Love Is A Mutual Self-giving Which Ends

Before The Sin, Satan Assures Us That It Is Of No Consequence; After The Sin, He Persuades Us That It Is Unforgivable.

Scepticism Is Never Certain Of Itself, Being Less A Firm Intellectual Position Than A Pose To Justify Bad Behavior.

A Democracy Flirts With The Danger Of Becoming A Slave In Direct Ratio To The Numbers Of Its Citizens Who Work, But Do Not Own / Or Who Own, But Do Not Work; Or Who Distribute, As Politicians Do, But Do Not Produce. The Danger Of The "slave State" Disappears In Ratio To The Numbers Of People Who Own Property And Admit Its Attendant Responsibilities Under God. They Can Call Their Souls Their Own Because They Own And Administer Something Other Than Their Souls. Thus They Are Free.

It Is Not Easy To Explain Why God Permits Evil; But It Is Impossible For An Atheist To Explain The Existence Of Goodness. How Could A Spiritless, Soul-less, Cross-less, Godless Universe Become The Center Of Faith, Purity, Sacrifice, And Martyrdom? How Can Decency Be The Decent Thing If There Is No God? Since God Is Love, Why Should We Be Surprised That Want Of It Should End In Pain, Hate, Broken Hearts, And War?

Most Of Us Love A Non-self, Or Something Extrinsic And Apart From Our Inner Life; But A Mother's Love During The Time She Is A Flesh-and-blood Ciborium Is Not For A Non-self But For One That Is Her Very Self, A Perfect Example Of Charity And Love Which Hardly Perceives A Separation. Motherhood Then Becomes A Kind Of Priesthood. She Brings God To Man By Preparing The Flesh In Which The Soul Will Be Implanted; She Brings Man To God In Offering The Child Back Again To The Creator.
