A Call To Be A Militant Catholic
How will these words impact the way you live your Faith?
“If I am truly grateful
for the fact that our Lord is my God and my Savior, Who shed His blood to the
last drop for me and would have done it for me alone, I must react, when I see Him
attacked, insulted, derided, blasphemed and His Church persecuted. That is the
logical consequence of adoration.
"What good is a Holy Hour, filled with good feelings and emotion, if, as I come out and witness an offence to God, I do not take a stand? What is the sincerity of that love I pledged to Our Lord, if I remain indifferent when I see Him attacked? If my adoration is sincere, I must be ready to fight for His cause to the last breath.
If we consider that our
Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the Mystical Body, which is the Catholic
Church, and that the Church on earth is called the Church Militant; if we
consider that it has been the Church's lot to be attacked, contested, denied, betrayed
and persecuted through the ages, I must be prepared to defend her. Before those
who try to make me ashamed of her, I must hold my head high and have enough
knowledge of a holy doctrine to silence them.”
