14th Sunday After Pentecost

Today's the 14th Sunday after Pentecost :)

From the Introit of the Mass of today:

Behold, O God, our protector, and look on the face of thy Christ:, for better is one day, in thy courts above thousands. How lovely are thy taber­nacles, O Lord of hosts! My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. (Ps. LXXXIII.) Gloria Patri etc.

From the Collect of the Mass of today:

Favour Thy Church unceasingly, O Lord, we beseech Thee, and keep her safe: and because apart from Thee frail man is wont to fall, may she by Thy help be ever withdrawn from harm and guided in good. Through our Lord.

From the Offertory of the Mass of today: Ps. 33:8-9

The Angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear Him, and shall deliver them: O taste and see that the Lord is sweet!

Oh how beautiful! :)

The Compassionate Heart of Jesus

O my Jesus, Thou dost pardon the penitent sinners, and dost not refuse in this world to give them everything in Holy Communion during their life, and everything in the other world, even in heaven, with eternal glory, without retaining the slightest repugnance towards being united to the soul that has offended Thee, for all eternity. Where, then, is there to be found a heart so amiable and compassionate as Thine, O my dearest Saviour?

O compassionate Heart of my Jesus, have pity on me: O most Sweet Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on me!

Happy Birthday, my dearest Sister! :) Denise Elizabeth Therese!

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee; Save Souls!

Jesu mitis et humilis corde, Fac cor nostrum secundum Cor tuum. (ter)
