Fr. Wathen: 28 points to consider on Baptism of Desire

Here is a small piece that I wrote, taking the 28 points made by Fr. Wathen in his volume, "I Know Mine and Mine Know Me."

These is an incredible point:

24. It is impossible for us to know or understand God’s dealings with all others; we understand poorly God’s dealing with ourselves.

No doubt, this one hit hard with me when I read it. Classic Padre Wathen.

9. If any man is not saved, it is because he chose not to be saved.
I've enjoyed Fr Wathen's spiritual advice ever since someone recommended his talk on human respect. The above hits home having had a former coworker enquire about the Faith (he was Protestant), as you can state "outside the Church there is no salvation" on repeat to them, but it never sinks in for them.
