MEDJUGORJE: HOLY HUMILITY


MEDJUGORJE : Holy Humility

 
..in ethics the concept of humility denotes one’s modest sense of self-worth...and upon the measure of how ardently they seek submission to others out of charity and with a view to unity of final cause...the humble serve the Church the proud serve themselves and their own tempestuous emotionality...in this sense no-one may humiliate another unless they ascribe to selfish ends then by participation in scandal they damage the mystical body of Christ...in the end such a person humiliates themselves and brings misery and travail upon the Church itself....

 

...as we see in MEDJUGORJE among the proponents and among the maverick seers themselves the concept of humility has not been explicated according to the examples of the saints...in MEDJUGORJE holy humility has been replaced by duplicity and arrogant self-importance...many adherents say all the outward exercises at MEDJUGORJE have brought about a hale and edifying aspect to their spirit however such people are working on emotional motives which are outward...if operating on the spiritual aspect inwardly one may easily see that there is no humility in all these exercises...since as animate rational beings we are composite in nature..our substantial core (inward) is spiritual a soul...our outward form is expressed in flesh and governed by (emotions) appetites ..hence what we see at MEDJUGORJE in many adherents is just pretentious spiritual guile....

 

...accordingly it befits one who is humble not to wish to acquire any office which is above such a one....the concept of vocation comes into play all the more in this circumstance...accordingly we see in MEDJUGORJE that many have taken it upon themselves as experts in the spiritual life to discern the phenomenon at MEDJUGORJE as being truly supernatural..however  according to the Church this is not the case....it is also contrary to humility to attach one’s cognitive reason to their own powers  and in this manner confide in one’s own particular judgement concerning public matters without conferring on the aid of God and his grace...in this way one through holy humility subjects themselves to God’s help and so a person who relies on God more is enlightened and raised up in God’s eyes all the more...

...we see this is not occurring in MEDJUGORJE as people are relying on their own judgements and not relying on the Church of Christ and her bishops and her magisterium to make the way straight....since God has set up a visible Church we are bound by holy prudence to follow it and consent to the Church’s decrees...prudence temperance justice fortitude..the cardinal virtues working together in unity of the mystical body of Christ..this is how we identify true apparitions from falsehood....

 

..now let us see what the saints have to say about holy humility....


 
 "The virtue of humility",….., "Consists in keeping oneself within one's own bounds, not reaching out to things above one, but submitting to one's superior"

 -Thomas Aquinas


 “Only through the degrees of humility can one reach heaven. God is infinitely perfect, and pride keeps us far from Him, but through humility we are able to approach Him.”

 
“Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance”

 -St. Augustine


                                              The soul's true greatness is in loving God and in humbling oneself in His presence, completely forgetting oneself and believing oneself to be nothing; because the Lord is great, but He is well-pleased only with the humble; He always opposes the proud.”

 -St. Faustina


 
One of the brethren once asked me,” Tell us about one of the scenes you have sighted so that we can profit from it.” In response I said, “Anyone who is a sinner like me does not have scenes to recount. But if you want to see a glorious scene that can truly benefit you, I can tell you where to find it. It is that of a man humble of heart and pure. This is a scene more splendid than any because through it you can see God who cannot be seen! Do not ask about a scene greater than this.”

 -Saint Pachomius the Great

 
 
“…The toil of man without humility is void.”

 “….humility purifies every adversary thought..”

 -St. John el-Daragi
 

 
The humbleness of the heart comes ahead of all virtues.
Let us hold fast to humility in every manner and every work.

 - St. Moses the Black

MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: SPIRITUAL HOOLIGANISM


MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: SPIRITUAL HOOLIGANISM

 
...from the phenomenon at MEDJUGORJE we hear from the proponents that proximate to the spirit of Vatican 2 we have a new Byzantium arising from the ashes of communist oppression...however since we have no conjunction with apostolic authority or any official recognition from the Vatican itself we have a new sect of spiritual hooligans running amok claiming a tenure on gifts and charisms which until now have never been officially recognized as supernatural in origin...in fact MEDJUGORJE is the new Jansenism....


 
 ..just as the Jansenists were adamant that their peculiar form of Catholicism complete with a skewed sense of man’s fallen state and his subsequent reliance on merit and demerit based solely on interior necessity which destroys the notion of free will and makes God capable of willing damnation on individuals..we see too in MEDJUGORJE that the emotion involved constitutes a condition where individuals are making choices based entirely on the interior necessity for maximum pleasure...which in this instance is outside the bounds of reason as dictated by the authority in this place which has issued a negative judgement...so indeed what the proponents of MEDJUGORJE are doing is subordinating their will to the external coercion of false truths as conveyed by the purveyors of the messages of MEDJUGORJE against the will of God who has spoken through his bishop.....

