Saint Augustine on the Ascension

Image of He did not leave heaven when he came down to us; nor did he withdraw from us when he went up again into heaven. The fact that he was in heaven even while he was on earth is borne out by his own statement: No one has ever ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven.

Out of compassion for us he descended from heaven, and although he ascended alone, we also ascend, because we are in him by grace. ... continue reading

St. Faustina and Devotion to Divine Mercy

Image of And you, Faustina, a gift of God to our time, a gift from the land of Poland to the whole Church, obtain for us an awareness of the depth of divine mercy; help us to have a living experience of it and to bear witness to it among our brothers and sisters. May your message of light and hope spread throughout the world, spurring sinners to conversion, calming rivalries and hatred and opening individuals and nations to the practice of brotherhood. Today, fixing our gaze with you on the face of the risen Christ, let us make our own your prayer of trusting abandonment and say with firm hope: Christ Jesus, I trust in you!

The light of divine mercy, which the Lord in a way wished to return to the world through Sr Faustina´s charism, will illumine the way ... continue reading

Pope Benedict XVI: The Resurrection of the Lord is Our Hope

Image of The resurrection of Christ is our hope! This the Church proclaims today with joy. She announces the hope that is now firm and invincible because God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

From the depths of my heart, I wish all of you a blessed Easter. To quote Saint Augustine, Resurrectio Domini, spes nostra – the ... continue reading
