JULY
The month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus and, in recognizing His love for us, we are also taking a moment to recognize the sacrifices so many others made for the freedoms we enjoy today. It is so easy to become complacent and dwell in the house of expectation of all that we have and possess. If we took but one moment to pray, ponder, and consider the dedication of others towards a more perfect union – we would realize that the fragility of our faith and our freedoms have always rested on the sacrificial shoulders of Jesus.
“Some seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge: that is curiosity.
Others seek knowledge that they themselves be known: that is vanity.
But there are still others who seek knowledge in order to serve and edify others, and that is charity.”
--- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
