A Tiny Spark
“If a tiny spark of God’s love already burns within you, do not expose it to the wind, for it may get blown out. Keep the stove tightly shut so that it will not lose its heat and grow cold. In other words, avoid distractions as well as you can. Stay quiet with God. Do not spend your time in useless chatter.” St. Charles Borromeo
Year of Mercy Calendar for Today: “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this life is to see what you believe.” St. Augustine

Today the Church honors St John
Houghton, priest, and one of the
Martyrs of England. John was one of
the first English Catholics killed for

Act of Supremacy which made the

England.
