The Catholic Dogma: Outside the Church There is Positively no Salvation by Rev. Michael Müller (1888) bit.ly/3goXlgQ

"Man's salvation and perfection consists of doing the will of God which he must have in view in all things, and at every moment of his life." - St. Peter Claver

"When you see any one standing in need of your assistance, either for body or soul, do not ask yourself why someone else did not help him, but think to yourself that you have found a treasure." - St. Peter Claver

"To love God as He ought to be loved, we must be detached from all temporal love. We must love nothing but Him, or if we love anything else, we must love it only for His sake." - St. Peter Claver

SS. Protus and Hyacinth (260) Protus and Hyacinth were brothers, and both were chamberlains to St. Eugenia, the daughter of the governor of Egypt. They were scourged, and eventually martyred during the persecution of Emperor Valerian.

"We should avoid complaining about our sufferings to others, or even to ourselves. "To suffer and be silent for You, my God" is the motto of the patient soul who wishes to conform its conduct to that of Jesus: "He was offered . . . and He opened not His mouth" - Fr. Gabriel

St. Nicholas of Tolentino (1310) Listening one day to a sermon on the contempt of the world, he gave up all possessions and entered the Hermits of St. Augustine. He received visions from Purgatory and released many souls from their sufferings through his prayers and penances.

William Bernard Ullathorne (1889)

"Patience is the virtue which permits us to live in a state of suffering, hardship and privation without losing our serenity. It enables us to remain firm amid storms without becoming irritated or despondent" - Fr. Gabriel

"Meekness makes a man master of himself." - St. Thomas Aquinas

Battle of Vienna - September 12, 1683 "Veni, Vidi, Deus Vicit" The King of Poland, Jan III Sobieski, saved Vienna from a large army of Muslims and earned the title, "Savior of Vienna and Western European civilization."

The Most Holy Name of Mary In 1513, Spain was the first to celebrate this feast. In 1683, it was extended to the whole Church by Innocent XI to thank Mary for the victory which Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, had just gained against the Turks who beseiged Vienna.

"When we appeal to the throne of grace, we do so through Mary, honouring God by honouring His Mother, imitating Him by exalting her, touching the most responsive chord in the Sacred Heart of Christ, with the sweet name of Mary." - St. Robert Bellarmine

St. Eulogius (606) While young, he embraced the monastic state. He studied Holy Scriptures and Church tradition, and became a priest and Patriarch of Alexandria. He was a supporter and friend of St. Gregory the Great, and composed many excellent works against diverse heresies.

Fifth Apparition, September 13th, 1917 "Continue to pray the Rosary . . . God is pleased with your sacrifices . . . I will cure some, others not. In October, I will perform a miracle for all to believe." - Our Lady of Fatima

"It is impious to say, "I respect every religion." This is as much as to say: I respect the devil as much as God, vice as much as virtue, falsehood as much as truth, dishonesty as much as honesty, Hell as much as Heaven." - Fr. Michael Müller

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross (629) This feast was instituted in commemoration of the day on which the True Cross was restored to Jerusalem by Heraclius after it was stolen by Chosroes in 614. The Cross was raised and honored by the faithful, and many miracles were wrought.

Choose not the cross for the coming week, For that is more than He bids thee seek. Bend not thine arms for tomorrow's load; Thou may'st leave that to thy gracious God. Daily only He said to thee,  "Take up thy cross and follow Me."

"If you possessed a particle of the true Cross, you would greatly honor and cherish it. But why do you not love and honor that cross, those trials which God sends you? They are a particle of the Cross of Christ most beneficial to you if you bear it patiently" -Fr. Francis Xavier

"Take up therefore, thy cross and follow Jesus and thou shalt go into eternal life. He went before thee bearing His Cross and died for thee upon the Cross, that thou also mayest bear thy cross and mayest love to be crucified upon it." - Thomas a Kempis
