MEDJUGORJE A SPIRITUAL
APOSTROPHE
"Is this dagger which i see before me,
The handle toward my hand?
Come, let me clutch thee!
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still."
-Shakespeare - Macbeth
…here Shakespeare
utilizes apostrophe when he scripts Macbeth envisioning an imaginary dagger
which is symbolic of the internal conflict he feels owing to his estranged
mental state before murdering Duncan…
..the
etymology of the word apostrophe comes from the Greek (to turn away) and this
is exactly what we see happening at MEDJUGORJE…the turning away of the faithful
from the Church as it is towards a fabricated Church as it is not or as it
exists in the minds of those who construct an imaginary notion of what they
wish it to be…
..in literature
apostrophe is a figure of speaking whereby one detaches themself from reality
and addresses an imaginary character...such a device allows one to describe a
latent feeling or to frame an abstract idea so as to make it more palpable..
...now by utilizing
all traditional means of discernment that have been established by Churchmen and
women throughout the ages one comes to the plausible conclusion that what we
see occurring at MEDJUGORJE is a spiritual apostrophe...
...whereby people are
trying to express through visions and fantasy betrayals of the world and
loneliness which have made their lives dreary and bleak...by organizing
themselves around this spiritual apostrophe they are better able to come to
terms with their inner psychological athetosis...in this way such a make
believe phenomenon helps assuage their inner turmoil...
..however such
cleaving to things apparently seen signal something wrong with the faith..since
the faith is characterized by hope in the things not seen which bolsters a
spiritual poverty and humility towards authority of Christ and his Agents...
..so this is why we
see so much disobedience to Church authority at MEDJUGORJE since such adherents
have attached themselves to spiritual apostrophe which deals in abstraction and
feeling which are the fruits of the self and entirely subjective...while the
Church deals with a spirituality that is concrete and actual since it emanates
from God who is pure act and pure reality....
..let us all protect
ourselves from error and encompass ourselves by an aspect of recollection in
silence and truth as it flows from God as he really is not as we wish him to
be.....amen
