Saint Audrey (Etheldreda)
640-679
Feast Day: June 23
Patronage: Cambridge University, neck and throat ailments, and widows
Saint Audrey was an English princess, who took a vow of perpetual virginity at an early age, even though she consented to be married two times for diplomatic reasons. Her first husband died after 3 years and the 2nd husband (Egfrid) was a boy when they married. After 12 years, Egfrid wanted to consummate the marriage. The bishop of York, St.Wilfrid, upheld Audrey’s claim of virginity and helped her separate from him. The marriage was annulled, and Audrey took the veil at the Monastery of Ely. She eventually died of an enormous and unsightly tumor on her neck, which she gratefully accepted as Divine retribution for all the necklaces she had worn in her early years. Her hand is incorrupt to this day.

Repost via @archtoronto Today, we celebrate the Memorial of the #BlessedVirginMary, Mother of the Church. Pope Francis wishes to promote this devotion to "encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the Church in the pastors, religious and faithful, as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety."

Praying with Mama T’s words as we enter into Valentine’s week and asking God to make me a vessel of love, poured out to those I encounter and in all that I do. #valentinesday2019 #saintquotes #motherteresa https://www.instagram.com/p/BtuF-YJnpem/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xuo2jkete2vh
The Thursday before Good Friday, referred to as Maundy Thursday, commemorates the Last Supper Jesus celebrated with the Apostles. On this day Jesus also goes to the garden of Gethsemane to pray to the Father.
Then he said to them, “My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me.” He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will.” Mark 14: 34-36

You are blessed to have a heart that is full of love. And because of that, it’s easy for you to realize if there isn’t one. That is where you are needed. That love inside you should be shared, so others would be filled. From there, love will flows.
Happy feast of Saint Benedict! "Prayer and work" seems especially fitting for today's society, with life being so hectic and the increasing need for integration of our faith identity into our everyday life. Saint Benedict, pray for us! ✨ #stbenedict #benedictine #saintquotes #catholic #perthcatholic #catholicperth #qotd #life #faith #oraetlabora #prayerandwork #catholicworker #saintbenedict #christian #prayer #respectlife #sunset #beach #perthisokay #typography #text
Part 1: Hope in God-Creator 5. "God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission-- I never may know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. Somehow I am necessary for His purposes, as necessary in my place as an Archangel in his-- if, indeed, I fail, He can raise another, as He could make the stones children of Abraham. Yet I have a part in this great work: I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good, I shall do His work; I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, if I do but keep His commandments and serve Him in my calling. " From Meditations and Devotions by now Saint John Henry Newman. Amen! Glory to God for this beloved new Saint! His writings seem to draw you up toward the Heavens! I recommend this little book for adoration or just daily meditation. ❤🙏❤ #stjohnhenrynewman #johnhenrynewman #meditations #devotions #ianker #paulistpress #catholic #saints #convert #stjohnnewman #english #johnnewman #stnewman #saintquotes #catholicvault @paulistpress (at One Voice for Jesus Ministries) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4N4TBPlVni/?igshid=1iifn8s60my9s
