Prayers & Reflections for October 20

The Armor of God
Reflections and Prayers for Wartime

CHAPTER I
Clearing Away the Debris


"Christianity has been tried and found wanting by the modern world."

Certainly, but did you ever know a Catholic who not only knew that he did wrong, but also wished that he had not?

A Catholic who does wrong still believes his faith is true.

There is always hope for the man who knows that he is doing wrong; but there is no hope for the man who in doing wrong calls the wrong right.

The Catholic gets off the road like anyone else, but he never throws away the map.

"Christianity has been found hard and not tried." - G. K. Chesterton.
