Keep the Faith

Here is a quote for all Missionary Saints like ourselves.


"This is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith."---1 John 5:4 



The great theologian Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange illustrates for us how to live this faith . (Formatting is mine to add emphasis)

This firmness of faith ... manifests itself more and more

• by love for the word of God contained in Holy Scripture,  

• by the cult of tradition preserved in the writings of the fathers,  

• by perfect adherence to even the most minute details of the doctrine proposed by the Church,  

• by docility to the directions of the supreme shepherd, the vicar of Jesus Christ.

 This firmness of faith appears especially in the Martyrs, and also, during great conflicts of opinion, in those who, far from vacillating, are capable of sacrificing their self-love in order to keep immutably to the right road.
