We Are Dust

“Remember, Man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return.”  With this simple but profound statement, Holy Mother Church reminds her children that this earthly life is not our goal.  We are destined for eternity and how we will spend it is the most momentous of subjects.

This LENT, this “Losing Every Negative Thought,” let us offer our fasting and sacrifices for those Christians who are being persecuted to death by radical Islam around the world.  Let us not forget that there are more slaves TODAY that there have ever been in history!  Though evil and neglectful churchmen choose not even to talk about the modern martyrs of today, WE must always talk about them and pray for them.  Though the Vatican does not even name the countries in which these terrible things happen, WE will not join in contemptible silence.  WE speak truth to power.  We say ‘shame’ and ‘have pity, O Lord, have pity on our brothers and sisters suffering for love of Thee!’
