To all those who insist that God is a woman - I have a sneeking suspicion that Jesus Christ would not agree.

Go where you may, you will find no rest except in humble obedience to the rule of authority. Dreams of happiness expected from change and different places have deceived many.
Everyone, it is true, wishes to do as he pleases and is attracted to those who agree with him. But if God be among us, we must at times give up our opinions for the blessings of peace.

Don't you ever forget to pray for the souls in Purgatory and tell other foliks to pray for them. You'd better, cos you're gonna be one one day.

(or words to that effect)

Henry VIII really was terrible. I blame him for a lot.

also

If the heir to the throne can marry a Muslim or a Hottentot but can't marry a Catholic, that's ridiculous.

Thanks for the link. This interview of the Cardinal is spread across two pages of the Times today and continues the trend of major positive items in the press recently. I think there must be an ongoing PR campaign by his staff and if so it is proving very successful indeed. I would criticise them if the coverage was totally negative so I think I must register my approval of how they've gone about their business.

Trinity

The sea by itself is water merely:
Its miracle is in its beating against the shore,
Spreading out across flat sands,

Shifting shingle and stone,
Flowing over piers and jetties,
Halting before rock

And falling backward on itself to try again,
Leaping high in the storm,
Quietly attacking the very base of land.

And God and God and God are love merely
Until they find foolish us
To take love's overflow.

Padraig J. Daly

Perhaps not really a Holy Quote, but a quote from a holy man, which I'm keen to share and which isn't really a joke.

Fr Timothy Radcliffe in Why Go to Church?
 
In the lavatory of a pub in Oxford I once saw a graffito, written in very small letters, on a corner of the ceiling: "If you have looked this far, you must be looking for something. Why not try Roman Catholicism?"

Pope John XXlll
 
Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.

Pope John XXIII

“Private prayer is like straw scattered here and there: If you set it on fire it makes a lot of little flames. But gather these straws into a bundle and light them, and you get a mighty fire, rising like a column into the sky; public prayer is like that.”

St.John Vianney, Cure d'Ars

I saw a stranger yestere'en
I put food in the eating place,
Drink in the drinking place,
Music in the listening place;
And, in the sacred name of the Triune,
He blessed myself and my house,
my cattle and my dear ones.
And the lark said in her song,
Often, often, often,
Goes the Christ in the stranger's guise.

For they will have

"When we are linked by the power of prayer, we, as it were, hold each other's hand as we walk side-by-side along a slippery path, and thus by the bounteous disposition of charity, it comes about that the harder each one leans on the other, the more firmly we are riveted together in brotherly love." -- St Gregory the Great
