MEDJUGORJE | POPE FRANCIS DOUBTS MEDJUGORJE APPARITIONS

MEDJUGORJE | RES IPSA LOQUITOR SED QUID IN INFERNOS DICET ?



...It Seems the Voice of Reason has finally been summoned...let us with a sincere and perfect charity put this charade behind us as a family of God...and strive to strive for humility...let us hear the voice of God in the stillness of our own hearts...and the travails of our neighbor...if we have won our neighbor...indeed we have seen God...Amen

MEDJUGORJE | THE MYSTICAL TREE OF PRAYER...

from...THE CELL OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE....THE CUNNING PRAYER OF MEDJUGORJE

 
 
..on a soul’s journey to God a balanced life of virtue is altogether necessary...for the virtues may be taken in a symbolic sense to be our hands and feet and all the senses of a bodily nature..yet this should be taken to be understood in a spiritual sense..so it follows our eyes denote discernment by which we may practice prudence and work our salvation in fear (temperance) and trembling (felicity)...when one trembles out of love such a soul is ensconced with solicitude...solicitude is a fruit of charity..as we are told in the Gospel without charity we are nothing..since God is the cause of charity in all things..and he indeed has created us from nothing...


 
..accordingly if we are to practice prayer in just manner we must first imbue our prayer with temperance...for temperance is nothing more than the fear of the Lord..or more rightly fear of the loss of the Lord’s beneficence...yet so that our temperance does not drag us down into desperation and sorrow from thinking of our sinfulness and our short life which is empty without God..we must append to our temperance the thought of God’s mercy..and in this way our prayer becomes balanced...for if we pray while thinking our time is short and our need for correction of faults is great (reform) then we must understand that also the action of God’s mercy in such a sincere  soul is also great...and so the two virtues of temperance and hope meet...with the two concerns in our minds of avoiding evil (temperance) and the belief in God’s mercy (hope) which actuates within us the desire to do good we are able to move forward in prayer...

 
..it is with the staff of hope and temperance that we are able to support our soul in all good action...thus we are equipped to climb up to the peak of perfection which is the perfect love of God..which can only be begun in this life and realized in the next...


...and so everything for God must be done swiftly and gladly..swiftly out of fear and gladly out of hope & a loving trust in his mercy...it follows we must obey our spiritual Authorities swiftly and gladly..through temperance and hope and love...

 ..for it is prayer of this kind which is most pleasing to God...for this is prayer which characterizes poverty of spirit..which is nothing more than mortification of the will...and it is impossible to have any reward from God without this sort of prayer...so that anyone who fasts, or does strict penance or who preaches very cunningly will not receive such a great reward as that soul who perseveres in simple prayer guided by the staff of hope and temperance...since holy obedience is borne out of temperance.. we obey those precepts from God who we fear the loss of due to the privation of good which will occur if we deny the efficacy of his precepts...

 

..yet we see at the phenomenon in MEDJUGORJE...there is not this balance of hope and temperance..there is no obedience borne of temperance ...for with most adherents we have hope in God’s mercy..yet we have no fear of God’s ordinance which comes through the office of the local BISHOP..as well as the decrees of HOLY MOTHER CHURCH...




...the culprit at MEDJUGORJE is IGNORANCE..affected in some cases supine or crass in many cases...it is ignorance which which makes people value penance..such as fasting, kneeling, saying many prayers with no interior disposition but only the sake of the length and quantity..such people think that bodily work is able to take them to the heavenly abode..and they do not understand the value of the spiritual virtues....this is why a REVERENT affection is required..yet in MEDJUGORJE we do not see this..we see affection without reverence to the precepts of HOLY MOTHER CHURCH....and so such prayer is empty of virtue yet it is full of bodily emotion..and this is a character of the spirit of the world which is not entirely of GOD...it is a product of fallen man or ORIGINAL SIN...it is borne of concupiscence...

 

..this is why fasting cannot replace charity..for charity is a bond of love which unites one to the other through holy fear and hope..while fasting without virtue becomes a pious exercise with no merit in itself rather it becomes a concord of wills opposed to the precepts of MOTHER CHURCH which occurs in many schismatic sects....