 
....just as the Jansenists perverted the teachings of St. Augustine and thusly usurped truth by the inculcation of falsehood and arrogantly passing it off as the genuine article..indeed by telling a lie long enough and to a substantial amount of the population is indeed propaganda not prophecy...so too the proponents of MEDJUGORJE attempt in vain to misinterpret and misconstrue every document relating to the importance of Church authority for their sole benefit just so they can affirm their insidious agenda of self aggrandizement....

 
 ..indeed just as a temporal mother can raise up a child in her arms so that he may walk it is still the child’s choice to walk or to not walk...God too can raise an individual since God is closer to us than we are to ourselves...God can raise the interior will of a person so that he may be illuminated to see the right course of action yet still it is up to the individual to make that free choice...indeed it is contradictory of God to illuminate an individual to premove it against church authority...


 
 ...so we see at this place we have a form of spiritual hooliganism where individuals are acting on repressed psychosocial dysfunctions to rule and control outside of the norm hence the blossoming of pride and presumption...through their unbridaled desires they seek to control the workings of the spirit and of the church to sway these works to their own justification...

 
 ..indeed the bywords for the anarchical hooligan we see here that at MEDJUGORJE we have the same spirit at work...
 
..if one makes a parallel between the far right activist a sports hooligan and a spiritual zealot we see that through reversal theory which attempts to explain why a person can behave in a similar manner in two instances but have opposite urges for acting in this manner....we see of the four types of motivational states the telic-paratelic (goal seeking/rebellious) is associated with the hooligan mentality....as we see in MEDJUGORJE sometimes people are calm yet at other times they are spun into an emotional frenzy (ie slain in the spirit)...or claim a quasi miraculous religious experience ....when an individual who is predilected by their nature is exposed to a circumstance which involves high hedonic overtones(pleasant state of arousal)...for example many people praying the rosary together and attending confession and mass presents a circumstance of high hedonic overtones and so such individuals tend to overcompensate and feel the spirit moving so to speak.....

 
 ....in such an individual who is prone to a particular emotional profile there is a need for compensation between the boredom associated with life’s rigours and so we have spiritual hooliganism as a compensated state..such a person seeks the thrill of defying authority to depose the boredom of a life of quiet desperation....a parallel between sports hooliganism may be seen where during a soccer match since the play is drawn out and at times boring yet the expectations run high that the hooligan may overcompensate and undermine the goal seeking with the rebellious nature.....indeed let us hope God will lead all into the true church united under a true spirituality in the final analysis .....amen

MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: FIAT JUSTITIA RUAT CAELUM


MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: fiat justitia ruat caelum

 

  ..since virtue is the gift of equanimity of the operations of the soul which one receives through the exercise of reason guided by faith....and human virtue is a characteristic which renders a human deed and such a one as good in itself....in a moral sense we might say that virtue requires a governance and one may say that Justice is the virtue which governs all others...since we are moral and rational beings it follows that through our causal nature we are all ordered towards an end..in order to actualize our appointed end we need direction and accordance of purpose between our talents and our station otherwise we cannot realize this end...

 ...since all human beings are created in the likeness of God..meaning rational creatures are imbued with a will and an intellect...they also have an immortal soul...through the inherent dignity of our created nature we can see without the balance of distributive  justice acting in our spiritual community we are stripped of the dignity of our vocation and so through an imbalance of bounty in a spiritual sense great wrongs can be committed upon an individual thus affecting the unity of the system...

 ..for example if a Bishop in good standing issues a decree which he is authorized to make and he is invariably ignored we see that owing to his station and the matter of justice wherein according to justice a person receives their just due in relation to the state of their merit and their appointed degree of authority...in this instance an injustice is perpetrated against the Bishop..a great evil has upset the balance of the spiritual community... since the Bishop is a spiritual figure of the Church then an injustice is also inflicted upon the Church..and so through the chain of causes eventually by association God is also offended...

 ....however since injustice rendered out of ignorance constitutes a mistake..and injustice which occurs from a thwarted plan is a mischance...yet injuries incurred as a result of preconception we must say result in injury...ignorance is not an excuse since ignorance incurs culpability if it results from complacency ..however ignorance as result of invincible defect bears no fault...indeed some at MEDJUGORJE are out of ignorance harming the equity  necessitated by absolute justice ..since to effect justice one must be virtuous by default so those lacking in virtue are unable to recognize the due course of justice in this instance....

