Saint Joseph



Saint Mary Magdalene, Saint Peter in Chains Cathedral


Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

O my soul, how is it that thou dost not surrender thyself to such great love?  How, believing this, canst thou love aught else than Jesus?  Come!  cast thyself at the feet of thy Saviour in his agony, and say to him, My dear Redeemer, how is it that thou couldst love one who had so offended thee?  How couldst thou suffer death for me, seeing my ingratitude?  Make me, I pray thee, partaker of of this sorrow which thou didst feel in the garden.  - Saint Alphonsus de Liguori
