The modernists infected by this way of thinking in fact denied Paul VI's express wishes:

MEMORIALE DOMINI

Instruction on the Manner of Distributing Holy Communion

Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship

Issued on May 29, 1969.

"Three questions were asked of the bishops, and the replies received by 12 March 1969 were as follows:

1. Do you think that attention should be paid to the desire that, over and above the traditional manner, the rite of receiving holy communion on the hand should be admitted?

Yes: 597
No: 1,233
Yes, but with reservations: 315
Invalid votes: 20

2. Is it your wish that this new rite be first tried in small communities, with the consent of the bishop?

Yes: 751
No: 1,215
Invalid votes, 70

3. Do you think that the faithful will receive this new rite gladly, after a proper catechetical preparation?

Yes: 835
No: 1,185
Invalid votes: 128

From the returns it is clear that the vast majority of bishops believe that the present discipline should not be changed, and that if it were, the change would be offensive to the sentiments and the spiritual culture of these bishops and of many of the faithful.

Therefore, taking into account the remarks and the advice of those whom "the Holy Spirit has placed to rule over" the Churches,[11] in view of the gravity of the matter and the force of the arguments put forward, the Holy Father has decided not to change the existing way of administering holy communion to the faithful."

“‘The Mass is long,’ you say, and I reply: ‘Because your love is short.’”

“And we have this confidence in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.”

It's easy to sympathize with the poor when they're just some sentimentalized group out there that you never really fully encounter. But what about the widow next door who has been, maybe, rude to you on occasion? Does she deserve your help? What about the drug-addicted cousin who is living in pretty desperate economic situations? Jesus didn't tell us to "love the poor"; He told us to love our neighbor. He told us to focus our attention on the people right next to us, with all of their faults laid open.

•"BECAUSE KINDNESS IS RELATED TO LOVE, IT FOLLOWS THAT THE KIND PERSON LOVES ANOTHER
NOT FOR THE PLEASURE THE OTHER PERSON GIVES,
NOT BECAUSE THE OTHER PERSON CAN DO US A KINDNESS IN RETURN, BUT BECAUSE THE OTHER PERSON IS LOVABLE IN HIMSELF.
THE BASIC REASON WHY EVERYONE IS LOVABLE IS BECAUSE GOD MADE HIM."
Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen•

Psalm 22:6 reads: "But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people." This verse is part of Psalm 22, which is an expressive piece of poetry and a prayer for help that is often attributed to King David. It is notable for its raw expression of suffering and its prophetic elements that Christians believe foreshadow the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross. In this particular verse, the speaker expresses a profound sense of dejection and worthlessness, feeling as lowly as a worm, an image that conveys a deep sense of vulnerability and rejection. The psalm as a whole moves from a plea for deliverance to a confident hope in God's salvation.

Even when it is soo dark, and i feel so hopeless, he sends me reminders in small acts of love....
He is my light in the darkness,
Praise be to him,
Praise be to Christ <3
