The Danger Today Is In Believing There

We Can Think Of Lent As A Time To Eradicate Evil Or Cultivate Virtue, A Time To Pull Up Weeds Or To Plant Good Seeds. Which Is Better Is Clear, For The Christian Ideal Is Always Positive Rather Than Negative.

The World Is Living Today In What Might Be Described As An Era Of Carnality, Which Glorifies Sex, Hates Restraint, Identifies Purity With Coldness, Innocence With Ignorance, And Turns Men And Women Into Buddhas With Their Eyes Closed, Hands Folded Across Their Breasts, Intently Looking Inward, Thinking Only Of Self.

Pride Is The King Of Vices...it Is The First Of The Pallbearers Of The Soul...other Vices Destroy Only Their Opposite Virtues, As Wantonness Destroys Chastity; Greed Destroys Temperance; Anger Destroys Gentleness; But Pride Destroys All Virtues.

When We Die To Something, Something Comes Alive Within Us. If We Die To Self, Charity Comes Alive; If We Die To Pride, Service Comes Alive; If We Die To Lust, Reverence For Personality Comes Alive; If We Die To Anger, Love Comes Alive.

It Is The Basic Principle Of Marxism That Any Attempt To Reconcile Capital And Labor So That They Both Co-operate In Peace And Prosperity Is A Betrayal Of Communism.
