“Evolutionists see in this gradation [of organic things] evidence that the ‘higher forms’ of life developed from the ‘lower forms.’ What they ought to see is not that one thing evolved from another, but that all things came from the same Maker, who, like human artists, inclines to repeat and re-apply and develop the same ideas in one thing and another.”
– Fr. James Wathen
God the Father made mankind and all creatures through the Son; and again, when we were fordone, he sent that same Son for our redemption. The holy mother Mary then nourished that child with great veneration, and it waxed, as other children do, without any sin.
“Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.”

All that’s hidden shall be plain,
Nothing shall unjudged remain.”
