"Why do you increase your bonds? Take hold of your life before your light grows dark and you seek help and do not find it. This life has been given to you for repentance; do not waste it in vain pursuits."

-St. Isaac the Syrian

-St. Isaac the Syrian

Paschal Troparion in Different Languages

“Let us love silence till the world is made to die in our hearts. Let us always remember death, and in this thought draw near to God in our heart — and the pleasures of this world will have our scorn.”

-St. Isaac the Syrian

Happy Feast of Corpus Christi

I was blessed to attend a Solemn High Mass with Procession in the Traditional Norbertine Rite.

It was glorious!

Trinity Sunday

"Quicúmque vult salvus esse, * ante ómnia opus est, ut téneat cathólicam fidem:
Quam nisi quisque íntegram inviolatámque serváverit, * absque dúbio in ætérnum períbit."

"Whosoever willeth to be saved, * before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic faith.
Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled, * without doubt he shall perish eternally."

-From the Athanasius Creed
