      [continued from previous message]              all Catholics were silent on the subject, the very stones of these       sacred edifices would prove the devotion of the early ages to the       Divine Mother. Would any one dare to accuse the pious Christians, who       built these churches, of having erred? This would be no less foolish       than arrogant. Why then do they oppose the church of ancient date? My       Catholic reader, take my advice. Let no one disconcert you in your       devotion to the Queen of Heaven, and never become cold in her service.              Saint Quote:       It is not in human nature to deceive others for any long time, without       in a measure deceiving ourselves also.       --St. John Henry Cardinal Newman              Bible Quote:       Happy indeed the man whom God corrects! So do not refuse this lesson       from the Omnipotent: for he who wounds is he who soothes the sore, and       the hand that hurts is the hand that heals. (Job 5:17-18)                     <><><><>       O Most Holy God              O most Holy God, I adore Thee, through the Adorable       Sacrament of the Altar, and I offer Thee, through the holy       hands of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, all the consecrated       Hosts on our Altars as a sacrifice of expiation, reparation,       and atonement for all the sacrileges, profanations,       impieties, blasphemies, and crimes committed against       Thee throughout the universe. - Amen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
