MEDJUGORJE | MARIA DIVINE MERCY | LORD MAITREYA..& THE NEW THEOSOPHY


MEDJUGORJE | Maria Divine Mercy | LORD MAITREYA..and the New THEOSOPHY


..now one sees as consequence of pride, disobedience to Church Authority, and reliance on a soul’s own perspicacity..such a soul imbibes itself with a prescription for interior emptiness..for they leave out the CREATOR..such a person seeks rest in themselves..and they mistake this rest for the Peace of Christ..of course this is a novelty of fantasy..antecedently the Devil is the Author...

..The Sin of Adam and Eve..under the inspiration of the Devil himself..was to subvert reality..to obvert the relationship between Creation and Creator...for the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil denotes the Wisdom or Proper order of knowledge as it occurs in the mind of God...to grasp (to will it) at the fruit of God’s knowledge and to take it in through the intellect (consume it)..is nothing more than folly..for this cannot be done..since the mind of the creature (finite) cannot grasp what is contained within the mind of the Creator (infinite)..and so the death of the creature will ensue..since the creature now relies on its own whimsy..rather than on the wisdom of the Creator..this is how we fell from paradise..and this is the fruit of PRIDE....and of course like the Good Creator God is..he allows his creature to have what they want..since he privileged us with a free dominion over our will..to afford us the dignity of self-actualization through..conjecture analytical thinking and comparison...& through the Death and Resurrection show Us his eternal love..through the economy of Salvation...in short beating the Devil at his own Game...



The serpent's craft. The fall of our first parents. Their punishment. The promise of a Redeemer.

[1] Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the earth which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman: Why hath God commanded you, that you should not eat of every tree of paradise? [2] And the woman answered him, saying: Of the fruit of the trees that are in paradise we do eat: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise, God hath commanded us that we should not eat; and that we should not touch it, lest perhaps we die. [4] And the serpent said to the woman: No, you shall not die the death. [5] For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil

THE BOOK OF GENESIS  3:1-5


...now the Sin of THEOSOPHY and the ASCENDED MASTERS is nothing more than the same Sin of ADAM OF EVE..to take and eat of the tree of knowledge..ergo..to rely on one’s own cunning and frail grasp of the nature of things...however the Sin of THEOSOPHY also goes one step further..to rely on communication with OCCULT DEMONIC entities...



                                     THE SEAL OF THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

 ...it is interesting to note the presence of Occult paraphernalia on the SEAL itself...the Swastika, the Pentagram, the Central Egyptian ANKH which represents eternal life, and the symbol of regeneration Ourobous ... the snake devouring itself...an important symbol in Gnosticism and Alchemy...

“At the same time, Theosophists respect the different beliefs. They see each religion as an expression of the Divine Wisdom, adapted to the needs of a particular time and place. They prefer the study of various religions to their condemnation, their practice to proselytism. Thus, earnest Theosophists extend tolerance to all, even to the intolerant, not as a privilege they bestow but as a duty they perform. They seek to remove ignorance, not punish it; peace is their watchword, and Truth their aim.”

--extract from Theosophy Society of America Website




Seer Ivanka Ivankovic: “The Madonna always stresses that there is but one God and that people have enforced unnatural separation. One cannot truly believe, be a true Christian, if he does not respect other religions as well.” (The Apparitions of Our Lady of Medjugorje , Franciscan Herald Press, 1984.)


Question: “Is the Blessed Mother calling all people to be Catholic?”

Seer Vicka Ivankovic: “No. The Blessed Mother says all religions are dear to her and her Son.” (Janice T. Connell, The Visions of the Children, The Apparitions of the Blessed Mother at Medjugorje , St. Martin’s Press, August, 1992.)
“Before God all the faiths are identical. God governs them like a king in his kingdom… In the world all the faiths are not identical, because the people do not observe the commandments of God, but reject and corrupt them.”


Extracts from Messages of Our Lady of MEdjugorje


..So one evidently sees some obvious similarities in the Messages...

..we see the MESSAGE OF MEDJUGORJE IS THE MESSAGE OF THEOSOPHY...


..to rely on one’s own discernment for truth and to ignore the Church and her magisterium..and as well to embrace all religions as emanating from God..which implies that there is division in the immutable perfect Creator...which of course is an error...


However we are also told by the Gospa

“In God, there are no divisions nor religions; division has been created by you (men) in your world. The sole mediator is Jesus Christ. However, the fact that you belong to such or such a religion is not without importance.” “The Spirit is not the same in all the churches.”


