ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST CATHOLIC CHURCH: From Father George’s Homilies

Announcements

St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church recently issued the following announcement. 

St. John Chrysostom’s five paths of repentance: 

1. Be the first to admit your sins and you will be justified. 

2. Put out of our minds the harm done us by our enemies,  in order to master our anger, and to forgive our fellow  servants’ sins against us. 

3. Prayer that is fervent, careful and comes from the  heart. 

4. Practice generosity/almsgiving, whose power is great  and far-reaching. 

5. If, moreover, a man lives a modest, humble life, that,  no less than the other things I have mentioned, takes  sin away. Proof of this is the tax-collector who had no  good deeds to mention, but offered his humility in  stead and was relieved of a heavy burden of sins.

Quotes attributed to St. Therese of Lisieux:

 “It is better to leave each one in his own opinion than to  enter into arguments.” 

“Why should we defend ourselves when we are  misunderstood and misjudged? Let us leave that  aside. Let us not say anything. It is so sweet to let  others judge us in any way they like. O blessed  silence, which gives so much peace to the soul!”  “Let us not be justices of the peace, but angels of peace.“ 

“I know now that true charity consists in bearing all our  neighbors’ defects--not being surprised at their  weakness, but edified at their smallest virtues.”  ― St. Therese of Lisieux
