The Sword of Sorrow

Mary is never invoked in vain…Mary is the Queen of Martyrs because next to Jesus she suffered more than anyone else ever suffered. (Mary did not suffer physically. Hers were sufferings of the soul. Her heart was pierced with the sword of sorrow).  But why did she have to suffer at all? It is because God sends sufferings to those whom He loves, and the more He loves them, the greater the sufferings He sends them…I will remember all of this then when the Lord gives me some little splinter of the cross to carry.  I will not so easily complain and be unhappy.

Don't Hinder The Growth of The Church

 

 

Every worldly priest hinders the growth of the Church; every saintly priest promotes it.  If only all priests realized how their holiness makes the Church holy, and how the Church begins to decline as the level of holiness among priests falls below that of the people!

Ven. Fulton J. Sheen

In order to desire to be saved, we must know we are lost.
