On Mary as Queen

The whole multitude of the angels is gathered together to see their Queen at the right of the Lord of hosts, in gilded vesture, in her ever Immaculate body.  
(St. Peter Damian)

Growth In Prayer

"Generosity towards others upon leaving prayer, a soul turned humbly and charitably towards others, a tendency to self-effacement, these are among the reliable signs of graces given during prayer."
(Fr. Donald Haggerty-Contemplative Provocations, p.109)

Jesus-Son of God-Divine Energy

"Jesus is not simply a teacher whose words we savor. He is an energy, a life-force in whom we participate. We are not simply his disciples, we are members of his mystical Body. Consequently, the Eucharist is not simply a symbol. It is the means by which Christ's life becomes our own."
(Fr. Robert Barron- Magnificat article)

Grace Flowing From the Liturgy

The next time you are at Mass imagine grace flowing over you, in you and through you. A good image.

"From the liturgy, and especially from the Eucharist, as from a font, grace is poured forth upon us."
Second Vatican Council (CSL, 10)

On Becoming A Saint

"To be Saints is not a privilege for the few, But a vocation for everyone."
Pope Francis

Clarity Through Love

Do we therefore suppose that we have understood? It is not argument which makes us understand these things, but sanctity; if indeed what is incomprehensible can be in any way understood."
St. Bernard

I would humbly add that through love much can be understood, more clarity comes with love of God.
