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!

COLLECT
O GOD, Who in assuming the weakness of flesh willed to be pierced by the Nails and wounded by the Lance for the salvation of the world, grant we beseech Thee, that as we venerate the same Nails and Lance here on earth, so may we rejoice in the triumphant glory of Thy victory in Heaven. Who livest and reignest with God the Father Almighty in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
