Johann Sebastian Bach, Fugue in C Minor, BWV 906, played by Edith Picht-Axenfeld. The fugue remained unfinished, yet it is still one of my favorite works by Bach.

"A cheerful spirit strengthens the heart and makes us persevering in a good life." / "Whoever lives in anger, strife, and bitterness has a foretaste of hell." (from the "Maxims" of St. Philip Neri)
Obiectum virtutis theologalis caritatis refertur ad Deum et omnes homines (adhuc in terra viventes) tamquam filios (saltem naturales) Dei. Ad praecavendas obiectiones iam bene notas: Haec est doctrina etiam in Catechismo Concilii Tridentini (Catechismo Romano) dilucide exposita.
Deum vere diligere non possumus, quin hic amor in fratrum sororumque caritatem redundet. Neque proximum nostrum vere diligere possumus, nisi tamquam filii unius eiusdemque Patris, qui nos prior in Filio suo Iesu dilexit. #EvangeliumHodiernum (Mt 22, 34-40)

"If Jesus Christ does not reign through the blessings inseparable from his presence, he will reign through the damages unavoidably caused by his absence." (Louis-Édouard Cardinal Pie)
From the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Lobith, Netherlands, recently taken over by the FSSP with the approval of the Archdiocese of Utrecht:
The wicked protest, wail and cry,
Christ Jesus’ reign they would deny;
Rejoice we at thy glorious name,
Thou Highest King we do proclaim.
All glory be, Jesus, to thee,
Thy scepter over all that be;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
(Brev. Rom.)
"It would be a grave error (...) to say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since, by virtue of the absolute empire over all creatures committed to him by the Father, all things are in his power." (Pope Pius XI, Quas Primas; vatican.va/content/pius-xi/e…)
"In adversities we must say: Let us leave it to God; blessed be the Lord always; what He wills I will too, in time and in eternity." (St. Paul of the Cross)
"O God, Who didst give thy blessed Archangel Raphael unto thy servant Tobias to be his fellow wayfarer, grant unto us, thy servants, that the same may ever keep and shield us, help and defend us." (Missale Romanum)

"Democracy is not necessarily a perfect solution to everything." "Democracy remains healthy, however, only when rooted in the moral law and a true vision of the human person. Lacking this foundation, it risks becoming (...) a majoritarian tyranny (...)." (Pope Leo XIV)

In 1997, Jesuit priest Fr. John Hardon issued a sobering warning about Communion in the hand.
Speaking at the Call to Holiness Conference in Detroit, he stated:
“Behind Communion in the hand — I wish to repeat and make as plain as I can — is a weakening, a conscious, deliberate weakening of faith in the Real Presence.”
He concluded his remarks with this appeal:
“Whatever you can do to stop Communion in the hand will be blessed by God.”
For Fr. Hardon, this was not merely a debate over liturgical preferences. It was a battle over belief in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
When reverence for the Eucharist is lost, belief in the Real Presence soon follows.
Servant of God, Fr. John A Hardon, pray for us.
Side note: Democracy in practice: WHO cites 1% clinically insane & 10–15% mentally ill. As diagnostic benchmarks (e.g. Schmidt-Atzert/Amelang) dictate, 15.87% possess a below-average IQ (<85). Add an unquantifiable mass of gravely morally deviant individuals. Good luck with that!