 ...however those acting out of contempt for authority garner a certain culpability.. if we see that culpability requires four elements of consideration namely...intent, knowledge, reckless deviation from a norm, and negligence..then we see at MEDJUGORJE all the adherents have transgressed one or more accessory elements to culpability and so have accrued guilt...


... A person acts with negligence with

respect to a result or to a circumstance described by a statute defining

an offense when he fails to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable

risk that such result will occur or that such circumstance exists. The

risk must be of such nature and degree that the failure to perceive it

constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would observe in the situation...

             New York Penal Code, Culpability

 
 ....we see at MEDJUGORJE that many have ignored the risk of bringing errors into the Church by assenting to a questionable spiritualism as well by harming the unity within by flouting the authority of the Vatican and the local Ordinary..there is indeed negligence at play ....

 

.... A person is not relieved of  liability for conduct because

he engages in such conduct under a mistaken belief that it does not, as

a matter of law, constitute an offense, unless such mistaken belief is

founded upon an official statement of the law contained in (a) a statute

or other enactment, or (b) an administrative order or grant of

permission, or (c) a judicial decision of a state or federal court, or

(d) an interpretation of the statute or law relating to the offense,

officially made or issued by a public servant, agency or body legally

charged or empowered with the responsibility or privilege.....

New York Penal Code- Culpability...                                  

 ....indeed at MEDJUGORJE ignorance of the law is never an excuse....indeed we are told that we are to shun man’s law and follow God’s law by the MEDJUGORJE PROPONENTS.. however to expel logic from the situation and fasten our premonitions to our own frail cognition that is a sin against God who provides us with natural law, social jurisprudence, mores and norms, conscience and Church law to aid us to make an informed decision which ensures the abutment of the common good and guaranties the expression of commutative justice and the fulfillment of contractual obligations gifted at baptism and agreed to at confirmation...all necessary for the prosperity of the entire body of the Church....Res Ipsa Loquitur....amen

MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: the Imitation of Christ


MEDJUGORJE UPDATE: the imitation of Christ

 
..Thomas A Kempis wrote the imitation for the true lovers of Christ as guide to the spiritual life...let us ponder one verse and thereafter reflect...


 Ninth Chapter
 
 ON OBEDIENCE & SUBJECTION
IT IS a very great thing to obey, to live under a superior and not to be one’s own master, for it is much safer to be subject than it is to command. Many live in obedience more from necessity than from love. Such become discontented and dejected on the slightest pretext; they will never gain peace of mind unless they subject themselves wholeheartedly for the love of God.

Go where you may, you will find no rest except in humble obedience to the rule of authority. Dreams of happiness expected from change and different places have deceived many.

Everyone, it is true, wishes to do as he pleases and is attracted to those who agree with him. But if God be among us, we must at times give up our opinions for the blessings of peace.

Furthermore, who is so wise that he can have full knowledge of everything? Do not trust too much in your own opinions, but be willing to listen to those of others. If, though your own be good, you accept another’s opinion for love of God, you will gain much more merit; for I have often heard that it is safer to listen to advice and take it than to give it. It may happen, too, that while one’s own opinion may be good, refusal to agree with others when reason and occasion demand it, is a sign of pride and obstinacy.

-Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
 





..now a prudent lover of Christ and his Church if they apply the above contemplation to their
discernment of the events at MEDJUGORJE must readily admit that among the adherents of MEDJUGORJE  holy obedience as it is explained by Thomas a Kempis is not practiced at MEDJUGORJE...instead we have slavish sycophantic adoration of emotions and self-educed vibrations...everything is based on sensibility and sense has been orphaned....
 
 
....as well among many proponents of MEDJUGORJE we are told we must visit this place..however as Thomas A Kempis has written many are deceived by dreams of happiness and expected change of scenery...for many a visit to MEDJUGORJE allows them to escape the dreary reality which encompasses them ..however for the true lover of Christ in the dark recesses of a dreary reality is exactly where one can evince the light of Christ...to find Christ in the poor and disenfranchised of your immediate vicinity is what the true beloved desires...to become the personification of Christ to those in your family and your colleagues as it befits your station in life...this is how Christ and his Church ensconces itself amidst the fibre of an aberrant social miasma...


