Bl Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), Virgin; Westphalia, Germany

"Mass badly celebrated is an enormous evil.  Ah! it is not a matter of indifference how it is said!...I have had a great vision on the mystery of Holy Mass and I have seen that whatever good has existed since creation is owing to it."

St Bernard (1090-1153), Confessor, Doctor of the Church; Fontaines, France; Feast day August 20th

"He who devotes himself overmuch to the delights of the world does not deserve those of the Holy Spirit."
