+ In the gospel passage today, Jesus proclaims the Kingdom of God
by words, and by deeds that back up the words: miracles of all sorts and kinds.
And
his words were meant to be revolutionary, and his deeds truly awesome – and
they were for those who had the eyes and ears of faith to observe him and the
happenings.
There is so much work to be
done in the world to convince it that God’s reign is the only real one, and
that his laws prevails, that his personnel are the ones that will lead to life
eternal, in the way that he prescribed, through the narrow gate and way of his
Mystical Body – the Church.
Dear friends, the bottom line
here is that there is only one “church,” only one “religion” only one regulated
and prescribed central highway to heaven – while there are billions of little
paths that people are on – seeking their own “truths” with a small “t” – it
only makes sense that all these little tributaries are meant to merge and form
one great Interstate to the Kingdom – that giant golden paved interstate is the
Church that Jesus founded – plain and simple – which subsists in its entirety
in the system of ordering right religion known as the Church of Rome – the
Church that is Headed by Francis, the duly elected Pope and Successor of St.
Peter in Juridical rightness.
The harvest is great, and the
laborers are few – the laborers who work in direct association with the
Apostolic Line of Succession and the Magisterial Teaching Authority and the
distribution of the Salvific Grace that flows from the Pierced Side of the
Crucified Christ.
Mankind can never save itself –
it’s only Hope is the Crucified and Risen Christ. Apparently, much of the world
these days, beginning with our own country is seeking for wholeness in all the
wrong places – may we shine the light of Christ, the light Hope, the light of
Truth, the light of Peace – to help counter this fatal attraction. Amen.
