What ended past crises in the Church?

by-grace-of-god:

When a silk merchant’s son chose to follow Lady Poverty instead of the troubadours. 

When a cathedral canon chose to become a wandering preacher. 

When a dyer’s daughter chose to take the veil. 

When a soldier chose to fight a different war.

When I feel powerless, as so much of this is beyond my influence, I remember that God purifies His Church by raising up saints, often from unexpected places. What can I do? I can become a saint, so that He might do with me as He wills. Because there is no justice without virtue.

Fr. Brendan Laroche

St. Francis, St. Dominic, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Ignatius, pray for us!
