I desire to sanctify every beat of my heart, my every thought, my simplest works, by uniting them to Its infinite merits; and I wish to make reparation for my sins by casting them into the furnace of Its merciful love. O my God, I ask of You for myself and for those whom I hold dear the grace to know You, and to know and fulfill perfectly Your holy will, to accept for love of You the joys and sorrows of this passing life, so that we may one day be united together in Heaven for all eternity. Amen.

Feed on this Bread of the Angels from which you will draw the strength to fight inner struggles."Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati > > “Holy Scripture will be your bedside book. It is in this that you will be illuminated by the Word. It is the nourishment of choice. Read this with a humble heart—as when you receive Communion—with the same end: to find God. Taste Him, savor Him, verse by verse, as He finds Himself in your atmosphere of prayer. Every word dictated by God is full of Himself. Adore Him beneath the words. You will taste the inebriation of this communion with the Light, to the Word that God uttered in time, by words of eternal resonance. It is there that you will acquire the knowledge of the saints, with other knowledge accumulating to very little.”— An Anonymous Carthusian Monk > [!abstract]- Divine Intimacy Meditation > [[230-the-immutability-and-eternity-of-god|Meditation #230, The Immutability and Eternity of God - O God, grant that my life on earth may be a continual preparation for the eternity which awaits me]] ## 🏛️ Saint of the Day: Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati > [!info]+ The Cloud of Witnesses > > > Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (1901-1925) was born in Turin, Italy, to a wealthy and prominent family. He was a vibrant, joyful, and athletic youth with an adventurous spirit and a strong zest for life. He loved mountain climbing, the theater, opera, and literature. He also had a deep spiritual life and a strong devotion to the Holy Eucharist and the Virgin Mary, even while his piety provoked criticism from his parents. He challenged his friends to a life of virtue, leading them in spiritual exercises such as daily Mass and the rosary. He joined the St. Vincent de Paul Society in 1918 and became a Lay Dominican in 1922. He was also politically active in resisting fascism and communism; he took part in public demonstrations and joined religious-political organizations such as the Catholic Students Federation and Catholic Action. He also spent much time caring for the sick and poor to a heroic degree, yet his parents punished him when they caught him giving away his money and possessions. While ministering to the sick he contracted polio and died just six days later at the age of 24. His family, thinking he suffered from a mild sickness, did not realize the seriousness of his condition until it was too late. At his funeral his parents were shocked to find thousands of the city's poor, whom their son had helped in some way, arrive to pay their respects. Pope St. John Paul II called Pier Giorgio Frassati a "man of the beatitudes" at his beatification in 1990. His feast day is July 4th. ## 🕯️ Monthly Devotion: Month of The Precious Blood > [!attention]- Focus: Month of The Precious Blood > > > “Prayer to the Precious Blood” written by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton:LordJesus, by faith in Your merits, I now take Your Precious Blood and sprinkle it over myself and my family right from the crown of my head to the very soles of my feet.

Amen. ## 🙏 Daily Prayers > [!todo]- Daily Prayers > **Spiritual Communion:** My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most Blessed Sacrament.
