In one of his sermons, Saint Alphonsus de Liguori warned, "'But God is merciful.' Behold another common delusion by which the Devil encourages sinners to persevere in a life of sin! A certain author has said that more souls have been sent to Hell by the mercy of God than by His justice. This is indeed the case; for men are induced by the deceits of the Devil to persevere in sin, through confidence in God's mercy; and thus they are lost.
God is merciful. Who denies it? But, great as His mercy is, how many does He every day send to Hell? God is merciful, But He is also just, and is, therefore, obliged to punish those who offend Him. And 'His mercy,' says the divine mother, extends 'to them that fear Him.' (Luke 1:50). But with regard to those who abuse His mercy and despise Him, He exercises justice...
The Lord pardons sins, But He cannot pardon the determination to commit sin. Saint Augustine says, that He who sins with the intention of repenting after his sins, is not a penitent but a scoffer. Irrisor est non poenitens. But the Apostle tells us that God will not be mocked. 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked.' (Gal 6:7). It would be a mockery of God to insult Him as often and as much as you pleased, and afterwards to expect eternal glory." (Saint Alphonsus de Liguori, Sermons For All the Sundays in the Year).
Modernists love to accuse faithful Catholics of rigidity. See here. But the truth is real, not "rigid" as Father Gerald Murray explains. See here.
Francis is a false prophet. See here. And there is evidence of Sociopathy in his background. See here.
THE CHURCH IN AGONY
ReplyDeletePenance Penance Penance
to avoid Divine vengeance
for not showing any remorse
and trying our will to enforce
The reign of the IMPOSTOR has arrived
the Church, of TRUTH is being deprived
the whole world hangs on his lips
while being readied for a total eclipse
The true followers of Christ
trying to pull off the heist
are persecuted for non-compliance
and being countered with defiance
When it will seem that all is lost
everything sacred has been tossed
God will deliver us from our agony
and reign forever in all His Majesty
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE

THE CHURCH IN GETHSEMANE
ReplyDelete-------------------------------------
The Ship of Peter is torn apart
Martyred in its Holy Teaching
It sinks and sinks, no work of art
The bottom though never reaching
Dissidents are screaming loud
Leaving behind an awful niff
Pretending to be proudly stout
Gearing the Ship into a cliff
Jesus shows His wounded Heart
Smitten with a deadly dart
Peter the Rock in desolation
Deploring severe desecration
Wake up, you Christian Brother
Show now your truthful face
With Mary our Heavenly Mother
We'll reach that Peaceful Place
In allegiance to the Holy Father
United in prayer and fasting
No victory will claim, but rather
Satan's defeat be everlasting.

