   The Interior Life, Meditation: (3) (2/2)

   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.

   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.
