A Treasure Chest of Inspiration Three years ago, The Cenacle Press at Silverstream Priory, republished an incredible book from 1942 titled “Just For Today.” It is a compilation of 365 daily quotations from Saint Therese, matched with excerpts from The Imitation of Christ (which she had thoroughly memorized as a young girl.) The author/compiler is listed as a Benedictine of Stanbrook, Worcester. And, as the Introduction by The Right Reverend Monsignor Ronald Knox says, it is like a string of pearls pulled out of two treasure chests, perfectly matched. Since October 3rd is St Therese’s traditional feast day, I though I should recommend “Just For Today” to the Gloria.tv members. Like many others, I’ve read through The Imitation many times, but the presentation in this book is done with such inspiration, that I find precious gems from The Imitation that I had completely over-looked before. Truly, the most “converting” biography of St. Therese was written by Rev. Canon Thomas N. Taylor;…More

The Catholic Counter Revolution youtube.com/watch?v=mE0pbksbAc4 An excellent lecture and passionate sermon from 2015 to remind us of why we must stand up and join the fight. !Viva Christo Rey!
What a joy that I found this today in Book III Chap 48 Paragraph 6 of The Imitation of Christ, which discusses the scripture from Matthew 6:21 -- "For whatsoever things I love, of the same I willingly speak and hear, and carry home with me the images of them." (atque talium imagines mecum ad domum reporto.) So, the next time I go to the Altar after Mass to have a picture blessed by Father, and my son jokes with me and says, "Where are you going to put it, Mom?" I'll just refer him to the Scriptures and to The Imitation.

St Charbel heals Elias with cancer in Damour, … Many years ago I worked with an engineer who grew up in Syria, and upstairs from his childhood home lived an old Jewish couple who would "read" Turkish coffee grounds for the neighbors. I had a chance to try some Turkish coffee and learn the significance of some of the symbols that appear on the sides and bottom of the little cup. Then, fast forward several years, I was a volunteer at a Cathedral where one of St Charbel's great nieces was also a volunteer. And, she showed me this image of St Charbel in the coffee grounds. She loved it so much, that I developed a great affection for it myself. St Charbel has been so good to so many people. @In Principio posted a picture of the miraculous hand print St Charbel left on a man's arm, and @Instaurare Omnia in Christo posted a link to a fantastic youtube about that miracle youtube.com/watch?v=7UatXxxzk_Y It's an hour long video, and has English subtitles, so to get the story you need to pay …More
