The fact the enemies of God must face is that modern civilization has conquered the world, but in doing so, has lost its soul. And in losing its soul, it will lose the very world it gained…And as religion faes, so will freedom, for only where the spirit of God is, is there liberty.

In moments when fever, agony, and pain make it hard to pray, the suggestion of prayer that comes from merely holding the rosary–or better still, from caressing the Crucifix at the end of it–is tremendous!

Why are you disappointed? Because of the tremendous disproportion between your desires and your realizations. Your world has a particular infinity about it because it is spiritual. But your body, like the world around you, is material, limited, “cabined, cribbed, confined.”

The wicked fear the good because the good is a constant reproach to their consciences. The ungodly like religion in the same way that they like lions, either dead or behind bars; they fear religion went it breaks loose and begins to challenge their consciences.
