How happy and wise are those who try now to become

How happy and wise are those who try now to become what they would want to be at the hour of death.
A perfect contempt of the world, an ardent desire to progress in virtue, a love of discipline, a prompt obedience, a denial of self and a patient bearing of all adversities for the love of Christ will give you great confidence of dying happily.
Strive to do good deeds while you are well, for when you are sick you do not know what you will be able to do.
Sickness does not often change us for the better.
Also, few are sanctified by making many pilgrimages.

In the morning think that you may not live till night; and when night comes, do not be sure that you will live till tomorrow. Therefore always be ready, and so live that you will not have an unprovided death.
Many have died suddenly and without warning: for the Son of Man will come at an hour when you least expect Him (Luke 12:40). When the hour of death comes, you will begin to think differently about your past life and great will be your sorrow then that you have been so negligent and lazy in God's service.

What good is a long life if we do not use it to ad

What good is a long life if we do not use it to advance spiritually?
Sad to say, it often happens that a long life adds to our guilt and not to our amendment.
If only we could point to one
day in our life that was really well spent!
Many count the years of their conversion, but often there is little to show for it.
If it is frightening to die, it may be more dangerous to live long.
You are truly blessed if you keep the hour of your death before you and prepare yourself for it.
If you ever saw anyone die, remember that you too must travel the same path.

The hour of death will soon come for you.
See to it that you spend your time here well.
There is a common saying that human beings are here today and gone tomorrow.
And once they are out of sight, they are soon forgotten.
How dull we are and hard of heart, for we think only of the present and make little provision for the life hereafter!
If you were wise, you would so order your life as though you were to die before the day is over.
If your conscience were clear, you would not be afraid of death.
Better to give up sin than to fear death.
If you are unprepared to face death today, how will you be tomorrow?
Tomorrow is uncertain and you may not be here to see it.

The harsh reality of being a priest. A challenge for all to remain in a state of grace and not have his soul stained with sin.

'Do you wish to know if the people of any place are righteous? Look what sort of a pastor they have. If you find him pious, just, [and] sound, believe the people will be the same, for they are seasoned with his wisdom.' St John Chrystostom.

Why do Catholics abstain from meat on Fridays? Why do Catholics eat fish on Fridays? Benjamin Albanese, a seminarian in the Diocese of Raleigh, tells us all about the tradition of abstaining from meat on Friday, and reminds us all that as Catholics, we are called to do penance and abstinence every single Friday!

St Bernardine of Siena says that "the Transubstantiation of the bread requires as much power as the creation of the world." To quote Spiderman's Uncle Ben: "With great power comes great responsibility." Isn't that yet another reason why we should pray for priests? They must be responsible of this power by not misusing it in any way, and by making sure that they are always in a state of grace, so they can use those powers.

The St Ann Youth Group cordially invites you all t

The St Ann Youth Group cordially invites you all to a Movie Night at St Ann! We will be showing the movie "Unplanned" @unplannedmovie , the true story of Abby Johnson @prolifeabbyjohnson and how she escaped from the terrors of Planned Parenthood and became one of the most influential pro-life speakers of the past years. The movie will be shown on Friday, January 10th, and will begin at 6:30 PM in the parish center. Food sales will be available, benefiting the St Ann Youth Group. Talks given by influential pro-life speakers will conclude the event. We hope to see you there! • Note: This movie is rated R, so children under 17 years of age are required to be accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian. A waiver will be provided for parents to sign if their underage child will be viewing the film. This film is rated R not so much from graphic content or foul language, but because of the topic that is discussed.

If you're not Catholic, please don't make claims about the Catholic faith if you don't know what you're talking about, and you've heard something from a second-hand source who isn't Catholic either.
FELLOW CATHOLICS: We can be guilty of this as well. Study what you will be commenting on before you say things about other religions! Be respectfully against them, instead of beating them into the dirt with un-Christ-like hate.
