Os justi meditabur sapientam, et lingua ejus loquetur judicium; lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius.
The mouth of the just shall speak wisdom, and his tongue shall speak judgement: the law of God is in his heart.
Today is the feast day of St Raymund of Pennafort (1175-1275). St Raymund was the author of a Summa on morals and conscience, for which he was given the title 'Eminent minister of the Sacrament of penance'. Whilst he died at an unusually old age for a saint, he was not unusual amongst them in knowing of when he was to leave this world, and spent the last 35 years of his life preparing for his death. St Raymund, pray for us.
