Wisdom of the Saints about the Communion of Saints (part 3) Posted on May 2, 2024 Posted By: Sarah Bedia Categories: Front Page, Wisdom of the Saints “I know that many say, ‘What good can prayers do for a soul that has departed this world, either with sins or without sins?’ If a king were to banish certain people who had offended him, but then their families should weave a crown and offer it to him on behalf of those under punishment, would he not grant a remission of their penalties? In the same way, when we offer our supplications for those who have fallen asleep – even if they were sinners – we weave no crown, but offer up Christ sacrificed for our sins, propitiating our merciful God for them and for ourselves.” St. Cyril of Jerusalem (4th century, Doctor of the Church)

“The alarming increase of divorces in our land and the consequent break-up of family life is due principally to the loss of love for the ideal in womanhood. Marriage has become identified with pleasure, not with love. Once the pleasure ceases, love ceases. The woman is loved not for what she is in herself but for what she is to others. The tragedy of such a state is not only what it does for woman, but also what it does to man.” Ven. Fulton Sheen (19th-20th centuries)

Pope St. Pius V was a priest in religious life who became pope during one of the most tumultuous and critical periods in Church history.

“Therefore, rise, run to the Church; here is the Father, here is the Son, here is the Holy Spirit. He Who hears you pondering in the secret places of the mind runs to you. And when you are still far off, He sees you and runs to you. He sees in your heart, He runs, lest someone hinder, and also embraces you. His foreknowledge is in the running, His mercy in the embrace, and, as it were, the disposition of Fatherly love. He falls on your neck in order to raise one prostrate and burdened with sins and bring back one turned aside to the earthly toward heaven, in which he seeks his own Author. Christ falls on your neck to free your nape from the yoke of slavery and hang His sweet yoke upon your shoulders.” St. Ambrose (4th century, Doctor of the Church)
