When Human Moral Compasses Spin Out of Control

Lost: people get lost. They need a Guide.

Gravitationally resistant: people start losing the ability to feel grounded, and feel like they are floating away, untethered from the secure reality of Earth’s forces. They need an Anchor.

Bi-directional: people walk in two, directly-0pposite directions at the same time. They need a Stop Sign.

Trans-directional: people make an abrupt, seemingly permanent change in direction which opposes the innate, permanent force which tugs on them, always calling them back to their original direction. They need a Reset.

Quasi-balanced: people try to appear balanced, but the inner workings are not properly aligned. They need a Calibrator.

 

Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” [John 14:6]

The Guide is Jesus…Show them the Way.
Lord, have mercy.

The Anchor is Jesus…Pull them down to safety.
Christ, have mercy.

The Stop Sign is Jesus…Prevent them from crashing.
Lord, have mercy.

The Reset is Jesus….Make them new again.
Christ, have mercy.

The Calibrator is Jesus…Re-Balance their lives.
Lord, have mercy.

 

For all souls suffering from LGBTQ forces, we pray for the Lord’s compassionate mercy and ultimate healing:

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

Infant Jesus: “…in the womb, I knew you…”

At today’s Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Gospel reading was on the Wedding at Cana.  The pastor really “hit home” when he mentioned that, at the prompting of Mother Mary, the good Lord Jesus miraculously made somewhere between 150 and 180 gallons of really, really high-quality wine for the wedding party.  This showed the Lord’s generosity – he did not just respond to Mother Mary’s prompting; He was zealous, providing an overabundance of the best wine!  St. John goes on to demonstrate Jesus’s divine generosity throughout the Gospel.

Now, the pastor used this homily as an occasion to speak about abortion, especially since the National March for Life will be happening next Friday on the 43d anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

Infant Jesus: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”

During his homily, he quoted Jeremiah 1:5:

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

But, as the priest was saying this, I saw, in my mind, the Infant Jesus standing before me with arm and hand raised, and He was saying the same words.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

The picture to the left does not do it justice.  The Infant Jesus was even younger and He had his right arm up and his hand and finger extended upward – as if He were blessing me.

Now, it is the finger of God which wrote the Ten Commandments onto the two tablets which Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai.  As such, we are reminded that what the Infant Jesus says is God’s Word – His Truth, and it is to be believed as written.  All human life is known and precious to Him, even before they are born.

Let there be no misunderstanding about the reality of the human personage and sacred dignity of all unborn human beings, and let those who have aborted their children or who helped others to do so seek the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary,  repent, seek full rest and mercy and healing in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, join in the overabundance and generosity of the Lord’s Wedding Feast, and then witness to others about the Truth.

Six (6) Moral Imperatives for Humanity

  When praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, one can find six moral imperatives for humanity.  Inasmuch as these mysteries reflect upon the entrance of God into Humanity, these mysteries can also reflect the entrance of Morality into humanity.  

1. The Annunciation / Human Dignity:  All human life must be treated with the dignity commenserate with its potential capacity for charity, creation and innovation.

2. The Visitation / Human Freedom:  All human life must be permitted the freedom to pursue peace and prosperity.

3. The Nativity / Human Fullness:  All human life must be permitted to achieve fullness of natural life, become who it is meant to be, from natural conception to natural death.  

4. The Presentation / Human Fruitfulness:  All human life must be permitted to present itself for service to humanity, to be fruitful in service to each other.

5. The Finding / Human Truthfulness:  All human life must strive to be truthful in all its works.

6. Hail, Holy Queen / Human Compliance:  All humanity must comply with the aforementioned moral imperatives by obedience to that authority appointed for the good of humanity.

  

LGBT is not the “new black” or the “new woman”

A very good and convincing analysis. The author states “Yet, let us suppose that such a gene was found. Such discovery would still be irrelevant, because there is the element of free-will. LGBT, ipso facto, is a behaviour unless you believe that human beings are slaves to their genes. However, such deterministic worldview is more dismal than the worldview presented by the alternative side that says those who face this orientation can and do overcome it and live normal lives. I would much rather believe that I am the master of my own destiny than the slave of my genes.”
