St. Thomas Becket, bishop of Canterbury, martyred 1170 A.D"The world is rapidly being divided into two camps, the comradeship of anti-Christ and the brotherhood of Christ. The lines between these two are being drawn. How long the battle will be we know not; whether swords will have to be unsheathed we know not; whether blood will have to be shed we know not; whether it will be an armed conflict we know not. But in a conflict between truth and darkness, truth cannot lose." —Bishop Fulton John Sheen, D.D. (1895-1979)
The devil and his minions do indeed prowl about the world seeking for those they can devour.
We must repent all our sins, forgive all who have ever harmed us, go to confession and pray for the strength to lead holy lives. Never quit, never give up, hold fast to your Catholic faith even if the entire world stands against you. It matter not one bit what others think of you - care ONLY about what God thinks of you. Seek to please Him and Him alone.
To those who have fear - Fear not for the Lord your God will rescue you from the hands of your enemies! By His mighty arm you will be saved! Do not be afraid! Do not trade the salvation of your soul for the ashes of comforts of this life. How sad will be the soul on Judgment Day who does this! We must not apostasize, no matter the worldly consequence.
"Death but not sin!" ~St. Dominic Savio

Each dedicated Catholic needs to read these paragraphs over and over.....fear, anarchy and rebellion are everywhere....only in Christ and His Holy Mother will we find peace of soul as everywhere around us we seem to be descending further into chaos and division.

Persecution will be upon us so quickly we will barely see it coming. We must stay awake, watch and pray. Pray we do not fall asleep like the apostles in the garden!