...and so now we must understand that reverent affection when borne out of temperance and hope may be compared mystically to a tree full of FRUIT...

 

...fear (temperance) becomes the root of the mystical tree of prayer..since this is the part which is the anchor and enclosed in the ground...hope becomes the part which is above the ground..and in this manner our hope is the trunk and the branches of the tree of prayer...since our hope is certain in the certitudes of the deposit of the faith in this way it is a strong trunk and upright in righteousness..and since this hope stirs us to do good works it is the branches which reach out to others in the spiritual life...

 
..the FRUIT of the mystical tree of prayer is the reverent affection...as long as our reverent affection remains attached to the tree..this means to say as long as we do not trust in God and all his precepts of HOLY MOTHER CHURCH then the fruit of our prayer retains the green smell of the tree (the self will)..this is not poverty of spirit..but inordinate self love..which bears the fruits of spiritual gluttony borne of pride and denial of any authority but one’s own.... and this is a fruit most fit for servants rather than for the KING (GOD)...yet when we separate the fruit (reverent affection) from the tree at the right time it becomes ripe and pleasing and tender since it is the fruit of TRUST & FAITH..without obedience to God’s ministers there is no trust and our fruit is green..yet when we obey God’s apostles who are acting within their authority and who do not condone sin our fruit is ripe and pleasing to God..since this is the fruit of justice and charity...since we do not withdraw any good from God’s ministers which they are owed due to the power of their Authority which has been vested in them by GOD himself....

 

..and so such ripe fruit is no more than loving GOD for HIMSELF..and not for any benefit or any gift which we wish to receive..but rather for the sake of the community of believers which we have been given the grace to love God in the first place..  to strengthen the unity within the Church....

 

..let us all examine ourselves with a conscience that is guided by the precepts of HOLY MOTHER CHURCH.....amen

MEDJUGORJE | POPE'S VERDICT APPEARS IMMINENT...

MEDJUGORJE A SHRINE TO CONSEQUENTIALISM


....according to another slurried speculation the MEDJUGORJE VERDICT is imminent...of course we are told by the MEDJUGORJE protagonists in a discreetly antagonistic way that the voice of the local ORDINARY is inconsequential... over 30 years of conceited flippant evasions of Episcopal supplication have occurred...  Church Canons 823 and 824 which call for the diffusion of alleged private revelations to be brought before a Church authority before dissemination to the laity have  duly been orphaned..for  UTILITARIAN CONSEQUENTIALISM...
 
..an apparent good which has succoured the credulity of an exaggerated curiosity...
 
...we are told....
 
 
FATHER INZA
 
"Pope Francis is waiting for the right moment for his verdict on Medjugorje, and well-informed sources say it is not far away, writes Spanish priest who often visited. Medjugorje will achieve shrine status and the authenticity of the apparitions will be neither confirmed nor dismissed, he further tells."
 
-MEDJUGORJE TODAY
 
...and so 4 years of study and another commission have been wasted...for the apparitions can neither be confirmed or denied..are we to believe that the magisterium of the Catholic CHurch is so less than assiduous..are we to believe that after four years based on the absence of any prodigious supernatural phenomenon that the Catholic Churchmen could not consummate a verdict..that the verdict of POPE Francis will be NO VERDICT..????
 
...in the usual temerarious way we are told shrine status will most likely be granted at MEDJUGORJE..yet how is one to reconcile the fact that two local ORDINARIES have not succumbed to the pressure of all the apparent good occurring at this place...instead these stalwart benefactors of Christ’s Commission have stood by the ideals of the Catholic Church...they have not bowed to officious lies...HONESTY is INDEED the best policy.....

..if effect we are told the VATICAN is against the local Bishop at MEDJUGORJE...and we have a spiritual house at loggerheads...yet JESUS has told us in his GOSPEL...
 
