Oh, dear, loving Baby Jesus! Give the Cardinals, bishops, priests and religious the courage, fortitude, and strength to be the "signs of Your Kingdom". Amen.
"Blessed is the servant who has faith in the clergy who live uprightly according to the norms of the Roman Church. And woe to those who look down upon them; for even though they may be sinners, none the less no one is to judge them since the Lord alone reserves judgement on them to Himself. For inasmuch as their ministry is freater in that it concerns the most holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which they receive and which they alone administer to others, so those who sin against them commit a greater sin than [if they sinned] against all other people of this world."
