MEDJUGORJE THE MESSAGE: The Lord is NOT my SHEPHERD?
Dominus regit me. God's spiritual benefits to faithful souls.
[1] A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. [2] He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: [3] He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name' s sake. [4] For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me. [5] Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
[1] Ruleth me: In Hebrew, Is my shepherd, viz., to feed,
guide, and govern me.
[6] And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days
““The
Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach
you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you …
“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will
guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but will speak whatever
He hears, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will
glorify me, because He will take what is mine and declare it to you.” (John 14
and 16).
Since that first Pentecost, the Spirit has
been with the Church of Jesus in many ways, but one of the most concrete ways
in which we see the Holy Spirit at work is through the ministry of bishops.
Bishops are successors of the Apostles, upon
whom the Spirit first fell like tongues of flame. Their task, indeed my task,
is to do something of that which Jesus said the Spirit would do in His Church:
to live with and among God’s people, to teach them everything that Jesus
taught, and to lead them into all truth”.....

...now God has also set those people who abide by his shepherds into a
place of pasture which is within the sheepfold( the Church)...either we are in
this church spiritually and substantially conjoined to the bosom of the church
through the sacraments under supervision of the bishops themselves....or we are
only in this church in a physical sense..whereby we show up and talk the talk
but do not walk the walk... we do not live in love since we do not respect
rightfully appointed heirs to the apostles....we do not aspire for justice
since we are guiding our brothers and sisters by our own reason and not through
the church...indeed we open ourselves to the possibility of falling into a
pit...
...the rod and the staff of God are his
justice and his word..and this staff also alludes to the staff of the bishop or
his crozier (Pastoral Staff)...so we see we can have no comfort without the
staff of the bishop..this symbolizes justice and the allegiance to every word
of God as it proceeds from his mouth (intellect) through the bible and customs
edicts and traditions of the church....
..to say as i have heard that the Vatican
supersedes the local bishop is nonsense since we are then still left without a
decision..in the mean time we are unprotected from error....we are left to
ourselves to decide..indeed this is not the catholic church..it is Unitarianism..a
heresy
..indeed God is naturally present to every
created thing in every way irregardless of location..God is also gracefully
present in accordance to a person’s interior disposition...God is also
attentively present to those who call on him by order of his will...Supremely
God is present in the order of his Son (Jesus)..and finally God is mystically
present through his universal church which guards the earth from the gates of
hell...and so we see that in MEDJUGORJE God is not actively present or
mystically present through his church and his heir the local bishop of Mostar
who is indeed incompetent as we are told by the advocates of MEDJUGORJE....in
MEDJUGORJE we are not guarded from the gates of hell because we are not sure
according to the advocates of MEDJUGORJE as to what the church’s stance
is...indeed by them we are told the church has sanctioned pilgrimages and no
decision has been made however this is a case of the church contradicting
itself through a magisterial miscommunication....
...the table God has prepared is the banquet
feast of the mystical wedding in heaven which occurs after death and at the
final judgement when the church is finally wed to her mystical groom ..this is
achieved through obedience to the grooms wishes......the table can also be
considered to be the last supper table where Jesus sat and ate with his
disciples the first apostles..and so the table prepared for us in a spiritual
sense is one in which we are partakers of the spirit of the succession of the
apostles..at this table we will be provided with the food of the spirit which
will protect us from those who want to afflict us (sins and temptations) ...on the contrary at
MEDJUGORJE our table will be overturned since Jesus will use our sins as our
chastisement against us...
.... in MEDJUGORJE we see the table prepared as
described in scripture...
14 In the temple
precincts he came upon merchants selling oxen, sheep and doves, and
moneychangers seated at tables. 15 And when he had made a kind of whip from
cords, he drove everyone, including sheep and oxen, out of the temple, swept
away the gold of the money changers, and knocked over their tables. 16 To those
selling doves he said, “Get Out of here! And stop making my Father’s house into
a marketplace.” 17 His disciples then remembered that it is written: “Zeal for
your house consumes me.”....John 2:14-17
Thomas Aquinas tells us in his commentary of
the Gospel of St. John...
“383 This can be
understood mystically in three ways. First of all, the merchants signify those
who sell or buy the things of the Church: for the oxen, sheep and doves signify
the spiritual goods of the Church and the things connected with them. These
goods have been consecrated and authenticated by the teachings of the apostles
and doctors, signified by the oxen: “When there is an abundant harvest the
strength of the ox is evident” (Prv 14:4); and by the blood of the martyrs, who
are signified by the sheep: so it is said for them: “We are regarded as sheep
for the slaughter” (Rom 8:36): and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, signified
by the doves, for as stated above, the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a
dove. Therefore, those who presume to sell the spiritual goods of the Church
and the goods connected with them are selling the teachings of the apostles,
the blood of the martyrs, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit”….and he continues…
“He drives the men
out with a whip; and this is what he says, when he had made a kind of whip from
cords. This is something that could be done only by divine power. For as
Origen says, the divine power of Jesus was as able, when he willed, to quench
the swelling anger of men as to still the storms of minds: “The Lord brings to
nought the thoughts of men” (Ps 32:10). He makes the whip from cords because,
as Augustine says, it is from our own sins that he forms the matter with which
he punishes us: for a series of sins, in which sins are added to sins, is
called a cord: “He is bound fast by the cords of his own sins” (Prv 5:22); “Woe
to you who haul wickedness with cords” (Is 5:18). Then, just as he drove the
merchants from the temple, so he swept away the gold of the moneychangers and
knocked over their tables”
..Jesus will come upon the merchants or in
this case the SEERS of MEDJUGORJE and overturn their table and banish them(the
edict of the Bishop of Mostar) ...these SEERSwho are selling oxen(obedience)
the ox is an obedient animal, sheep (the faithful and the meek) to which the
seers of MEDJUGORJE are trying to mislead, and doves (the symbol of peace and
the holy spirit) by saying the SEERS themselves are over the authority of the
local ordinary who we are told is incompetent????....the SEERS usurp the church
and are a new vessel of the Holy Spirit....indeed this is interesting..we are told the Paraclete dwells substantially inside the church and works through its organs we as christians are moved by its fruits...since the SEERS have become a new authority we see something novel happening.... because of this usurping of the HOLY SPIRIT...we see sins which are directly against the HOLY SPIRIT....PRESUMPTION, OBSTINANCY, RESISTING THE KNOWN TRUTH, ENVY OF AUTHORITY OR ANOTHER'S SPIRITUAL WELFARE(the local bishop)....
....the
chalice which inebriates can be understood in a physical way as the
chalice of the mass..or it is the cup of obedience as Jesus in his passion
mentioned..Lord please take this cup from me...however in MEDJUGORJE we have no
cup of obedience..and so we have no inebriation with virtue...the reason is not
inebriated with faith in the creeds and traditions of the true church...the
reason is instead inebriated by its own fantasy since advocates are not
following rightful authority...the cup is empty of the spirit of unity and
filled with the beautiful poison of inordinate self-love in dereliction of the
duty to act from due diligence and
prudence....
