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!

OBSEQUIUM PAUPERUM - A SACRAMENT - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

This charming little video is offered to Members of the Order and Companions as a vade mecum for the ultimate act of charity we can give to Our Lords the Sick, namely to accompany them to a holy death. Every Catholic needs to know this, and this film, make by Fr Joe Dunn and the Catholic film company Radharc in the 1960s, remains wholly relevant today. Indeed more so, as so many of us have forgotten these simple duties.

It' all very well knowing how to nurse, but for every human being there comes a time when nursing ceases to be necessary, and then both their soul and ours benefits from this outward sign of God Love in the sacrament of Extreme Unction. CLICK ON VIDEO IMAGE.
