“THE holy season of Lent is fast advancing; the choicest graces are daily being offered us; woe to the man whose mind is distracted by the fashion of this world that passeth away, and takes no thought for eternity and heaven, and even in this time of grace, is like tamarick, a worthless weed of the desert. Oh, how numerous is this class! and how terrible is their spiritual indifference! Pray for them, of ye faithful children of the Church, pray for them without ceasing. Offer up your penances and almsgivings for them. Despair not; and remember that each year, many straying sheep are brought to the fold by such intercession such as this.”

— Dom Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year
