BLACK ADVENT - 1964 by H. Howell

Dear Family,

I have never spent such a black Advent before; felt as though I died that First Sunday of Advent when officially the Mass was changed. We’re past the point of no return and I tremble for the future chaos that could happen to our Holy Faith. Never thought it would go this far. The attached copies of letters were sent to several priests with a copy to our Pope with Christmas cards. 


The Wanderer has mentioned our Holy Father (Pope Paul VI) was seen weeping at the dissension in the Church and the verbal attacks made against him by the liberal element. My Advent has been spent doing all I can to win souls for Christ by prayer, sacrifice and daily Masses, the best Christmas we can give Him; I’m so aware to that our Mass could become obscured altogether and I want to take advantage of the privilege as long as possible. 


We must do more and inspire others too; the situation is serious but God can do nothing for us until we heed His Mothers wishes. Never before has  it become so important to root yourself deeply in the Faith, a building of a Kingdom of God within. . Pray, pray much, especially the family Rosary for world peace. 


Love,
