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 SHROUD

In aliquibus locis, the Friday after the Second Sunday of Lent was celebrated as the feast of the Most Holy Shroud of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in which he was wound in the Holy Sepulchre, and upon which the image of His sacred and wounded Body may be seen.
COLLECT

O GOD, who hast left unto us a token of thy Passion in the holy Shroud, in which Thy most holy body was wrapped by Joseph when taken down from the Cross : mercifully grant, that by Thy death and burial, we may be led unto the glory of the Resurrection. Who livest and reignest with the God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