And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [25] And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand
 
MARK 3:24-25

 

…in a literal sense we may understand this to mean a household, in a mystical sense we may take this to mean a soul, or an ideal yet either way if we do not have congruency of intention then we cannot have truth..truth implies the absence of contradiction…without truth nothing is good..for we cannot separate the two concepts…

 

..true our salvation does not depend on private revelations..and so the Church will not fall if MEDJUGORJE is afforded shrine status as a Pastoral addendum..for the Church has not attempted to change the deposit of faith..still we cannot compromise the Church’s ideology..if we do… a creeping syncretic element will have won..as a matter of principle we are not to do wrong so that a good may come out of it…by issuing shrine status here we are lauding all the disobedience which has occurred throughout the history of this phenomenon.. this is a bad example the Catholic Church will be promulgating… as the Bastion and Champion of TRUTH…we would expect more integrity of mind & tenacity in the face of whimsical faddishism

..in the history of MEDJUGORJE there have been many disciplinary and doctrinal irrregularities presented..from the state of souls in paradise to the issue of the cromulent date for OUR Lady’s Nativity…

 
…regarding lies it must be noted from the Catholic Encyclopedia..

 

But if the common teaching of Catholic theology on this point be admitted, and we grant that lying is always wrong, it follows that we are never justified in telling a lie, for we may not do evil that good may come: the end does not justify the means. What means, then, have we for protecting secrets and defending ourselves from the impertinent prying of the inquisitive? What are we to say when a dying man asks a question, and we know that telling him the truth will kill him outright? We must say something, if his life is to be preserved: he would at once detect the meaning of silence on our part. The great difficulty of the question of lying consists in finding a satisfactory answer to such questions as these. St. Augustine held that the naked truth must be told whatever the consequences may be. He directs that in difficult cases silence should be observed if possible.

 

..let us all pray together in one communion so that God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven ....amen

MEDJUGORJE | HAS POPE FRANCIS REACHED A DECISION....?????

Medjugorje Pope Francis...St. BONAVENTURE...The mind’s Road to GOD


 




“Recently, the Provincial of the Franciscans here in Medjugorje (Fr. Miljenko Steko, ed.) was in Rome for a meeting of Superiors of religious communities. In the course of that stay in Rome, he along with so many others had a few moments personally with Pope Francis” Fr. Kevin Devine began his account of Fr. Miljenko Steko’s meeting with the Pope.

“Pope Francis was standing there, welcoming them, and the Provincial said ”I am the Provincial of the area in which Medjugorje is located.” And the Holy Father’s response was: ”Pray that I have made the right decision”. And we are happy for that and we continue to pray that his decision will be announced soon, and of course we are sure that his discernment and his decision-making is guided especially by the Holy Spirit. But keep those prayers going” Fr. Kevin Devine continued.

 

..a trans-iteration of a communiqué according to a MEDJUGORJE TABLOID...Medjugorje Today..

 

...now this deliberately nebulous information is par for the course apropos the reporting of MEDJUGORJE TODAY...historically the only wholesome message we have from this encampment of artificial journalism is the call to PRAY....for as Saint Bonaventure tells us in his treatise the MIND’S ROAD TO GOD..


 
By praying thus one is enlightened about the knowledge of the stages in the ascension to God.

-SAINT BONAVENTURE

...yes we are supplicated to pray..however at MEDJUGORJE not in a like-minded manner...conjoined through the communion of Saints..which is the  most efficacious portal...

..without unified prayer we unwittingly place obexes to grace in our will...and so the fruits of such prayer are green and callow...rather than ripe and tender..the rind of such callow and green fruit is not fit for the KING (GOD)...and so we see such self centred prayer...albeit better in degrees than no prayer at all...such dis-consonance of wills is not pleasing to God who by his very nature is ONE...and so we should approach God in a spirit of togetherness..through his BISHOPS..not through seers who lack tenability...

..since the MESSAGE of MEDJUGORJE is one of a subversive spirit..albeit well intentioned in some cases..yet the MINDs of the supplicants are not requited to the Commission of Christ...whereby Jesus spiritually extended his hand to his faithful to follow the Successors of his Brethren...THE BISHOPS

...indeed God is not bound by his sacraments..and so is able to cull good from evil preveniently & extra-accessorily...


