THE MUCH-MALIGNED, GLORIOUS VIRTUE OF PURITY

How a run-of-the-mill, random, confessor saved my spiritua life! Léon Bloy (1846-1917), the novelist, poet, and fervent Catholic convert, had a notoriously foul temper, categorically refused to get a day job, alienated many of his fellow literati, and burned with love for Christ. In "Pilgrim of the Absolute," a collection of diary entries, he wrote: Every man who begets a free act projects his personality into the infinite. If he gives a poor man a penny grudgingly, that penny pierces the poor man’s hand, falls, pierces the earth, bores holes in suns, crosses the firmament and compromises the universe. If he begets an impure act, he perhaps darkens thousands of hearts whom he does not know, who are mysteriously linked to him, and who need this man to be pure as a traveler dying of thirst needs the Gospel’s draught of water. A charitable act, an impulse of real pity sings for him the divine praises, from the time of Adam to the end of the ages; it cures the sick, consoles those in despair, calms storms, ransoms prisoners, converts the infidel and protects mankind." NB: I actually do know that the Salve Regina IS the Haily, Holy Queen HUGE APOLOGY: To those who have already viewed the video and were probably deeply puzzled: I initially accidentally uploaded the wrong video. All shoud be right now. Many thanks. THUMBNAIL IMAGE: "THE INCREDULITY OF SAINT THOMAS," CARAVAGGIO, 1601-1602
