Words to Live By – From Catholic Tradition

God Sends to Us Life’s Blows and Disappointments for Our Own Good

St. Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church, invokes the teaching of Pope St. Gregory the Great, Doctor of the Church, about the Crosses that God sends for our own good:

Constant temporal success is a sure sign of
eternal damnation.

St. Anthony of Padua, Sermon for the 6th Sunday after Pentecost, quoting Pope St. Gregory the Great, from his work entitled de Moralis, XXVI, 18:35.

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!
