Regnum Christi is doing a consecration to Mary on May 31, and somebody made these awesome images to promote it. #cantnotshare

These are beautiful.

“

G.K. Chesterton once said that the saint is the one who knows he’s a sinner. Another way to state the same thing: The holy person has no illusions about herself. It is an extraordinary and surprising phenomenon that the saints seem to be those who are most conscious of their sinfulness. Even a cursory reading of Saints Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, Augustine, or Thérèse of Lisieux reveals that these undoubtedly holy people were painfully aware of how much they fell short of sanctity.

At times we are tempted to think that this is a form of attention-getting false humility, but then we realize that it is proximity to the light that reveals the smudges and imperfections that otherwise go undetected. A windshield that appears perfectly clean and transparent in the early morning can become opaque when the sun shines directly on it. Standing close to the luminosity of God, the holy person is more intensely exposed, his beauty and his ugliness more thoroughly unveiled.

(54) What are angels?

Angels are pure spiritual creatures of God who have understanding and will. They have no bodies, cannot die, and are usually not visible. They live constantly in God’s presence and convey God’s will and God’s protection to men. [328-333, 350-351]

Buddy Christ is Not My God

“Although God made us in his image, it is a constant temptation for us to remake God in our own- to “humanize” God as our buddy, copilot, or comrade. God does not have to be patronized to be accessible. He already sent his Son to show us his face and his personality, and to teach us how to pray. When the Scriptures speak of the fear of God, they do not mean that God is scary but that he deserves the respect of his creatures. Do not yield to the temptation to diminish God, shrinking him to human size. Instead, grow in him, and you will be a bigger person”
