Am praying for all, But maybe this is one reason why this web is on going to wake people up to the truth of what has happened to Our Holy Mother the Catholic Church?
Surely NO need to be led back, And if they are "good"...then God who is the source of all good, will bring them to the right path,if they are willing and searching for the WAY. right? He has never failed to do so. Even sending Mary under many titles, to make all aware of the WAY.
Fr. Wickens hears it all now , and he too will watch over things from above....his flock is just, in their dispute. They knew him, they loved him and they love God.
Well I just learned that Fr. Gonzales is going to be the celebrant for the 10 AM SSPX mass in Fairfield, NJ for the forseable future. I am sure this news will sadden many people at St. Jude's in Eddystone where Fr. Gonzalez has been Pastor for quite some time. Fr. Grun, the German priest, is going to be replacing Fr. Gonzalez temporarily, but it is possible that he might stay on there longer. Even though Fr. Gonzalez is taking over the mass in North Jersey, he will continue to say the mass at the Society chapel in Pittston, PA.
While Divine graces is freely and generously imparted, one must WANT it.......one must ASK for it in prayer.
The biggest mistake most folks make spiritually is related to the primordial sin of Pride, from which springs all sin. If I am too proud to consider that I might be "wrong" in what I think, do, or say, then I am headed down the wrong road. A good Catholic must constantly and consciensously examine his conscience - and constantly question himself in light of God's laws, and of right reason.
Very few of us will be "knocked off out horse" like St. Paul was on the road to Damascus. Most of us must try and try endlessly to perfect ourselves, if we are to save our souls.
As many old hymns teach us, the one thing which is the key to salvation is an humble and contrite heart which says: "I am wrong, I am stupid, I am sinful - Lord, please teach me, and show me the way" If one can huble themsleves like that, then the floodgates of heaven are open to us in the form of the graces necessary for our souls.
But first - one must admit that the possibility that one could be wrong, and one must ask for the Divine Assistance. To him who asks, all is given.
