"Sanctify Them In The Truth; Thy Word Is Truth." (John 17:17)
My name is Rosa and I am a Roman Catholic consecrated to God. Sermo Veritas is a blog where my aim will be to provide the Holy Word of God; Words by St. Therese and other Saints; Saint of the Day; Reflections and Meditations; Prayers; and, at times, Reblogs from those who I follow all for the greater glory of God . Everyone is welcomed to submit prayer requests and/or questions by accessing the arrow next to archives. Should you not have a Tumblr account, you may also grace us with your feedback by clicking on "comments" found underneath each post. God bless you. "To keep the Word of Jesus is the condition of our happiness, the proof of our love for Him." --St. Therese of Lisieux. Subscribe to Sermo Veritas
Dear friends, God loves us. This is the great truth of our life; it is what makes everything else meaningful. We are not the product of blind chance or absurdity; instead our life originates as part of a loving plan of God. To abide in his love, then, means living a life rooted in faith, since faith is more than the mere acceptance of certain abstract truths: it is an intimate relationship with Christ, who enables us to open our hearts to this mystery of love and to live as men and women conscious of being loved by God.
And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
(Matthew 16:18)

Adiós, Madrid.
Gracias por una semana inolvidable. ¡Viva el papa!
Translation: Good bye, Madrid. Thank you for an unforgettable week.
I now ask you to “abide” in the adoration of Christ, truly present in the Eucharist. I ask you to enter into conversation with him, to bring before him your questions and to listen to his voice. Dear friends, I pray for you with all my heart. And I ask you to pray for me. Tonight let us ask the Lord to grant that, attracted by the beauty of his love, we may always live faithfully as his disciples.
Words that Pope Benedict was going to say last night at the WYD vigil, but since his talk was cut short by torrential rain, he just lived them.

When we admit our faith is weak, when we admit our faith is shaky, when we admit that our faith isn’t what it should be, actually we’re exercising it, and we’re making it more and more firm. Something tells me that’s why we’re (at World Youth Day). Our faith is weak, our faith is shaky. We want to be with a million other young people from around the world who love their faith and are trying to make it strong.
