Someone who holds firmly to untruth is in danger of the 'poison' escaping and contaminating every other thought - as when a leaking jar ruins a store-cupboard.

A wise Catholic knows that all truths 'fit' together, as bricks into a wall. She does not try to fit odd stones into the wall - by writing or sharing dissenting teachings, or by contradicting God's laws.

Catholic editors have a great responsibility to see that truth is predominant in their pages, and not falsehood, heresy, or distortion that can lead souls astray and that are like stains upon the columns we read.

Christ appeared before me, his arm held up to indicate the pulpit where, he told me, truth is spoken about God and Man.

Untrue or malicious statements about aspects of the Catholic Faith endanger the hearers like dangerous missiles; they threaten spiritual lives.

If we shrink from sacrifice, we should reflect on the truth, that everything we value on earth shall be surrendered at death; yet everything worthy of Heaven - people too - shall be found 'in Christ' in Eternity. Christ, today, can give us the grace to see life from the standpoint of eternity.

The Truth About Sanctity: A man might foolishly try to impress a woman by his physical strength; similarly, a foolish Christian might try to 'impress' God by exhausting work and loud praises, instead of sincere love.

Some priests need much help. They are unwilling or afraid to teach the whole truth that they were called to preach and teach. Their work will be as unsuccessful as the work of an artist who, claiming to draw a camel, draws only three camel's legs, and one leg of a horse. The creature, if it could walk, would give an uncomfortable ride.

Where untruths or distortions of truth are included in programmes of Catechesis, or in Catholic talks and journals, it's as if people are being offered, at a party, a plate which holds drawing pins as well as nuts. Serious spiritual injury can result from poor or poisonous nutrition.

The pure truth of the gospel, like a shining thread, appears in one age to be extreme in one way, and in another age to be extreme in another way, but is visible for all who wish to see it.

God is Truth, and when we speak truth to Him in prayer, it pleases Him, and we draw closer to Him, even as we say, perhaps, "I can't cope", or "Nobody loves me", or "I'm addicted", or "I hate those people", or "I'm afraid", or "I'm ashamed to look at you".

God recommends that we pray truthful prayers, such as: I'm afraid, or I can't cope, or I feel unloved, or I am a slave to this habit, or I need your help.

Priests should be like Christ, Who invited people to repent of their sins. It is not for priests to act solely as counsellors and comforters, without also speaking the truth about the serious sins which can entrap us.

Catholic priests should indeed give us good advice. Yet their principle purpose in the confessional, in the sacrament of Penance, is to forgive our sins. They are not ordained to be like secular counsellors.

There are martyrs for truth in every age. These three saints - Thomas More, Charles Lwanga and Maria Goretti - stood against sin, and defended the truth of marriage, of morality, and of chastity.
