Words to Live by – from Catholic Tradition
Let Us Not Be Self-Indulgent and Impulsive!
Blessed is he who, setting aside his own liking and inclination, considers things according to reason and justice before doing them.
Quoted from Prayer Of A Soul Taken With Love, #42, by St. John Of The Cross, Mystical Doctor of the Church

Catholic Candle’s 2025 Catholic Calendar
The Catholic Candle’s 2025 Traditional Catholic calendar is now available at https://catholiccandle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/calendar_2025.pdf. It is free to download and is freely distributable.
To make this calendar into a hanging calendar, staple two heavy-duty plastic sleeves or sheet protectors together using the wider unused left edge on each plastic sleeve, one sheet below the other. Slip a holy picture in the top half and insert monthly calendar page in bottom half. A holy picture can be printed from here: https://catholiccandle.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Sacred-Heart-Immaculate-Heart.tif
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!
