List of points
'The Mass is long', you say, and I add: 'Because your love is short.'
'Treat him well for me, treat him well'! Words, mingled with tears, of a certain venerable bishop to the priests he had just ordained.
Would that I had the power, Lord, and the authority to repeat that same cry in the ears and in the hearts of many, many Christians!
Piety has its own good manners. Learn them. It's a shame to see those 'pious' people who don't know how to attend Mass — even though they go daily, — nor how to bless themselves (they throw their hands about in the weirdest fashion), nor how to bend the knee before the Tabernacle (their ridiculous genuflections seem a mockery), nor how to bow their heads reverently before a picture of our Lady.
Child, don't lose your loving habit of 'storming' Tabernacles.
