TRUTH

There is an old saying, “Truth can hurt.” These words provide a blatant and historically confirmed reality… we owe ourselves the brutal truth! Otherwise we can become adults who tell half truths to our own self and sometimes outright lies to other people. And over the years people become comfortable or cozy at telling lies and half truths. This is exactly what has now happened to the Catholic Church, its bishops, priests and religious men and women. Mass attendance is no longer just down. People estimated to exceed 30 Million American Catholics have simply stopped practicing. No, going to Mass, receiving the Sacraments or donating to various Catholic organizations or institutions.

Personally, I have been watching this in house destruction destroy many faithful lay Catholics, good priests and religious men and women. As such, today’s Church leadership barely speaks out on any issue with a voice of conviction or true faith. My dear beloved ancient Church is being dismantled one piece at a time by a very clever and well financed group of the most powerful ordained clergy here in America.

But they have no power in the faithful lives of the practicing Catholics whose hearts are afire with genuine love for our Lord. Our Father is crying out to us to make time for Him! He has a plan for us: We are to open our heart, mind, soul and spirit and prayerfully invite our Lord to enter more fully into our daily lives in ways which enable Catholics to put our ancient Faith into action.

Listen to our Lord in prayer. Discern His will. Respect our clergy and laity. Never waste an hour of your life being concerned about some reckless, unjust or lying clergyman who uses innuendo and lies against you! Worry not! When you have enemies because of your faithful life that is their problem! Waste no efforts to respond. Go with God! All the time! And be at peace with the world. Our Lord is with you! Stay with our Lord! Amen.
