Saint of the Day

St. Henry II (972-1024)
Henry was educated for the priesthood, but was elected the Holy Roman Emperor and crowned at Rome. He made needed reforms in monasteries and strengthened the various ecclesiastical sees of his kingdom, built churches and monasteries, and ruled wisely, tempering justice with mercy.

Reflections from the Saints

Love is the fusion of two souls in one in order to bring about mutual perfection.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2335

Each of the two sexes is an image of the power and tenderness of God, with equal dignity though in a different way. The union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating in the flesh the Creator's generosity and fecundity: "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh." All human generations proceed from this union.
