Saint of the Day

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
As a child, Margaret was devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. After being miraculously cured from paralysis by Our Lady, she entered a convent where she was known for her obedience, humility, and love of suffering. She regularly had visions of Christ, who told her that she was to be the apostle of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She established the custom of receiving Holy Communion on the first Friday of each month.

Reflections from the Saints

One just soul can attain pardon for a thousand sinners.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2446

St. John Chrysostom vigorously recalls this: "Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs." "The demands of justice must be satisfied first of all; that which is already due in justice is not to be offered as a gift of charity".
