Evening Meditations for Septuagesima Sunday ~ Alphonsus Liguori
In your desolation, and when creatures are unable to comfort you, have recourse to your Creator and say to Him: “Lord, men have only words for me.” My friends are full of words! Verbosi amici mei! (Job xvi. 21). They cannot comfort me; neither do I desire to be comforted by them: Thou art all my hope, all my love. Do Thou help me.” Your God loves you more than you can love yourself, what, then, should you fear? O thou of little faith why didst thou doubt? (Matt. xiv. 31).

You have it in your power to secure the immense and eternal goods of Paradise, and you lose your time in procuring the miserable goods of this earth, which shall end at death.
Morning Meditation for Septuagesima Sunday ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
The Lord’s vines are our souls which He has given us to cultivate by good works that one day we may be admitted into eternal glory. Many live as if they were never to die, or as if they had not to give to God an account of their lives, as if there were no Heaven and no hell.