..now of course since Christ is the Head of The Church Spiritually and the Word of God being the Body of the Church…then we must conclude that in God there is one religion and that is the Catholic Church Universal…


..we see the messages of Medjugorje contradict each other…yet in each message there are subtle references to the Theosophical Ideology of self-actualization through the ego or the obstinant conscience of the feel-good self…irregardless of what the ultimate Authority tells us…people believe in their own conscience..they do not rely on a well informed conscience based on proper examination of conscience... as directed by the spiritual Fathers and Mothers of the Church...


..Some Tenets of the THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY...

  1. To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or colour.
  2. To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy, and science.
  3. To investigate the unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in man.

The Society was organized as a non-sectarian entity. The following was stated in the Constitution and Rules of the Theosophical Society

ARTICLE I: Constitution
4. The Theosophical Society is absolutely unsectarian, and no assent to any formula of belief, faith or creed shall be required as a qualification of membership; but every applicant and member must lie in sympathy with the effort to create the nucleus of an Universal Brotherhood of Humanity

..also it is interesting to note that the now DEFROCKED  THOMISLAV VLASIC the priest who masterminded the whole MEDJUGORJE PHENOMENON has since started with another WOMAN a new CULT ..which is called the CENTRAL NUCLEUS..of course one can see the borrowed ideas from THEOSOPHY....the centralization of knowledge to an occult hegemony and the establishment of a core nucleus..ideas borrowed from Communism and the Atomic Age..



..it should be also noted that THEOSOPHY believes in root races...which are the prime archetypes for the advancement and evolution of humanity..and that the ASCENDED MASTERS are those who will reveal the knowledge necessary for these root races to evolve to the next level...interestingly the current root race is the ARYAN  (Great WHITE HOPE) race..and it is well known that HITLER and the NAZIS embraced this IDEOLOGY...CAUSING much of Europe to be exterminated in a massive Genocide..this of Course is the fruit of trusting in humankind’s wisdom over the Wisdom of God....

...."The Thule Society's Dietrich Eckart thought Hitler was Maitreya (An Ascended Master). The Thule Society (formed in 1914) was told in a séance that “Lord Maitreya” would soon make his appearance as a German messiah to “lead the Aryan race to final victory over the Jews.” Thule leader Dietrich Eckart was charged with the responsibility of 'nurturing' him (from The Twisted Cross, Joseph Carr, p.110)....

...as well one sees a connection between MEDJUGORJE ..The Teachings of the ASCENDED MASTERS..and the Great White Brotherhood..of Mark & Elizabeth Clare Prophet...

..Excerpt from the Website of the Great White Brotherhood...



Mother Mary Prophecies at Medjugorje

World peace is at a critical stage,” the Queen of Angels tells the world through the visionaries at Medjugorje. “I need your prayers….I cannot help the world without you.”

Mary has also told her young seers to pray for the “conversion” of the world. She is not speaking about a “religious” conversion but a spiritual one, one that has its foundations in the heart and not in doctrine.

To convert comes from the Latin root meaning “to turn around.” Mother Mary is calling us to “turn around” our heart, our soul, our mind to face the sun of our Higher Self so that the shadows will be behind us.

We can think of Mother Mary as a sister who has walked the path before us, gained self-mastery and would help us do the same, no matter what our chosen path. She is also a prophetess and powerful intercessor who has offered to help us find the way out of our most difficult karmic dilemmas


...what is the credulous lay person to believe???...that Mary the Queen of Heaven..is calling people to a conversion to Modernism..in short to embrace the One-World Religion..of the AntiChrist...

..how is One to Embrace Truth..if we do not have Christ and his Magisterium whom he Commissioned as the yoke of our faith will and intellect...

..currently the most eminent of the ASCENDED MASTERS on Earth is the LORD MAITREYA..



Maitreya is an Ascended Master - a highly evolved spiritual being - who holds both the Office of Planetary Buddha and Cosmic Christ. The Office of Christ consists of many thousands of Ascended Masters (including Jesus, Mohammed, Gautama the Buddha, and Mother Mary). These Ascended Masters are also known as the White Brotherhood or Brotherhood of Light. Maitreya was in charge of the Office of Christ when the Christ Energy was channelled through Jesus 2000 years ago. Maitreya now speaks to the human race - via nominated spiritual channels from around the world - to convey his message for the coming of the new age. This site reveals the teachings of Maitreya — World Teacher. These profound teachings [to the left of this page], channeled by Margaret McElroy, will help you on your spiritual path to move beyond the lower self (ego) and ascend spiritually into the Higher Self. When you begin the step to move beyond the lower self (ego), a momentous battle will unfold, for the lower self (ego) does not want to give up control to the Higher Self.











