(01:05):
desire that which is pleasingunto thee, and may accomplish it

Thy kingdom come, thy will bedone, on earth as it is in
heaven.
Give us this day our dailybread, and forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive thosewho trespass against us, and
(01:28):
lead us not into temptation, butdeliver us from evil, amen.

(01:51):

Quote from Saint Francis deSales Never be in a hurry.
Do everything quietly and in acalm spirit.
(02:12):
Do not lose your inner peace foranything whatsoever, even if
your whole world seems upset.
Meditation of the Day, anexcerpt from Visits to the
Blessed Sacrament and theBlessed Virgin Mary by Saint
Alphonsus Logori Pages Romannumerals twenty one through
twenty three.
(02:33):
And now, as to the visits to themost blessed Virgin, the opinion
of Saint Bernard is well knownand generally believed.
It is that God dispenses nograces otherwise than through
the hands of Mary.
God wills that we should receivenothing that does not pass
through Mary's hands.
Hence, Father Suarez declaresthat it is now the sentiment of
(02:56):
the universal Church that theintercession of Mary is not only
useful but even necessary toobtain graces.
And we may remark that theChurch gives us strong grounds
for this belief by applying thewords of the sacred scripture to
Mary and making her say In me isall hope of life and of virtue.
(03:17):
Come over to me all ye thatdesire me.
Ecclesiastes chapter twenty fourverse twenty five.
Let all come to me, for I am thehope of all that you can desire.
Hence she then adds Blessed isthe man that heareth me and that
watcheth daily at my gates, andwaiteth at the posts of my
(03:37):
doors.
Proverbs eight thirty four.
Blessed is he who is diligent incoming every day to the door of
my powerful intercession, for byfinding me he will find life and
eternal salvation.
He that shall find me shall findlife and shall have salvation
from the Lord.
(03:57):
Proverbs thirty five.
Hence, it is not without reasonthat the Holy Church wills that
we should call her our commonhope by saluting her, saying,
Hail our hope.
Let us then, says Saint Bernard,who went so far as to call Mary
the whole ground of his hope,seek for graces and seek them
(04:19):
through Mary.
Otherwise, says Saint Antonius,if we ask for graces without her
intercession, we shall be makingan effort to fly without wings,
and we shall obtain nothing.
He who asks without her as hisguide attempts to fly without
wings.
(04:39):
Scripture verse of the day andthe Lord's servant must not be
quarrelsome, but kindly toeveryone, an apt teacher,
patient, correcting opponentswith gentleness.
God may perhaps grant that theywill repent and come to know the
truth, and that they may escapefrom the snare of the devil,
having been held captive by himto do his will.
(05:08):
Saint of the Day The Saint ofthe Day for December third is
Saint Francis Xavier.
Saint Francis Xavier livedbetween fifteen oh six and
fifteen fifty two.
He was born in his family castlein Navarre in what is today
Spain.
While studying in Paris he metSaint Ignatius of Loyola and
joined him in the foundation ofthe Society of Jesus.
(05:30):
Instead of devoting himself toacademic pursuits as he had
planned, and in which he enjoyedgreat success, he became the
first Jesuit missionary priest.
His missionary activity began inGoa, India and extended across
the Orient.
Saint Francis Xavier was knownthroughout the Far East for his
humility, care of the poor, andmiracles, including healings,
(05:53):
speaking in tongues, andprophetic powers.
His passion for Christ and zealfor souls won him many converts
to the faith.
It is said that during hismissionary journeys he baptized
over forty thousand people.
He is considered by many to beone of the Church's greatest
missionaries since Saint Paulthe Apostle.
In his travels he left behindflourishing churches that were
(06:15):
the foundations of the CatholicChurch in Asia.
He is the patron saint ofnavigators, missionaries,
African missions, India, Japan,China, and New Zealand.
Saint Francis Xavier, pray forus.

and pure choice wines.
On this mountain he will destroythe veil that veils all peoples,
(07:01):
the web that is woven over allnations, he will destroy death
forever.
The Lord God will wipe away thetears from all faces, the
reproach of his people he willremove from the whole earth, for

leads me, He refreshes my soul.
I shall live in the house of theLord all the days of my life.
He guides me in right paths forhis name's sake.
Even though I walk in the darkvalley, I fear no evil, for you
are at my side, with your rodand your staff that give me
(08:08):
courage.
I shall live in the house of theLord all the days of my life.
You spread the table before mein the sight of my foes, you
anoint my head with oil, my cupoverflows.
I shall live in the house of theLord all the days of my life.
Only goodness and kindnessfollow me all the days of my
(08:30):
life, and I shall dwell in thehouse of the Lord for years to

At that time Jesus walked by theSea of Galilee, went up on the
(08:53):
mountain, and sat down there.
Great crowds came to him, havingwith them the lame, the blind,

deformed made whole, the lamewalking, and the blind able to
(09:13):
see, and they glorified the Godof Israel.
Jesus summoned his disciples andsaid, My heart is moved with
pity for the crowd, for theyhave been with me now for three
days and have nothing to eat.
I do not want to send them awayhungry, for fear they may
collapse on the way.
The disciples said to him, Wherecould we ever get enough bread
(09:33):
in this deserted place tosatisfy such a crowd?
Jesus said to them, How manyloaves do you have?
Seven, they replied, and a fewfish.
He ordered the crowd to sit downon the ground.
Then he took the seven loavesand the fish, gave thanks, broke
the loaves, and gave them to thedisciples, who in turn gave them
to the crowds.
(09:54):
They all ate and were satisfied.
They picked up the fragmentsleft over, seven baskets full.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
