We Are At Fault For Not Slaying

God Indeed Tempteth No Man; But Yet We Ask, In This Petition, That He Would Keep And Preserve Us, Lest The Devil, The World, And Our Own Flesh Delude And Draw Us Away From The True Faith, And Throw Us Into Superstition, Distrust, Despair, And Other Grievous Sins And Wickedness; And That, If We Should Be Tempted Therewith Even To The Highest Degree, We Still May Conquer, And At Last Triumph Over Them.

Some People Need A Fig-leaf On Their Mouths.

Lord, Grant That Anger Or Other Bitterness Does Not Reign Over Us, But That Your Grace, Genuine Kindness, Loyalty, And Every Kind Of Friendliness, Generosity, And Gentleness May Reign In Us. Amen

Holy Christendom Has, In My Judgment, No Better Teacher After The Apostles Than St. Augustine.

In A Word, The Holy Scripture Is The Highest And Best Of Books, Abounding In Comfort Under All Afflictions And Trials. It Teaches Us To See, To Feel, To Grasp, And To Comprehend Faith, Hope, And Charity, Far Otherwise Than Mere Human Reason Can; And While Evil Oppresses Us, It Teaches How These Virtues Throw Light Upon The Darkness, And How, After This Poor, Miserable Existence Of Ours On Earth, There Is Another And An Eternal Life.
