FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Feast of St. Maria Goretti (1902), Virgin, Martyr

Dear Father:

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in an essay on Prudence the following:

"Every Violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but a stabb at the health of human society."

This is even more true in the Truth is Jesus Christ. Every violence done to truth, no matter how small or large, is a violence perpetrated upon our Lord Jesus Christ.

If we wish to know why our society is so sick in this age, or why the Internet community is so sick, we need look no further than this quote from Emerson to find the answer.
