Excerpt

« And so that which till then was visible of our Redeemer was changed into a sacramental presence, and that faith might be more excellent and stronger, sight gave way to doctrine, the authority of which was to be accepted by believing hearts enlightened with rays from above.» According to Pope Leo I also known as Leo the Great bishop of Roma ( c.400- 461 November 10th)  Sermon LXXIV The Ascension Renders Our Faith More Excellent and Stronger. http://www.clerus.org/bibliaclerusonline/en/ghs.htm

PRAYER INTENTION

Through the intercession of Saint Justin, let us pray for the respect of what is "sacred" in the Church.

St. Augustine

O Thou Good Omnipotent, Who so carest for every one of us, as if Thou carest for him alone; and so for all, as if all were but one! Blessed is the man who loveth Thee, and his friend in Thee, and his enemy for Thee. For he only loses none dear to him, to whom all are dear in Him who cannot be lost. And who is that but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, even by filling them creating them. And Thy law is truth, and the truth is Thyself. I behold how some things pass away that others may replace them, but Thou dost never depart, O God, my Father supremely good, Beauty of all things beautiful. To Thee will I intrust whatsoever I have received from Thee, so shall I lose nothing. Thou madest me for Thyself, and my heart is restless until it reposes in Thee. Amen.
