Celebrating a pontifical high Mass in Croatia, Archbishop Cordileone said this in a talk before the liturgy:
“The renewal of Western civilization begins, therefore, with the renewal of the Mass…. The Mass is truly the heart and foundation of that civilization. Moreover, it offers us a unique opportunity in the time in which we live,” the archbishop said as part of a speech before the Mass.
“People can argue, ‘You have your truth, and I have mine,’ but when it comes to beauty, the arguments stop. Beauty touches a person in an intuitive way, bypassing logical arguments – or, more often, illogicalities – and thus prepares the soil of the human soul for the seed of truth,” he added. “People can deliberately close their eyes to all the good the Church does for the world, but it is difficult to deny beauty when it is before us.”
We are in the throes of what looks like World War III in the making. The best prescription for peace is the Eucharist and the rosary. Let us beg God for mercy and fast and pray that the demons of violence and murder will be driven back to the pit of hell. Let us all do something today to advance truth and beauty.
