MEMORIAL OF SAINT CLARE, VIRGIN

MATTHEW 18:21—19:1

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the necessity of constant forgiveness.
Forgiveness is an act and not an attitude.
It is the active repairing of a broken relationship, even in the face of opposition, violence, or indifference.
When a relationship is severed, each party should, in justice, do his part to reestablish the bond.

Forgiveness is the bearing of the other person’s burden, moving toward him,
even when he refuses to move an inch toward you.
There is something relentless, even aggressive, about forgiveness,
since it amounts to a refusal ever to give up on a relationship.
Simon Peter asks Jesus, “Lord, if my brother sins against me,
how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?”
Jesus replies: “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.”
Christians should never cease in our efforts to establish love.

Jesus’ own startling practice of forgiving the sins of others emerges as one of the distinctive
and most controversial elements in his ministry.
And both rhetoric and practice reach their fullest expression when the crucified Jesus
asks the Father to forgive those who are torturing him to death.
We speak the truth because Jesus is the Truth;
we forgive because he forgave.

[MurphsLaw]

+++Peter approached Jesus and asked him,
“Lord, if my brother sins against me,
how often must I forgive him?
As many as seven times?”
Jesus answered,
“I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.
That is why the Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king
who decided to settle accounts with his servants.
When he began the accounting,
a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount.
Since he had no way of paying it back,
his master ordered him to be sold,
along with his wife, his children, and all his property,
in payment of the debt.
At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said,
‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’
Moved with compassion the master of that servant
let him go and forgave him the loan.
When that servant had left, he found one of his fellow
servants
who owed him a much smaller amount.
He seized him and started to choke him, demanding,
‘Pay back what you owe.’
Falling to his knees, his fellow servant begged him,
‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’
But he refused.
Instead, he had the fellow servant put in prison
until he paid back the debt. they were deeply disturbed,
and went to their master and reported the whole affair.
His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant!
I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to.
Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant,
as I had pity on you?’
Then in anger his master handed him over to the
torturers
until he should pay back the whole debt.
So will my heavenly Father do to you,
unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”

When Jesus finished these words, he left Galilee
and went to the district of Judea across the Jordan.+++

Did Jesus forgive Judas?

Did Jesus forgive the bad thief, as he forgave the good thief?

Does Boobie Barron not know the word, “Justice”? If not, why does he never talk about it.

Oh, that’s right: Boobie dares hope Hell is empty.

[MurphsLaw]

This one hits too close to home,.., doesn’t it?

[ebb tide]

Maybe for you and your hero, Boobie.

Aren’t you proud that the same pope who elevated the homo-heretics: Cupich, Tobin, Gregory and McElroy to the college of cardinals, has bumped Boobie up from auxiliary bishop to Bishop of Winona?

Bergoglio: Stacking them deep, filling them with creeps.

[MurphsLaw]

You’re just deflecting now...
You need to look inward.... not outward...

Reflect the daily Gospel for your own sin, your own need...
Not the sin of others...

What does that get you?

[ebb tide]

Reflect the daily Gospel for your own sin, your own need...

Who cares about sin anymore, Murph? Boobie dares hope Hell is empty.

Do you share his hope?

Do you agree with Boobie, that the legalization of homosexual marriage should not be repealed?

What Should We Make of Bishop Barron?

Why do you continue to pimp this homo-heretic of Jorge, Murph?

[MurphsLaw]

Do you share his hope? (Hell is empty)

HELL YES !
What am I, a Calvinist? Are you a Calvinist?
Do you assume it's God's Will to send souls to hell?

As a Catholic I have to follow the Sacred Gospel of God not wanting to lose a soul (we just did the 1 lost sheep vs. the 99 Gospel, if you were paying attention)
and follow the Catechism of the Church...

1821 We can therefore HOPE in the glory of heaven promised by God to those who love him and do his will. In every circumstance, each one of us should HOPE, with the grace of God, to persevere "to the end" and to obtain the joy of heaven, as God's eternal reward for the good works accomplished with the grace of Christ. In HOPE, the Church prays for "ALL men to be saved." She longs to be united with Christ, her Bridegroom, in the glory of heaven:

NOW I CAN HOPE ALL I WANT...

But will hell be empty in the end?... prolly not.
(But lets not HOPE for that reality- let's HOPE NANCY changes her ways... just don't hold your breath)

Why do you continue to pimp this homo-heretic of Jorge, Murph?

Show me where I "pimp" the Pope? You are being sinfully dishonest there.
He is the Pope, the Vicar of Christ who has succeeded the Apostles- with all the authority given the Apostles- as everyone (most everyone) before him has.

Is he a pooor pastoral Vicar? yes ...
is he an Anti-Pope like others before... probably and is on that path, but he can still get back on course... possibly
Will he die someday, and another will take his Place ?
Yes.

Does, and for 2,000 years, has, the HOLY SPIRIT GUIDED THE CHURCH CHRIST PROMISED US?

YES !!!-- and you better have FAITH AND TRUST in that Spirit- or you will be doomed.
(I HOPE you're not- but like Nancy too,
we are all on a path where we must choose)

(P.S. - Post the Vigano essay on Crisis today... its a good PDJT shout out there...)

[ebb tide]

HELL YES !

So like the heretic, Barron, you believe Jesus Christ lied when he said, "[21] And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born." Mark 14 ???

Or when Christ said, "[41] The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. [42] And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13 ???

So which is it, Murph. Do you believe Jesus Christ or the homo-heretic, Boobie Barron?

Barron, like Bergoglio, is one of those false prophets that Christ warned us about.

[MurphsLaw]

You're being ignorant.
yes that is scripture.
yes Jesus speaks of hell more than ANY another in scripture...
yes that is what will happen to those who don't believe
yes there is a hell that will separate those who choose to be separated from God-
NO ONE IS DENYING THAT...

Now what the question you aren't getting...

DO you HOPE that people will be condemned?
Do you HOPE for that?
.

Well if you do- then you have little Faith, you DO NOT trust in God's Will and go against his nature AND desire - for your own ego needs.


3 This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.”

STOP your dang Protestant straw-manning and live the Gospel...

And stop worrying about the sins of OTHERS...

THATS.NOT.YOUR.JOB.

[ebb tide]

No!!

The question to both you and the homo-heritic, Barron, is “dare we hope Hell is empty”?

Yes or no, Murph.

[MurphsLaw]

English comprehension eludes you.

[ebb tide]

Hell eludes you and Boobie.

Better rectify that.

[ebb tide]

3 This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE SAVED and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

God also desires that no men sin, ever. Do you dare hope no men have not nor ever will sin, Murph?

Do you not believe that Jesus Christ instituted the Sacrament of Confession, knowing that men would sin, even though He desires them not to sin?

If you dare hope Hell is empty, what is the point of the Sacrament of Confession?
