"Sister Mary Francis, are you
smiling at the angels?
"Perhaps" ,
she answered in her calm, reserved way.
Then I said, "Did you ever see Our Blessed Lady?
"Yes, Sister",
she answered.

Venerable
Margaret Sinclair ...

Violet"

Today's
Letter
from a
Cloistered Nun
Compendium
of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
And a Commentary
(The Compendium is
the Vatican's beautifully concise formulation of our Holy Catholic
Faith, based entirely on the detailed and definitive Catechism of the Catholic Church officially promulgated in 1997 as "a full, complete
exposition of Catholic Doctrine" binding upon all Catholics.)
Our Daily Reading:
Question 11.
"Why and in what way is Divine Revelation transmitted?"
Answer:
"God "desires all
men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy
2.4), that is, of Jesus Christ. For this reason Christ must be
proclaimed to all according to His own command, "Go forth and teach all
nations" (Saint Matthew 28.19). And this is brought about by Apostolic
Tradition."
