Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber

What have we to do with giving or taking the world’s respect, which we have bound ourselves eternally to disrespect? Enough for us that we have taken ourselves out of the world’s hands, and out of our own, and put ourselves into the hands of God; and we have felt those hands - oh, happy we! - gently but firmly close over us, and hold us fast.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
