Show WHAT THE DEVIL SAYS. In the Catholic Columbian we read: The devil says: "The sermon is too long don't go to the "Iiiglr Mass.' "'And the low Masses are crowded. The devil says: "You are too tired to say your prayers tonight let them go. Just say a few words and slip into your warm bed." And the rosary is not recited that night. The devil says: "You're too weak to observe the fasts you know what a headache you get." And fortitude gives way to gluttony. The devil says: "You can't go to daily. Mass it's such a, job to get there in time and now the weather is so cold. And only a dozen members of the congregation attend the sacrifice. The devil says: "The Catholic papers are so dull why isn't there something bright in- them ?" And even the children in some families say the same thing, and wish for the sensations, crimes, f ads and follies of the hour reported in the daily pspers in order to get something "bright." Do you take the devil's word when he says these thfngs ? |
