•Pray the Rosary and offer your Masses this weekend for the Soul of Bishop Williamson•

Today is Candlemas, end of the Christmas season:
"The angel-lights of Christmas morn,
Which shot across the sky,
Away they pass at Candlemas,
They sparkle and they die.
Comfort of earth is brief at best,
Although it be divine;
Like funeral lights for Christmas gone,
Old Simeon' s tapers shine.
And then for eight long weeks and more,
We wait in twilight grey,
Till the High Candle sheds a beam
On Holy Saturday.
We wait along the penance-tide
Of solemn fast and prayer,
Whilst song is hushed, and lights grow dim,
In the sin-laden air.
And while the sword in Mary's soul
Is driven home, we hide
In our own hearts, and count the wounds
Of passion and of pride.
And still, though Candlemas be spent
And alleluias o'er,
Mary is music in our need.
And Jesus light in store."

•Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow,
For babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow,
So quiet down cobwebs and dust go to sleep I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep•

•A righteous wife is wealth to the house and salvation to the husband•

"When did God's love for you begin? When He began to be God. When did He begin to be God? Never, for He has always been without beginning and with­out end, and so He has always loved you from all eternity."
-St. Francis de Sales (from the Introduction to the Devout Life)

•Everybody wants a revolution
but nobody wants to do the dishes•

Happy St. Valentine's Day!❤️ Novena to St. Valentine O holy Martyr, St. Valentine, pray for the Faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven. Antiphon: This Saint fought, even unto death, for the law of his God, and feared not the words of the wicked; for he was set upon a firm rock.
Let us pray: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father

•WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE?
IT HAS THE HANDS TO HELP OTHERS.
IT HAS THE FEET TO HASTEN TO THE POOR AND NEEDY.
IT HAS EYES TO SEE MISERY AND WANT.
IT HAS THE EARS TO HEAR THE SIGHS AND SORROWS OF MEN
THAT IS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE.
