The Doctors Speak...Light, Life and Love (9)

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

St. Anthony of Padua
 
An admonition to those who are deprived
of true light, life and love

The beasts of the field are the demons, the beasts of the forest are the movements of the flesh, which devour the Church and the faithful soul. Why is this? Surely because the watchmen of the Church are all blind, deprived of the light of life and knowledge. They are dumb dogs, with the devil’s sop in their mouths, and so unable to bark against the wolf. They see vain things, because they preach for money; seeking contrition from souls while shamefully saying, Peace, peace. And there is no peace [Jer 6.14; Ezek 13.10]. They sleep in their sins, they love dreams, those temporal things which delude those who love them. They are most impudent dogs, having a harlot’s forehead, refusing to blush [Jer 3.3].

Sincerely yours in Jesus through Mary,
Mike Rizzio

Imitate Mary
Become like Jesus
Live for the Triune God

Seek the Light of Our Lord Jesus Christ
See you on the High Ground!
