Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise."

•JUNE IS THE MONTH OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
THE MEEK AND HUMBLE HEART OF JESUS IS FULL OF LOVE FOR HUMANITY,
IT IS THE ANTIDOTE TO
THE SIN OF PRIDE•

THE POET IN NATURE
By Walt Whitman
"I walk solitary, unattended,
An interval passing at vacancy with nature, acceptive and at ease,
Sane, random, negligent hours,
Wandering the negligent paths,
Withdrawn to muse and meditate in some deep recess.
Every day, seclusion—the soothing silence, far from the clank of crowds,
Every day at least two or three hours of freedom, no talk, no bonds, no dress, no manners,
Away from books—away from art—the lesson learn’d, pass’d o’er,
No longer abash’d, for I can respond as I would not dare elsewhere.
Nature is naked, and I am also,
Sweet, sane, still nakedness in nature!
Ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity might really know you once more!
Is not nakedness then indecent?
No, not inherently; are we not all naked under our clothes?
It is the beholder’s own thought, inference, distorted construction that is indecent—
It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability.
Your stale modesties are filthy to such a man as I,
There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent.
The inner never-lost rapport we hold with earth, light, air, trees, etc., is not to be realized through eyes and mind only, but through the whole corporeal body. Perhaps indeed he or she to whom the free exhilarating extasy of nakedness in nature has never been eligible (and how many thousands there are!) has not really known what purity is—nor what faith or art or health really is.
Nothing can exceed the quiet splendor and freshness, the fresh scent, the peace, the naturalness all around me,
I feel the sky, the prairies vast,
I feel the ocean and the forest—somehow I feel the globe itself swift-swimming in space,
Never before did I get so close to nature; never before did she come so close to me.
Amid this wild, free scene, how healthy, how joyous, how clean and vigorous and sweet!
It seems indeed as if peace and nutriment from heaven subtly filter into me here,
How it all nourishes, lulls me, in the way most needed.
The disturb’d passions and the feverish conflict subsided,
I stand or sit, musing, my sane or sick spirit here as near at peace as it can be.
My spirit at peace, I smile,
All is peace here, I am satisfied..."
“Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness on the confines
of two everlasting hostile empires,
—Necessity and Free Will.”
~Thomas Carlyle

“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament… There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.”

1 Timothy 5:8
"Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
