"The Spirit of Martyrdom"
Unlike those in Radical Sects, such as those who propose Sharia Law, utilize Fear and Hate to goad thier followers into "suicide" while slaughtering innocent people in order to achieve some physical Eternal "Reward."
The Christian, on the other hand, is motivated by "Love," not taking thier own life, but offering it up to The Lord of Hosts for those who are filled with Hatred for Christ and His Teachings, in order to vanquish thier Evil by Absorbing it, as did our Beloved Lord, Who unlike mankind, was Innocent.
The Heart of The Christian Loves in a "Divine Way," even thier Enemies, realizing that although we may not "Like" what one has made of themselves, it is Because everyone, be they Good or Bad, has been "Loved Into Existence" by God, which is the Basis of All Christian Charity.
The True Follower of Christ, Must have in all things, as thier Motivation, Pure Love, modeled on that of Jesus Himself, devoid of any self interest or expectation of Reward. This may sound to some as being too difficult to achieve, especially in our "Entitlement" Culture, but with God's Grace strengthening the Intellect and Will, all is possible.
Divine Love is able to raise our Nature to The Highest Levels, both physically, through Endurance, and Spiritually Through an Intimate Relationship with Our Beloved Lord.
What Loving Husband and Father would not give up thier own life, in order to Save the lives of his Family? And What Mother would not do the same? In fact, with every birth, The Mother puts her own life on the line.
And although society has tried to Pervert the Beauty and Dignity of Motherhood, through, Abortion and even Re-Defining what a Woman is, Divine Revelation and The Teachings of The Church Will ALWAYS be The Champion of Truth and Justice In The Defence of The Self Worth of All Women.
To be Willing to Die for someone you Love, should, for one Who is Devoted to The Lord, be almost Second Nature.This doesn't mean that such Heroic Virtue is Easy, but because it's Foundation is Entwined with Divine Power in the Fight against Evil, the Devil and his minions can be Vanquished, for all Evil has it's origins and guidance from a Demonic Intellect.
Once again, WE ARE AT WAR With the Forces of Evil, but at the same time Our Leader Jesus Christ has Already WON THE BATTLE, it is We, Who must remain Faithful and thus will be Guaranteed Victory over all of the Enemies of Truth, Justice and Mercy.
God Bless You

"JUSTICE and CHRISTIANITY"
The greatest problem with the "Liberal Agenda" is the Abscence of "True Justice."
Those who are "Morally Depraved" always seem to see the "Perpetrators" of Evil as the "Victims," and those who suffer the "Consequences" of thier policies, as "guilty" of creating a situation in which Criminals Must be "Excused," and therefore, should suffer No "Consequences" for thier actions.
This "Ideoligy" is Absolutely Contrary to "Christian Morality," for, Good and Evil, which has been "hijacked" by the Left in a way that Evil is now perceived as Good, and Good is Condemned as Evil, has created a "Perverted Ideology" one that has taken over our Universities, and is preached courageously, not only from the political podium, but, sad to say, all too often, from the Pulpit as well.
As "True" Christians, We must present to Mankind, not only The "Mercy" of God, but also His "Justice."
Mercy can Never be thought of as something that "Exonerates" the Wrongdoings of others, for that would be Eradicating all "Responsibility" for ones own actions.
Mercy, on the other hand, is "Merited" Only when one REPENTS of the Evil that they have Committed, and Embracing The Good, must make a "Firm Purpose of Ammendment."
Even though, we are living in a Society that is, for the most part, "Anti-Christian," We, as True Followers of Christ, Cannot remain Silent on the various Issues that plaque our Society today.
And since the Enemies of Humanity and The Church, make up a Majority of the Modern Consensus, we have an Obligation to present to the world The Truth that, Though God is Merciful, He is also "Just," and His Justice is Absolute.
No matter how one may try to Rationalize thier Selfishness, Egotism, Greed, or Thier Lust, there Will always be a "Divine Consequence," for Heaven and Hell are Realities, and, by one's "own" Decisions in this life, we are eventually left with Only Two Choices, "Heaven or Hell."
And, since God's Love would Never FORCE anyone, once they have Rejected Him, to remain for all Eternity in His Presence, He offers each and every one of us the Choice throughout life, through the decisions we make to Embrace either one or the other.
