Having thought of, reflected upon, and made reparation for the act of desecration perpetrated against the Most Blessed Sacrament through the hands of one Professor PZ Myers I have now realise that this one act has borne 10 fruits. Let me explain in an open letter to him.
I am writing to congratulate you Professor Myers, not obviously for your recent act of desecration against the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, the sourse and summit of our Catholic life, but because I want you to know that your one action of hatred has brought about 10 fruits in the lives of the Catholic faithful. Each of these fruits, in their own way, give glory to God and help repair the horrible outrage perpetrated by you against the Holy of Holies. Let me explain…
Through your act of desecration, Professor Myers, you have blasphemed the sacred mysteries of the Holy Catholic Church. Because of your blasphemy you have succeded in helping us to believe in them more firmly.
Through your impiety you have tried to extinguish our hopes of immortality. Because of your impiety you have succeded in helping us to trust all the more in The Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, the sole hope of all mankind!
Through your blindness of heart you resist the Divine attractions. Because of your blindness you have helped us to see that we need to love more, the infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus!
Through your unbelief, you have attacked The Divinity of Christ. Because of your unbelief you have helped us to adore Christ’s Sacred Divinity more humbly and profoundly!
Through your hate, you have despised and abandoned the Holy Sacraments. Because of your hatred and contempt you have helped us to resolve that we shall receive them more frequently with great love and reverence!
Through your disregard for, and ignorance of, all that is Holy and Sacred, you have neglected and forgotten the Holy Virtues. Because of your neglect and ignorance you have helped us to endeavor to practice them more faithfully!
Through your implication and cooperation with evil, the devil labors through you to destroy souls. Because of your cooperation with evil, you have helped us to become inflamed with desire to save them!
Through your sin and impurity you have destroyed the image of God in yourself and have attempted to destroy His image in others. Because of your sin and impurity we shall try all the more, by purity of life, to be a living temple of the Holy Spirit!
Through your vile words and actions you have shown that you despise the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God. Because of your words and actions we shall endeavor to be more faithful to Her.
Through your contempt for the Church of Christ, you have tried to persecute the Holy Father, Christ’s Vicar on earth. Because of your contempt we will honor the Pope as the infallible head of the Holy Church of God, and we vow to show our fidelity and pray for him always!
See, I think what you have yet to understand is that when God allows an evil act to take place, it is because He wishes to bring about a greater good. In other words we do get beautiful roses because of manure.
In this case your one act of hatred has brought about 10 ‘greater goods’ in the life of each of the Catholic faithful. So, I suppose, for this we owe you our thanks.
