Sunday Reflection: WILL YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION?

Sunday Reflection: 

WILL YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION? 

Why do we choose to do the evil which we hate while we refrain from doing the good which we love?  The answer is in the reality of original sin.  This truth revealed in the second chapter of Genesis must be overcome through the gift of grace in baptism followed up by mortification and the reception of holy communion.  "Unless you eat my Body and drink my Blood, you have no Aeos (= eternal life) in you."  Only our friendship with Our Lord Jesus Christ can conquer the effects of original sin. 

 

Our friendship with the Spouse of the Mystical Body was prepared by the Father Who preferred us from all eternity and desires to re-bond us to Himself through the blood of His only begotten Son.  It is this mystical banquet which is the wedding feast of His Son.  The Jews were invited first but they found the world too appealing and went off to their farms, their businesses, their law firms.  They reject the eternal in exchange for a temporal happiness. 

These same Jews shunned the prophets who foretold the coming of Christ and killed those who warned them of the future gift of God.  They would even kill the Author of Life Itself because He was "too Holy", He made Himself God.  They refused to eat the fattened calves representing those who feasted on the word of God.  They would bow to the "prince of this world" and scorn the King of Kings.  What a poor exchange they made and what a treasure they lost. 

 

Now it is the Gentile turn to be tested.  The banquet and its feast have been prepared and who will accept the invitation that was rejected by the Jew. Stand all you Gentiles and rejoice in the life of grace (friendship with God) which was offered to us through the holy sacrifice of the Lamb of God.  All who hear the word of God feast on the fatted calf and enjoy the wine of eternal life.  What a joy to keep our hearts fixed in the eternal!

 

But what has happened to this vision?  Vatican II and the onslaught of modernist priests, brothers, sisters, cardinals, bishops and Popes are rejecting the only true sacrifice and replacing that substantial banquet with a meal from McDonalds and it does not satisfy.  The new meal mass is an abomination intensifying day by day with new and more outrageous sacrileges taking souls from their eternal destiny. The Jews have influenced the Gentiles (= us) with bad example and now we are following in the same path of rejecting the eternal banquet prepared for those who humble themselves before the Almighty as Jesus humbled Himself before us.

Do not be deceived brothers, sisters, mom, dad, aunt and uncle. The sacrifice is the test of humility and to reject it for a human construct of a mass is insane. Modernism has constructed a man-god which has made this culture divine and subordinated the words and actions of Our Lord to it.  Christ is Lord of all cultures and not vice-versa.  There is but one Christ; there is but one baptism; there is but one sacrifice and there is but one faith. 

 

 

The test:  Will you stand up to the world and hold onto your faith in Christ Jesus?  Will you retain the sacrifice of the Cross or chose a mason manipulated meal?  Will you accept the invitation to eternal life or fall short of your destiny by an infatuation with the world?  The choice is left to us for God invites all of us to love Him forever?  The other direction leads to a Satanic ego which rejected God and cried out "I will not serve!'' 

Choose the eternal and forget the temporal. 

In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