Which one will it be?
God Bless You
"Saint Ignatius of Antioch"
Martyred in the Coloseum in the year 107, St Ignatius was The Third Bishop of Antioch. His writings dealt with the Organizational and Spiritual aspects of The Church.
From the very beginnings of Christianity, there have always been Persecutions, attacks, and even betrayals by our very Bretheren within The Church, which eventually brought about His Martyrdom in Rome.
Since Satan respects no boundaries, he has even infiltrated within The Church, for the sole purpose of Perverting Her Doctrines, Weakening The Faith of The People of God, with the sole purpose of the eventual Destruction of The Mystical Body of Christ.
We know that all of Hell was Unleashed against The Sacred Body of Christ in The Crucifixion, and rather than succeed in Our Lord's Demise, it was by the very Cross Itself with which Our Lord Conquered Hell, and Redeemed Mankind.
So it is today, we see the shredding of Christ's Teaching on Sin, Prelates, excusing rather than Forgiving, Ignoring Imorality rather than Inspiring Virtue, worshipping False gods in the name of "Ecumenism" and sadly focusing more on thier coffers than on the Spiritual welfare of The Faithful.
Yet this should not surprise us, for we are at War, a war not for earthly Power, but a War for the Soul of each and every Man, Woman and Child.
As there was left not one single place on the beaten body of our Saviour without a wound, there should be no wonder that this full Frontal Attack on The Church and Her Teachings, from without and from within, effects Every aspect of our Faith and The Teachings of Christ.
The greatest weaponry against such Evil will always be Prayer and pennance, Especially The prayer to St Micheal The Archangel and The Holy Rosary.
Satan and his minions will have us Directing all of our attention, First on "Humanism" which focuses on "Man" as the center of all things, devoid of any Consideration of The Divine. And Second by listening to those who call themselves "Intellectuals" believing that somehow we Humans can, "Save the Planet," utillizing the Fear of our complete demise, proclaiming that if we don't act upon our "Emotions immediately, our extermination is inevitable
This "Frenzy of "Preoccupation" for Externals, coupled with Emotional hysteria, will keep one from focusing on the "Inner Self" which once in disarray will effect all of Society and even the Natural Order itself, thus becoming a self fulfilling Prophecy.
Therefore it is of the utmost Importance that we Realize as Individuals Redeemed by Christ, that the "Interior, well being" of the Soul should be the Priority, for once in Order, that which guides our actions will be Reason and Common Sense Infused with the Peace and Strength that proceeds from True Faith.
In other words, if I desire to "Change the world for the Better, I Must First and foremost clean up my own world "Within," and only after I have rid my soul of those ellements that Destroy Interior Peace, then and only then, will I be able to make the world a better place.

"The Saint of The Sacred Heart"
St Margaret Mary Alacoque who lived between the years of 1647 and 1690, Fostered The Devotion to The Heart of Jesus. Since then, The Church has welcomed such a Devotion, for it Brings to the attention of Mankind The Mercy of God, and His "Heart for the Miserable" which is what the Latin Word "Misericordia" litterally means.
Even though our sins may be as numerous as the stars in the night sky, Our Beloved Lord came to Redeem each one of us. The most Amazing thing is that since God has no "Universal" Concept of Humanity, but rather sees each one of us as The "Only" person for whom He came to die, it was for "me" that He Created the world, that He was Born in the stable of Bethlehem, that He lived for 30 years a life of Silent labor, Preached for Three Years, was Condemned, Crucified, Died and Rose from the Dead.
Therefore my Love Must be a Response to Jesus's Life in Its Entirety. How could I Not fall in Love with One so Tender and Merciful, especially when keeping before my eyes my own Profound Unworthiness.
Redemption therefore Must be Understood as a "Personal Event," between He and I, to do otherwise could dilute my Understanding of The Incredible and Merciful Condescension that my Lord, my God and my All offers to me as his adopted son or daughter.
How can I Love Him More each day? How can I not Divest myself of all other Loves but His, realizing that it is only Because of Him that I am truly able to Love others in a Holy and Chaste manner.
Lord, make my Love like unto Thine, so that The Heavenly Father, at the moment of my death will Recognize, not my years of wickedness and Sin, but will Find Only Thee Dwelling within my Heart.
God Bless You
