BLUEPRINTS
Master Creator of all
You hold the world in your hand
You’re greater than all the heavens
And you have a plan for me.
You formed the clouds and lift them up
You carved the oceans,
Made them move
From the dawn of creation
You had a plan for me.
Ref:
You hold the blueprints of life
You hold your hand in mine
All that I am is yours
Designer, Creator of life
You hold the plans
You hold the plans.
When I look at the stars
As I gaze at the sunrise
I can see your hand
I can smell your sweet perfume
You hold the plan,
YOU HOLD THE PLANS
Ref:
You hold the blueprints of life
You hold your hand in mine
All that I am is yours
Designer, Creator of life
You hold the blueprints of life
You hold your hand in mine
All that I am is yours
Designer, Creator of life
You hold the plans
YOU HOLD THE PLANS.

Servite Domino in laetitia! — I will serve God cheerfully. With a cheerfulness that is a consequence of my Faith, of my Hope and of my Love — and that will last for ever. For, as the Apostle assures us, Dominus prope est!… — the Lord follows me closely. I shall walk with Him, therefore, quite confidently, for the Lord is my Father, and with his help I shall fulfil his most lovable Will, even if I find it hard.

Crush the Head of Satan in Your Life With These 10 Powerful Quotes from Pope St. Pius X
Pope St. Pius X is such an inspiration for Catholics!
Born into a poor Italian family and one of 10 children, this first pope of the 20th century is most well-known for his liturgical and canonical reforms. Through his 11 year papacy, (1903-1914) he held the motto, Instaurare Omnia in Christo, or “Restore all Things in Christ.”
Pope St. Pius X changed first Holy Communion to an earlier age (seven), encouraged frequent reception of the Eucharist, and held a strong devotion to Our lady.
He was also an advocate against the modernistic theology, encouraged laypeople to read the Bible, restored the Gregorian chant, “revised the Breviary, reorganized the curia, and initiated the codification of canon law.”
Pope Pius XII canonized Pope St. Pius X in 1958.
Here’s 10 Pope St. Pius X Quotes to help you crush Satan’s head in your life:
1) “Where is the road which leads us to Jesus Christ? It is before our eyes: it is the Church. It is our duty to recall to everyone, great and small, the absolute necessity we are under to have recourse to this Church in order to work out our eternal salvation.”
2) “I was born poor, I have lived in poverty, and I wish to die poor.”
3) “All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easy going weakness of Catholics.”
4) “The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers, it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God … and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary.”
5) “Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven.”
6) “Without any doubt there is a desire in all hearts for peace. But how foolish is he who seeks this peace apart from God; for if God be driven out, justice is banished, and once justice fails, all hope of peace is lost.”
7) “It is necessary that children be nourished by Christ before they are dominated by their passions, so they can with greater courage resist the assaults of the devil, of the flesh, and their other enemies, whether internal or external.”
8) “Truly we are passing through disastrous times, when we may well make our own the lamentation of the Prophet: ‘There is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land’ (Hosea 4:1).
“Yet in the midst of this tide of evil, the Virgin Most Merciful rises before our eyes like a rainbow, as the arbiter of peace between God and man.”
9) “The greatest obstacle in the apostolate of the Church is the timidity, or rather the cowardice, of the faithful.”
10) “Let the storm rage and the sky darken – not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful ‘who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent.'”
Pope St. Pius X, pray for us!

AUGUST 19 - Saint Louis of Anjou / Toulouse - SAN LUDOVIK (1274-1297) Isqof tal-Ewwel Ordni
Saint Louis of Anjou / Toulouse
Liturgical Feast Day is August 19
(February 9, 1274 – August 19, 1297)

Saint Louis of Toulouse’s Story
When he died at the age of 23, Louis was already a Franciscan, a bishop, and a saint!
Louis’s parents were Charles II of Naples and Sicily, and Mary, daughter of the King of Hungary. Louis was related to Saint Louis IX on his father’s side and to Elizabeth of Hungary on his mother’s side.
Louis showed early signs of attachment to prayer and to the corporal works of mercy. As a child he used to take food from the castle to feed the poor. When he was 14, Louis and two of his brothers were taken as hostages to the king of Aragon’s court as part of a political deal involving Louis’s father. At the court, Louis was tutored by Franciscan friars under whom he made great progress both in his studies and in the spiritual life. Like Saint Francis he developed a special love for those afflicted with leprosy.
While he was still a hostage, Louis decided to renounce his royal title and become a priest. When he was 20, he was allowed to leave the king of Aragon’s court. He renounced his title in favour of his brother Robert and was ordained the next year. Very shortly after, he was appointed bishop of Toulouse, but the pope agreed to Louis’s request to become a Franciscan first.
The Franciscan spirit pervaded Louis. “Jesus Christ is all my riches; he alone is sufficient for me,” Louis kept repeating. Even as a bishop he wore the Franciscan habit and sometimes begged. He assigned a friar to offer him correction — in public if necessary — and the friar did his job.
Louis’s service to the Diocese of Toulouse was richly blessed. In no time he was considered a saint. Louis set aside 75 percent of his income as bishop to feed the poor and maintain churches. Each day he fed 25 poor people at his table.
Louis was canonized in 1317 by Pope John XXII, one of his former teachers. His Liturgical Feast Day is August 19.
Reflection
When Cardinal Hugolino, the future Pope Gregory IX, suggested to Francis that some of the friars would make fine bishops, Francis protested that they might lose some of their humility and simplicity if appointed to those positions. Those two virtues are needed everywhere in the Church, and Louis shows us how they can be lived out by bishops.

Tifkira Franġiskana ta' SAN LUDOVIK
(1274-1297) Isqof tal-Ewwel Ordni
Ludovik, iben ir-Re Karlu ta’ Anjou, ta’ Napli, twieled fl-1274. Meta kien għadu daqsxejn ta’ tifel, kien meħud priġunier ma’ ħutu għand ir-Re ta’ Aragona. Hemmhekk sar jaf lill-Franġiskan
Meta ntgħażel biex isir Isqof ta’ Tolosa ried li qabel jordna, jilbes it-tonka ta’ Franġiskan u jipprofessa r-Regola ta’ San Franġisk.
Ludovik f’ħajtu kellu l-ħila jgħaqqad il-ħeġġa pastorali ma’
mħabba kollha ħrara lejn il-foqra. Kien jgħix ħajja tassew umli
u fqira. Miet ta' 23 sena fl-1297 fl-aħjar taż-żgħożija. Fl-1317 il-
Papa Ġwanni XXII kitbu mal-qaddisin tal-Knisja.
