Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta's Examination of Conscience
AN EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE by Blessed Mother Teresa
"You need only ask at night before you go to bed, "What did I do to Jesus today? What did I do for Jesus today? What did I do with Jesus today?" You have only to look at your hands. This is the best examination of conscience."
++ Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

"The fruit of SILENCE is PRAYER
the fruit of PRAYER is FAITH
the fruit of FAITH is LOVE
the fruit of LOVE is SERVICE
the fruit of SERVICE is PEACE."
~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Thoughts for March 4, 2010
Life in Christ: Catechism #2156
The sacrament of Baptism is conferred "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." In Baptism, the Lord's name sanctifies man, and the Christian receives his name in the Church. This can be the name of a saint, that is, of a disciple who has lived a life of exemplary fidelity to the Lord. The patron saint provides a model of charity; we are assured of his intercession. The "baptismal name" can also express a Christian mystery or Christian virtue. "Parents, sponsors, and the pastor are to see that a name is not given which is foreign to Christian sentiment."
Readings: March 4
| I: | Jeremiah 17:5-10 |
| Rs: | Psalm 1:1-4,6 |
| G: | Luke 16:19-31 |
One Minute Meditations
You Can!By yourself, if you don't count on grace, you can do nothing worthwhile, for you would be cutting the link which connects you with God.
With grace, on the other hand, you can do all things.
– St. Josemaria Escriva, The Forge, #321
Reflections from the Saints
Whoever wishes to carry the cross for his sake must take up the proper weapons for the contest, especially those mentioned here. First, diligence; second, distrust of self; third, confidence in God; fourth, remembrance of Passion; fifth, mindfulness of one's own death; sixth, remembrance of God's glory; seventh, the injunctions of Sacred Scripture following the example of Jesus Christ in the desert.– St. Catherine of Bologna
Saint of the Day
St. Casimir (1458-1484)Casimir was a grand-duke of Lithuania. He lived an ascetic life and remained celibate, despite pressure to marry. Elected King of Hungary, he refused to exercise the power. He lived a virtuous life amidst a sinful court.
Scripture Verse of the Day
Galatians 1:10
For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Garrison Keiler shows his colors and they ain't pretty... not at all...
I just have to say, that I did not like or trust Garrison Keiller in the 1980's and
I like him even less now. I just read this article and I can still feel my blood
boiling. I am looking forward to going to confession 28 hours from now. I really need it.
Taking deep, deep breaths. I will pray for Garrison Keiller. I will.
We are supposed to pray for our enemies, so I will be praying for him.
