By Colleen Hammond, in Catholic Church | 6 Responses 6 Comments

Pop Culture debases sex and treats it as nothing more than another form of pleasure. World Youth Day is an opportunity for faithful Catholics to set the record straight through such efforts as realcatholictv.com’s NO BULL IN MADRID.

Do We REALLY Need to Meditate? What is the Difference Between a Life WITH Meditation and a Life WITHOUT Meditation?

Do We REALLY Need to Meditate? What is the Difference Between a Life WITH Meditation and a Life WITHOUT Meditation?

By Colleen Hammond, in Meditations | Leave a response Leave a response

We will meditate today: First, upon the excellence of the interior life; and, in order that we may understand it, we will compare it with the exterior life, which is the life of the world. Second, we shall see that it raises the Christian to the height of the divine life in Jesus Christ. We will then make the resolution: first, to avoid all that dissipates us, or to which we have an attachment, such as certain kinds of society and certain conversations; second, to enter into the spirit of Christ by often asking ourselves: Is it thus that Jesus Christ would speak or act? Is this the spirit or the intention which would direct His words or His acts? Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of St. John: “God Hath sent His only begotten Son into the world that we may live by Him.” (1 John 4:9)

Meditation for the Morning

Let us adore God teaching us by the mouth of St. Paul that the whole of religion consists in love, and that love is the secret of doing all things well (Rom. 13:10). Let us thank Him for so kind and precious a lesson.

Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation

By Colleen Hammond, in Catholic Church, Devotions, Meditations, Novena, Prayers | Leave a response Leave a response

Summary of Tomorrow’s Meditation

We will consider tomorrow in our meditation that to love is the means for doing all things well: First, because love inspires us with the desire and the will to do so; Second, because it gives us courage; Third, because it enables us to find joy and merit in it. Our resolution shall be: First, to perform everything through love, saying joyfully to God whilst performing each one of our actions: All for Thy love, all to please Thee, O my God! Second, to excite ourselves to what is most perfect through the thought that that is what is most agreeable to God Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of St. Augustine: “Do that with which love inspires you.”
