This is a very inspirational sermon on how the Church continually follows the pattern of Jesus: seemingly dying over and over in the world’s eyes, yet always rising to new life. It is a pattern of continual hope and joy even in the face of hardship and despair. It is called “By Hook and By Crook” and posted at The Catholic Thing. https://www.thecatholicthing.org/

Peace of JESUS The Beloved Anointed One who never
leaves us ophans. A deep heartfelt stay well wishes in His
True Peace that surpasses all human understanding be with you and your family.

It seems as though there is approx, a 500 year cycle.

(i.e. Daniel’s prophesy until Majestic Messiah Suffering Servant,
the fall of Rome around 500 a.d., the Great Schism 1,000 a.d.,
the Protestant Revolt by things such as class warfare propaganda
cherry picking Scripture, The Early Church Writings to form
false theologies such as faith alone & Bible Alone 1,500 a.d.;
(i.e. The Sacrilegious putting pictures of Clergy in drawings,
with them being in a ‘gas cloud’ from the rear-end of an animal,
because of abuses of wealth, help cause a field-worker or other
named working class revolt. At first Luder (the original name of Luther),
was happy. When nobility complained of the dis-rest and violence;
Luder proclaimed put down the revolt by any means.
100,000 poor working class were killed.)

(JESUS in GOD’s Mercy helped us use terms like ‘sad divisions’
and ‘not in Communion’ for our non-Catholic non-Orthodox
brothers & sisters - who agree with much of The Biblical
and true historical JESUS The Beloved Anointed One, since
over time - so many are not culpable - and carte blanche
using the term ‘heritic’ for the individuals & families involved
would hurt working together in Charity for GOD’s Glory,
in JESUS The Way, The Truth, and The Life to Heaven.
To help non-Believers see the Charity in His Name, even
though their are sad divisions.

Since the repeat of false philosophies under new names;
in clever luring terms -(Paul The Apostle used an expression
like ‘the Greeks,’ and man’s philosophy; for example,
The Cross is a stumbling block to the Jews,
and foolishness to the Greeks. But the so-called
weakness of GOD, and ‘foolish’ Wisdom of GOD
destroys the crafty philosophies of humanity) →
greatly spurred on the radical secular humanist;
all religions are ‘the same’ different ways to heave;
relativistic (social trends are the only source of facts);
social constructionist - moral relativistic culture of death->
in our ‘modern’ day; so many use the Name of JESUS,
for terms such as ‘Christ consciousness’ which could
mean any agenda/ that there is an extreme misuse
of His Name, even GOD’s Goodness; that so many
lack a sense of GOD’s healing Powerful Harmonious Ways.
All the while, divorce escalating immensely;
disillusioned children and impressionable, often in a sense
of denial has escalated; depression, substance abuse;
suicide; mass shootings - and other effects because
the protection of GOD diminishes in general the less,
GOD’s Ways and humanity accepting the ideals of GOD’s
healing harmonious ways diminishes.
(i.e. helpless babies suffocating to death in pain,
or necks snipped to stifle their tiny panicked screams,
(by the tearful testimony of repentant child-killing abortion
aids in the Gosnell trial).
(cont…)
 
Mass murder of children,
elderly, sick (euthanasia) at the rate of 10,000,000
a staggering human incomprehensible TEN MILLION,
every 90 days or so, world-wide. The equivalent of the population;
Los Angeles County. What is done to the least (helpless),
is done to JESUS as per Matthew 25:31-46!!!

So many are not aware that honoring or cooperating with those
who radically propose policies and carry them out, opposed to JESUS,
and all JESUS’ Ways, and Teaching/ confusing the unlearned who
have the hardships of life or other mitigating factors is gravely
disordered and extremely harmful to so many.

JESUS never gave honor to the elders of the people or anyone;
until after they repented. (i.e. Matthew, Zaccheus, the woman crying
at His Feet, wiping them with her tears.)

And this is circumventing of the year 2,000.
And we know that JESUS did not teach gradualism - but clear
assertiveness in all things made possible by The Power
of The Holy Spirit of Truth.
“truth is relative” diametrically opposes 'Truth IS Eternal."
Lack of Truth, or pursuit of Truth is extremely harmful to so many.
(cont…)
_
Whether masked by psychological denial by a seeming sense
of human lack of inner conflict – anyone is harmed;
and influences the same harmfulness to others —
when GOD’s ideals are less accepted.
Only JESUS Impartially knows whether lack of knowledge and
informed conscience is of one’s own justifying human will or not.
Willful refusal of GOD’s always asserting to the consciousness
Divine Favor to receive a more GOD’s Ways inner disposition or not.

So, many of us truly need to discern properly sins of commission,
and omission for the following in a world always in need
of the authentic Biblical and historical JESUS and GOD’s Ways.
Be extremely careful of today’s luring honey speech playing
at heartstrings propaganda claiming to help the marginalized;
all the while complacent to some of the things brought up above.

“The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies. For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.” - Isaiah 9:16
“Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” - Matthew 15:14
“And whoever shall cause to stumble one of these of the little ones believing in Me, it is better for him that a heavy millstone should be hung around his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.” - Matthew 18:6

The end of the beautiful article, below cited at the start of this thread. And thank GOD Jesus taught Holy Spirit guided
assertiveness with deep heartfelt concern for others!
So much complacency today, so harmful to all.
May we each receive Divine Favor - to bring Glory,
to His Name as a bright Shining His Lamp on the hillside.
So the world learns the True JESUS, for each of our benefit!
He is Joy for all seasons! HE IS RISEN, INDEED!

for as fishers of men and shepherds of souls we are committed to the high destiny of making Christ the King of human hearts, and with only the sign of Jonas the prophet, the fulfillment of that destiny can never be doubted, for if truth wins, Christ wins; if truth… Ah! But truth can’t lose.
Eternal Truth helps prove THE RESURRECTION, so there is not a stoic idea of the sign of Jonah. True compassion, of course, means diligent assertive proclaiming
the Authentic Biblical and Historical JESUS - which truly helps develop the pursuit
of participating in HIS inner PEACE, which helps all things.
