Catholic during the Great Apostasy

The way of the cross, Lord, you have chosen

For love of us you have defeated death

But where are we ?

Do we accept the burdens of daily crosses ?

With the Mother of God under the Cross do we worship You ?

Or with the possessed crowd do we shout:

Crucify, crucify !

O how great the grace and love You have shown us !

Why then, with our sins, do we hammer more nails into Your innocent Body ?

Thou, our Lord Jesus Christ, lovingly accepted the Cross, suffering and cruel torments. For us, Your Blood dearest, invaluable treasure into the soil of Golgotha seeped. It marked not the winding paths by which people follow, but the straight road to Salvation.

Who wants to follow this path now? Who wants to help carry the burden of the cross?

Three times you fell, but you got up. And people have stopped rising from their sins. They seek justification by rejecting Your Heart, they do not wash their souls in Your Blood shed for them after all, they only wallow in the sins of this world.

I did not come to change the Law not an iota – these words for nothing they have and change, reject and break Your commandments.

The light they see is only a false fire in the swamp, so they rush by chased by Satan’s shepherds. Maybe it’s here, maybe it’s there – as long as they are farther from repentance and sorrow for their sins .

The closer to the lie the closer to hell!

The closer to the Truth the closer to Heaven!

The Mother of God pierced with swords of sorrow silently watches the passion of her Son. Who suffers more than the MOTHER watching her child being murdered?

Consider, then, your every sin, which like a whip tears the Savior’s body, but also tears the Heart of the Holy Mother. Meditate on the Passion of Christ accept that each of us with our evil deeds adds to their sorrows. But do not weep over the suffering of the Messiah, but weep over the plight of yourself and the people who reject the cross and condemn themselves. For such a great gift of love, directly inestimable, that God has given us, what do people repay with?

By rejecting what our Lord Jesus Christ has given us; by lack of respect, by lack of Sacrifice.

Reflecting on the scourging of our Lord, note also how similar this cruel flogging is to abortion. The torturers tear out pieces of the innocent body of the Beloved Savior, just as during abortions sometimes done in a very cruel way. Not whips, but scalpels and surgical forceps tear innocent bodies.

Remember if you support, even in your mind, the genocidal crime of murdering the unborn – you cannot call yourself a Christian, you are complicit in the crime.

So don’t shed tears over the Passion of the Messiah only for yourself, because very few are in favor of a total ban on abortion and very few join the way of the cross, which means that only very few will be saved.