 
...Now from Saint Bonaventure we hear the true road to God is through prayer..however it must be qualified that this prayer must be based in justice, knowledge, wisdom..in order for one’s prayer to be pleasing to God it must be a just prayer...and if we ignore BISHOP’s in Good standing our prayer is not just but becomes self-serving partiality..which is not intellectualy or spiritually  buttressing the COMMON GOOD..and this type of spirit is repugnant to a spirit of charity which is a bond of love where we wish our neighbour friendship through God in the same measure which we wish such a friendship for ourselves....

..If our MINDS are not mingled in affection intention and will then our intellect must laver these articles of passion so that we SEE together as one..and by seeing as one we will accomplish as one..and by so doing strengthen the CHURCH.... rather than subvert it through false festivals and insouciant recalcitrance for CHURCH AUTHORITY...

Now let us hear what BONAVENTURE  tells us Regarding humankind's place in the order of nature and the most economical way by which we can mount the ladder of the ascent to GOD...
 

 

7. Now at the Creation, man was made fit for the repose of contemplation, and therefore God placed him in a paradise of delight [Gen. 2:16]. But turning himself away from the true light to mutable goods, he was bent over by his own sin, and the whole human race by original sin, which doubly infected human nature, ignorance infecting man's mind and concupiscence his flesh. Hence man, blinded and bent, sits in the shadows and does not see the light of heaven unless grace with justice succor him from concupiscence, and knowledge with wisdom against ignorance. All of which is done through Jesus Christ, Who of God is made unto us wisdom and justice and sanctification and redemption [I Cor. 1:30]. He is the virtue and wisdom of God, the Word incarnate, the author of grace and truth--that is, He has infused the grace of charity, which, since it is from a pure heart and good conscience and unfeigned faith, rectifies the whole soul in the threefold way mentioned above. He has taught the knowledge of the truth according to the triple mode of theology--that is, the symbolic, the literal, and the mystical--so that by the symbolic we may make proper use of sensible things, by the literal we may properly use the intelligible, and by the mystical we may be carried aloft to supermental levels.

8. Therefore he who wishes to ascend to God must, avoiding sin, which deforms nature, exercise the above-mentioned natural powers for regenerating grace, and do this through prayer. He must strive toward purifying justice, and this in intercourse; toward the illumination of knowledge, and this in meditation; toward the perfection of wisdom, and this in contemplation. Now just as no one comes to wisdom save through grace, justice, and knowledge, so none comes to contemplation save through penetrating meditation, holy conversation, and devout prayer. Just as grace is the foundation of the will's rectitude and of the enlightenment of clear and penetrating reason, so, first, we must pray; secondly, we must live holily; thirdly, we must strive toward the reflection of truth and, by our striving, mount step by step until we come to the high mountain where we shall see the God of gods in Sion [Ps. 83:8]

9. Since, then, we must mount Jacob's ladder before descending it, let us place the first rung of the ascension in the depths, putting the whole sensible world before us as a mirror, by which ladder we shall mount up to God, the Supreme Creator, that we may be true Hebrews crossing from Egypt to the land promised to our fathers; let us be Christians crossing with Christ from this world over to the Father [John 13:1]; let us also be lovers of wisdom, which calls to us and says, "Come over to me, all ye that desire me, and be filled with my fruits" [Ecclesiasticus 24:26]. For by the greatness of the beauty and of the creature, the Creator of them may be seen [Wisdom 13:5].

 

...and so we are told without justice and knowledge we cannot ascend to God through his traces..for to do so would be  conspiring against the truth...we gain justice through apprehension of the laws of God..as outlined in the precepts of MOTHER CHURCH...and we gain knowledge through  the supermental illumination received by revelation..the deposit of faith...we must trust the custodians of this deposit

 

..let us follow Our magisterium so that we may be of one mind..amen

MEDJUGORJE | MESSAGE CONTRADICTS THE GOSPEL....

