So let's hear it for keeping a clear head by attending Mass every Sunday (more often if possible) and for conforming our minds and hearts to God instead of to the prince of this world whose name is Lucifer! Lucifer loves same-sex marriage because it not only contributes to physical death, but spiritual death as well. As St. Paul says, "One sees in them (i.e., those who "gave up natural intercourse with women and burned with lust for one another") men without conscience, without loyalty, without affection, without pity....Your hard and impenitent heart is storing up retribution for that day of wrath when the just judgment of God will be revealed."
Lent is a good time to repent. Please pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy often this Lent for yourself and for those immersed in habitual mortal sin. Think of the joy in heaven if your prayers and sacrifices are the source of bringing a poor sinner to repentance and salvation. Lord Jesus, have mercy on poor sinners!
“Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which is due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, haughty, proud, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.” See the difference between the Bible you quoted from and the Douay-Rheims Bible which is the true original canonically sanctioned by the Council of Trent.
ReplyDeleteThe following was written about St. Francis Xavier when he evangelized Japan: “Francis nodded with understanding. He knew that there followed immediately in the text a strong denunciation written by himself of the unnatural sins and worst vices practised by not only the nobles but by the Daimyo himself. It was a moment no true missionary could in conscience avoid or try to dodge. Francis raced with his thoughts. Men addicted to unnatural vice (homosexuality) were described in the text, now in Juan’s trembling fingers, as ‘more filthy than swine, more base than dogs and other brute animals.’” (The Fire Of Francis Xavier, P. 222, Ch. 17, by Arthur R. McGratty, S.J., Imprimatur (Church approval) 1952).
As regards so-called "Catholics" who are for same sex marriage. AS Saint Teresa of Avila once said: "There is a lot of perdition in the world."
I have to post this as anonymous because the two other options did not work for me, but my name is Elaine Murray.
We now have a new pope who is named after either St. Francis Xavier or St. Francis of Assisi or both. He is against so-called same-sex marriage. May both St. Francises pray for him and us, and may St. Francis de Sales pray for all of us too.
