Evening Meditations for the Nineteenth Tuesday After Pentecost~ St Alphonsus Liguori

The important thing is to embrace the will of God in all things which befall us, not only when they are favourable, but when they are contrary to our desires. When things go on well even sinners find no difficulty in being conformed to the Divine will; but the Saints are in conformity even under circumstances which run counter, and are mortifying, to self-love. It is herein that the perfection of our love for God is shown.

Today’s Saint(s): St Francis Borgia

Saint Francis Borgia, named for Francis of Assisi at his birth in 1510, was placed under the tutelage of his uncle, Archbishop of Saragossa, after the death of his mother when he was ten years old. Soon he had to go to the court of Spain, as he was destined to be one of the great lords of that nation. There he remained Christian, modest and virtuous.

Spiritual Reading for Tuesday – Nineteenth Week After Pentecost

The whole life of Teresa was one continual exercise of the love of God, and a constant study of what might best please her Beloved. Her very life was terminated through the violence of her love, consumed as indeed her heart was in a furnace of Divine Charity.

Morning Meditation for Tuesday – Nineteenth Week after Pentecost ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

The heart of this seraph was so on fire with the love of God that all her thoughts and all her sighs were of Divine love and the good pleasure of God. “Behold what I am always saying,” she writes in her Life, “and it seems to me I say it with all my heart: ‘O Lord, I do not think of self: I wish for nothing but for Thee alone!’ .