MEDJUGORJE | WITHOUT CHARITY I AM NOTHING.....

 
...Any Christian worth their salt is familiar with the Gospel Verse from the First Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians...
 

 
Charity is to be preferred before all gifts.
 [1] If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. [2] And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3] And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. [4] Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; [5] Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth; [7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. [8] Charity never falleth away: whether prophecies shall be made void, or tongues shall cease, or knowledge shall be destroyed. [9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

1 Corinthians 13:1-10

....now as CHristians we must ask ourselves what is meant by Charity..for many who owing to the Spirit of Nature or fallen humankind have a skewed notion of Charity...some believe Charity to be almsgiving..and so they mistake this gift or this theological virtue which is nothing more than a bond of love with which we wish to possess our neighbour and God in the same bond of friendship...in this way Charity connotes unity of will...

..Thomas Aquiinas tells us what this friendship comprises...



I answer that, According to the Philosopher (Ethic. viii, 2,3) not every love has the character of friendship, but that love which is together with benevolence, when, to wit, we love someone so as to wish good to him. If, however, we do not wish good to what we love, but wish its good for ourselves, (thus we are said to love wine, or a horse, or the like), it is love not of friendship, but of a kind of concupiscence. For it would be absurd to speak of having friendship for wine or for a horse.Yet neither does well-wishing suffice for friendship, for a certain mutual love is requisite, since friendship is between friend and friend: and this well-wishing is founded on some kind of communication.Accordingly, since there is a communication between man and God, inasmuch as He communicates His happiness to us, some kind of friendship must needs be based on this same communication, of which it is written (1 Corinthians 1:9): "God is faithful: by Whom you are called unto the fellowship of His Son." The love which is based on this communication, is charity: wherefore it is evident that charity is the friendship of man for God.



..and so one sees that Charity is based on a friendship of well wishing for another...true we are able to wish well for others without true Charity...and this well wishing if not based in the precepts of the Church is only a friendship based in self-love not in charity...of course God wants us to love ourselves ..however we are not to make our decisions based on self-love exclusively..we are to base our decisions on the precepts of Holy Mother Church..so that our friendships will draw others into the unity of the fold and by so doing all of our respective willing will be willed by ONE...who is God..and so the words of the Our Father will be made real..Thy Kingdom Come Thy WILL Be Done....

..yet at MEDJUGORJE we see a message from the Gospa which tells us that Charity is not important.. so our friendship here is based on selfhood..and not concerned with unity...of course this is a direct contradication of the Gospel and indeed is very troubling....indeed this could be a human error of transcription..where the Gospa stated one thing and through the human filter of the alleged seer we hear something else..however..if it is really the Virgin speaking at Medjugorje one doubts that she would make such a gross error..since CHarity is the life blood of the Church and without it we are lost..so too the Gospa would teach the seers the difference between Charity and ALmsgiving...so we see the Message from July 21, 1982...


"The best fast is on bread and water. Through fasting and prayer one can stop wars, one can suspend the natural laws of nature. Works of charity cannot replace fasting... Everyone except the sick, has to fast." (July 21, 1982)

...of course this message as it stands is dubious and should not be proliferated to the faithful...for we know that the Devil is wont to inspire newly initiated individuals in the way of the Spirit who lack proper guidance...into excessive mortification and excessive fanaticism...and by so doing bring about a ruin of a person's health....we must be balanced..of course not everyone can fast..some people must work hard for their living and they need to eat a balanced diet otherwise they could be killed operating heavy machinery or what have you..it is well known that the brain requires a sufficient quantity of fat in the diet for the proper physiological functioning of memory and cognition....inshort we must eat according to our vocation..and we should follow the proper Church prescribed days for fasting and abstinence...and if our vocation calls for extra-spiritual exercises.such as in a monastic setting then this should be undertaken under the guidance of a wise spiritual director....

.......we must remember Jesus as well said....

