“We have torn up Marxist materialism and we have disorientated Masonry. We have thwarted the Satanic machinations of the clandestine Masonic superstate. Despite its control of the world’s press and numerous international politicians. Spain’s struggle is a Crusade; as soldiers of God we carry with us the evangelism of the world!”

“Yet men sought us despite this.”

R.S. Thomas (1913–2000) Welsh poet

"A Welsh Testament"
Tares (1961)
Context: Yet men sought us despite this.
My high cheek-bones, my length of skull
Drew them as to a rare portrait
By a dead master. I saw them stare
From their long cars, as I passed knee-deep
In ewes and wethers. I saw them stand
By the thorn hedges, watching me string
The far flocks on a shrill whistle.
And always there was their eyes; strong
Pressure on me: You are Welsh, they said;
Speak to us so; keep your fields free
Of the smell of petrol, the loud roar
Of hot tractors; we must have peace
And quietness.

“Hope is always alive once we realize that God is there despite all the challenges that are really giving us all the suffering.”

Emanuel Hana Shaleta (1956) prelate of the Chaldean Catholic Church
