Ye speak of honour, but I speak of labours and toil; for this is no time for rewards, but rather for slaughter, battles, and perils. -St. Chrysostom

God wills us to be saved; but for our greater good, he wills us to be saved as conquerors. While, therefore, we remain here, we have to live in a continual warfare; and if we should be saved, we have to fight and conquer.

God wills to be called upon, he wills to be forced, he wills to be conquered by importunity. . . . Happy violence by which God is not offended, but appeased!

The Apostle might well have gloried in the wisdom of Christ, or His majesty, or His power; but it was the Cross he specified. The philosopher’s shame is the Apostle’s boast.

The world proclaims its Author and ever leads us back to Him. Divine wisdom has left its mark on every thing, all we have to do is observe the same to be led from them to the soul, and from the soul to God.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish year, observed with fasting, prayer, and repentance, and with the work of reconciliation with God and with one another. Most Rev. Joseph C. Bambera (@BishopBambera), Bishop of @DioceseOfScr and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, extends greetings to the Jewish community.
Since the promulgation of Nostra Aetate in 1965, Catholics and Jews in the United States have built decades of dialogue and friendship rooted in a shared scriptural heritage. That relationship carries a responsibility: to reject antisemitism in all its forms, to deepen our understanding of Judaism and the Jewish people, and to work so that Jewish communities can live and worship free from hatred and fear.

There is One Person who will break down and smite small as the dust of the summer threshing-floor all the enemies of the Church.
It seems as if the Son of God were jealous lest any one should vindicate His authority. He has claimed the battle to Himself.

To this end has our memory been given us, that we may remember God; for this purpose have we intellect, that by faith and contemplation we may make progress in the knowledge of God; for this object have we free-will, that we may choose God and love Him.
