"Today bring to Me SOULS WHO HAVE BECOME LUKEWARM,* and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy."
Consider including this vast group of souls in your daily prayers.
Catholic ping!
I have a dear friend who is a hardcore TRADITIONAL Catholic. His son is a priest.
He is HEARTSICK and tells me he’s convinced that the Vatican has been captured by the Marxists!
As I watch this Pope, I’m convinced he’s right!
I can distill it into two words:
POPE FRANCIS!
I think for me it really all started in the 2006 timeframe when “we” were told that “Sanctity of Life” should make way for “Social Justice.” And then, during the 2008 election season, we were damn near told to vote for Obama...
My concern began at that moment when our Priest was able to stand in front of the parish, with a straight face and say “it’s more important to support candidates that support Social Justice than Sanctity of Life.” I literally got up from the pew and left, and have only been back a few times. If my Priest felt that social justice was more important than sanctity of life then that is not the church I grew up in.
God and I are doing just fine...I don’t need to sit in a church and polish a pew with my a$$ only to be told that THE most vulnerable are not deserving of defense and are somehow less important, well, than anything.....
I’m just tired of having to “sing” all the responses. It’s like an episode of “glee”. Even the Lord’s Prayer is sung. I want to go to church, not glad hand, not hold my hands up and not have to sing. I look at all the men in the church and very few are involved because it’s so odd and I think effeminate.
Yeah, I know that men sing. but I’d just like to go to a mass like I did in my youth and listen, respond and learn.
As far as the politics of the church... it’s communist and homosexual friendly. Anyone who denies that are truly drinking the kool-aid. That’s why I left initially.
But the words of my father brought me home...”the church is the Lord’s home, the Catholic faith is the Lord’s gift. But men are flawed and should not be confused with what you know in your soul to be good and true.”
The communists can destroy the “church” but not my faith. The current pathetic pope and his little cronies make me sick, but I look at all the gifts the church has given the world and realize that they are lost and they will ultimately pay the price, all I have to do is believe, live my life as if the Lord is at my shoulder, ask him to forgive my sinful and despicable acts against him and pray that he has the grace to give my that forgiveness.
It’s all in his hands and he knows how it all will shake out. Without the Lord I am truly lost and pray with all my heart that I have done enough to live forever in peace with my family and that they find happiness and the Lord’s grace as well.
