A Lecture: Delivered in St. George's Catholic Cathedral
Excerpt from A Lecture: Delivered in St. George's Catholic Cathedral
The meaning of these words, my dear brethren, is very simple they signify that there is no compromise with error, that there is no sacrifice ever to be made of truth. Our Blessed Redeemer's public conduct as a teacher shows a peculiar mixture of two distinct characters: on the one hand, a mildness, a gentleness, a forbearance beyond limits, and on the other, a stern ness, and an uncompromising and unflinching deter mination. He bore, Himself, any amount of personal abuse and obloquy, and misrepresentation. He allowed Himself to be ill-treated in every possible way. He Opposed to this, nothing but that meekness and mildness which overcame all the power of his enemies.
