“Take firm hold of the rudder of faith so that the severe storms of this world cannot disturb you.” [From the Office of Readings on feast day of St. Ambrose, 12-07]
St. Titus Brandsma was imprisoned and killed at the Dachau concentration camp. "When Brandsma would occasionally manage to secretly celebrate a Mass at Dachau, in the absence of eucharistic bread, he'd take the other prisoners' hands in his and say, 'This is the body of Christ.' "
In the painting below Brother Mickey McGrath depicts Brandsma and the nurse at Dachau who ultimately administered the injection that killed him. St. Titus held firm to the rudder of faith, may he intercede for us that our faith be secured to Christ the Rudder.
May God Be Praised.
