The sword of Divine justice buried in His sinless heart! (Henry Law) Holy Father,We blush to lift up our eyes unto You, O God of all grace and love. Shame and confusion of face humble us to the very dust. Wherever You have been boundless in mercy-we have been abundant in sin! We cannot measure our ingratitude. We […]
“Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
