"You aim at a devout life, dear Philothea, because as a Christian you know that such devotion is most acceptable to God's Divine Majesty," says St. Francis de Sales in his book "Introduction to the Devout Life". And we can all be Philotheas, as St. Francis notes: "I have made use of a name suitable to all who seek the devout life, Philothea meaning one who loves God."

Ember Saturday in Advent
The (EF) Mass for Ember Saturday (today) contains numerous
readings and prayers, and they make a wonderful meditation as Christmas grows
nearer and nearer. I’m unable to find an
easy cut-and-paste means of presenting them here, but if you go to this website,
you will see them all, in English and Latin!
