Via Fr. Finigan's blog, I found the text of these excellent talks, given by Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Lancaster.Speaking at a retreat in Ars, for the priests of the Diocese of Northampton, Bishop O' Donoghue offers reflections on the identity, role, spirituality and formation of the priest. Although his talks were given to priests, much of what Bishop O'Donoghue has to say is also instructive to the laity, deepening our understanding of the nature of the Sacred Priesthood.
At the end of the last talk, The Bishop quotes these beautiful words from St John Vianney:
"I love you O my God and my only desire is to love You until the last breath of my life. I love you O my infinitely lovable God, and I would rather die loving you than live without loving you. I love you Lord and the only grace I ask is to love You eternally...My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love You, I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I draw breath. Amen."
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am a servant of God on www.prophecyfilm.com and wish to beg you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to please link to this wonderful site which has free glorious Prophecies & Revelations of Jesus and Mary from Saint Bridget in many languages!
We also have free videos for download on various catholic topics, and maybe hoped that you could tell your visitors and your family and friends! They are a bit further down on the page and are quite interesting. They are extremly good for catholics to strengthen their faith, for protestants to come to the true faith, and for atheists to see the scientific evidence of the Bible that proves God's existance. You are free to copy all our videos on our site www.prophecyfilm.com to your site if you like them. This can draw lots of brothers and sisters to your site. We know by experience. We hope you also read the revelations and watch our videos personally!
Peace and God bless!
