St. Ignatius of Loyola - Feast Day

St. Ignatius of Loyola

(1491-1556)

Founder of the Jesuits

If God causes you to suffer much, it is a sign that He has great designs for you, and that He certainly intends to make you a saint. And if you wish to become a great saint, entreat Him yourself to give you much opportunity for suffering; for there is no wood better to kindle the fire of holy love than the wood of the cross, which Christ used for His own great sacrifice of boundless charity. Saint Ignatius Loyola

St. Ignatius of Loyola - pray for us.



Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me. (refresh me)
Water from Christ's side, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee.
From the malicious enemy defend me.
(from the malignant enemy defend me)
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee.
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels forever and ever. Amen.
(That with thy saints I may praise Thee)

Prayer of Reparation

O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore thee profoundly. I offer thee the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of thee the conversion of poor sinners.

Deal Hudson & McCain Issues?

This one is news to me....
McCain resists calls to remove embattled Catholic aide

Why?

"But those who are troubled by Hudson's background say he is more than a volunteer..."

"The groups say Hudson..."

Who are these so-called groups? Give me a break.

The University of Minnesota, meanwhile, is not likely to take any action.

In an interview with CNSNews.com, Daniel Wolter, director of the university’s news service, said that even though the link to Myers’ blog was, “a violation of university web policy,” the only action the university has taken is to remove the link from the university Web page. No disciplinary action is expected.

Jacqueline Johnson, chancellor of the Morris campus, said in a statement Friday that the university “affirms the freedom of a faculty member to speak or write as a public citizen without institutional discipline or restraint.”
