It Is Not Particularly Difficult

It Is A Long Established Principle Of The Church Never To Completely Drop From Her Public Worship Any Ceremony, Object Or Prayer Which Once Occupied A Place In That Worship.

Each And Every One Of Us, At The End Of The Journey Of Life, Will Come Face To Face With Either One Or The Other Of Two Faces... And One Of Them, Either The Merciful Face Of Christ Or The Miserable Face Of Satan, Will Say, "mine, Mine." May We Be Christ's!

As A Man Must Be Born Before He Can Begin To Lead His Physical Life, So He Must Be Born To Lead A Divine Life. That Birth Occurs In The Sacrament Of Baptism. To Survive, He Must Be Nourished By Divine Life; That Is Done In The Sacrament Of The Holy Eucharist.

If We Had Intellectual Vigour Enough To Ascend From Effects To Causes, We Would Explain Political, Economical And Social Phenomena Less By Credit Sheets, Balance Of Trade And Reparations Than By Our Attitude Towards God.

We Can Think Of Lent As A Time To Eradicate Evil Or Cultivate Virtue, A Time To Pull Up Weeds Or To Plant Good Seeds. Which Is Better Is Clear, For The Christian Ideal Is Always Positive Rather Than Negative.
