Meus dominus Deus Lucis Iesus Christus vocat. Ergo sum. Mother Sigrid Eliora

OPEN LETTER
TO ALL CLERGY AND LAITY
OF THE ANGLICAN/ANGLO-CATHOLIC/CATHOLIC CHURCH,
THE ONE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF OUR LORD AND KING JESUS CHRIST

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am extremely saddened that this coming weekend there will be
happening a general synod that in its dimension and consequences very
much reminds me of the Whitby Synod. There some man-made changes were added and imposed on an already flourishing early universal Celtic Catholic Church that was in harmony with the other branches of Catholicism of its time as Christ had always in mind - His one body that invites all around His table, who serve God and celebrate and remember His sacrifice for our sins in the Holy Eucharist and through the blessed Sacraments. His church is meant to serve all of mankind, so that all can live in love for their neighbours, and in peace through wisdom and understanding and, if things go wrong, through forgiveness.

He appointed and anointed His male apostles to celebrate the holy Eucharist as the bread represents His body and the wine His blood - and His was a male incarnate body.

As Catholics we do believe in His most sacred sacrament, and it is extremely sad that to some the mystery of the act of the blessings over the gift seems to have somewhat lost its sanctity and original meaning. He breathed upon the apostles to seal their consecration, and this mystical and most sacred act is also a most solemn vow and obligation to defend and honour Christ's sacrifice against God's enemies through the love and the forgiveness that Christ shared with His chosen apostles, although He knew already that some would betray Him.

This weekend those, who take part in the General Synod are asked to vote for or against the consecration of women bishops in the Church of England. This should not even be a topic for a General Synod as it clearly is a betrayal of Christ's instructions.
If there are women bishops to be allowed in the Anglican Church, then the creed would no longer have validity in those churches that will have priests and bishops consecrated by women bishops.

As in the creed we reaffirm our belief in 'the one holy Catholic and apostolic church'. If the apostolic succession is corrupted and interrupted, then this part of the church can no longer claim any union with the body of Christ - it is another nail through His wounds.

I pray for all those, who are to vote this weekend that they will vote accordingly to their conscience and by listening to their hearts and souls,
and that in the love of Christ they will fulfill their holy roles.

As they say: 'It is between God and you.' And I might add: 'It is also between you and Jesus on your own personal judgment day with Him.'

I am not judging anyone but I do pray that the Church of England will not become a church that acts as the body of the Anti-Christ as clearly, voting against the celebration and remembrance of the one [male] body of Christ
is desecration and blasphemy towards the sacrifice of Christ and against God, who gave His only begotten Son for our sake - to give us a chance to walk in His footsteps on earth in love, humility and obedience to help manifest the heavenly kingdom here and now.

The Order of the Holy Rose is an order that follows the Anglican-Catholic tradition in that our Mother/Father Superior, deacons, priests and bishops, can either be celibate but are also free to marry, and the Order of the Holy Rose is also in union with the Roman-Catholic church. We will stay faithful to the one holy Catholic and apostolic church and will continue to follow the Anglo-Catholic tradition in the spirit of Jesus Christ. We welcome all clergy as members as we do laity but for the above reasons we cannot accept women priests and women bishops, and no priests, who have been 'consecrated' by women bishops.
Our bishop, Ralph Napierski, with whom we are affiliated has been consecrated by a bishop, who has con-celebrated mass at the Vatican with Pope John Paul II, too, and we have been gracefully accepted and canonised as an Anglican-Catholic order in union with the Roman-Catholic church on the apostolic succession.
The Jesus Christ University does provide free training for the Tridentine Mass and will soon be offering also training for deacons and priests in the Anglican-Catholic tradition, as Bishop Ralph is offering us a home for the case that the Church of England will not provide for its Anglican-Catholic seminaries, deacons and priests.
Each of us is called to lead a holy life, and we believe that serving God as clergy or as laity must be in the spirit of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the one body of Christ, and that is only valid in the apostolic succession.

I pray that we do not loose our spiritual home and houses within the Church of England but at the end of the day, we are to serve God, not man and not a particular building. We are the living body of Christ, and that is within the hearts of those, who receive His body at the Holy Communion by a priest, who has been consecrated by a legitimate bishop of the apostolic succession.

I am a woman, and a very passionate one in my service to God and in my love for my neighbours, to the point that I am guilty enough to be charged with being a Catholic Christian as I lay down my life and surrender my soul to God to defend the path of love and wisdom and forgiveness - the very path that Christ has died for.

If you need a home, knock on my door - it is open to all those, who love Christ and share in His Cross. And for those souls, who add to His cross, we pray, when we sit around His table. The heavenly kingdom on earth starts in each of us, and if it has to be, it is from our own kitchen hearth.

May the Infinite Light of God shine brightly upon you, keep and protect you from all harm, evil and anxiety and fill your very heart and soul with His love and peace.
