Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber
Why did God permit the dolours of His Mother, whom He loved so unspeakably, who was sinless and had nothing in herself to expiate by penance, and whose tears were in no way needful to the Precious Blood, which was of its sole self the redemption of the world ? . . . It was because of His love for her. What can love give which is better than self? But, with Him, self was suffering. Even in the matter of earthly greatness, high destinies are destinies of glorious pain and more than common trial.

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 Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, 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.
