Words to Live by – from Catholic Tradition

Let us gladly suffer out of love for God!

St. John of the Cross, the Mystical Doctor of the Church, tells us the importance of suffering out of love for God:

Suffering for God is better than working miracles.

Quoted from his work entitled Other Counsels, #13.

What we hold

If you want to know what is your “god”, and what is most important to you, reflect on what you like most to talk about and to think about.

Cf., Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Section: How to make a good choice, Second Way, Fourth Rule.

Catholic Candle note: To assist parents in homeschooling, we call your attention to a new Traditional Catholic homeschool which is now accessible worldwide.  Here is some information about this homeschool:

Angelic Doctor Academy

We would like to introduce Angelic Doctor Academy, a Traditional Catholic homeschool for grades 9 – 12 (lower grades coming soon).  We think Traditional Catholics will appreciate our unique and militantly Traditional Catholic curriculum.  We have written many new textbooks because we saw the problems in many books commonly used, whether they were history, science, or in other disciplines.  We think Catholic parents – especially busy mothers – will appreciate our unique grading system in which we correct everything, including handwritten essays.  This allows the parents to concentrate on teaching, explaining, and keeping order.   Please visit  https://www.ada.school to learn more.   Mention that you are a Catholic Candle subscriber for a 10% discount on materials.  Thank you!