 
[11] Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. [12] Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? [13] But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. [14] Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit. [15] And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.   -Matthew 15:11-15 
[11] Not that which goeth into: No uncleanness in meat, nor any dirt contracted by eating it with unwashed hands, can defile the soul: but sin alone; or a disobedience of the heart to the ordinance and will of God. And thus when Adam took the forbidden fruit, it was not the apple, which entered into the mouth, but the disobedience to the law of God which defiled him. The same is to be said if a Jew, in the time of the old law, had eaten swine's flesh; or a Christian convert, in the days of the apostles, contrary to their ordinance, had eaten blood; or if any of the faithful at present should transgress the ordinance of God's church, by breaking the fasts: for in all these cases the soul would be defiled; not indeed by that which goeth into the mouth; but by the disobedience of the heart, in wilfully transgressing the ordinance of God, or of those who have their authority from him


.....let us all examine ourselves in a spirit of truth and self-denial..so that we walk in the Spirit of God and not according to the Spirit of Nature or the Spirit of the Devil.....amen

MEDJUGORJE | UPDATE | .... BUYING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN....???


MEDJUGORJE | UPDATE | ..THE SPIRITUAL REBELS OF MEDJUGORJE...

 
..A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN..????

 

..now God has cautioned us through Scripture to beware false prophets..

 

[1] Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] By this is the spirit of God known. Every spirit which confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God: [3] And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus, is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world. [4] You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. [5] They are of the world: therefore of the world they speak, and the world heareth them.

 

6] We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us. He that is not of God, heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

First Epistle of Saint John Chapter 4  Douay Rheims

 

[1] Try the spirits: Viz., by examining whether their teaching be agreeable to the rule of the Catholic faith, and the doctrine of the church. For as he says, (ver. 6,) He that knoweth God, heareth us [the pastors of the church]. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

[2] Every spirit which confesseth: Not that the confession of this point of faith alone, is, at all times, and in all cases, sufficient; but that with relation to that time, and for that part of the Christian doctrine, which was then particularly to be confessed, taught, and maintained against the heretics of those days, this was the most proper token, by which the true teachers might be distinguished form the false.

[3] That dissolveth Jesus: Viz., either by denying his humanity, or his divinity.

[3] He is now already in the world: Not in his person, but in his spirit, and in his precursors.


 
...now one sees after examining the Spirit of Medjugorje..that is obstinately opposed to the machinery and norms of Holy Mother Church.... 

...due to the repeated supplications of the local Ordinary and the CDF to stop any public gathering which might try to validate the credibility of the apparitions as entirely supernatural...

..we see at Medjugorje the Gospa promotes the error of Pelagianism whereby a man is told they may gain eternal salvation through their own work...


 
..THE FIVE STONES...
 
..the 5 stones of Medjugorje whereby a person is told if they follow this simple prescription for salvation..that entirely through their own work may they gain access to eternal beatitude...

..true the 5 stones are good wholesome exercises however without charity..and obeyance with those Bishops who are in communion with the Pope..we have people subverting the One Holy true and apostolic Church...

1] If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. [2] And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3] And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. [4] Charity is patient, is kind: charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely; is not puffed up; [5] Is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil;

1 Corinthians:13: 1-5


 
FAITH HOPE & CHARITY
 
..such people who think evil of the Bishop at Medjugorje make themselves material schismatics..and do not promote unity within HOLY MOTHER CHURCH..since the Good Bishops here is not promoting spiritual violence against the mystical Body of Christ...for he is just working by the established norms of the Church...

..in effect such people are spiritual schismatics..

..they are trying to buy heaven with their own will...

..as Jesus says..

 
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

Matthew 5:3

..what Jesus means here is blessed are those who empty themselves of their own will..and by so doing seek the will of God in their superiors..and by so doing they cannot will but what God and the Church wills..since the Church is the mystical body of Christ whose will is that of God..then such a person becomes poor in their own spirit yet rich in hope of the world to come

...and so such a person exercises the three theological virtues of..faith in the Church, charity and love of neighbour, and hope in the world to come...

..and so we see that the spirit of Medjugorje is the spirit of the Pharisee..

