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!

RIGHT TO LIFE - NORTHERN IRELAND

The campaign Right to Life is coordinating responses to the Northern Ireland Public Consultation on sex-education in schools, particularly in relation to mandatory teaching about abortion to the very young, the policy proposed by the Department of Education. 79% of Irish respondents to the earlier consultation did not want abortion laws imposed by Westminster.

It takes a minute to respond to the consultation on the link below.  The deadline is this Friday at one minute to midnight. Please consider adding your voice for Life.


Our Lady of the Presentation, pray for all children.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!

For those many of our readers wondering what to buy their loved ones for Christmas, here is the perfect suggestion. The new British Order tie, suitable for Members, Companions and friends, anyone who knows the Order, works with it or supports its activities, of simply likes (or even dislikes) it.

The tie, in pure silk, combines Maltese Crosses with the lions passant and fleurs-de-lys taken from the arms of the ancient Tongue of England, to which all British knights in Rhodes and Malta belonged.

It may thus, of course, also be safely given to anglophone foreigners!

All proceeds go to support the works of the Order.  Click HERE !

With best wishes for a very happy Christmas!
