“Can’t fix a seared conscience.”
__________
If one credits as Catholic Mystic Maria Valtorta as divinely inspired, God the Son, while walking this earth, worked as hard remonstrating with Judas, convicting him in his manifold sins, and trying to induce him to mend his prideful ways, as he did in extricating Mary of Magdala from her life of base sexual sin and of seeking the approval of mere men, in freeing her from the possession of seven demons, in imbuing her with a matchless spirit of penance, and in subduing, harnessing, re-ordering, and re-directing her nearly matchless (exceeded, of course, by that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God) capacity to love.
Would you fault Christ for appearing to have failed with Judas?
Would you have predicted his enormous success with Mary Magdalene?
Christ was crucified with two brigands. Wasn’t one inspired, right then and there, to repent of his sins, and express his faith in Christ? And was that man not with Christ that day in paradise?
I wonder why anyone, frankly, would utter the word “never” (or, in your case, “can’t”) when it comes to who can or cannot, or may or may not, be saved, or as you say, be “fixed”.
None of us can do it on his own, it’s true. But God is known to supply each of us with the grace needed to work out, in fear and trembling, our salvation.
Were each of us, duly and individually, to humble himself, concentrate daily on the most important task at hand, and cooperate with whatever measure of grace we’ve so mercifully been given by God, would we all not individually succeed, just as Mary Magdelene clearly did?
