“In marriage, as the marriage law declares, the man and woman come together for the procreation of children. Therefore whoever makes the procreation of children a greater sin than copulation, forbids marriage, and makes the woman not a wife, but a mistress, who for some gifts presented to her is joined to the man to gratify his passion. Where there is a wife there must be marriage. But there is no marriage where motherhood is not in view; therefore neither is there a wife.”

(Saint Augustine, On the Morals of the Manichaeans, xviii, 65)

“For God, the Lord of life, has conferred on men the surpassing ministry of safeguarding life in a manner which is worthy of man…. The sexual characteristics of man and the human faculty of reproduction wonderfully exceed the dispositions of lower forms of life. Hence the acts themselves which are proper to conjugal love and which are exercised in accord with genuine human dignity must be honored with great reverence.

“Hence when there is question of harmonizing conjugal love with the responsible transmission of life, the moral aspects of any procedure does not depend solely on sincere intentions or on an evaluation of motives, but must be determined by objective standards. These, based on the nature of the human person and his acts, preserve the full sense of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love. Such a goal cannot be achieved unless the virtue of conjugal chastity is sincerely practiced. Relying on these principles, sons of the Church may not undertake methods of birth control which are found blameworthy by the teaching authority of the Church in its unfolding of the divine law.

“All should be persuaded that human life and the task of transmitting it are not realities bound up with this world alone. Hence they cannot be measured or perceived only in terms of it, but always have a bearing on the eternal destiny of men.”

(Second Vatican Council, Pastoral Constitution “Gaudium et Spes”, 51)

“[I]t is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it (cf. Rom 3:8) — in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general”

(Pope Paul VI, Humanae Vitae, No. 14, as quoted by Pope St. John Paul II, Veritatis Splendor, No. 80)

26 Thursday Mar 2020

≈ Leave a comment


An Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,

and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;

but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.

Amen.

See these online texts and media on the forgiveness of sins, especially mortal sins, outside the Sacrament of Penance / Reconciliation–for persons who, due to illness, quarantines, lockdowns, or other just and sufficient reasons, are unable to reach a priest of the one true and Catholic Church with faculty to hear confessions, or even a priest exceptionally allowed to hear the confession of penitents in danger of death):

The Catholic eBooks Project

Provides a library of links to Christian ebooks and texts that may be read online or downloaded LEGALLY and for FREE, and are FAITHFUL to the truths that God entrusted to His one true Church.

The Project is dedicated to the Incarnate Logos:

“In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum… Et Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis… gratia et veritas per Jesum Christum facta est.” (S. Joannem i, 1, 14, 17)

“Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum: hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur… et regnabit in domo Jacob in æternum, et regni ejus non erit finis.” (S. Lucam i, 31-33)

Prayer for the Church

O God, our refuge and our strength, look down with mercy upon the people who cry to Thee; and by the intercession of the glorious and immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Saint Joseph her spouse, of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all the saints, in Thy mercy and goodness hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners, and for the liberty and exaltation of the Holy Mother the Church. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. (From the text of the Leonine Prayers after Low Mass at Sancta Missa)
