It was a wonderful consolation this morning when I realized today is the feast day of Pope Paul VI.
I am so grateful for his canonization, which is a confirmation of his sanctity and an affirmation of the good he accomplished as Pope. It seems to me to also affirm Vatican II and the Ordinary Form of Mass. Whenever one is tempted to doubt the efficacy of the Ordinary Form of Mass, Divine Providence has given us a sign in the canonization of Pope Paul VI, that Christ remains faithful to the Church, and his promises (to remain with us always) never fails. Christ is faithful - even when we may not be. He remains faithful, even when some depart, because they do not accept post-Conciliar papal authority, the Missal of Paul VI, and so on.
St. Paul VI, pray for us, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
