In Your will are all things, O Lord, and there is none that can resist Your will; for You have made all things, heaven and earth, and all things that are under the cope of heaven. You are Lord of all.
Esth 13:9-11
Create in my heart, O my God! this wholesome fear, which has made the security of the just. Banish from it that fatal indifference, which is the greatest danger of a Christian. We should indeed be mad, and very blind, not to think of this last judgement, or to think lightly of it.
Fr Segneri
Day of wrath and doom impending!
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending,
Heaven and earth in ashes ending!
Dies Irae
Second Point – God need not have created you, but since He has created you, He must, of necessity, be your first beginning and your last end. Just as it would be impossible for you to be a man without having a body and a soul, so it would be impossible for you to be a man without having the obligation of serving God. All-powerful as God is, even He cannot dispense with that obligation.
Fr François Nepveu
Never has it been known, nor will it ever be, that man be loved so much and so universally as Jesus Christ.
Pope Pius XI
If God does not call you to it, you shall be like those illustrious confessors of who St. Cyprian said, That without dying by the executioner, they have gained the merits of martyrdom, because they were prepared for it.
Letter from Fr. Demaris to Catholics Who Have Been Deprived of a Priest
Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is filled with his glory.
The Seraphim
