“The observance of Lent is the very badge of Christian warfare. By it we prove ourselves not to be enemies of Christ. By it we avert the scourges of divine justice. By it we gain strength against the princes of darkness, for it shields us with heavenly help. Should men grow remiss in their observance of Lent, it would be a detriment to God’s glory, a disgrace to the Catholic religion, and a danger to Christian souls. Neither can it be doubted that such negligence would become the source of misery to the world, of public calamity, and of private woe.” MenWorldShouldSoulHelpingWould BeChristianGrowsChristJusticeEnemyDarknessDangerDivineSourceProveGloryGainsCatholicMiseryHeavenlyWarfareWoeCalamityDisgraceShieldsDoubtedBadgesScourgeNegligenceObservanceAvertDivine JusticeCatholic Religion Author:Pope Benedict XIV
“If you want to know what to do with a thief that you may find stealing, I say kill him on the spot, and never suffer him to commit another iniquity. I will prove by my works whether I can mete out justice to such persons, or not. I would consider it just as much my duty to do that, as to baptize a man for the remission of his sins.” IfsKnowsMenWantMayPersonsI CanSufferingJusticeSinDutyProveStealingCommitSpotsThievesIniquityRemission Author:Brigham Young

“The world was created because God willed it, but why did He will it? Judaism has maintained, in all of its versions, that this world is the arena that God created for man, half beast and half angel; to prove that he could be a moral being...man was given dominion over nature, but he was commanded to behave towards the rest of creation with justice and compassion.
