Padre Pio used to say that the earth could exist more easily without the sun than without the Mass, and it is true. This Mass which is great and powerful enough to obtain from God leniency, patience and mercy for a world which seems to be losing its mind.

Just awesome, and I haven't even finished reading the whole thing!

Humanly speaking, it is insane to send a priest into the world today; you might just as well command a man to oppose a gigantic wave caused by an earthquake, these waves which can be thirty or fifty meters high. Your task is something like that today: to oppose a world that is enraged, unleashed against God. And yet, here, once again, it is your faith which will tell you that God, when he sends you to these souls out in the world, will give you everything you need to be victorious, to save these souls.
