WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush, and tyranny tremble at patience.

A Quote For Today: On Visible Signs

-
The visual, aural, even olfactory elements of the Liturgy manifest the sacred realities being made present. They show forth the holy mysteries being celebrated. They convey to our senses the truth of what we are participating in. They are visible signs of the invisible grace at work.

—from On Irreverence and Solemnity, Nicholas Senz at The Catholic Thing

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

THOMAS SOWELL

Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

PSALM 6

Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled; they shall turn back, and be put to shame in a moment.

WORDS TO THE WHYS

An idle wight abideth in sloth, and doth chastise all who seek to render aid.

JACOB ANSCOMB

Judge not, saith the Lord. Wherefore do these knaves of malice and guile cast their cruelty upon others, fearing not the fires of perdition?
