The CRUCIFIXION

[THE ROMAN CATECHISM, Article IV] The Passion
The First Gift of the Holy Ghost -- The Gift of Fear
of the Lord
The Gift of Fear is the beginning of Wisdom
The gift of Fear fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us dread nothing so much as to
offend Him by sin. It is a fear that arises, not from the thought of hell, but from sentiments of reverence
and filial submission to our heavenly Father. It is the fear that is the beginning of wisdom, detaching us
from worldly pleasures that could in any way separate us from God. "They that fear the Lord will prepare
their hearts, and in His sight will sanctify their souls."
Come, O blessed Spirit of Holy Fear, penetrate my inmost heart, that I may set you, my Lord and God,
before my face forever, help me to shun all things that can offend You, and make me worthy to appear
before the pure eyes of Your Divine Majesty in heaven, where You live and reign in the unity of the ever
Blessed Trinity, God world without end. Amen.

The Seventh Gift of the Holy Ghost -- The Gift of Wisdom
Embodying all the other gifts, as charity embraces all other virtues,
Wisdom is the most perfect of the gifts. Of wisdom it is written "all good things came to
me with her, and innumerable riches through her hands."
It is the gift of Wisdom that strengthens our faith, fortifies hope, perfects charity, and
promotes the practice of virtue in the highest degree. Wisdom enlightens the mind to
discern and relish things divine, in the appreciation of which earthly joys lose their savor,
whilst the Cross of Christ yields adivine sweetness according to the words of the Savior:
"Take up thy cross and follow Me, for My yoke is sweet, and My burden light."
Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, and reveal to my soul the mysteries of heavenly things, their
exceeding greatness, power and beauty. Teach me to love them above and beyond all
passing joys and satisfactions of the earth. Help me to attain them and possess them
for ever. Amen
The Church and the Cactholic Faith
Kingdoms and empires have passed away; peoples once renowned for their history and civilization
have disappeared; time and again the nations, as though overwhelmed by the weight of years, have fallen asunder;
while the Church, indefectible in her essence, united by ties indissoluble with her heavenly Spouse, is here today
radiant with eternal youth, strong with the same primitive vigor with which she came from the Heart of Christ dead
upon the Cross. Men powerful in the world have risen up against her. They have disappeared, and she remains. Philosophical
systems without number, of every form and every kind, rose up against her, arrogantly vaunting themselves her masters,
as though they had at last destroyed the doctrine of the Church, refuted the dogmas of her faith, proved the absurdity
of her teachings. But those systems, one after another, have passed into books of history, forgotten, bankrupt;
while from the Rock of Peter the light of truth shines forth as brilliantly as on the day when Jesus first kindled
it on His appearance in the world, and fed it with His Divine words: "Heaven and earth shall pass, but my
words shall not pass" (Matth. xxiv. 35).
We, strengthened by this faith, firmly established on this rock, realizing to the full all the heavy duties that
the Primacy imposes on Us - but also all the vigor that comes to Us from the Divine Will - calmly wait until all
the voices be scattered to the winds that now shout around Us proclaiming that the Church has gone beyond her time,
that her doctrines are passed away for ever, that the day is at hand when she will be condemned either to accept
the tenets of a godless science and civilization or to disappear from human society. Yet at the same time We cannot
but remind all, great and small, as Pope St. Gregory did, of the absolute necessity of having recourse to this
Church in order to have eternal salvation, to follow the right road of reason, to feed on the truth, to obtain
peace and even happiness in this life.

Encyclical of POPE PIUS X on POPE GREGORY THE GREAT, March 12, 1904

In heaven Jesus still carries the scar of that wound in His Sacred
Heart, pierced by the spear of Longinus,
which speaks eloquently of the greatest love the world will ever know.
