“If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.”

“Keep a clear eye toward life’s end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God’s creature. What you are in his sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing that you have received…but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage.” -St. Francis of Assisi #CatholicConnect

St. Clare of Assisi in meditation Léon François Bénouville—1854

“No friend of what is called the emancipation of women will regret the revolt of St. Clare. She did most truly, in the modern jargon, live her own life, the life that she herself wanted to lead, as distinct from the life into which parental commands and conventional arrangements would have forced her. She became the foundress of a great feminine movement which still profoundly affects the world; and her place is with the powerful women of history.”

...G.K. Chesterton, Saint Francis of Assisi

Feast of All Souls

In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and

hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption

of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And

the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden

or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their

alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their

swim, young men the training for their profession, future

commanders their first campaign–that is, as an endurable

submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a

blissful immortality.

… St. Hilary (ca. 300-367?), On the Trinity
