Feast of St. Gregory the Great

The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection. - St. Gregory the Great
       As  much as we look in mirrors, looking into Scriptures would be more revealing and help us look the way we should want, as men & women of faith and virtue.

The proof of love is in the works. -St. Gregory the Great
       We should all fear the fact that is far easier to talk of love, to muse on love and think of love rather than act on love. While our works may not save us, they certainly have the power to damn us. All we are hoping to do is make a meager return to the Lord. In some way to grow in love so that we might one day behold His glory without the terror & dread that sin will create if it abides in us.

On a personal note, Happy Birthday Dad!  A big 84 if you were still with us.
