The Lord is passing by . . . can you hear Him over the noise of all the "links.?"
"Let
us always have our thoughts fixed on that which is to last eternally,
without concerning ourselves with things here below, which disappear
even more quickly than we ourselves."
-St. Teresa of Avila
If
you have risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; mind the
things that are above, not the things that are on earth. —St. Paul to
the Colossians 3:1-2
O God, Who didst teach blessed
Hermenegild, Thy martyr, to choose a
heavenly kingdom rather than an
earthly one, grant us, we beseech
Thee, to despise fleeting things, after
his example, and to pursue those that
are eternal. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, Who lives and reigns
with Thee in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God, forever and ever.
April 13, feast day of St. Hermenegild.

1 And
he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and
behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord
over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord
is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in
the earthquake.
12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13 And
when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming
forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him,
saying: What dost thou here, Elias?
