"When we see the repeated victories
of our infernal foes, we may well wonder, in our anxiety, where to look for the
salvation of our society. When will it be the Church’s turn to win a few
battles? The answer is easy: we can say
with Our Lord, “This kind is not cast
out but by prayer and fasting.” It will be our turn when the ranks of the
clergy and of the religious orders will have begun to produce a body of
mortified men who will make the great splendor of the mystery of the Cross
blaze in the eyes of all peoples: and the nations
of the earth, seeing, in mortified priests and religious, how reparation is made for the sins of the
world, will also understand the Redemption of the world by the Precious Blood
of Jesus and the ages of human history will no longer echo with the
terrible anguished cry of our outraged Lord – that cry that will at last have
found some to make reparation: “And I sought among them for a man that might
set up a hedge, and stand the gap before Me in favor of the land, that I might
not destroy it I found none.”