..since the Pharisee sought to live by the letter of the law but not to live by the law of love...

[11] The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. [12] I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. [13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. [14] I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

Luke 18:11-14  Douay Rheims

 

..let us all examine ourselves using a comport of recollection in fidelity and harmony to the spirit of truth which emanates out of the Church of Christ...amen

MEDJUGORJE | POSTAGE STAMP HAS SMELL OF ROSES...????

MEDJUGORJE SMELL OF ROSES AND CHEMOSENSORY DISORDER

 
..concerning the dubious apparitions at MEDJUGORJE we are told by the CHurch in its official proclamation that NOTHING SUPERNATURAL is occuring in regards apparitions at the place of MEDJUGORJE..
 
..yet we see many pundits refuse to listen to reason since the GOSPA has told us that we must live from the heart..or through the will without use of the intellect which is a mutually exclusive logical impossibility... for we need the use of reason to lead the heart  or the will into the right arena of faith in a prudent manner... this is called the gift of counsel or a supernatural aid to the reason and is a gift of the Holy Spirit....
 
yet at MEDJUGORJE we have people grasping for apparent supernatural events without ever looking at other possibilities...
 

 
..now most recently we have the scent of roses related to a postage stamp which has been issued out of MEDJUGORJE...which gives the faithful the wrong impression regarding MEDJUGORJE..that is this place is full of supernatural manifestations which of course has never been validated by the CHurch itself in one occaision which is telling...
 
..also if a person ever had such an experience of smelling roses at MEDJUGORJE...
 
..medical science has a plausible explanation and this would be called a smell and taste disorder related to chemosensory sensory perception dysfunction...
 

 
according to JOHNS HOPKINS Medical health library
 
"
The loss of the senses of smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia) are the most common chemosensory disorders.

The reduced ability to smell (hyposmia) or to taste sweet, sour, bitter, or salty substances (hypogeusia) are also common.

In other disorders of the chemosenses, odors, tastes, or flavors may be misread or distorted, causing a person to detect an unpleasant odor or taste from something that is normally pleasant to taste or smell. These disorders are important because they can have a significant impact on quality of life and be a sign of underlying disease.
........
Abnormalities in taste and smell can accompany or indicate the existence of diseases or conditions, such as:
  • Obesity
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Malnutrition

  • ...so one may see through the use of REASON that when someone claims they haved smelled roses from a postage stamp or a religious artifact which coincidentally arrived from MEDJUGORJE there can be suitable explanation based in reality....if that stamp or artifact had not been impregnated artificially..

    ..yet the MEDJUGORJE pundits like the petulant children they are do not give up...when it comes to turning reality inside out in order to cause confusion within the CHURCH and by reaching up to God through disobedience they do not understand the necessity of God pushing us down through humility in order to be raised up through the triumph of Jesus who was himself pushed down in humility...

    ..in order for us to follow the divine master we must first allow ourselves to be pushed down in humility..and this can only be found through obedience to rightful Church authority...which at MEDJUGORJE may be found in the office of the Good Bishop..who has stated time and again that nothing supernatural is occurring which the CHurch has concurred with his statements...
     


    ..yet the pundits of MEDJUGORJE will not bow in humility..they will not follow Jesus in his way of the cross..when Jesus fell this symbolized in an anagogical sense the humanity of Jesus bowing under the harsh orders of God through humility and obedience..yet the pundits at MEDJUGORJE will not bow..and they will have nothing to do with humility or obedience..yet they want to feel all the beautiful fragrances and feel paradise within..yet they hate the cross of CHrist and they want nothing to do with it....we see from this exposition of their inward being that the spirituality they have drawn from Medjugorje is false.....and repugnant to the way of the Cross which Jesus has shown us.....

    ..& so friend in the Spirit of the Cross...judge wisely...and go with good counsel on the way of the Cross that Jesus has deigned for all his true lovers to follow...

    ..let us all judge ourselves according to the precepts of Holy Mother CHurch so that we may arrive together at heaven in unity....amen
