A Short Reflection

Passive aggressive behavior is possibly the most sickening of any demeanor. It deceives the other party and causes a bitter line to be drawn from which only an evil fruit is born. Anyone who displays such conduct deserves neither friendship nor pleasantries in daily life, but merits only to be shunned by those he has assaulted with his own malice that he ever so loves.

Venerable Pius XII

The formidable Prince of God, who solemny defined the Dogma of the Assumption of Mary, ex cathedra. He is greatly remembered as the Pope who reigned during the turbulent years of World War II. A defender of the faith, he is quoted saying, "I hear around me reformers who want to dismantle the Holy Sanctuary, destroy the universal flame of the Church, to discard all her adornments, and smite her with remorse for her historic past". Now given the title 'Venerable', his path to Beatification and Sainthood is imminent. By the Grace of God, he will surely be raised to the honors of our altars.
