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!

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH FOR THE DYING

At this time of plague, please place the souls who will die into the fatherly hands of Saint Joseph, patron of the dying. May they enjoy the death promised to those who die in Faith, shared with Saint Joseph, in the words of the Office Hymn for Lauds this morning :

O nimis felix, nimis o beátus,
Cuius extrémam vígiles ad horam
Christus et Virgo simul astitérunt
Ore seréno.

Blest beyond others, and exceeding blissful,
For when the moment of his death was nearing,
Jesus and Mary at his side were standing,
Soothing his spirit.
St Joseph, grant them a holy death.
