Hyperdulia

The judgments of God have terrified me. The darkness of death has overtaken me: and the fear of hell has invaded me. But in solitude I will expect thy consolation: and in my chamber I will wait for thy mercy. – St Bonaventure, Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Maundy Thursday Mass was absolutely incredible All of the faithful knelt and sang Adoro te devote during the transfer of the Blessed Sacrament, one of my favourite hymns; written by St Thomas himself

Jesus purifies not only our image of God from the idolatry and blasphemy that have distorted it, but also our image of humanity. For we tend to consider ourselves powerful when we dominate, victorious when we destroy our equals, great when we are feared. #HolyThursday vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

“The best perfection of a religious man is to do common things in a perfect manner. A constant fidelity in small things is a great and heroic virtue.” - St Bonaventure

Every Maundy Thursday, the kings of Europe knelt on the floor and washed the feet of the poor The Habsburg Emperor did it The King of Spain did it The practice continued until the early 20th century A king on his knees before a beggar was the entire social order briefly, visibly, inverted Modern politicians give WEF talks about servant leadership

"If anyone says that by these words: 'Do this for a commemoration of me' (Luke 22:19;1 Cor. 11:24), Christ did not make the apostles priests, or did not ordain that they and other priests might offer His own body and blood: let him be anathema." (Council of Trent, see Dz. 949)

Note: St Jerome is not contradicting the Catholic position that life begins at conception Both St Jerome and St Thomas reasoned that a guardian angel is appointed at birth to help with external spiritual battles, the unborn person receives angelic protection from their mothers guardian angel whilst in the womb

“How great is the dignity of souls? That each person has from birth received an angel to protect it.” - St Jerome

After harvest, the poor had the legal right to enter fields and collect what the reapers left behind This wasn't charity, but Leviticus 19:9 codified into British common law You shall not reap your field to its very border The Church made it a moral obligation The manorial system made it an enforceable one Between 1604 and 1914, Parliament passed 5,200 acts that ended it 6.8 million acres of common lands gone

Pray the Rosary every day

“But order comes under the aspect of good, just as mode and species, according to Augustine (De Nat. Boni iii). Since then it belongs to religion to pay due honor to someone, namely, to God, it is evident that religion is a virtue.” Saint Thomas Aquinas (II.II.Q81.A2)

"We pray, therefore, not only for the unwilling, but also for the objecting and resisting. What, then, do we ask, but that from unwilling they may be made willing; from objecting, consenting; from resisting, loving?" — St. Augustine (Contra Pelagianorum IV, 26)

"What good did I bring, that You should have mercy on me and justify me? What did You find in me except only sins? Nothing in me is Yours except the nature You created; the rest are my evils, which You have wiped away." — St. Augustine (In Psalmum 58, Sermo 1:19)

@Catholic_bro Trying to serve others more than I serve myself

What does “taking up your cross daily” actually look like for you?

“Eve was a thorn, wounding, bringing death to all; in Mary we see a rose, soothing everybody’s hurts.” — St. Bernard of Clairvaux
