As Cardinal Mercier said : "When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere."                                                                                  From Cardinal Sarah : "In order to avoid hearing God's music, we have chosen to use all the devices of this world. But heaven's instruments will not stop playing just because some people are deaf."                                                                                              Saint John-Paul II wrote: "The fact that one can die for the faith shows that other demands of the faith can also be met."                                                 Cardinal Müller says, “For the real danger to today’s humanity is the greenhouse gases of sin and the global warming of unbelief and the decay of morality when no one knows and teaches the difference between good and evil.”                                                  St Catherine of Siena said, “We've had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues - I see the world is rotten because of silence.”                                                  Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”                                                Brethren, Wake up!

FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY CROWN OF THORNS

In aliquibus locis, the Friday after Ash Wednesday was celebrated as the feast of the Most Holy Crown of Thorns.
COLLECT

Grant, we beseech you, O God, that as we venerate the Crown of Thorns on earth as a memorial of the passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, so we may merit in heaven to be crowned with its glory and honour. Who live and reign in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen.
Pray this day especially for the people of Paris, where the relic is kept, now displaced from the Cathedral of Notre-Dame.
