TradCatKnight: Pain, Change & New Life

Pain, Change & New Life

By: Eric Gajewski

There are many wondering why we are seeing so many disasters worldwide as of late and the answer is simple because God loves us. He is attempting to get man’s attention so that he can reroute his heart back unto His own Sacred Heart. He is purifying the lands stained with sin and making a new world for us. We are seeing this pain in the faces of those suffering in these areas of calamity but this is necessary. Pain brings forth change and change brings forth new life. Souls are asleep now in a dense darkness of sin. People have become selfish being guided by money (which will soon be taken away in the economic collapse). They are ruled by self not god thus God being the Creator is enacting His Plan for change in this world. It is nothing new if we look to the stories in Scripture demonstrating this time and time again. Furthermore, we can talk about this pain and change as it relates to the interior life. In this process of moving further into the divine life there is great pain and change. Thus many do not want to go through with the process but they do not realize if they want to take part in the beatific vision (heaven) they will ultimately have to pass through Purgatory first. Few even want to look at the Cross these days let alone have to carry one.

Salvation delayed. There are still too many valuing money and materials. They actually really think they know better than God if they even believe in Him. They think they have a better plan for their own lives than He. There are still too many scoffing at all the disasters happening saying it is just nature. Only a soul cutoff from grace and living in nature alone would say this as they are. Still others are saying I still got some time. Look at how fast Southeastern Texas and now Florida fell apart. Folks, this is only just the beginning. God is showing serious signs on the sun lately with all of massive solar flares thus we can expect only more devastating earthquakes. It is just a matter of time. Time which sinners don’t have for the hour of repentance and conversion is now. God is going to continue to visit when people least expect it.

Change is painful. No, I am not talking about theological change but rather changing from the natural into the supernatural life. Sadly, there are still some people who think that all they have to do is get to a safe state and wait out the Tribulation. These people wont stand a chance without being in a state of grace. These people don’t want to change they love themselves too much and self is the archenemy of salvation. How many do you know who live comfortable lives and think there 17 pallets of peanut butter will save them in the days ahead? The day we put others first will be the day bloodshed in the streets stop but sadly as the law of self would dictate this will not be the case. Man has forgotten His God and abandon the Truth which is the Catholic Faith. Those following Vatican II are not following truth as well therefore God has to implement His plan for change.

Example of the pregnant woman. The woman who wants to give birth to a new life knows she will go through serious change. Her moods and body will change drastically but it is all apart of Selfless Love’s sacrifice for something greater than she. She knows the pains to come and endures them patiently (or should). This example applies to the spiritual life. Do you embrace for the changes ahead within your own soul? Are you ready for the Crosses coming in your life in the Tribulation? Do you not see He is trying to bring new life about in you? The pregnant woman ought be excited for the day her child arrives into this earth but why do so many not want this union with God? Why do they resist Love’s work and fear the “stretchmarks” afterward? This is because we still love ourselves. Sadly, few woman even want to have children today and even fewer larger families. This also applies to the spiritual life for the vast majority of women are on hell’s highway avoiding the pain which will bring forth change in their lives.

Pain eventually associated with Love. There comes a point in the spiritual life as you come to Union with God that you realize that pain is love. Suffering is Love and Love suffers. It is always trying to renew. This does not happen to the everyday Catholic because the majority of Catholics reside in the lower floors of the Fortress with their inner eyes still focused on the world and man. They still seek themselves and pleasures. If we would only meditate for 15 minutes daily upon the Passion of Our Lord we would begin to see that this path of pain brings them to Easter morning. Love can’t die. Although pain comes and go so long as we decide so…Love will remain with us and ultimately transform us if we continue on this path of perfection. When the Mother sees her child for the first time she might be at the point of death literally but all fades away when she beholds Love’s fruit. Yea, in this path to a person’s own mystical death we must realize that pain precedes any change and that to rise we must first descend off of our own high horse as St. Paul. Self is the killer of souls. In the end all of the pain is worth it to reach the Face of God in never-ending bliss...
