It’s Holy only when :bowdown: Lord Sam says it’s Holy.
Have no fear Meggie - I find this rather funny LOL!
"And then , lastly, there was the greatest sorrow of the Son of God - The consciousness that in that hour the great sin of the world had been accomplished: that man had laid hands upon God, that after thousands of years of sin and of rebellion, he had overtaken Him at last. The divine presence being out of the reach of man, God had become incarnate. At last God was made man- God came into the midst of men - God was within the reach of the arms of men; and they laid hands upon Him, they scourged Him, they blashphemed Him, and they put Him to death. The world MURDERED its own Maker, and sinners slew their own Redeemer. The world shed the Blood of God; it stained itself, and imprecated upon itself the Blood of the Divine Innocent.
He foresaw in that hour the multitude of souls that, notwithstanding the shedding of His Precious Blood, would NEVER be saved - the redeemed souls, who shall go down alive into Hell - souls in multitudes who should never hear His name, and would yet sin against Him - souls in multitudes, still worse, who having heard His name would still sin against Him - souls on whom He had poured out the grace of His Holy Spirit, and who nevertheless would do despite to Him, and perish impenitent, and go down, like the leaves in autumn, countless in their multitude, into eternal death. All these sorrow, these mental sorrow, which in prophecy were before Him all His lifetime, rose at last to their fullness, and inundated the Sacred Heart in the hour of His Passion. But there is still one more part of this suffering. He might well say on the Cross, “My friends, My friends, why have you forsaken Me?” but His true desolation was this, that He had to cry, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
And to what reverence do we show THIS! - We have the nerve to believe that unconsecrated hands are worthy to touch the Body of Christ! …
Llane - I would not hesitate to believe that you do not recognize holy because you have not seen it
How about we talk more about evangelism instead of destroying our witness to Christ’s saving power by fighting among ourselves?
