“All the life of an ungodly man is spent in anxiety… Terrifying sounds are in his ears, and when he at last seems to be at peace, his destruction comes. He does not believe that he will return out of darkness, and he is destined for the sword… he knows in himself that he lives in a dead body; he knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand”

But when Jesus had finished His course of patient endurance,
and had redeemed mankind from their sins,
He ascended again into the heavens, a cloud receiving Him up:
and as He went up Angels were beside Him, and Apostles were beholding.
But if any man disbelieves the words which I speak,
let him believe the actual power of the things now seen.
All kings when they die have their power extinguished with their life:
but Christ crucified is worshipped by the whole world.…
Consecrated Sisters
The word “consecrated” means separated from common use to sacred use; by which a person or a thing is dedicated to the service and worship of God by prayers, rites, and ceremonies. Following in the footsteps of the Mother of God, many females responded to the call of service and virginity. St. Phoebe was a deaconess who helped St. Paul (Rom 16:1-2).
