Sep 12 - Wednesday 23rd Week in OT


+ 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.