MY ARRIVAL

I am aware that certain souls are awaiting my imminent arrival on this Earth plane. That some souls are even vying to serve me and be by my side when I make my appearance. How idealistic and impractical! My work is not to be done through the mediums of fanfare and ceremony, but as Jesus said "like a thief in the night".










                                                      -Lord Maitreya spiritual channel-


...of course the Christ referred to in the above transcript is the AntiCHrist..however..in full accordance with the subtle and devious spirit of the Devil the unsuspecting believer is tricked by equivocations and false associations...and true to form the DEVIL subverts Scripture for his own dubious and insidious intentions...and the Magisterium of Holy Mother Church is Orphaned to emotion...


..as one progressively recedes through the pages of this morass of duplicity and disobedience to rightful Church Authority..we see what sort of forces roil beneath the superficiality of these New –Age visions of Mary which are not approbated by the Church...


..one begins to see the influences of the messages and the subtle spiritual interplay..where Good is auctioned off for..good feelings and false interior rest..which is false and repugnant to the Cross of the True Christ of the Gospel...indeed it is not inner peace but the heresy of QUIETISM...where one becomes a slave to emotion and desire..and the desire is never vanquished so the subject is dependent on the apparitions..like a drug addict..or an addled lover...when the apparition phenomenon ceases then the inner quiet will become a storm of unrest ..similar to when a drug addict does not get their fix..withdrawals will ensue..and the spirit of the devil will be betrayed for what it really is....a substitute for the virtues of faith hope and charity..which allow all the other virtues to burgeon..from the tree of life....


..indeed the Devil is able to fake any virtue but he can NEVER fake obedience to Church authority..for one either obeys a precept or denounces it..there can be no theatrics...


...also we see many have said Prayer of the Rosary at MEDJUGORJE and other apparition sites is a guarantee of Authenticity...yet this is not true...for we have documented photographic evidence of demonic infestation at a Rosary Cenacle at an Unauthorized apparition in the USA..known as the Holy Love Phenomenon...





-demonic entities-


-a blown up version of left portion of above photograph-



-detail of demonic entity-


....one can distinctly recognize the figure in the lower left which most likely is a demonic entity...the dark winnowy figure with the horns..

..now this startling photograph was taken during a prayer session in which people were lifting their hearts up to God..however as you see there is a flurry of infestation between the two lit statues of the Virgin...

..at MEDJUGORJE similar manifestations have been reported..particularly ORBS of light..which show up on photographs..whether this is due to a defect in the lense of the appartus or a supernatural manifestation..it is documented that among ghost hunters the presence of ORBS on photographic film indicates  preternatural disturbance...



http://www.medjugorjemiracles.com/2010/03/amazing-photographs/


..and so we see that just as in Bayside and in the false visions of Troya De Palmar in Spain...prayer of the Rosary, Adoration, Frequent Sacraments and harsh penance are no guarantee that an apparition is not a wile of the Devil..for the true test is a strict obedience to rightful Authority..which does not prompt schism with Holy Mother Church...


..as we see in the Case of Maria Divine Mercy..


Condemned by the Arch-Bishop of Dublin

  It is interesting that the first 'message' allegedly received by MDM from her 'jesus' (at her bedside) was channeled to her through a talking picture resembling Jesus Christ but actually was a prayer card of a New Age Theosophical figure known as Sananda - one of the so-called Ascended Masters. At the Book of Truth Seminars being held around the world by Breffni Cully aka Joseph Gabriel, the picture is proudly displayed on a table for veneration by seminar attendees. This photo was taken at their Chicago meeting last October...





-THE ASCENDED MASTER SANANDA-


....there is also profligate disdain for Church Authority..since the seer at this place tells followers that the current Pope is an instrument of the Devil...in this case the entity is brazen and so it is obvious that a formal condemnation from the Church be made..However in the Case of Medjugorje the Devil is more subtle since through this vector he sought to infect and infest all the other false apparition sites we now currently have around the world like a torrent of flies ascending from the depths of human ambition or more possibly the nether reaches of the culvertous mind of the Father of deceptions....