in 2011 it was still Benedict XVI who was the reigning Pope NOT Prankcis
"There are two kinds of presumption. Either man presumes upon his own capacities, (hoping to be able to save himself without help from on high), or he presumes upon God's almighty power or his mercy (hoping to obtain his forgiveness without conversion and glory without merit)." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2092).
ReplyDeleteDr. Grisez explains that, "Remaining interested in God's promises and counting on him to keep them, those who sin by presumption continue to hope and even, to some extent, to shape their lives by hope. But, not consistently putting hope into practice, they abuse it, expecting pardon without repentance and the reward for following Jesus without the cost of discipleship. This unrealistic expectation is the essence of presumption. An element of pride underlies this sin. Rejecting God's terms for obtaining what he promises, the presumptuous expect to obtain it on their own. They suppose that God, like a blustery parent, threatens punishments which he will be too softhearted to carry out, and, like a permissive parent, accompanies his gift of freedom with a virtual guarantee to fend off the consequences of its irresponsible use. Such suppositions are inconsistent with faith, which not only depends on God's absolute truthfulness but also, assuring believers that God will do his part, calls them to do theirs, as grace empowers them to do.
However, the sin of presumption can be committed without denying any truth of faith. People determined not to fulfill the responsibilities of Christian life in some essential respect, yet, unwilling to face the prospective consequences, can resolve the tension by persuading themselves that somehow God will manage to save them despite themselves. This self-deception need not be logical enough to withstand critical reflection, since that is something the presumptuous manage to avoid...It also weakens hope. Rather than serving as the intention of all the choices which should make up Christian life, presumptuous hope renders many of them unnecessary and clears the way for a life-style apart from, and even sinfully at odds with, hope for the kingdom. Not being exercised, hope weakens as other interests grow strong. Eventually heaven, now taken for granted and regarded as irrelevant to present concerns, becomes a dim prospect, a mere fairyland which one used to yearn for but no longer finds exciting."
In the comments section of a Blog post written by a homosexual activist who regularly attempts to justify his homosexual "lifestyle" and even his same-sex "marriage" on the basis of Biblical and Church teaching, this confused individual writes, "We are a secular nation with the free right for all people to follow what they believe, so long as it does not harm others...God will somehow find a way for things to work out for the best."
That is presumption in a nutshell. Yes, we all have free will. But there are very real consequences for our actions. The presumptuous believe, as Dr. Grisez points out, that God will manage to save them despite themselves. Or, in the words of that homosexual activist, "God will somehow find a way for things to work out for the best."
Presumption is a sin against the Holy Spirit.
THE PRESENT SODOM AND GOMORRAH
ReplyDeleteThough I am the Light
you walk in the darkness
Though I am the Might
you follow the barkless
Though I am the Truth
you prefer the lier’s booth
Though I am the Way
you say it’s ok to be gay
Though I am the Life
you choose eternal death
Where weeping and gnashing is rife
and for sure there won’t be any Meth
Oh you stubborn generation
stop this horrific aberration
You keep flirting with the seducer
so don’t blame Me, blame the abuser
Though I am the utter Merciful
I’m also the eternal Just
Your behavior is extremely hurtful
My patience you finally bust.
Wake up and smell the coffee or it will be too late.
Lord, please, hasten Your Coming

THE WORLD ON HIS SICKBED
ReplyDeleteThis world is so sick
since it removed the brick
the cornerstone, the pillar
and became the “GOD” killer
The only healing medication
is not a “vaccination”
but a remorseful return
if not, this world will burn
When plagues afflict us
we act like a wuss
We freak out about Ebola
“ try some Granola”
a worse disease is rampant
it comes to us very lambent
it’s the disease of immorality
of lawlessness and bestiality
God, the infinitely Merciful and Just
keep challenging Him, He’ll combust
who do we mortals think we are
a new sparkle shining Dog Star ?
We beg of You, Our Lord and Savior
bring a halt to the world’s barbaric behavior
As Your loyal followers, to You we cry out
help us even if You have to use a knout
2 Peter 3:10
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

Read somewhere once that Angels tremble at the thought of the Last Judgement,it could not be on their own behalf ,their already in Heaven .
ReplyDeleteGo ahead call me rigid. Our precious and dear Lord would also be called the same.
ReplyDeleteThe spirit of delusion is strong all over the earth; it seems all the demons of hell have been released. And almost all the faithful are as sheep without a shepherd. Yes, some know that we must cling to the Good Shepherd but far too few.
ReplyDeleteA WORLD IN WORSHIP OF SATAN
ReplyDeleteNot a single day passes without killings
done in the most cold and horrific ways
each country has its dangerous villains
driven to perform their latest craze
Satan is a murderer and a thief
he is spitting God in His Face
he’s the devils commander in chief
in the war against the human race
The world drenched in total insanity
is guided by leaders in moral decay
causing the demise of us, humanity
bringing us closer to Judgment Day
O Lord, our Creator and Savior
how long will You let this go on
block this disgusting behavior
of our new luciferian Babylon
The world is a dangerous place
morals are under satan’s antenna
loving God is seen as a disgrace
they choose to live in a Gehenna
Satan knows his empire will end
thus works like crazy to collect
plenty of souls out of God’s Hand
but soon his plans will be wrecked.
Patiently waiting for Jesus’ return.
