<P>;As for me, Id begun my reading about the torments of the damned seen by Saint Frances of Rome; it makes me tremble. I dont like this kind of reading material, but it can be very beneficial.

She describes the punishments for various sins such as perverts, usurers, blasphemers, traitors, murderers, apostates, schismatics, incestuous people, witches and more. She also talks about the particular torments due to the seven deadly sins and the punishments for theft, dishonoring parents, breaking vows of chastity and selling daughters into prostitution.</P><P>In addition to these visions of hell, Saint Frances also shares her visions of purgatory and heaven.

<p>Lord, I acknowledge Your Word as the science of salvation and the Heart of the Word as the source of all heavenly light. I submit my intellect to Your truths, which You teach through Your Church to dispel the shadows of my sin and ignorance. Let the beam radiating from Your face imprint Your divine character upon my soul, guiding me in the way of perfect service and intellectual clarity.</p>
<p>Grant me the knowledge necessary to love You perfectly, drawing from the same light that was infused into the soul of Jesus at the moment of his Incarnation.

May I remain faithful to the Tradition of the Church, avoiding the snares of private judgment and the fantasies of the world.</p>

<p><b>Matthew 20:17-28</b></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><i><sup>17</sup>And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:&nbsp;</i><i><sup>18</sup>Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>19</sup>And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked, and scourged, and crucified, and the third day he shall rise again.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>20</sup>Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>21</sup>Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>22</sup>And Jesus answering, said: You know not what you ask. Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink? They say to him: We can.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>23</sup>He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>24</sup>And the ten hearing it, were moved with indignation against the two brethren.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>25</sup>But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are the greater, exercise power upon them.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>26</sup>It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister:&nbsp;</i><i><sup>27</sup>And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.&nbsp;</i><i><sup>28</sup>Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption for many.</i></p>

									<p><b>St. John Eudes </b>stands by the belief that the light of faith is a participation in the truth. He differentiates “human science” from “penetrating God’s shadows”. The Gospel “<i>Cup of Christ</i>” is the narrative of suffering for love. St. John Eudes famously said, “<i>Faith lets you know that everything in Jesus… is infinitely great.</i>” He lived the narrative of the indwelling. We often separate “theology” (the light) from “devotion” (the fire). Eudes reminds us that “<i>faith makes you know Him as He is… all goodness and gentleness</i>“. The spiritual paper cuts of religious dryness are healed when we open our doors to the <b>Holy Spirit</b>. We must remain with the holy <b>Catholic Church</b> to keep this light burning.</p>								</div>

August 19: Faith and the Heart of Jesus

In this book, St. Ildephonsus of Toledo provides a powerful, imaginative, and lyrical set of meditations on the Immaculate Mother of God, reflecting on her splendor, beauty, and sanctity.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> This publication is the first translation into English of a Latin work, entitled <I>Libellus de Corona Virginis</I>, or &ldquo;The Little Book on the Crown of the Virgin.&rdquo; Traditionally, it has been ascribed to St. Ildephonsus of Toledo, a great monk, abbot, and bishop of the 7th century. St. Ildephonsus contributed powerfully to the dissemination of the doctrine of the Perpetual Virginity of Our Lady in Western Europe, and to the popularization of fervent Marian devotion in Spain. In this beautiful, moving and ornate literary portrait, the author imaginatively and lyrically fashions a magnificent crown for the Blessed Virgin Mary, decorated with twelve radiant jewels, six brilliant stars, and six fragrant flower blossoms. Each of these is interpreted as representing a particular aspect of the beauty, beneficence, virtue, or sanctity of the Blessed Virgin.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> A perfect companion for guiding daily devotion to the Mother of Mercy and the Queen of Heaven, each chapter reveals a new and scintillating glimpse into the glories of Mary, sure to inspire the heart of the reader with ever more ardent devotion to the Mother of God, the vessel of all graces and the paradigm and perfection of every virtue. As a guide to meditation and a catalyst for prayer, the <I>Crown of the Virgin</I> is an illuminating mirror of the beauty and splendor of the one who is herself the refulgent and immaculate image of her Divine Son.<BR /> &#160;

<p>&ldquo;Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.&rdquo; With these words from Matthew 5:48, Christ calls every Christian beyond ordinary virtue and into the transforming life of divine charity. One of the greatest signs of this holiness is the willingness to pray, sacrifice, and make reparation not only for oneself, but also for sinners, persecutors, and those who offend God.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A Year of Reparations: 365 Days of Penance and Prayer</strong>&nbsp;provides a complete year-long spiritual program designed to immerse the soul in this essential work of salvation. Through 365 prayers of reparation, fifty-two examples of saints who offered their lives for sinners, and practical spiritual exercises inspired by the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face of Jesus, Fr. Lawrence Carney III offers readers a disciplined path toward greater holiness, penance, and sacrificial love.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drawing from the Church's theology of atonement, propitiation, vicarious satisfaction, and penance, this comprehensive volume explains both why reparation is necessary and how Catholics can practice it faithfully. It also explores the great devotions associated with reparation&mdash;including the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the Holy Face of Jesus&mdash;helping readers transform prayer, fasting, suffering, and works of mercy into offerings for the salvation of souls.</p>