..let us guard ourselves with the Gospel of Christ and the precepts of Holy Mother Church..so that we do not be led astray by the wiles and the deceptions of the Devil....amen

MARIA DIVINE MERCY | ERRORS...The Parable of The Sower...

MARIA DIVINE MERCY ERRORS..THE THORNS OF HERESY..

 
...Among the Many Apostates throughout the centuries in the History of Holy Mother Church...the first and Most perfidious is the Devil himself...the paradigm UnHoly Apostate...through his bad example he dragged with him a third of the stars of heaven which metaphorically denotes a third of the Angels of God..these fallen ANgels are now fixed and obdurate towards educing the ruin of souls...

 
..now the Devil fashions UnHoly disciples after his spiritual likeness..he will fill a soul with sweetness pride and self-love...only to dash such a soul on the shore of coneit self-assurance, despair and despondency..such a person will not trust the Magisterium of Christ and will begin to question the indefectibility of Mother Church...indeed the Devil is wont to seduce souls which were once loyal to the Church of Christ into all sorts of spiritual thickets filled with thorns ( false doctrines)...
 
..one such spiritual disciple of the Devil is Maria Divine Mercy...
 

 
APOSTATE INOBEDIENTAE, FORMAL HERETIC & SPIRITUAL SCHISMATIC
EXCOMMUNICATED LATAE SENTENTIAE
 
CONDEMNED BY THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN
 
 
..now we see concerning the Parable of the Sower how through lack of humility the seed will not take..humility which is the deep and fertile ground that allows the roots of prayer and works to bear fresh fruits...without trust and humility the Word cannot sprout in the garden of the soul...without the living water of grace we cannot water the various plants (virtues) which have been planted through baptism..( hope, charity, faith)...let us hear the Word...
 
Gospel of Matthew 13 The Parable of The Sower
 
1. The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside. 2. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirty fold. 9. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear
 
...Jesus went into the Ship which denotes his preaching from the throne of the Barque of the Lord which is the CHurch triumphant...consequently the Barque of Peter...if we do not trust the teachings of the Church then we cannot be assured of salvation...
 
..The Sower is Christ himself who goes forth to spread his doctrine...
 
..the wayside denotes those souls who hear the word but ignore it..and so they let sin and enmity reign in their souls..and so the fowls denote the evil Angels who influence those in a state of sin...and hold them captive bound in the chains of mistrust...
 
....The stony places are the hearts which had desire but did not trust..hence the Scripture verse...Ezekiel 36:26-"And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh"..such souls a deficiency of humility possess...such a soul usually is a slave to the spirit of fallen man & passions and emotions and falls prey to inordinate zeal..and this is what is meant by "sprung up"...and subsequently scorched by trials of life  symbolized by dryness &  crosses...
 
....some seed also falls into ground which bears fruit however like tares among the wheat..the heresies and false teachings choke the good doctrine...without trust and humble submission to the Authority of the Barque of Peter...souls will be lost in their own dross and cunning...
 
..FInally those who are engendered in true humility ..such souls recognize their worth in the eyes of God and so work according to their talents..recognizing the hand of God in their Superiors such souls follow the proper directives according to God's will...bringing forth good fruit..which encourages unity..allowing the Kingdom of Heaven to spread on Earth....

let us beware the fowls of the Air (Fallen ANgels) and the thorns (Heresies) and work to promote the CHurch Triumphant Amen....amen

MEDJUGORJE | 33 YEARS OF APPARITIONS ???

MEDJUGORJE | 33 YEARS OF APPARITIONS... A DEVIL OF A TIME

 
 

 
....A Devil of a Time / or/ The Devil's own time-a very difficult time...etymology rooted from old English to equate an instance of great grief in one's life through the use of hyperbolic trope analogizing  the torment exacted on the Devil by his own choice through Divine justice ...as a consequence of doing that which is contrary to the will of God....
 

 
...now..at MEDJUGORJE what sort of activity is going on which is contrary to the will of God...the discerning soul which moves in temperance and makes its choices through the use of wise counsel and acquired prudence..must ask itself..how is one able to do the will of God..and by so doing find rest in eternal beatitude...
 
..we should see that after reasonable deliberation it is quite evident that two successive Bishops have cautioned the faithful to disregard any such attributions made concerning Supernatural visions at MEDJUGORJE...
 
..also the CHUrch itself has stated through the ZADAR COMMISSION..that it cannot be affirmed that any SUpernatural apparitions are occuring in MEDJUGORJE...
 
