Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 02 2006
Date: December 1, 2006 08:53 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Cyprian:

"We ought never to forget, beloved, that we have renounced the world...
What man, stationed in a foreign land, would not want to return to his own
country as soon as possible? Well, we look upon paradise as our country,
and a great crowd of our loved ones awaits us there, a countless throng of
parents, brothers and children longs for us to join them. Assured though
they are of their own salvation, they are still concerned about ours. What
joy both for them and for us to see one another and embrace! O the delight
of that heavenly kingdom where there is no fear of death! O the supreme
and endless bliss of everlasting life! There, is the glorious band of
apostles, there the exultant assembly of prophets, there the innumerable
host of martyrs, crowned for their glorious victory in combat and in
death. There in triumph are the virgins who subdued their passions by the
strength of continence. There the merciful are rewarded, those who
fulfilled the demands of justice by providing for the poor. In obedience
to the Lord’s command, they turned their earthly patrimony into heavenly
treasure. My dear brothers, let all our longing be to join them as soon as
we may. May God see our desire, may Christ see this resolve that springs
from faith, for He will give the rewards of His love more abundantly to
those who have longed for Him more fervently." (From a Treatise on
Mortality [Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
