the earth, the light of the world, the clocks of God. When they stop
running and working this insubstantial world, this passing universe,
will end.
All saints are made at the foot of the Cross. Here they first learn the
lessons of faith, the essential of sainthood; they become redeemed sons

In a world like ours that is not an easy thing to do. It is so easy to become proud, envious, to forget the little things which are really the great things. It is necessary for the little saints to seek again and again the company of Him who was meek and lowly of heart, who loved the people of the world who seemed to matter so little to the world, but who are His very own, the stars in His crown, and the glory of His Church.

All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - Those who faithfully bear the Cross her will wear the Crown there.
