We must endure the hardships

[Thomas_muntzer]

If they crucified Jesus, the Head of the Church, what will they not do to the Church, which is His Body?

If they persecuted the prophets who spoke to them in their own language and the Apostles who testified to them with great wonders and miracles, what will they not do to us, Gentiles who believe according to the flesh?

If they mock Mary, blaspheme the Messiah, and laugh, saying, "Where is your Christ? We killed him, and he never returns, as he said?" Then they will not say of us and our children that we have not even come close to the heels of the holy martyrs?

But take heart: Christ has conquered, and will continue to conquer, all His enemies, not with war tanks and human power, but with a bloody Cross: His immaculate blood, which takes away the sin of the world.

Saint John the Apostle:

– "Look, he is coming with clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Yes. Amen" (Revelation 1:7)

He said they mock Mary, which a lot of people almost do by making her almost insignificant.
