Were praised in silence by the Word,

And we in Christ Your Son will sing,

Then Your poor creatures’ prayers will rise

Sufficient praise before Your…

And since we share Christ’s nature, we

Can pray, like Christ, almightily.

Through Jesus…

Novena to St. Isidore – Day 6: Stewardship of the Soil

Hymn

O Lord, as You by Your command

For all men’s use have made the land,

Yet have allowed man’s wise decree

Rule it be cared for privately;

Let us know that what we control

Is made for mankind as a whole,

And we must an accounting give

Of what God lends us while we live.

Through Jesus Christ…

Novena to St. Isidore – Day 3: Love of Neighbor

Hymn

O God, who made man from the slime

According to Your form sublime,

And made Christ share our lowliness

To let us share His holiness:

Be in each brother’s hand a light

To show the path through this dark night,

Be in us each the burning fire

That kindles love and kills desire.

Through Jesus Christ…

Accept as being done for You.

Through Jesus Christ let this be done

As we, if we should ride upon

The golden wings (O God) of dawn,

And seek the ends of earth and sky,

And may deserve at last by grace

To see You always face to face.

Through Jesus Christ let…

Lord, our God, whose mighty hand

Carved out the seas and built the land;

Of God, whom we by sloth forsake.

A Story of St. Nicholas

A Miracle Wrought by St. Nicholas in Kyiv in the 1920s

There were two of us in the room. Myself, and a man unknown to me, some 40-45 years of age. We introduced ourselves, each to the other. I do not remember either his name or his surname—and they probably would not have been “real,” anyway. We had to sleep on wooden benches and chairs.…

Stonor Recusant House

We visited Stonor House today.  It is listed as number 7 in the list of 25 most magnificent houses in the UK.  It is home to the Stonor family and has been in their family for 850 years.  They hid Edmund Campion and even own one of four of the original slim volumes of EC's "Ten Reasons" the curator seemed very apologetic and cited them as political rather than religious reasons to remain Catholic.  Apparently there were copies of the Douay Rheims Bible but unfortunately I didn't spot them. I…

The Weight of a Holy Mass

The following story is true. It was told to Sister M. Veronica Murphy by an elderly Sister, who heard it from the lips of the late Father Stanislaus SS.CC.

One day, many years ago, in a small village in Luxembourg, a Captain of the Forest Guards was in deep conversation with the butcher when an old woman arrived. The butcher asked the…
