Will We Let the Angels In to Guide Us Away from Dread?
Our first day of nice weather this fall…it should be glorious moment of family adventure. Instead the world is full of dread. People get cancelled if they do not toe “the line” on anything decried by the government. Thousands of us face termination because we will not submit to a medical procedure, which we find in and of itself is revolting towards the Lord. The victims will not just be the workers, but the entire family. Autocrats seek complete submission to their every social, medical and financial order. Businesses gleefully comply with government orders, to keep their good contracts and most favored status under whatever new admin or bill is moving through the government. The groupthink crowd looks down in fear, and moves right along staying with the supposed safety of the masses.
I started this blog to find and share bits of God’s Glory through photos and words. I wanted to help people see the goodness of the God in the world, so they could have encouragement in a world of dread. I want to share God’s hope for each of us to move towards him for all eternity. I want to help people understand, the first step in all of this is to open our hearts and minds to the Lord.
When you look at the world today realize this most basic fact about God’s relationship with each of us; and how it is supposed to reflect on a well ordered society. In the Catholic faith, we know dogmatically God could but never will force us to love him. For true love is about willingly giving of self for another. He loved us so much, he sent his only Son to show us the hard and narrow road to heaven by dying a horrible death.
The opposite of such Caritas is the fascist oppression we see permeating the world today. Leaders and countries which lead in such a manner are not doing so in accordance with Catholic morality behind them. I have no problem telling this to any of the weak bishops of this world, that in their weakness to the world they permit great evil to fall on their flocks. They will be held accountable one day, just as I will be. However the devil dances with greater glee on those anointed as decedents of the Apostles who fail to act as such. Woe to those who do not listen to their Guardian Angels.
So today, on what should be a glorious day, I ask anyone who reads this to be quiet and let their Guardian Angel speak to them. Look at the world, and see where they point us personally to peacefully walk with our neighbors as Jesus did. Look and question anyone demanding submission of will to the princes of this earth. One way leads to salvation and eternal peace through pain here on earth. One way leads to a life of ease and temporal peace, but in the end turns our souls to dust.
Capture His Glory in your life, and release it right back out to Glorify the Lord. It will lead us away from dread, and into heaven forever.