 
 .....when one is obedient out of necessity their cloaked disposition is revealed when they rebel once they have received an order which their reason refuses to submit...if one is obedient out of love and yearns to truly live inside the beloved..since the will is moved towards the thing that is loved so too a true lover will  accede to a  command that is averse to one’s own will in order out of holy desire to be transformed in love and acquire the beloved’s will...as we see in the Church of Christ the will of Christ resides in the will of the magisterium...we have seen two successive bishops call for a ban on the false mysticism associated with MEDJUGORJE..as well the Vatican itself has not made any declaration apart from the Zadar commission which states that no pilgrimage may be made as an attestation of supernatural events which calls for further Church review...and so private dissipation of any message out of MEDJUGORJE with a tag “Words of the Mother of God”  cannot be made according to the Vatican without incriminating one self as an apostate magister...those person’s disseminating such material are in open defiance of the Church ( the Vatican and the local Ordinary)...


 

..indeed this cannot be pleasing to God..it makes a mockery of the true Church..amen

MEDJUGORJE WEB UPDATE: Holy Obedience???


MEDJUGORJE WEB UPDATE: Holy Obedience??


..in the spiritual life the virtue of Holy Obedience provides a framework from which all the other virtues may burgeon...the contrary to Holy obedience is blind obsequiousness which out of the weakness of a poorly informed conscience turns the soul into a slave of presumption...such a one fears the loss of heaven and the pains of hell however does not live in love since they do not trust..they are a slave to fear and act from the primitive brain according to the flight or fight stimulus...without trust there can be no love...what they feel as pleasant they believe to be good what they feel as invidious to their sensibilities they believe bad..however this is the opposite to true spirituality....such blind obedience makes one a slave and entombs every holy appetite so one is held hostage by the pretense and whims of others...this in turn binds the will and bends it in upon itself..so such a person becomes a castaway marooned on their own island of bodily desire...since to reach out is to share the love of Christ..if we cannot share we cannot keep the living body of Christ alive within us and among us...we must be KERYGMATIC in essence in order to make our being a sublimation of the Gospel..if we are bound in upon ourselves through blind obedience which is what we see happening in MEDJUGORJE the unity message of the Gospel is in danger of inchoate internalizing which may strangle the germinating seed of love....adherents are bound by the whims of others and so cannot evince the variety of God’s creation through their slavish spirituality..hence without Holy obedience to a living magisterium the works and devotions are subverted... indeed we see a union among the proponents of MEDJUGORJE yet it is superficial... emotionally it is fruitful but spiritually at the core it is poisonous...like cactus in the desert who also put forth flowers...the outward flowers are appealing to the eye however the spikes of discord and division to church authority do not allow the intimacy of Christ to prevail among their counterfeit spiritual communities.....as well such a collection of followers eventually cut off from the living water of the church reveal a unity  as a swamp of stagnant overgrown bodily desire and emotion...such a swamp becomes home to insidious spiritual creatures symbolic of bad practices and ugly habits..which eventually scare off many good habits..however due to pride such people do not see the transformation and regard every practice they are undertaking as edifying since they lack discernment and live according to fear in opposition to love...instead of a verdant garden of virtue pruned by Holy obedience they become spiritual sinks attempting to hoard every grace...Holy obedience quickens one to proceed by right reason on the true paths of God...while blind obsequiousness transforms one into a slave without free will an animal operating out of fear and instinct incapable of love..these people hoard what they receive according to primitive survival instincts and due to self-love unconsciously thwart the flow of grace as it emanates from the Church..however the grace of God is ever living and directly or incidentally a good end is always met....such a one is unable to actualize themselves fully and eventually loses the scope of their vocation due to dryness and the normal crosses of life....since they do not know how to suffer out of love....amen

 

..let us see what the wise spiritual fathers and mothers of the church have to say...






 
"The Devil doesn’t fear austerity, but the Devil fears holy obedience.”

– St. Francis de Sales



 
 “Holy Obedience unites us so closely to God that in a way its practice transforms us into Him, so that we have no other will but His. If holy obedience is lacking, even prayer cannot be pleasing to God.”
– St. Thomas Aquinas


 
 By holy obedience a man is guarded against pride. Prayer is given for the sake of holy obedience. The grace of the Holy Spirit is also given for holy obedience. This is why holy obedience is higher than prayer and fasting.

