"At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father. . .who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever." To catechize is "to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God's eternal design reaching fulfillment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the meaning of Christ's actions and words and of the signs worked by him." Catechesis aims at putting "people . . . in communion . . . with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity."Catechism of the Catholic Church: 426
«The soul, if it wants to reign with Christ in eternal glory, must be polished with hammer and chisel strokes, which the divine Artificer uses to prepare the stones, that is, the chosen souls. What are these hammer and chisel strokes? Darkness, my sister, fears, temptations, sadness of spirit and spiritual fears, which reek like a sickness, and bodily discomfort.
Give thanks to the infinite piety of the eternal Father who, in this way, leads your soul to salvation. Why not glory in these benevolent conditions from the best of all fathers? Open your heart to the celestial doctor of souls and, full of confidence, surrender yourselves into his most holy arms. [...] Whenever Jesus shows himself, give him thanks. If he hides, give him thanks: all are touches of his love. I wish you to give up your spirit with Jesus on the cross, when he says: “It is finished” (John 19:20)».
St. Padre Pio - Epistle II, 87-90, n. 8

For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.” ³When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; ⁴and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. ⁵They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet»Matthew 2:1-5 (RSVCE)

Today we venerate and celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God. In 431 AD, at the Council of Ephesus, the Church dogmatically declared the orthodoxy of the Marian title 'Mother of God' (Θεοτόκος, Dei Genetrix).
«And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?»
Luke 1:43 (RSVCE)
"Therefore, because the holy virgin bore in the flesh God who was united hypostatically to the flesh, for this reason we call her the Mother of God, not as if the nature of the Word had the beginning of its existence from the flesh (for 'the Word was in the beginning and the Word was God and the Word was with God' and made the ages and is co-eternal with the Father and the author of all things), but because, as we have said, she united the human hypostatically to herself and underwent a birth according to the flesh from her womb."
St. Cyril of Alexandria, Second Letter to Nestorius
℣. Holy Mother of God
℟. pray for us
Some people want to know why I wished to be called Francis. For me, Francis of Assisi is the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and protects creation. + Pope Francis
