Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

  (Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) Lord, teach me to know the obstacles that, consciously or unconsciously, I am placing in the way of Your grace in me.  Give me the strength to put them aside, and if I am negligent therein, vouchsafe Yourself to remove them, howsoever I may suffer thereby. St. Catherine of Siena

(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) Pope John Paul II has pointed out that the rejection of Divine Mercy is a conspicuous characteristic of our age.   It is a very sad reality, which moves us constantly to a conversion of heart, and to implore our Lord and ask him the reason for such widespread rebellion.   For all to see there is the spectacle of multitudes who lock themselves away from Divine Mercy and the remission of their sins.   They consider these to be nonessential or not important for one's life.   It is an impenetrability of conscience, a state of the mind that could be described as fixed by reason of a free choice.   This is what Sacred Scripture calls hardness of heart. In our own day this attitude of mind and heart is perhaps reflected in the notable loss of the sense of sin.  (Francis Fernandez)
