A treia cale

Singurătate de Hans Thoma (Muzeul Național din Varșovia)

 

AS M-am așezat aseară pentru a termina de scris partea a II-a a acestei serii Sexualitatea și libertatea umană, Duhul Sfânt a pus frâna. Harul nu a fost acolo pentru a continua. Cu toate acestea, în această dimineață, când am reluat scrisul, mi-a venit un e-mail care a lăsat totul deoparte. Este un nou documentar care rezumă lucrurile pe care vi le scriu. Deși serialul meu nu se concentrează pe homosexualitate, ci pe toate formele de exprimare sexuală, acest scurtmetraj este prea bun pentru a nu fi împărtășit în acest moment.

That, and another email arrived that is a perfect bookend to this documentary. It is a message allegedly from Our Lady of Medjugorje. Whether you believe in the apparitions or not, [1]cf. Pe Medjugorje; I am puzzled by Catholics who want to pre-empt the Vatican (which continues to investigate and discern the Medjugorje phenomenon) and declare on their own authority that the apparitions are false. Given the thousands of thoroughly orthodox vocations, ministries, and healings that have come from there, I for one will celebrate the fruit and do exactly what St. Paul said to do with prophecy: “retain what is good.” My bishop said to me recently that he would have no problem quoting private revelation that is not contrary to Catholic teaching and has not been “condemned” by the Magisterium. That is my mind as well. To those who feel they must attack this alleged apparition and ridicule those who continue to discern its message and fruit, I ask, why are you so afraid? Rather, stay close to the Magisterium, await their decision, and be obedient to it—as will I. In Pe Medjugorje, I explain why Catholics everywhere should pause before the “good fruit” that is being born while we await the Vatican’s official statement. the alleged messages continue to perfectly echo, not only Catholic teaching, but the prophetic pulse of this hour. I quote here in part a message that Our Lady, on June 2nd, 2015, allegedly gave to Mirjana:

…the time has come for acts of truth, for my Son. My love will work in you – I will make use of you…. do not be afraid to witness Truth. If you are not afraid and witness courageously, the truth will miraculously win, but remember, strength is in love. My children, love is repentance, forgiveness, prayer, sacrifice and mercy. If you will know how to love, by your works you will convert others, you will enable the light of my Son to penetrate into souls. (sublinierea mea)

I have some personal matters to tend to today as it turns out, and so in lieu of Part II, which I am still writing, I want to share this video that should, in fact, be seen by the entire world. It will leave many of you cheering and praising God for that love and truth that always, in the end, miraculously wins…

 

 

Vă mulțumim că ați sprijinit acest minister cu normă întreagă.
