Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ!
The New Year is starting already with yet another betrayal of God and Jesus. I know that the kingdom of God is near but it looks like after all that we need more than ever to learn again not only to love Him but also to - even more - to fear. Why is it so difficult to choose only options that do not entail violence to create peace?! Why? How many more lives will there be lost until we finally sit down altogether at a table, and begin to accept that the kingdom of God on earth must be our reality, not just a nice fable!
I do not need to list here for the New Year message to the Order of the Holy Rose those, who still go on to violate all holiness and human dignity and basic humanity and are justifying the deal and possession of lethal weapons of all sorts with their plain greed and lust for power - God's grace is not mentioned on any list of worldly honours but it is also not available through any donors .
If you want to read negative press, then, by all means, buy a newspaper that only lets you read distorted truth that is even from yesterday before it comes out of print today.
We need to simply lead by example, and be only of love for our neighbours sowers, and prove our humility,
obedience and devotion not only in empty words but in sanctified action and human dignity and through many extra-miles or lending our helping hands and give our heartfelt smiles and simply express our hope simply by numerous a
good deed. And we must under no circumstance on God and Iesous/Jesus and His Holy Eucharistic Family nor on His one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church trample.
We are all called to give our very best every day anew and we are being put on every word we say and write by
God and Jesus to the test! So that we can honestly and brightly shine in God's Infinite Light's ray.
Unless, somebody decides s/he would rather like to be formed by Jesus accordingly to His judgment from clay.
Isn't it interesting that almost all saints and monarchs and holy souls, who tried to fulfill on earth as in heaven
their holy roles and did sow peace and love were mostly either declared insane, and described of 'loosing their marbles', even by their own often less holy family; or they were, if they were persistent in their efforts and
already starting to pull any crowd that would have God and Jesus their love's reign and power allowed,
they were slandered or in character assassinated, or sometimes simply being locked away, so that they
could only in their secret cave follow truly Christ's way. Or they were annihilated by an accident or
called incompetent or even stabbed in the back or shot, often kissed before by a Judas, who might as well
also been called any other name for the reason of a traitor's fame.
I cannot stand any lame political or unholy religious game! We must be transparent and share all our gifts
freely, as we have received and are receiving them freely from God. And I know there will already be at least
one soul, who mocks even the thought of this suggestion or is full of doubt. I have good news for every doubting
Thomas: I indeed have known, do know and will always know souls, who do live their lives accordingly to Jesus' law
of love. If anybody, who calls himself a Catholic or Christian, is doubting this law - and it entails - if lived in all
consequences, and that is exactly, what we are called to do as Catholics! - all then commandments given to
Moses on the stone tablets! As we cannot sin against our next of kin, if we truly love him or her.
It is so easy, once you got the hang of it, to transform and nullify all evil thought - instead of thinking and saying
anything destructive we breathe through and have a little chat to God and to Jesus, and you might also want to try to talk to your neighbour, and only, if you have gone all the extra-miles yourself, can you leave all in the hands of God
with prayer, as only God and Jesus know, what the truth in a situation is in every single layer.
That is why we must never judge or begrudge anyone - I know it is hard!, believe me, I know! - as we all fulfill
a role in God's kingdom on earth, and although we have free choice to a great extent, He also is the planner
of every single creation's event. He gave us choice, so that we can sing with our purest voice instead of
corrupting the world and implying that in order to feel happy we need to drive in a rolls-royce.
It is the simple steps and gestures and deeds that help us to grow together as God's family.
And we are all children of God! And therefore, we should never ever behave towards
one another as an uncaring sod and should make up, if we got upset about sharing our
portion of chips and cod.
Or think about creative solutions in deed that involve the right creed and that help
us all to be on earth God's lightning rod.
The Good News for this year is: It is good, as long as we are willing to be truly in heart,
soul and mind HERE on earth as in heaven, as God needs us to be one big holy family.
Not to wipe each other out, and to shoot and bomb and deliver ammunition and then
wash it all down with cynicism and many pints of whiskey and stout.
That is not, what the heavenly kingdom on earth is all about - and it seems to me
that now that we have spoken out we need to act in silence and make our loving-
kindness in but numerous and selfless and anonymous deeds shout - so, if you
have for lunch a trout, share it with a neighbour, and remember, that a home-cooked
meal many more mouths and much better and with joy and happiness and hope feeds.
And we do not need to throw away every piece of furniture or equipment, only
because there is a loose screw - simply ask your neighbour, and he might just
sit next to you in the church pew, whether he has got in this matter a clue.
And, who knows, you might be making next for him or her for desert
a nice batter, or use your other gifts to the latter.
We must all appreciate all our gifts, not just for our own use individually,
no, but to share and so to heal many rifts universally and we must always
start in our own birth and at the same time also in God's family. As we need
to strengthen each other, but also sometimes to reverse the role - but obviously
with utmost respect and sensitivity - towards our father or mother.
And then we should not sell out our souls for a drink, but see another human
being as a God-sent to the heavenly kingdom on earth important link.
Some are sent to us to learn from them, or to teach them, how to bow down,
when we kneel in prayer with Jesus and to God, and how to kiss on His return
Jesus kingly robe's hem.
He will never wear one pompously as He is more likely to kiss our feet
in a humble Maundy Thursday ceremony. As, once the season of Christmas is over,
He will start to purify Himself and to prepare all the right Lenten readings
with many a beautiful psalm from a gift book and will remember even
to pray for the soul of many a God-forsaken crook, and as fisherman
from scratch again learn, how to throw into the ocean or lake or river
the hook.
He will be also quite accomplished with His beloved eternal spouse
Mary Magdala to feed the ten thousand and for as many unexpected
as drop in from next to nothing on a low budget to cook.
And He will sing and dance and preach and teach in the Name of God
and will simply be with His beloved Holy Family on earth the
Infinite Light's rod - from His own kitchen hearth.
And from there He will also nourish those with His beloved Holy Rose,
who still cannot remember the words and melody f.ex. of the Merbecke
creed.
And He might also help children and adults for therapeutic purposes
onto a horse, a mare or a steed.
And He will finally go through His garden and separate the weed
from the mustard seed, so that we can learn again, how to feed in the wild
as children, who have grown up more sheltered or urban and mild,
and to identify, what our neighbour in spiritual nourishment from us
does need.
I wish you all a wonderful New Year!
But, please, Christmas is not yet over, and may the true spirit of Christmas - of the baby Jesus and
His Holy Mother and selfless Father and the Three most faithful and graceful Kings never cease
in our lives - and fill us every day anew.
On Epiphany my daughter Tiffany will be celebrating with her church family her special name's day.
She is a true victory of prayer in many a layer, and faith and hope and trust in God -
as she was granted to me and God has manifested also in her heart and soul. She is a holy child and
is leading already many by her own example as God's and Jesus' lightning rod.
May the Infinite Light shine brightly upon you, keep and protect you from all evil, harm and anxiety,
and fill your very heart and soul with Jesus' brotherly love and peace.
God bless you!
