“Zeal for the salvation of souls is
of so great a merit before God that
to give up all our goods to the poor
or to spend our whole life in the
exercises of all sorts of austerities
cannot equal the merit of it.
There is no service more agreeable
to God than this one. To employ
one’s life in this blessed labor is
more pleasing to the Divine Majesty
than to suffer martyrdom.
Would you not feel happy if you
could spend large sums of money
in Corporal Works of Mercy? But
know that he who labors for the
salvation of souls does far more; nay,
the zeal for souls is of far greater
merit before God than the working
of miracles.” St. John Chrysostom
His name is “LEGION” and always
he is changing his label and face, but
his indelible sign remains the same:
hatred of the Church, hatred of the
just and hatred of the Immaculate
Mother of God. The Holy Ghost is the
active Principle of sanctification. The
Church is the earthly manifestation of
the Holy Ghost, its Living Soul. The
Spirit animates the Body which is the
Church. The graces by which we are
elevated to supernatural life are
wrought by the Sacraments which are
the external signs of the action of the
Holy Ghost. No power can quench its
Life, and no force can prevent its
living growth. Baptized into His Body
and animated by His Grace, we are
bound up in Him.
How happy are we to bear our
Paraclete within us, and how sacred
the heart where He dwells! He that
rejects Him shall find no comfort. He
who grieves Him shall be eternally
lost. The Holy Ghost is the Principle of
the Life of the Church and, therefore,
the source of Her unity. Thus, disunion
from this Life is a contradiction and
results in death.
O Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse
to thee and for those who
do not have recourse to thee,
especially for the enemies of
Holy Mother Church!
Let us, at once, grasp that the terrible
war which is raging universally is
a battle against the Holy Ghost! The
Immaculate is so closely united with
the Holy Ghost that She is called
His Spouse. She is, so to speak, the
personification of the Holy Ghost! It is
impossible to separate the Holy Ghost
from Mary the Immaculate, since She
is the instrument He uses in all He does
in the order of grace. Clearly, then,
this raging battle is most surely a war
against the Immaculate Mother of
God! It is a full attack on Truth, Unity
and Love Itself! Arrogant and welldisciplined
by an inhuman mystique,
