"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." ( Dr. Peter Kwasniewski f rom The Holy Bread
Re the second video: in other words, he's Catholic. :)
ReplyDeleteKathleen:
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoy interacting with those who are willing to frankly and honestly comment on what I share. You are absolutely right about the second video. I lost all objectivity in trying to quickly include a sound bite from one of my Domincian brethren. You are a good and kind teacher.
The Pope tells the truth. Truth isn't conservative nor liberal. It just is. A typical German address to an audience contains "Meinen Herren und Damen." Meaning "ladies and gentlemen." Not unusual at all as it is typical in English and other languages as well. I echo Kathleen's comment above. Thanks for this video.
ReplyDeleteMy privilege Colleen. I just realized that my earlier reply was never published.
