After (this) shot,
The punishment itself is a grace.
When he punishes it is that he loves
and waits for repentance,
reparation and amendment. God only does what is right,
and he uses evil (which he permits) for
our good.
Divine Providence has always and will
always lead
the events on Earth
We might as well get used to this
unchanging reality.
The Our Father was taught to us by
Christ, when he said to us, "Do not harp like the Gentiles, when you pray,
say, "Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be your name." (Matt
6:7-13)
In the Book of Job, when God calls
satan, he replies that he was travelling the world to harm God’s children. He does not flee as our first parents once
did by hearing the voice of God after the very first sin.
Our sins, -individual, of groups, of
nations- have finally wearied a «God who wants all men to be saved and to come
to the knowledge of the Truth (I Tim 2:4) [ who is his Son, the second Person
of the August and adorable Trinity] and He presents to us the invoice... And as
the stones of God make many rounds, in unsuspected directions, it is found that
in Crowned actuality, there is some good.
This "good" is however
spoiled by the bad accompaniment. So if
it is a good thing to be together, the long term is likely to be fatal. There is a fear that they will end up with a
fight or worse. It seems that the price of gasoline has dropped, but little
bothers us when we are prohibited from going out. It is only up to the borders that we thought
had vanished with the past coming back... closed.
Let us return to the Lord’s Prayer.
No, the devil does not fear the Our Father.
This prayer even if it begins every ritual because it is addressed to the
Creator (of all) and Redeemer (of of mankind), does not contain a word, not a comma
likely to shake the demon.
While he abhorred the Ave Maria
(Hail Mary), through whom the Archangel Gabriel announced to the Most Holy
Virgin that she would become the Mother of God, in her Son. Just after the Fiat
of the Virgin (Let it be done to me according to your word) he who created her
rested in her tabernacle (Matînes Little Office du MH Heart of Mary)
It is THE proper prayer to crush the
enemy. Preferably in Latin, any exorcist will tell you.
We have offended God, he punishes us
in all justice. Do you think it is time to beg his mercy when we have no
intention of making amends? He knows it, he who searches hearts and kidneys-
that we will not imitate Nineveh. Let us instead cast ourselves at the feet of
the One who is ONLY mercy and who (since Golgotha) has already saved the world
in times of calamity.
Moreover, is it not a presumption of
heresy to think that God would listen to us directly when he commands us to go
through his Mother? Do we consider
enough – today – what it means to be the Mother of God? Have we forgotten what
it cost her to accompany her Son on the Way of the Cross, to assist
"Stabat" and to consent to his death on the Cross of that Son whom
she gave birth and nourished with her breast?
It is at the foot of the Cross
that Our Lady of Sorrows acquired the power and the mission to assist us,
console us, and defend our conjunctional enemies (invisible or human)
Christ died for the sins of all;
even of those who are slow to return to the “little flock” (Luke 12:32) and his
August Mother appears and heals people from every horizon, every religion,
every nation. With the understanding that none of them died outside the Church,
anyway.
If evangelization had not been
deliberately and strategically abandoned, the present urgency would be an
opportunity to remind the world of the miracles achieved for us by his Son
through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Rather
than asking the Christian people (that is Catholics) to pray with those who are
not. Confusion when you hold us.
It is indeed the Church which
possesses a whole liturgical «arsenal» for times of epidemics of drought and
other natural calamities. I am thinking of the sacraments and sacrementals,
processions with the Blessed Sacrament, fasts, sacrifices, rogations etc. It is
not these "others" with whom it is appropriate to recite the Our
Father because they will not be offended.
Who was ever forbidden to pray to
the Mother of God?
If we showed charity for the flock
entrusted to us, we would remind him of the Miraculous Medal and all the
wonders of the Blessed Virgin.
Presiding over the recitation of the
rosary in honor of the Virgin seems forbidden to some. This is easily
understood if we remember that the Marian dogma of Co-redemptrix is, in our
opinion, a “tonteria”, a folly.
Yes, it is praiseworthy to pray Our
Lady Perpetual Help, but we know that a representation is needed where the
serpent head is crushed by the virginal foot. Our Lady of the Immaculate
Conception (for the vocable), Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of
Cape Town, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and others.
No one can serve two masters.(Matt
6:24)
It must be said that this "thing"
– thrown away and then fished out in the Tiber – would have taken very badly
that he addressed the Woman who crushed his/her head, (to her the thing) and
before the immaculate and all-powerful humility of which – contrary to the Our
Father – he/she fled defeated and confused since the redemptive
"FIAT".
O Maria sine labe concepta,
ora pro
nobis qui confugimus ad Te.
