Saint of the Day

St. George (4th century)
George was a soldier and martyr. He gave all he had to he poor. He is best known for the Golden Legend – slaying a dragon. In the 15th century his feast day was as popular as Christmas.

Reflections from the Saints

A man who fails to love the Mass fails to love Christ. We must make an effort to "live" the Mass with calm and serenity, with devotion and affection. And this is why I have always suspected that those who want the Mass to be over with quickly show, with this insensitive attitude, that they have not yet realized what the sacrifice of the altar means.
