3. A young Dominican writes:

Like St. Augustine of Canterbury, we’re faced today with the demise of a once Christian society. If you’re tempted on occasion to despair in the face of the obstacles posed by secularism, just call on St. Augustine for the grace to have the fortitude of a missionary in preaching the “word of life.”

4. A prayer inspired by that other St. Augustine in the Liturgy of the Hours today.

Late have I loved you,
O beauty ever ancient, ever new,
late have I loved you!
– You called, you shouted,
and you broke through my deafness.

The Son of Man came to seek out the lost
and lead them to salvation.
– You called, you shouted,
and you broke through my deafness.

Invisible Christian? The Church needs you to turn off your "cloaking device" and be counted.

8. From Padre Pio, via Words of Light, a collection from his spiritual letters:

Oh holy souls, free from every anxiety and already enjoying that torrent of sovereign sweetness in heaven, Oh how much I envy your happiness! Alas, for pity’s sake, since you are so close to the fountain of life, since you see me dying of thirst in this world here below, favor me with a little of that freshest of waters.
Ah! Oh holy souls, I confess have I spent my portion very badly, very badly have I guarded the gem of great price. But long live God! I feel that for this fault there is also a remedy. Well, blessed souls, give me some help. Because I am not able to find what my soul needs during rest in the night, I, too, will rise like the spouse in the holy Canticle and seek him who my soul loves: “I will rise now and go about the city; I will seek the Beloved of my soul.” I will always seek him, I will seek him in everything and I will not stop in any, until I find him on the threshold of his Kingdom

10. Fr. Roger Landry:

There’s a huge difference between a general wish to grow in faith and holiness and a plan to cooperate with God’s help to do so.
