The Holy Bible tells us that ‘He was wounded for our iniquities, He was bruised for our sins’ (Isaiah 53:3). St Alphonsus, Doctor of the Church, says that each one of

3. us can truly say the if I sinned just one sin less, then Jesus would have less to suffer in His Passion and Death.

The Blessed Virgin then tells us that we must pray because she knows, and the Catholic Church teaches, that without the grace of God no one can

ST ETHELBURGA - #Oct11

~thread~
1. St Ethelburga [Ethelburge, Edilburge] was an English Saxon princess, sister to St Erconwald, bishop of London. To the end that she might live entirely to God, she in her youth renounced the world
#StEthelburga #England #history #Christian

2. and neither riches nor the tempting splendour of a court could shake her resolution; for the world loses all its influence upon a mind which is wholly taken up with the great truths of faith and eternal salvation.

St Erconwald considered only the perfection of his sister’s

3. virtue, not flesh and blood, when he appointed her abbess of the nunnery which he founded at Barking in Essex. Ethelburge, by her example and spirit, sweetly led on all the chaste spouses of Christ in that numerous house in the paths of true virtue and Christian perfection.

“THINK OFTEN OF HEAVEN”

Think often of Heaven, and of that eternal procession, in which the Lamb of God is attended by the angelic hosts, and by the elect, ransomed by his redeeming Blood. Strive to number and to recognise those friends of yours whom you hope to find

2. among this illustrious Family of the eldest-born of the Lord, and let your heart be lifted up with joy at the thought that you, too, will one day join in those blessed ranks.

Yes, live as much as possible in this delightful hope, which is as much a precept as a virtue.

3. True it is, indeed, we are not perfect; but the Gospel teaches us that the Lord summons to the feast, yea, urgently, even the poor, the infirm, the blind, the lame,
