Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber

Like the voiceless starlight falling
Through the darkness of the night,
Like the silent dewdrops, forming
In the cold moon’s cloudless light, 
So there come to hearts in sorrow
Mary’s angels dear and bright.
They are not like earthly comforts,
Nor like anything on earth;
They are peacefuller than slumber,
They are cheerfuller than mirth;
They are light to all life’s darkness,
They are plenty to it’s dearth.

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.
