Try to enter the narrow way...

Abba Matoes said that three old men went to Abba Paphnutius, who was called Cephalus, to ask a word from him. The old man said to them, 'What do you want me to say to you? A spiritual word, or a bodily word?' They said, 'A spiritual word.' The old man said to them, 'Go, and choose trials rather than stillness, shame rather than glory, and to give rather than to receive.' - Abba Matoes

When the Son of Man returns, will he find any faith on earth?




A critical moment.

“In vast areas of the earth the faith risks being extinguished, like a flame without fuel,” the Pope told assembled members of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who met in a plenary session on Friday.

“We are facing a profound crisis of faith, a loss of a religious sense which represents one of the greatest challenges for the Church today.” - CNA

Yes.

Of course He will.

Once the Holy Mother said yes, that sealed our fate.

Never was it known that anyone that fled to her protection, or implored her help, was left unaided.

The Dispenser of Divine Graces will not let the Sanctuary Lamp be extinguished; nor the Faith.

No matter how angry God gets with us our Mother will intercede for us, provided we are humble and contrite.

Would God that gave His Dove the title Queen of Heaven and Earth, allow it to become barren?

I never asked the question - Christ did. I just repeated it in the title of the post.

It is a difficult time. I think that Pope Benedict XVI is absolutely the right Pope for our times. I am sad for our shepherd. Personally, I feel that the obstacles strengthen my faith. Maybe I am not alone that feel this?

The right Pope for our times hasn't arrived yet.

When he does, prophecy states he will be known as Peter II.
