°CATHOLIC FEMININITY°

• If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money•

•In a society that loves to bash men, do not be afraid to go against the grain by speaking well about your husband•

•Beauty vanishes, but character remains. Do not rely on superficial factors. Character, piety, disposition, intelligence, understanding, sympathy and unselfishness are the things which count in creating a happy home and a permanent union. -Father Lovasik•

•Feast of the Most Precious Blood “Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners every where, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen”•

•As God by creation made two of one, so again by marriage He made one of two•

°“The pure in heart shall see God, because they always do His will. Purity does not begin in the body but in the will. From there it flows outward, cleansing thought, imagination, and, finally, the body. Bodily purity is a repercussion or echo of the will. Life is impure only when the will is impure.” ― Venerable Fulton J. Sheen°

•"Each day: Hold back the sarcastic word. Return a kindly answer to a sneer. Seal the lips on the scandal you just heard. It is the motive that matters-this out of love of God.” -Fulton J. Sheen•

Give me, O loving Mother, the desire and the habit always to have recourse to thee trusting that thou wilt be faithful and come to my assistance.
