Consoling Thoughts Father Faber
As the world goes, we shall not greatly peril what is divine in our sorrows by being simply passive about sympathy. But even this passiveness is hard. How should it be anything else but hard when it is part of our crucifixion? It is Calvary’s hardest lesson. Let us take it to ourselves, although we fear it; neither let us be cast down because we fear. Whoever did anything well which he had not first feared to do? What is there upon earth that is worth doing which is not worth fearing also?

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.
