Lord with the Psalmist: "Often have they fought against me from my youth, but they could not prevail over me."
Brethren, speaking one day to His Apostles Christ said: " But the Son of man when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth? " Little indeed shall He find of that perfect faith that availeth to salvation, for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets who shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. Still, the Church is indestructible, and though the majority give up the faith, some few there will be who shall hold fast unto the coming of their Lord. Let this be our faith, our hope, to cling fast lovingly to the old true Church, that when her Lord shall say to her: "Arise, My beloved and come," we too may ascend with her to sing forever more: " Glory, honor and benediction to the Most High in the happy Church triumphant."
