We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Of all that have tried the selfish experiment, let one come forth and say he has succeeded. He that has made gold his idol, has it satisfied him? He that has toiled in the field of ambition, has he been repaid? He that has ransacked every theater of sensual enjoyment, is he content? Can any answer in the affirmative? Not one!
Samuel Johnson

To think that everyone in heaven is equally knowledgeable, equally holy, equally capable or enjoying God, is to argue that the progress we make now on earth is irrelevant to our heavenly state. But we are often exhorted to do things now precisely because it will build up and increase for us treasure in heaven. Not everyone responds to these commands in the same way or to the same degree or with the same measure of faithfulness. Thus people will enter heaven at differing degrees of holiness, love, and joy. All will be subject to increase and expansion based on the depth and measure of our development here on earth. What we do and know and achieve now, by God’s grace, will have eternal consequences.

    Our Lady

    (Notre Dame)

    Called to Preach

    From The Columbus Dispatch, we read the following advertisement; it is printed over a photograph of the face of a statue of Mary. “Our Lady invited you to a presentation of messages, Sunday, May 5th, at Six Pence School sponsored by Messengers of Our Lady, Box 15773, Columbus, Ohio. Since 1970, our Blessed Lady and her divine Son appeared to Mrs. Veronica Lueken, mother of five children, during rosary vigils in New York City. Our lady predicts WWIII plus a fiery comet chastisement leading to the death of 3.5 billion humans, unless man reforms. Rosaries and brown scapulars all blessed by Jesus and Mary with powers of cure and conversion, free admission, all welcome.”

    No thanks, I plan a fishing trip.