..also we as the faithful have the most recent letter from the CDF to the Bishop's Conference of the USA stating that has not allowed the faithful to participate in any public gatherings which take for granted the credibility of any SUpernatural apparitions associated with MEDJUGORJE..and this means it is imprudent and rash to give the assent of our faith to any seer who publicly claims to see the Virgin Mary..since this would put one's faith at the subjection of possible error and even alienate one's soul from the magisterium of the Church putting one into danger of spiritual schism and possible latae sententia excommunication....
 

 
..now unfortunately many of the faithful have not taken the proper time to reasonably consider the ramifications of disobeying the magisterium at this place...true some people take it on good faith that the people sowing discord within the Church are not lying when they say it is ok to attribute a note of supernaturality to these apparitions...and that no harm can come to anyone who prays and confesses their sins and publicly professes their devotion the Virgin of MEDJUGORJE..however this is misleading & insufficient..for we have an obligation to CHrist to obey our BIshops in good standing who do not promote sin... 
 
 
.... the Devil is a subtle creature..and very intelligent..for the sin of the Devil is reliance on his own will and disdain for the will of God..and if the Devil is able to mould disciples to him through this spirit then he has done his job..by sowing tares among the wheat...fear and loathing..which percolates underneath all the outward false piety and superficiality at MEDJUGORJE...
 
THE PARABLE OF THE TARES AND THE WHEAT
 
[24] Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field. [25] But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle(tares) among the wheat and went his way.
[26] And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle(tares). [27] And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle? [28] And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? [29] And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. [30] Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle (tares), and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.


..in this instance we see in reference to MEDJUGORJE..we have the good man (the local Bishop) who sows good seed by acting within his authority to protect the faithful...we have the enemy (the Devil & his spirit) or those who promote disobedience ..and while the men are asleep (lacking proper discretion) those prelates who also promote MEDJUGORJE as a place of SUpernatural visions...the enemy sows dodgy doctrine in the mind of the faithful since the faithful trust the men who are "asleep" in a supine intellectual manner (SLOTH) since they are also men of the cloth..and insidious guile and mistrust grows in the hearts of the faithful..in this way we can understand the parable of the tares.... and one sees how good fruit grows together with bad fruit...in the garden of the soul....

...see CATENA AUREA  here-   http://www.ccel.org/ccel/aquinas/catena1.ii.xiii.html     for
consonant commentaries of the TARES & THE WHEAT

...indeed God operates judiciously through one organ in a temporal sense..and this is through the magisterium of his CHurch..to bind and to loose..he has Given the keys to the CHurch..and what is bound through the magisterium on earth is also bound in heaven...

 
..true many people have said that heaps of conversions have come about at MEDJUGORJE..however this is a logical fallacy of the cum hoc ergo propter hoc variety...just because people visited this place and were moved by all the outward piety witnessed as a result of the pastoral decrees of the CHurch that they associate a conversion because of claimed apparitions is simple casuistry...
 
..also if people truly had a desire to love Our Blessed Mother...and had MEDJUGORJE not existed..there are plenty of authorized sites that offer confession and mass...and through these CHurch approved sites many would be converted..and they would not come away with an obstacle to grace by disobeying the local ORdinary and having a spirit of contention sown within...
 
..so we see that the local Bishop is the one who suffers at MEDJUGORJE..and is having the Devil's time trying to bring order to this place...for he and his predecessor have been made to seem the laughingstock..and in turn unity and trust in the apostolic succession and Commission of Christ has weakened....and so the faithful discredit CHrist unknowingly..albeit in some cases with extreme arrogance and prejudice...
 
..when we disobey the BIshops who lead us and who do not condone sin then we spiritually tear down the walls of our Church...without our Bishops to gaurd our flock we open ourselves up to the wolf of desire which lurks within each one us and we open ourselves up to the wolf of error who prowls in the outer darknees ready to snatch up the unwary lambs (laity)...
 
 
...we see at Medjugorje we may easily discern hallmarks of the spirit of the Devil and these are....disobedience....obstinance.....spiritual gluttony....pride...envy....sloth...rancor....and obdurate disdain for CHurch appointed Authority...
 
..so let us all examine ourselves with a view to unity and love..so that we may follow the BIshops who have been commissioned by Christ in fidelity ...for Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth...which recalls PSALM 37:11-"while patient souls are the land's heirs...which of course alludes to the land of heaven....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
