On a dark night, kindled in love with yearnings-oh, happy chance!- I went forth without being observed, my house being now at rest. In darkness and secure, by the secret ladder, disguised-oh, happy chance!- In darkness and in concealment, my house being now at rest. In the happy night, In secret, when none saw me, nor I beheld aught, without light or guide, save that which burned in my heart. This light guided me more surely than the light of noonday to the place where he (well I knew who!) was awaiting me- A place where none appeared. Oh, night that guided me, oh, night more lovely than the dawn, oh, night that joined Beloved with lover, Lover transformed in the Beloved!' . . . Begins the exposition of the stanzas which treat of the way and manner Therefore the symbol of the six-winged Seraph signifies the six stages of illumination, which begin with God's creatures and lead up to God, to Whom no one can enter properly save through the Crucified. For he who does not enter by the door but otherwise, he is a thief and a robber [John, 10, 1]. But if anyone does enter by this door, he shall go in and go out and shall find pastures [John, 9]. Because of this John says in his Apocalypse [22, 14], "Blessed are they that wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb, that they may have a right to the Tree of Life and may enter in by the gates into the City"; as if he were to say that one cannot enter into the heavenly Jerusalem through contemplation unless one enter through the blood of the Lamb as through a gate.'

Saints: The Story of the Church of Jesus Christ in the Latter Days: Volume 2: No Unhallowed Hand: 1846–1893 (LDS Church, February 12, 2020.)Now, in 2017, a third controversial book is emerging, one that may be instrumental in the formation of US foreign policy. Jean Raspail's apocalyptic 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints describes the destruction of Western Civilization by the third-world refugee masses that overwhelm the "white race." What is more beautiful than that chastity which renders clean the being conceived from uncleanness, changes enmity into friendship, and men into angels? The angel and the chaste man differ indeed in point of felicity, but not of virtue. For if the chastity of the one be happier, that of the other is stronger. It is chastity alone which in this mortal state, represents a kind of immortality. That alone, which, amidst the nuptial solemnities, imitates the method of that blessed and heavenly region, where they neither marry nor are married, giving us an imperfect relish of the divine and heavenly conversation there enjoyed among the blessed. This frail vessel which here we carry with us, and in which we are in danger, chastity sanctifies, not unlike the sweet scented balsams wherewith dead bodies are embalmed and preserved from corruption. It curbs the senses, restrains the faculties of the body, and preserves the whole man from the contamination and loose desires attending idleness.' There isn't enough money to simply spread it around, the usual liberal panacea, but the West could assert itself and stop patronizing dictators particularly those in places like Mexico that are oil rich with third world economies and instead, make life uncomfortable for them as they continue to squeeze their own people for their own benefit. a b "Fast facts about ‘Saints’ — the new history of the LDS Church", The Salt Lake Tribune, 4 September 2018.

Virgins who have the happiness of dedicating them selves to the love of Jesus Christ by consecrating to him the lily of their purity, are, in the first place, as dear to God as his angels. . . a certain virgin, called Georgia, was at the point of death a great multitude of doves was seen hovering about her; that when her body was brought to the church they flew to that part of the roof which corresponded to the place where the corpse had been put, and remained there till after the interment.

[2] Its authors, British historian Paul Kennedy and Columbia professor Matthew Connelly further wrote, "many members of the more prosperous economies are beginning to agree with Raspail's vision". [26] Later reception [ edit ] Some, no doubt, will say to me that it is useless to explain the psalms after so many illustrious interpreters have done so. I declare, however, that it has not been useless as far as I myself am concerned; since, in consequence of this work, I recite my breviary with much more attention than formerly when there were many passages that I did not understand; I hope that the same may happen to many other persons.' On its publication, the book received praise from prominent French literary figures, [5] [6] and through time has also been praised by critics and politicians in Europe and the United States, but has also been criticized by both French- and English-language commentators for conveying themes described as racism, [2] [7] [8] [9] xenophobia, nativism, monoculturalism, and anti-immigration content.

She is so full of love that no one who asks for her intercession is rejected, no matter how sinful he may be. The saints say that it has never been known since the world began that anyone had recourse to our Blessed Lady, with trust and perseverance, and was rejected. Her power is so great that her prayers are never refused. She has but to appear in prayer before her Son and he at once welcomes her and grants her requests. He is always lovingly conquered by the prayers of the dear Mother who bore him and nourished him.' McCombs, Brady.

But not to be too flip, I am concerned that we have people, in our country of immigrants, that don't recognize and appreciate how culture, like language, grows and changes. What is white culture anyways? How many of us are actually purely white, or purely anything? Who doesn't eat food or listen to music or look at art that has come from other countries and mish mashed with what we have here already? Colors of skin have been changing all along and always will.

Do you listen to the voice of God, our heavenly Father, pronouncing his three-fold malediction on all who follow the desires of the world: "Woe, woe, woe to all the people on earth;" the Father who stretches out his arms to you in loving appeal, "Come out, my chosen people," dear friends of my Son's Cross, away from worldlings, who have been cursed by myself, rejected by my Son, and condemned by my Holy Spirit? Beware of following their counsels, of sitting in their company, or even lingering on the road they take. Hasten away from the infamous Babylon.

In short, the story has fleets of thousands of ships carrying millions of desperately poor people from India and Southeast Asia and China, heading for the "rich" areas of the world populated by whites: France, Australia, Russia. These throngs have nothing to lose and have decided to find a better life in these lands of endless milk and honey (as they envision them) or die trying. The book focuses on the fleet from India, which sails around the Cape of Good Hope and washes up on the southern coast of France, and on the attitudes of the Frenchmen who know that disaster is coming: politicians too paralyzed by political correctness to stop them, and leftist journalists and political activists who hate their own civilization and cheer on the invaders, and help to impose the paralysis of the leaders.