-St.  Silouan the Anthonite

 
Holy Obedience is necessary not only for monks, but for all people. Even the Lord was obedient. The proud and self-regarding do not allow grace to live in them, and therefore they never have spiritual peace, while in the obedient soul the grace of the Holy Spirit enters easily and gives joy and peace. Whoever bears even a little grace in himself joyfully submits himself to all direction. He knows that God directs even the heavens and the netherworld, and himself, and his business, and everything in the world, and therefore he is always at peace.

-St. Silouan the Anthonite


 
 “Some have afflicted their bodies by asceticism

 but they lack discernment, and so they are far from God.”

-Abba Anthony the Great




Our vow of chastity is nothing but our undivided love for Christ in chastity, then we proceed to the freedom of poverty-poverty is nothing but freedom. And that total surrender is holy  obedience. If I belong to God, if I belong to Christ, then he must be able to use me. That is holy obedience. Then we give wholehearted service to the poor. That is service. They complete each other.
That is our life.

                                                                  -Mother Teresa


 
“What do you think is the easiest way to become saints?” ....... “To recognize the Will of God in our Superiors and to submit entirely to it.”"

-      St. Don Bosco

 
"We've been deceived by the thought that we would be more pleasing to God in our own way than in the way God has given us."

                                                        -St. Catherine of Siena

 "Obedience and her sister patience show whether the soul is in truth clothed in the wedding garment of charity." Dialogue 163.

-St. Catherine of Siena

 
 “THE more the Religious abideth beneath the yoke of holy obedience, for the love of God, the greater fruit will he give of himself to God; the more he shall be subject to his Superior for the honour of God, the more free will he be and clean from sin. The true obedient Religious is like unto a knight well armed and mounted the which overcometh and breaketh the ranks of his enemies, safely and without fear, because none of them can hurt him. But he who obeyeth with murmuring and on compulsion, is like unto an unarmed knight and ill-mounted, the which,when he entereth into the battle, will be cast to earth by his enemies, and wounded by them and taken, and sometimes imprisoned and slain.”  -The Little Flowers of St. Francis

MEDJUGORJE WEB UPDATE: Twelve steps to humility & pride


MEDJUGORJE WEB UPDATE: Twelve steps to humility & pride

12 Steps of Humility

 

12. Containment of one's interests, which shows itself in a humble bearing and lowered eyes

11. Quiet and restrained speech

10. Reluctance to laugh

9. Keeping silent unless asked to speak

8. Regarding oneself as having no special rights in the community

7. Thinking oneself less holy than the others

6. Thinking oneself unworthy to take initiative

5. Confessing one's sins

4. Patience in the face of accusation

3. Submission to superiors

2. Desiring no freedom to exercise one's will

1. Constant watchfulness against sin

 

..now if we take the church militant as a community of believers with a common purpose then it follows that...

 ..we see in the phenomenon at MEDJUGORJE and through the public comportment and character of the seers themselves that they have not acquainted themselves with St. Bernard’s 12 steps to humility...in MEDJUGORJE we see flagrant dissension to the mandate of Authorized Superiors..


 ....by saying the vision is the Virgin while the Bishop and the Vatican have not come to the same conclusion...indeed there is confession of sin but one without judging the interior disposition of a soul doubts that disobedience to authority is one of the sins that is excogitated...

 
 .....of reluctance to frivolous laugher we see in some of the past discourses how the seers though young at the time were prone to bouts of inappropriate laughter particularly in association with the apparitions themselves..and in one instance the apparition itself mocked rightful church authority...from a tape recorded interview with the bishop in the early 80’s....

 

"The Virgin has reprimanded us because last time we did not say everything. She spoke about this ‘Herzegovina Case’, and she burst out laughing, and she added that she could have put everything in order herself. I had not the least idea of what it was all about.

 

..now would the mother of God burst out laughing at a directive from an authorized Church authority??..

"Then I began to laugh. Then Jakov and I exploded with laughter. People asked us, 'Why are you laughing?' We answer that we are laughing because she had told us to laugh.

...indeed is one to believe that The Virgin Mary is condoning the mockery of Church directives??..I must say these antics of the apparition and seers fill the logical observer with reservations tinged with a redolency of suspicion ......
 
..now to say the seers show patience in the face of accusation is completely false since they have sided with the apparition itself..an apparition which stated at one time that the Bishop of Mostar has no love of God in his heart for the prelates God has vested him with the obligation to care for...indeed one of the spiritual acts of mercy is to bear wrongs patiently..and this they have not done since they persist in disseminating the messages in contravention of a direct order from the Bishop..who according to the apparition is the spiritual Father at this place...indeed the seers do not keep silent unless asked to speak....they speak at their whim and at the beck and call of their fesnyng desires....

