What is the Pillar of Truth?

Posted on by

 

You are heading towards a future
where truth will be present in few hearts…
Many will seek the glories of the world
and will scorn true doctrine.
Behold, the Time of Sorrows.
Pray, pray, pray.
Whatever happens,
do not turn away
from the Church of my Jesus. 

—Our Lady to Pedro Regis,

More questions have come forward about the Catholic Faith from my Protestant reader — questions that now expose the heart of our dialogue: how we approach Scripture.Continue reading →

Can Mary Speak to Us?

I received this letter from a Protestant reader:

Mark, I appreciate this blog and Searching for God. As a Protestant, I have problems with you continually referring to messages reportedly from the mother of Jesus, for whom there is no biblical suggestion that she even communicates with us humans. Mary was a sinner, as we are, even though we should honor her. I appreciate your blog when you use biblical references and also those of great saints in the church. Being a Catholic should not keep you from asking yourself those types of questions.

You have been told, O mortal, what is good,
and what the LORD requires of you:
Only to do justice and to love goodness,
and to walk humbly with your God.

I remain transfixed on that little passage of Scripture in Genesis right after the Fall of our first parents. Think about it: Adam and Eve had just upset the entire order of the Universe. They ushered decay into creation, death into the human race. They committed a mortal sin by deliberately rejecting God’s Word…Continue reading →

Where did God go? It’s a question many of us have asked in serious trials, in spiritual dryness, and in the most difficult temptations. Of course, we know in our intellect that God, who is omnipresent, hasn’t gone anywhere; that He tells us in the Scriptures that He will be with us “until the close of the age.”[1]Matt 28:20 All of this registers in the head… but it’s often in the heart that we are groping in darkness, searching for Him whom we love.Continue reading →

I will lead you into the desert…
I will strip you of everything
that you are depending on now,
so you depend just on Me.
A time of darkness is coming on the world,
but a time of glory is coming for My Church,
a time of glory is coming for My people. 

—The “Prophecy at Rome“,
St. Peter’s Square, Pentecost Monday, 1975
in the presence of Pope Paul VI

There is coming a time, if we have not already entered it, when our religious clichés will collapse, when our formulas will fail, when all the supports upon which we have relied in the past will be pulled from beneath us.Continue reading →

The Slow Burn

As of today, all the visitors over these Feast days have left, the house has fallen silent, and my energies return to this mysterious apostolate. It is entering its twenty-first year with nearly 1900 writings that span four pontificates. My hair is a little more gray, all but one of eight children that was at the beginning has now left home, and my eyeglasses have taken a near-permanent place on my nose.Continue reading →
