"And who I ask, could believe that the ark of holiness, the dwelling place of the Word of God, the temple of the Holy Ghost, could be reduced to ruin? My soul is filled with horror at the thought that this virginal flesh which had begotten God, had brought Him into the world, had nourished and carried Him, could have been turned into ashes or given over to the food of worms?"
St. Robert Bellarmine, Sermons at Louvain.
Thank you Blessed Mother for your prayers in obtaining a cease fire in the Middle East on Your Feast day.
