“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

“All perfect things are saddening in effect. The autumn wood robed in its scarlet clothes, The matchless tinting on the royal rose Whose velvet leaf by no least flaw is flecked. Love's supreme moment, when the soul unchecked Soars high as heaven, and its best rapture knows, These hold a deeper pathos than our woes, Since they leave nothing better to expect.” KnowsSoulMomentsHeavenPerfectEffectsClothesPerfectionRoseDeeperWoodsSupremeAutumnFlawsLeafsWoeSoarRoyalRaptureVelvetScarletPathosPerfect ThingsSaddening Book:Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition) Source: Leafs On An Idle Breeze - My Inspirational Poems (Annotated Edition)
