When they attack your person or my Movement, answer with prayer, with silence and with forgiveness.
Blue Book #91 o
When I faced the death-of-God movement in the 1960s, I felt both weak and strong at the same time. The strength was not mine. I prayed to St. Catherine of Siena often during those years because she fought for the church. I have a statue and a relic of St. Catherine. I carried the relic on my person as the death-of-God-issue was thrown at me. I knew that I was on guard for the church. To defend the church you have to be crucified, always crucified.
Grace in Every Season (April 29)
I live in the Boston area where another large group set on the attack of the church is gathering this weekend.
Our response needs to be a truly Christian one… first prayer and silence … do and say nothing without going there first.
We may be dealing with repercussions of this gathering for some time, but that’s not our concern. God is still in charge… let HIM!
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
