Lesson Seven in Christ and the Sacraments, with Fr Thomas Joseph White, OP, DPhil (Oxon), STL, Rector of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome.
Christ experienced inward knowledge of the depths of human sin and confronted this reality with the deepest charity. Therefore, He also held the deepest mournfulness or contrition of heart that any human being has ever known. Yet at the same time, Christ is consoled on the cross in his human soul by the knowledge he has of the Father, of the victory of divine life that is occurring through His passion, and by the confident hope He has in the eventual resurrection of His flesh.

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.
