Reflection Starter from T .S. Eliot

"The World is trying to experiment with attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide." - T .S. Eliot (from his 1931 essay "Thoughts After Lambeth")
