 est study  of  Christian  history  and  I  defy  you  to  mistake the  road  to  Catholicity. And if  you  are  already Catholic — well, there  is  much  left  yet  for  you  to  do. Strengthen your  faith  with  the  assurance  that Christ's rising  proved  Him  God,  and  that  therefore neither He  nor  the  infallible  Church  He  founded can, deceive or  be  deceived  concerning  the  way  to paradise. Rekindle your  love  for  God  who  so mercifully  redeemed  you;  renew  your  zeal  for  the spiritual and  temporal  welfare  of  your  neighbor whom God  wishes  to  share  in  that  redemption. And finally let  your  faith  and  charity  be  ever  inspired  by your  hope — hope  in  a  happy  immortality  for  soul  and body; where  we  shall  be  forever  reunited  with  father and mother,  brothers  and  sisters;  where  the  mother shall find  her  little  ones,  and  the  lover  the  love  he lost;  where  the  priest  shall  be  united  with  the  souls he helped  to  save;  where  God  will  wipe  away  all  tears from our  eyes,  and  death  shall  be  no  more;  where faith is  blended  into  vision,  and  hope  into  possession, and where  naught  remains  but  happiness  and  love forever and  forever. Amen.
