Consoling Thoughts From Father Faber
Compassion with Mary is already compassion with Jesus; and we may say that compassion with the invisible Creator Himself is the devotional feeling out of which we shall serve Him most generously, and realise Him most tenderly as our Eternal Father- eternal because He has been, blessed be His Majesty! from all eternity, and eternal because we shall be, blessed be His compassion! with Him, His happy sons, His pardoned sons, to all eternity. Truly Mary lays us evermore in the lap of God. Truly, by some celestial logic of their own, all Christian things, be they doctrines or devotions, come out at last in that one compendious, melodious, alone-sufficing word, Eternal Father!

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.
