Fraternal Correction and Silence
(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The practice of fraternal correction assumes several factors. First, a sin has been committed and it can be identified. Second, a person of goodwill and moral rectitude comes forward to make the correction. Third, other persons and the Church must be willing to intervene if called upon. Fourth, the Church has the courage to remove a recalcitrant sinner from the ranks of the faithful until the sinner repents. Clarity of thought, purity of intention and courage to take the right (and at times difficult) course of action will help sinners repent of their transgression and lead souls to Christ. 'In the end, action must be taken because all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.' - Edmund Burke Father Jerome Magat

That We Might Hear The Voice of God
(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) We must fly from all that can draw us away from God; we must keep ourselves in a silence both exterior and interior, that we may hear the voice of God; and we must calm all the agitations and anxieties of our mind and heart, that they may be fixed on God alone. Father John Nicholas Grou, S.J.
Acting On Our Beliefs
(Image source: Wikimedia Commons ) People who take the question of human truth, freedom and meaning seriously will never remain silent about it. They can’t. They’ll always act on what they believe, even at the cost of their reputations and lives. That’s the way it should be. Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.
