Henry Suso

   You are they who declare yourselves just in the sight of men, but God   
   knows your heart.  (Luke 16:15)

   Prayer for peace:   
      
   O God, from Whom proceedeth all holy desires, all right   
   counsels and just works; grant unto us Thy servants that   
   peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be   
   devoted to Thy service, and that, being delivered from the   
   fear of our enemies, we may pass our time in peace under   
   Thy protection.  Through Christ our Lord Who reigneth with   
   Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, One God, forever.   
   Amen.
