PRAYER TO BE FREED OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

~thread; daily instalments~

1. O meek Saviour and Prince of Peace,
implant in me the virtues
of gentleness and patience.
Let me curb the fury of ANGER
(cont'd in comment section)

#freedom #sin #anger #Christianity #Christiantwitter

... and restrain all resentment and impatience
so as to overcome evil with good,
attain Your peace,
and rejoice in Your love.

(#prayer to be freed of the seven #deadly #sins, Day 1)

2. O Model of humility,
divest me of all PRIDE and arrogance.
Let me acknowledge
my weakness and sinfulness,
so that I may bear mockery and contempt for Your sake
and esteem myself as lowly in Your sight.

(#prayer to be freed of the seven #deadly #sins, Day 2) #prayer #faith

O Teacher of abstinence,
help me to serve You rather than my appetites.
Keep me from GLUTTONY – the inordinate love for food and drink –
and let me hunger and thirst for your justice.

(#prayer to be freed of the seven #deadly #sins Day 3) #Jesus #ChristiansOnTwitter #gluttony

O Lover of purity,
remove all LUST from my heart,
so that I may serve You with a pure mind
and a chaste body.

(#prayer to be freed of the #SevenDeadlySins, Day 4)
#Christian #freedom from the #slavery of #lust

O Father of the poor,
help me to avoid all COVETOUSNESS for earthly goods
and grant me a love for heavenly things.
Inspire me to give to the needy,
just as You gave Your life
that I might inherit eternal treasures.

(#prayer to be freed of the seven #deadly #sins) #covetousness

O Exemplar of love,
keep me from all ENVY and ill-will.
Let the grace of Your love dwell in me
that I may rejoice in the happiness of others
and bewail their adversities.

(#prayer to be freed of the seven #deadly #sins) #envy

O zealous Lover of souls,
keep me from all SLOTH of mind and body.
Inspire me with zeal for Your glory,
so that I may do all things for You
and in You.
Amen.

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,
#quotes

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

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,

-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,
