HOW PARENTS SIN IN REGARD TO THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN

“Parents sin if they don’t instruct their children in matters of faith. They should not imitate certain fathers and mothers who do not meet this duty moved by the desire to keep their children busy in other things. The consequence is that these poor children grow up without knowing how to make their confession, and are even ignorant of the principal articles of faith; they know not what is meant by the Trinity, by the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, by mortal sin, judgment, hell, heaven, or eternity; and through their ignorance they are damned. But their parents will have to account to God for them.”

Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

AVOID THIS TYPE OF PEOPLE

"Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times. Men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked. Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without kindness. Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God. Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid."

Saint Paul, the Apostle 2 Tim 3: 1-5

ABORTION IS A DOUBLE CRIME: PADRE PIO

Padre Pio said to Father Pellegrino: “The day that people lose their horror for abortion will be the most terrible day for humanity. Abortion is not only a homicide but also a suicide. Shouldn’t we have the courage to manifest our faith before those who commit two crimes within one act?”

"Suicide?" asked Father Pellegrino.

“The suicide of the human race will be understood by those who will see the earth populated by the elderly and depopulated of children: burnt as a desert,” Padre Pio replied.

"When you see a soul that announces abortion as a benign act, you will know that in it the prince of darkness reigns and that it is in danger of eternal death. Woe to us if we consent with that miserable and mortal sin! We dare not take the place of the Creator and let no man do it. And let us not be complicit in this cursed crime because of our silence or our lukewarmness."

CATHOLIC FAITH WHOLE AND INVIOLATE

"Whoever wishes to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic Faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity …"

Pope Eugene IV, Council of Florence

REMEMBER THE HOLY SOULS IN PURGATORY

THE HERESIES OF MANY SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE FAITH OF TRUE CATHOLICS

"The current crisis of the Church is so serious that many believe that the times have already begun. Be that as it may, the heresies of many should not affect the faith of true Catholics. Christ already warned us that false shepherds disguised as harmless sheep would come, and He did that precisely so that we do not follow them and, also, so that this does not confuse or affect our faith or our hope. God never fails. He will be with us until the consummation of the world”.

Don Félix Sardà y Salvany
