September 7~ St. Claude, Confessor

St. Claude was a prince of the royal family of France. To insure his salvation he entered a monastery and became a saint.

Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching.~Gospel, Luke xii.

Thy welfare, therefore, lies not in obtaining and multiplying any external things, but rather in condemning them, and utterly rooting them out of thy heart; which I would not have thee to understand only with regard to money and riches, but also with regard to the ambition of honor, and the desire of empty praise; all which things pass away with the world.~Imitation, Book III

Ideal~ By special Providence, Claude was spared when robbing princes killed his two brothers. He fled to the desert and became a very holy monk, wishing no one to know of his royal descent.

Today~ Have you ever stopped long enough to think that it was a special mercy that you were born of Catholic parents, that you may attend a Catholic school? Take time to realize your privilege and show by your conduct that you are grateful for your Faith.

Slogan~ And they shall be my people and I shall wear them as the apple of my eye.~Holy Scripture.
