The Wisdom and Prophetic Voice of Fulton J. Sheen

I could not pass this up - another strikingly powerful quote from Venerable Fulton J. Sheen - one which Michael Voris shared on a recent epsiode of ChurchMilitant.TV:


“Christian love bears evil, but it does not tolerate it. It does penance for the sins of others, but it is not broad minded about sin. REAL LOVE involves real hatred: whoever has lost the power of moral indignation and the urge to drive out the sellers from the temples has also lost a living fervent love of Truth.”

    Yes, that's a wonderful quote from Ven. Fulton Sheen!

    Just a clarification: it's ChurchMilitant.TV.

Good Friday Reflection

This is not just another Friday. This is Good Friday. Will that fact make any difference in the way we live this day?  For far too many of us, today will likely pass much like any other Friday - a mad rush to get to the weekend with little thought of He Who made us and whose sacrificial and brutal death redeemed us. Where is our gratitude? Unforgettable (Source: Wikimedia Commons ) This the day so long foretold This the day of justice lacking This the day of man’s ingratitude This the day of cowardice and fear

Monday Musings - Eucharistic Revival

Image
  It should come as no surprise that the efforts of the Lay Dominicans of St. Joseph Province to help  promote Eucharistic Adoration are bearing fruit. Here is one Adoration Chapel where two copies of  their book, Godhead Here in Hiding Whom I Do Adore - Lay Dominicans Reflect on Eucharistic Adoration ,  have found a home. The reflections in this book are stirring souls and touching hearts. Have you gotten your copy yet? Is there one in your Adoration Chapel?  Why not? May Father' Bruno's observations  encourage you to do so: “Hidden within these pages, the reader discovers the God who has chosen to dwell within the Tabernacle of the human heart. Each reflection is its own monstrance, bearing the shape of its unique human author, while manifesting our heavenly Father's Spirit of Truth. Here you will find thoughts and events that are ordinary and surprising, instructive and lyrical, worthy of both cross and crown. The common life of the early Dominicans was called ‘the holy

Eucharistic Reflection - Love Him

Image
"At this time in history, with news crashing on upon us from every side - mostly bad news, and some of it frankly scandalous in the extreme, as it reveals the callous complicity with, approbation of, and dedication to evil on the part of many in the hierarchy of the Church, who were supposed to be our guides to holiness and our models of it - nothing could be better than for us to go regularly before the Lord in Adoration.  Fair weather or foul, super-busy or at loose ends, it doesn't matter; this is what we should be doing for our Church, for our clergy, for ourselves. This is what Our Lord is waiting for: a sign from us, an unmistakable sign, that we love Him for His own sake, and above all things on earth. When enough of us are taking real steps to love Him in exactly this way - with our whole mind, our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole strength - we may then count on a new flood of graces inundating the Church."
