"All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics." - Saint Pope Pius V

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - He is handsome, isn't He?
Today the enormous statute of Sacred Heart of Jesus resided in my home for renovation. Despite its worn colours, I was amazed at its perfect measurement upon close inspection. I was pretty sure that it was made by the artist with extraordinary skills as it was really well crafted. Now, it looked majestic and glorious magnificent after being overlaid with white paint. It somehow seemed to be trying to magnify the marvelousness of God, the Most High. I am glad that it will be going to be used to raise the reverence atmosphere for Most Sacred Heart of Jesus upon the completion of renovation. 

I am also reminded of the Divine Mercy which Lord Jesus promised through Saint Faustina. I think it is supernatural grace of God that gives me this insight - I learnt (much to my surprise) that the enemies of the Church refer to the unbelievers. We might be fighting the strangest wars because we are fighting for our enemies, not against them. Our main warfare is not to destroy the enemies but to defeat their own convictions that do not lead them to God, and then convert them. The devil wishes to take all of them together with him to eternal damnation. Lord Jesus already defeated him through His Cross. Now, He put us in charge of bringing souls to Him through our Mother Church. This is what our war means - to enlarge the Church and bring the souls to eternal communion with Most Holy Trinity, One God through Lord Jesus Christ. I am pretty confident in Almighty God. Since He had already found me,  He can win the conversion of the whole world. I am pretty sure of that! Praise the Lord, my soul. All my being, praise His Holy Name and never forget how Kind He is. 

"All the evils of the world are due to lukewarm Catholics." - Saint Pope Pius V

"You poured down, O God, a generous rain: when Your people were starved You gave them new life. It was there that Your people found a home, prepared in Your Goodness, O God, for the poor. May the Lord be blessed day after day. He bears our burdens, God our Saviour. This God of ours is a God who saves. The Lord our God holds the keys of death. Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God." 
Psalsm 67: 10-11, 20-21, 33
