Tea at Trianon: Interview with Brendan and Elly Roberts

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Interview with Brendan and Elly Roberts

Please enjoy a wonderful interview with Brendan and Elly Roberts about their new book on finding a spouse. Worth the Chase: Finding Love God's Way has received the following comments: “Refreshing and inspiring,” “life changing,” “part of my healing process,” “deeply moved,” “It made me cry several times and laugh”.

This book was written by Catholics who met in an adoration chapel, just 30 minutes after the young lady was begging God for a writing mentor! After writing the book they fell in love. While it was primarily written for singles on relationships with a woman's perspective and man's perspective (two books in one) which focuses on purity, the authors have been surprised that married couples are also enjoying it. It also has heart touching testimonies of broken hearts, a single mom's challenges, a mistress who was led to end her toxic relationship and a woman who was pressured into having an abortion. All share how they came to surrender all to Jesus and return passionately to follow Him. Many singles lose hope on finding the person God has destined for them; they fall prey to the lie that if they feel they are in love then they should give themselves body and soul to the other person. Worth the Chase addresses this, offering great hope that one can become fully pure spiritually especially by seeking Christ's forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Worth the Chase has love letters from God for women and also love letters from God for men which are deeply touching hearts. We are getting feedback of many people crying upon reading these letters.
