The way of holiness is the way of purification

The way of holiness is the way of purification. We need to be healed by Jesus, little by little, of all kinds of wounds or bad habits. This mostly concerns our soul. Suffering is usually spiritual rather than physical, but the various sufferings lead to deliverance and healing. We suffer, for example, when we face the truth about ourselves, our neighbours and the world. It is so simple and yet so disguised. In essence, we need to begin to live the Gospel to the full.

“For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.”

What does the word heir express? The Word of God says that if we are children, we are also heirs. And how do we become children of God? By receiving Jesus: “As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (Jn 1:12) Salvation, which Jesus obtained for us through His blood in a hard struggle on Calvary, is given us freely as an inheritance through faith. We should obtain grace for other people too, that they also may receive Jesus and share in the inheritance of eternal life after death.

Das Geheimnis von Fatima nach 100 Jahren - Erster Teil: Apostasie in der Kirche (in German)

Post date:   2017-12-16

Dieses Jahr ist der 100. Jahrestag der Marienerscheinungen in Fatima. Was ist diesen Erscheinungen vorausgegangen und was folgte danach? Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es zur Aufklärung. Nach der Aufklärung im 19. Jahrhundert folgte das Moderne Zeitalter. Es führte zur Zerstörung der grundlegenden Wahrheiten des Christentums – zur Apostasie in der Kirche. Das Papsttum wurde missbraucht, um einen Prozess des Autogenozids der Kirche einzuleiten. Johannes XXIII. und Paul VI. haben während ihres gesamten Papsttums die Ketzereien gefördert. Deshalb war und ist das Zweite Vatikanische Konzil ungültig und diese Päpste müssen als Ketzer posthum aus der Kirche exkommuniziert werden! Sie begangen ein weit größeres Verbrechen als Papst Honorius, der posthum aus der Kirche exkommuniziert wurde (vgl. Bulle von Paul IV. "Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio"). Dies ist der erste Schritt zur wahren Buße für die Apostasie in der Kirche!

Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

The Apostle asks: Does this blessedness, stemming from faith, come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? The Jews were very particular about circumcision and related it to the whole religious system of certain rites. The danger has always been that an emphasis on secondary things eliminates the essence – here the essence of salvation, which consists in personal relationship to God. Salvation depends on the saving faith based on the awareness that I am a sinner in the sight of God, which should lead me to humility and at the same time to trustful prayer for the forgiveness of my sins.

The putting off of the old self and the putting on of the new self begins in our mind

The process of putting off the old self and putting on the new self begins in our mind! Human nature, without respecting the law of the Gospel, reacts in the same way in essence: envy towards others, rivalry, envy when someone has something better, when someone has spiritual gifts, or even when someone carries a cross, and on the other hand self-pity and sulkiness (both before God and people). This all takes the subtlest forms, but it is in essence our “self” which refuses to humble itself, to live in uncertainty, to obey God and to submit to Him.

Tajemnica Fatimy po 100 latach - Część 1: Apostazja w Kościele (+ wideo - Polish version)

  W tym roku minęło 100 lat od zjawienia w Fatimie. Co tomu poprzedziło i co miało nastąpić?   W XVIII wieku nastąpiło oświecenie. W XIX wieku z oświecenia wyłania się modernizm. W rzeczywistości chodziło o zniszczenie podstawowych prawd chrześcijaństwa – o apostazje w Kościele. Papieski rząd był nadużyty, aby wprowadzić proces auto-genocydu w Kościele. Jan XXIII i Paweł VI, jako papieże, rozwinęli herezje. Dlatego Sobór Watykański II był i jest nieprawidłowy, a te papieże jako heretycy powinni być pośmiertnie ekskomunikowane z Kościoła! Oni popełnili wiele większą przestępczość niż papież Honoriusz, który został pośmiertnie ekskomunikowany z Kościoła (zob. Bulla Pawła IV «Cum ex Apostolatus Officio»). To pierwszy krok w kierunku prawdziwej pokuty za apostazje w Kościele!
