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!

REFLECTION ON OUR REDEMPTION 15 - PENTECOST

This is the 15th and last paper in our series Reflections on our Redemption which have been running since Passion Week. They may all be revisited using the search box top-left.

We are grateful, yet again, to Fr Joseph Hamilton for this final meditation upon the descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost.

Please pray for our beloved Order at this time, that it may be guided by the Holy Spirit into the path of Truth and Humility, not easy virtues for those living in the modern world which hates both; pray for our Chaplains, without whom we could not hope to be a Catholic order, that they may have the courage to give us the teaching we need; pray this weekend for the 20,000 or so Chartres Pilgrims who cannot walk due to the virus, and for our own small band of British Order Pilgrims who walked valiantly in Our Lady's path in London yesterday, praying for your intentions. Above all pray of the Church, that it in this time of crisis She may be given the strength to restore the awesome sway of Christ in our fallen world. We must each play our little part; the choice is yours.
The painting in the video shows the 'Descent of the Holy Ghost' by Sir Anthony van Dyck, 1618-20, in the collection at Sanssouci, Potsdam.
