Whoever would have thought to see a picture of Chairman Mao's Little Red Book on a Catholic blog? Our good but somewhat variable Holy Father astonishes us time and again with a pithy phrase which goes to the heart of very important matters. Such is the case with his recent exhortational homily at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, reported in the Catholic Herald. In a situation of sin, or even faced with a temptation to it, "Run away and do not look back!"
Repeatedly, the Holy Father's concentrated words offer us spiritual and moral wisdom in a very practical form. This is a pope whose epigrammatic sayings could prove most edifying when gathered together in a little book. Or do you remember those desk calendars some people used to have on their office desks, with a motto for each day? People still like a proper calendar: not everything is better for being online.
Catholic Truth Society, over to you!
