+ Once again, an astonishing synchronization of the given daily
readings with what is going on all over the place, in the 9/11-sized attack by
Satan on the very fabric of the Catholic Church, especially in our country, in
the US Presidency, in the Hurricane that is poised to make significant damage
to the Southeastern Coast of the US.
It is time to turn the world
upside down – you heard me right – it is time to take what we so erroneously
and gullibly take as “truth” and turn it upside down and inside out! It is time
for the TRUTH TO SET US FREE.
This
is an urgent matter: because in the first reading to the Corinthians St Paul
tells them that the world in its present form is passing away. And in
a sense, it did, with the historical events that followed for them. But we need
to heed the same call to watchfulness because it is quite clear with the above
introduction to this homily that nothing will be the same in our Church, our
Country or our World. And the historical events that are to come might actually
be the final end of the end, and the beginning of the new beginning of heaven
and earth: with the True Truth and King of the Universe and all Universes established
as Regent King forever: and that would be Jesus Christ.
The
Joyful Servants of the Cross has been praying specifically for 13+ years now
specifically for the purification and perfection of the Church on earth, and
the spiritual transformation of the world into the Kingdom of God in a new
heavens and a new earth. I would say that our prayers are being
answered. And at this point we recommit ourselves to being instruments of
LIGHT, LIFE, HOPE, PEACE, and JOY, come as it will.
Of course, the gospel passage
spells it all out dramatically and beautifully: the upside down stuff – we have
to start “walking on the ceiling” – where Jesus proclaims rather matter of
factly that in the real real world – his world which is our world – it is the
poor who are rich, the hungry who will be satisfied, the weeping who will one
day laugh, the hated, excluded, insulted, denounced, who will receive an
amazing and unimagined reward in heaven our true homeland.
Then he woes the rich now,
they will get no consolation later, he woes the full now, for they will go
hungry, he woes those who laugh now, for they will grieve and weep, he woes
those who are spoken well of now, for they will be spoken ill of, and these for
eternity.
Perhaps we are truly at the
beginning of the new world to come right now – which means that we need to be
awake, ready and prepared for what will come in God’s Wisdom, Love and
Providence – he really is in charge and if we just surrender totally to him –
he will do everything to get us ready for the awesome final journey across the
Bridge (of the Cross of his Son) where the upside down will be turned right
side up again – and we will see, hear, smell, touch and taste like we can’t
even begin to imagine. I promise!
The entrance fee: STAY ON THE
BRIDGE, FOCUS ON THE CROSS OF CHRIST, PRAY UNCEASINGLY, AND CONTINUE DOING GOOD
WORKS UNTIL YOUR LAST EARTHLY BREATH.
