1. Think nothing of the hatred of the world, if Jesus Christ was treated as a madman, it is no surprise that His followers are likewise treated.

#JesusChrist #Christian #ChristiansOnTwitter #CatholicTwitter #books #Bible
2. The world is mired in malice, friendship with it means enmity with God, an if you follow the world, you too will become worldly with the worldly... therefore despise it all, so as to be able to say with St Paul, the world is dead to me and I am dead to the world.
3. Scorn the world with all your soul, live according to the true doctrine of the Heart of Jesus. And what is that doctrine? It can be wholly understood through the eight beatitudes.
#Beatitudes
4. Blessed are the poor in spirit, meaning those detached from all worldly things, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5. Blessed are the meek, meaning those who accept all out of love for God, for they shall inherit the earth, the promised land of heaven.
6. Blessed are those who mourn, meaning those who, in this vale of tears, know the holy sadness of the cross, for they shall be comforted.
7. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for what is right, meaning those who desire virtue and perfection, for they shall be satisfied.
8. Blessed are the merciful, meaning those who know how to love their neighbours and live in communion with them, for they shall receive mercy.
9. Blessed are the pure in heart, meaning those who are pure, far from every sin and whose intentions are right, for they shall see God.
10. Blessed are the peacemakers, meaning those who know how to live in peace with God, with themselves and with others, for they shall be called sons of God.
11. Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of right, meaning through no faults of their own but because they uphold God’s truth, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
12. This is Jesus Christ’s true doctrine, and the rewards in store for those who follow it, heaven and earth will pass away, but His word will not.

This is truly amazing. 👇🏼

How a Girl Found Her Mother

🧵1. Jeanne Marie once heard a homily on the Holy Souls which made an indelible impression on her mind. The French...

2. servant girl was deeply moved by the thought of the sufferings the souls endure and horrified to see how cruelly they are neglected and forgotten by their friends on Earth.

Among other things the preacher stressed was that many souls who are in reality near to their release –
3. one Mass might suffice to set them free – are oftentimes long detained, it may be for years, just because the last needful suffrage has been withheld, or forgotten, or neglected!

Jeanne Marie resolved, that, cost what it may cost, she would have a Mass said to them, every

THE POLISH PRINCE (From "Read Me or Rue It")

🧵 1. A Polish Prince, who, for some political reason, had been exiled from his native country, bought a beautiful property in France.

Unfortunately he had lost the faith of his childhood and was at the time of the events
2. engaged in writing a book against God and the existence of a future life.

Strolling one evening in his garden he came across a poor woman weeping bitterly. He questioned her as to the cause of her grief.

“Ah! Prince,” she replied, “I am the wife of Jean Marie,
3. your former steward, who died two days ago. He was a good husband to me and a faithful servant to your Highness. His sickness was long and I spent all our savings on the doctors and now I have nothing left to get Masses said for his soul.”

The Prince, touched by her grief,

AN INESTIMABLE TREASURE

-thread-
1. The beginning of true virtue is most ardently to desire it, and to ask it of God with the utmost assiduity and earnestness, and considering riches as nothing in comparison with this our only and inestimable treasure. Fervent prayer,

2. holy meditation, and reading pious books, are the principal means by which it is to be constantly improved, and the interior life of the soul to be strengthened. (From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints)
3. PRECIOUS TIME

Is it possible that so many Christians, capable of finding in God their sovereign felicity, should amuse themselves with pleasures which flatter the senses, with reading profane books, and seeking an empty satisfaction in idle visits,

AN AGNOSTIC WITH NO AX TO GRIND TOLD ME, ‘IF I WERE RELIGIOUS, I’D BE A ROMAN CATHOLIC.’

-thread-
1. It was the haphazard remark of a photographer, an agnostic I believe, that opened my eyes... it was to the effect

#CatholicEdChat #Jesus #Twitter #Bible #books #BookTwitter Image
2. that if Christianity were true, obviously the Roman Catholic Church, with her authority was right.

It was the testimony of a man who had no ax to grind. A Jewish dentist made the same remark in effect to me shortly afterwards. The man-in-the-street
#Catholicism #Christianity
3. testifies the same with his: ‘If I were religious, I’d be a Roman Catholic.’

WHY SHOULD I STAKE MY IMMORTAL SOUL UPON HUMAN OPINION?

I entered upon an intensive study of the point. I read the history of the doctrine,

21st OCTOBER: ST ZAIRA, MARTYR

-thread-
1.St Zaira is mentioned today's catalogue of feast days as being martyred in Spain, during the occupation of the Moors and as remembered on October 21.
Very little else is handed down to us about this saint, #StZaira
2. but making some reflections we can deduce some circumstances of her saintly life.

The name derives from the Arabic Zahirah and means "the rose" and often occurs in oriental literature, even in the form Zara.

In Spain, the occupation
3. of the Muslim Moors, provoked a strong religious persecution against the pre-existing Christians and their institutions, with the aim of imposing the islamic religion.

During this ordeal, there were many Christian martyrs, who resisted the injunctions,