April 26, 1982 MONDAY. Our Lady
The bishop - she says – doesn’t possess a scrap of the true love of God for those two.
With regard to the bishop, Ivica and Ivan should be peaceful because he has placed a too heavy load on their shoulders, only to get rid of them........

. What the bishop is doing is contrary to the will of  God, yet he can do as he pleases, but one day justice such as you have never seen shall be revealed.

..indeed we are also told by certain adherents to the messages that the Bishop is no longer an authority..since the Vatican has taken his authority away..which is dubious and doubtful..as well the apparition has contradicted this disclosure since according to the apparition itself the Bishop is the spiritual father at this place...

"Tell the bishop that I seek a quick conversion from him towards the happenings in Medjugorje before it's too late. May he accept these events with plenty of love, understanding and great responsibility. I want him to avoid creating conflicts between priests and to stop publicizing their negative behaviors. The Holy father has given all bishops the duty to fulfill certain tasks in their respective dioceses. Among these, bishops are to solve problems and arguments. The bishop is the spiritual father of all the parishes in Herzegovina. For this reason I seek his conversion towards these events. I am sending my second-last warning. If what I seek does not come about, my judgment and the judgment of my Son await the bishop. This means that he has not found the way to my Son Jesus." Our Lady told me to give you this message.

Bijakovici June 21, 1983

.....as well through the habit of one of the seers named Vicka one sees she loves to meet pilgrims and  perform the laying of hands on their heads as an action of bestowing the spirit..and to claim this special charism which is reserved for Bishops upon the ordination of priests is an arrogant showing of special rights among the community of the faithful and imperious holiness....she is drawing attention to herself and promoting an apparition that has not been sanctioned by the Vatican..so this is conceited and pretentious and a show of lack of humility...also an insult against the suavity of the senses ....


 
..even lately there are rumours that Vicka is able to bilocate...a signal grace reserved for the holiest saint....really???...however Vicka claims she is unaware that this is happening to her..while staunch believers claim it is her they see in their presence albeit the are many hundreds if not thousands of miles away...now of course this is dubious since the great saint padre pio always said a soul is aware of what is happening to it when it receives this grace...so one wonders..is this a different sort of bilocation that VICKA is experiencing....it sounds like imperious holiness and an aping of authentic saintly attributes and gifts when one takes all the facts into count....one must see that when we examine the character of the seers against solid Church sanctioned spirituality we see that...the terms holy humility and MEDJUGORJE seers are in fact a Contradictio in adjecto....

 

 

12 Steps of Pride

 

1. Curiosity about what is not one's proper concern

2. Light mindedness: chatter and exclamation about things which do not matter

3. Laughing about nothing; foolish merriment

4. Boasting and talking too much

5. Trying to be different: claiming special rights

6. Thinking oneself holier than others

7. Interfering presumptuously with the affairs of others

8. Self-justification: defending one's sinful actions

9. Insincere confession

10. Rebelling against superiors

11. Feeling free to sin

12. Habitual sinning

 

...indeed we are told early on in the visions that the seers asked the Gospa about all sorts of things from birthdays to sports scores and soccer game outcomes...indeed Mary is a mother however we have earthly mothers who can tend to our temporal needs..or earthly parental custodians...or family of one sort or another...if Mary were to appear on earth it would be for a grave reason to disclose important communiqué..however we have been receiving the same message every month ad nauseum...you would think after one message and an adequate oblated act of faith one would get on the good foot and amend their life..since the power of heaven  is perfection..all that God has said he has said once and instantaneously.. ,,and so it follows Mary would not malinger at one place or tarry too long lest she become an impediment to faith..

 
..if she had a few messages to impart she would say them once since what comes from God is rendered immune from potentiality is pure actualization and so the necessitation of repetitive messages from heaven disqualifies the potency of  those messages...in effect calling into question the sufficiency of God’s grace.. since everything is eternally new as it proceeds from God ...incessantly superfluous  messages from heaven are a non-sequitur..meaning heaven needs not repeat itself...those who are predilected by grace and nature to be stirred will reform according to the economy inherent in salvation..and no decree by any Bishop will suffice to frustrate the absolute will of God....to ignore a good Bishop in good standing is an act of UNBELIEF and an undoing of the tenets of the faith....

...we shall let the discerning reader render the rest for the sake of brevity....amen
