« Mais sur cette terre déjà, dans la prière, dans les Sacrements, dans la fraternité, nous rencontrons Jésus et son amour, et ainsi, nous pouvons avoir un avant-goût de la vie ressuscitée » (François) https://www.saintvincentdepaul-saintmalo.fr/pages/messes-st-preparation/messe-des-dimanches/textes-du-jour-notre-dame-d-alet.html #Résurrection #dieudesvivants #mort #prières #Dieu #JésusChrist #bible #Evangile #EvangileDuJour #Textesdujour #saparolepouraujourdhui #Psaumes #psaume9a #livredesmaccabées #evangiledejésuschristselonsaintluc

« Jésus-Christ est le seigneur et propriétaire du Venezuela » : Nicolás Maduro, de plus en plus isolé, s’en remet au sacré pour tenter de se légitimer

Quote of the day, 19 November: St. Raphael Kalinowski

Just as there is nothing greater than God, says Saint Thomas, so none can attain a higher dignity than the Mother of God. Mary, with her Maternity, is like a book in which the world can read the Eternal Word, Jesus, the Lord.

What can one say of the fullness of grace God bestowed on the Most Holy Virgin, to the limits of his power, giving her a dignity surpassing our capacity to understand? When a wise man was asked, “Who is God?” he answered, “If I could define who God is, either God would not exist or I myself would be God.”

Likewise, to the question “What is it to be the Mother of God?” one can only give a similar answer. “If anyone could comprehend this dignity, either Mary would not be the Mother of God, or the one claiming to understand such greatness would be superior to her whose dignity is immeasurable.”
