May 28th
Ven. Louis of Granada (1505-1588), Confessor; Granada, Spain

"Drive from your heart the bitterness of hatred and yield to the sweetness of fraternal charity.  Independently of your eternal interests, which impose this duty upon you, there is nothing sweeter than love, and nothing more bitter than hatred, which preys like a cancer on the heart of it s victim, where it was first engendered."

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

"In regard to eating there are four things to be regulated: the time, the manner, the quantity, and the quality.  The time should be limited to the usual hours of our repast; the manner should be free from that eagerness which makes us appear absorbed in what is set before us; the quantity and quality should not exceed what is granted others, except when a condition of health manifestly requires delicacies."
