Here's a sufficient reason to be pleasant to everyone: most are bound for hell. Most every person we meet, even our closest relatives, are bound for hell. They'll suffer eternally. So why cause them any pain now?

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.

We must save ourselves, all those for whom we have a duty to pray, and our Families.

THIS ARTICLE IS SO VITAL.

PLEASE READ IT.

Do you not think that your halfhearted condescending pleasantries will not cause them even greater grief in Hell when they meditate upon what they have lost in this life?

This is far more important subject that needs to be stressed then Cardinal
Dolan's saying that women can be cardinals.
How many Catholic's contemplate more about their eternal destination instead following the spirit of the world in the novus ordo.

I think this is a sufficient reason for us to pray and do penance ceaselessly and devoutly, so that we may attain to the grace of imitating the virtues of Our Lord and of His Blessed Mother in our daily lives, so that we may draw others to the Church by our own example more than by our words; and thereby make fitting reparation for their offenses, that Our Lady may vouchsafe them the grace of contrition and that the wrath of Our Lord may be appeased.

How few of us know how to do true penance?

That's a scary question.

I think the present crisis might be prolonged because of our lack of holiness. If we attain to personal holiness, many people will be saved with us because a man is not an island. If we lose our souls, there is quite a chance that others will perish with us. Our responsibility is very great, but if we co-operate with the grace of God, aided by the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Saints, we can reach the prize of eternal salvation. Let this be our only desire, let us be consumed with thirst for the Kingdom of God. For the sake of our own souls, and for those of others.
