Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.

For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light (Lk12:1-7 #HolyMass #Oct16)DR #Bible Image
2. and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.

And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. (Lk12:1-7) #Bible #Judgement #Christian #faith #JesusChrist
3. But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear ye him. (Lk12:1-7) #Bible #BibleQuotes #BibleDaily #BibleVerses #Biblia #BibleStudy #JesusChrist #BibleVerseForToday #FourLastThings #hell
4. Are not two sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

Yea, the very hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows. (Lk12:1-7) ~ Douay Rheims Bible #GospelOfTheDay #CatholicTwitter #Bible

SURSUM (HIGHER)

Let this be your motto, you who have to travel this steep way, which is called life!

When sadness oppresses your soul, and threatens to overwhelm it, look up to heaven, elevate yourself above passing things –

SURSUM, higher.

You were not made for this earth, Image
2. your country is the kingdom of God; child of God, do not linger over the things of this world.

When your companions on the way are wearied and acknowledge themselves conquered, take courage, gaze steadfastly at heaven and say again:

SURSUM! SURSUM! Higher, still higher!
3. Child of the heavenly fatherland, consider that your life is only the passage from nothingness to eternity. The earth is man’s field of action, he must sow good deeds, endure his share of desolation and of grief; it is only in heaven that he will find true rest and true joy.

ST IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH - 17th OCTOBER

~thread~
1. St Ignatius was a successor of St Peter as Bishop of Antioch. The young Church still had to operate extremely carefully and as inconspicuous as possible because the Roman authorities were constantly on the case of the Faithful. Image
2. [This difficult situation continued until a Roman Emperor had a dream that he would win the battles of the Roman Empire under the sign of the cross and finally became a Christian – this was Emperor Constantine.]

#history #RomanEmpire #EarlyChurch #Christian #StIgnatius
3. On his journey to Rome Ignatius wrote seven letters to different churches about Christ, the structure of the Church and Christian life. Eventually, St Ignatius was martyred under the Emperor Trajan by being thrown to the lions in the Colosseum in 107 A.D.

#StTeresaOfAvila
2. She was brought back to her home. After her mother’s death, she committed herself wholly to the patronage of the Blessed Virgin.

When she was twenty years old, she embraced the rule of the nuns of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Solicitous for the salvation of souls, she built
3. many monasteries and proposed that the original rule of the Carmelite foundation be observed by its women and men.

She continually offered to God the voluntary sufferings of her own body on behalf of infidels and heretics and, burning with divine love, she took a most

~thread
1. "DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO AVOID EVERY SINGLE SIN FOR LOVE OF OUR JESUS"

Our Lady of Fatima said on October 13, 1917, the day of the great Miracle of the Sun, ‘People must amend their lives #Fatima #Fatima103 #FatimasNextJob
2. and ask pardon for their sins. They must not continue to offend Our Lord, Who is already deeply offended.’

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
