At the beatification ceremony .. Pope Pius X .. who would of course be canonized a saint
as well .. said the following. It’s worth listening to and meditating on deeply.
"In our time more than ever before, the chief strength of the wicked, lies in the cowardice
and weakness of good men...All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the
easy-going weakness of Catholics.
Oh! if I might ask the Divine Redeemer, as the prophet Zachary did in spirit: What
are those wounds in the midst of Thy hands? The answer would not be doubtful:
With these was I wounded in the house of them that loved Me. I was wounded by My
friends, who did nothing to defend Me, and who, on every occasion, made themselves
the accomplices of My adversaries.
And this reproach can be leveled at the weak and timid Catholics of all countries."
What too many Catholics fail to grasp about the faith is this – IT is the bulwark against
evil in the world and it alone. When it is failing at its task .. evil advances.
And when evil advances .. the enemy of the human race is able to seduce souls into Hell.
If this simple basic foundational jumping off starting off point of the faith is not
understood .. then none of the rest makes sense or CAN make sense.
In order to grasp this foundational point .. a person MUST believe and understand in
If we want to vercome evil and suffering we must become faithful
Christians, obedient to the teachings of the Church.
