From the June-July, 1918 issue of Manna
St. Anthony’s Joy He knelt in study and in prayer In his small cell at home, When suddenly a Child all fair Stood there upon the tome. It was the little Jesus dear Who came to Anthony. But why came He so very near? Because of purity. St. Anthony was filled with joy; He opened wide his arms. He wanted but this Holy Boy, He cared but for His charms. And Jesus rested for a while Upon his yearning breast.-- He was repaid for every trial; Of balms that was the best. But only for a moment he Embraced his God, his Love, For Jesus vanished suddenly: He went to heaven above. So ‘tis with us: oft Jesus lies, Not only in our arms, But to our hearts He ever tries To bring His heavenly charms. The Little Host which we receive This scene acts o’er and o’er, When happy we with Jesus leave The tabernacle door. Welcome to the first ever post on the Cascia Books blog! The plan for this blog is not a lofty one. No great debates about complicated issues here. We hope to create a little pocket of serenity, imbued with Catholic content geared toward the Catholic homeschooling mother (that is who we are after all!) but with a warm welcome extended to all who visit. My cousin Catherine graciously lent me a stack of holy cards that belonged to her great-aunt who passed away a while back. Some of these cards date back to the 1880’s, many were given to a boy named Bernard in his school days. I will be posting images of these holy cards on the blog regularly. Along with the holy cards, there was a stack of newsletters entitled: The boys’ and girls’ own magazine: “Manna” A Catholic Monthly Tending to promote: Tender love for our Eucharistic Lord, Longing love to help Christ’s poor, Eager love for dainty reading These monthly newsletters are from 1918-1922 and are full of stories, poems, riddles and such for the Catholic child and we will be posting some of the content from them here. Expect also the occasional article on some aspect or other of homeschooling and language arts as well as info and updates on upcoming levels of our Lighted Lanterns series. Thank you for visiting! |
