St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples, saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice” (Matthew 23: 1-3).

Are you a Catholic in name only? Or do you truly love your faith? Just having the “name” Catholic does not get you into Heaven. A heart full of love for Christ and others does.

Lord Jesus, give me the strength to be 100% Catholic Christian.
