2000 years and Margery Egan is here to remind you, no matter how many times you knock them down, the disciples of Christ just wont go away.
Actually Madge, as time and history prove over and over - through lions and executions and persecutions and heresies - about two miles northeast as the crow flies, on Morrissey Boulevard, it's the enemies of Christiandom that don't survive.
Check out the Catechism on what you're seeing and don't be so glum.
Tie yourself to the Ark.
Resurrection. Rising.
Rising He restores our life. Over and over again in history.
No matter the intensity of the darkness, it will not and cannot overcome Christ. Evil is having it's hour but the day of the Lord will come. Give witness to the truth. His light shines on in the darkness. Our hope is in the Lord who made heaven and earth. Make that hope present. Fr. Corapi
Hope your day was a glorious one, filled with love, prayer, joy and lots of chocolate.
Today is the third day of the Divine Mercy Novena.
Third Day "Today bring to Me all Devout and Faithful Souls,and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy. These souls brought me consolation on the Way of the Cross. They were a drop of consolation in the midst of an ocean of bitterness."
Most Merciful Jesus, from the treasury of Your mercy, You impart Your graces in great abundance to each and all. Receive us into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart and never let us escape from It. We beg this grace of You by that most wondrous love for the heavenly Father with which Your Heart burns so fiercely.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon faithful souls, as upon the inheritance of Your Son. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, grant them Your blessing and surround them with Your constant protection. Thus may they never fail in love or lose the treasure of the holy faith, but rather, with all the hosts of Angels and Saints, may they glorify Your boundless mercy for endless ages. Amen.
