With the whole debate about whag Pope Francis said ‘ … on his recent trip.. while his words can be taken as indifferentism.. can in Charity be understood this way.. I am reminded of this quote that I remember from Pope Benedict…
‘There is only one way to the Father that is Jesus..but there are as many ways as there are person to the Father… ’ …Pope Benedict .. as I recall quote from my imperfect memory..
This seems to me to be a way to reconcile both the objective truth of Jesus as the One Way, and the subjective truth that by virtue of the Incarnation Jesus has joined Himself to every person and makes possible everyone to come to Salvation..
Grace is a mystery.. God desire ‘all men to be saved and come to salvations’ and St Thomas ‘God who created the sacraments is not bound by the sacraments.’ Meaning there is only one Way Jesus but each person walks his own way on the one way Jesus to the Father..
Just a thought as I reflect..
snd Each person will be judged at death when they stand before Jesus ‘How they personally responded to Grace.. for those with the fullness of Salvation in the Catholic Church ‘too whom much as been given much will be expected ‘ so the graces we have been given should not be a cause to boast but of gratitude to God.
though of Fr Stefan
When I hear the word grace it leads me to Mary everytime. Why is Grace a mystery? Mary is FULL of grace! God our Father in heaven is all merciful. God the Father filled Mary FULL OF GRACE…therefore all grace flows through Mary. Her YES, YES, YES… to God the Father gave us Jesus Who is also ALL KNOWING(GOD). This is why Jesus is the Father’s ONLY Son…EVER! ALL KNOWING IS GOD! Mary’s Yes’s & Her love as a Mother(Hard WORK) brought Jesus to FRUITION(HIS ALL KNOWING GOD SELF/THE ONLY SON OF THE FATHER SELF. Soul = a piece of the KNOW. How much of the know is comes from God the Father. This is why Satan wants us…He wants to know all the Know. God the Father gave Satan a lot of the Know hence Lucifer = Light. To get the Father, Jesus had to go through Mary’s womb(pure Burial/beginning) & Mary’s loving work as Jesus’ Mother is what brought Jesus to His full Self(God)/Passion/brotherly Love for us. Divine Love refers to Mary(Mother) always. Jesus’ Divine Heart refers to His Love for His Mother. Jesus is ALWAYS with His Mother. So, to get to the Father we need to accept Mary’s part/the Divine Love She gave to Jesus. St. Joseph protected this Divine & brotherly Love & without him, this could not have happened no matter how many yes’s Mary said to God the Father. Joseph’s PROTECTION IS THE HOLY FAMILY/EVERYTHING! To get to my all merciful Father in heaven, I’m going same route Jesus did, I going through Divine grace way… I’m holding onto my Sweetest of Mothers unblemished hands & She will lead me to heaven this way. All of Heaven is with the Queen of the Home, Mary. I’m sure God my Father in Heaven will be there to greet me as He did for His only Son Jesus now, the King(Our Lord) of Heaven. Amen. ❤(Jesus’ Holy Heart)>💘(Simeons prophecy that a sword will pierce Mary’s soul/literally)> ❤️🔥(all merciful Heart/Sacred Heart/Father’s Heart fills Mary with Divine grace)> 💖(Mary’s Immaculate Heart for us ALL/HER LITTLE CHILDREN) = Holy Hearts ❤ × ? ps. Holding Mary’s unblemished hands = Rosary = Her most precious of jewels. 😍🤩
The Rosary is Mary’s tears of Joy & Sorrow in the form of the Beads. We hold Her unblemished hands this way & God the Father will see us unblemished too/innocent again in Her Immaculate Presence before God, Always! Amen.
In St. Baker’s Holy Heart I pray for all souls to hold onto Mary’s Rosary. All good comes from God the Father & from God the Son. Amen. ❤
Mary was ALLOWED to be the Mother of God! It took 3 generations of Her to LISTEN/DO ALL THAT GOD TOLD THEM TO DO VIA His Direct Sacred Voice/Word of all Truth. They apparently LISTENED because NOW( in real time) we have the Mother of God as our OWN SWEETEST OF MOTHERS! RIGHT? God not only Handpicked His Own Mother, but God also picked His pure Nature Time! God in all His Mercy gave us all His Mother to hold onto every step of out day. Is “full of grace” still a mystery. Think of full grace as SWEETEST OF MOTHERS at our side, too. Does this help to SEE HELP/Divine Love at most? Amen. ❤️🔥💖
Mammal animals (nursing animals) know exactly what to do with their offspring. They innately know because they are ALL at God’s Command this loving way. Human mother spirits on other hand have to be taught how to be good mothers = Holy Family Way! How better to do this than to hold onto SWEETEST of Mother’s hands? Us mother’s on our own/no Help = Satan’s loot(theif of Innocence) = unprotected Innocence = unloved = NOW TIME = THE SCALES HAVE TIPPED to Satan’s side = homosexuality in ALL its form = opposite of Jesus’ Way/Divine Love. Unloved Innocence is why Jesus came the way He did…so that all may know the Love of His Divine Mother…Our Immaculate Mary who is and will always be now our Sweetest of Mothers…ONLY if we ALLOW Her to be. 👼🤱❤️🔥💖 Amen. ❤
Jesus came so that we all may know His Mother…now OURS! 👼🤱🎅
😇 x Jesus = Divine and brotherly Love ❤❤️🔥💖
This brings me front & center to Sodom & Gomorrah. God destroyed it to show ONLY that it was not His Way. Did God hurt or harm His unprotected Innocence? No, not possible! Did God turn the woman, that looked back when God told them(Her Family) not to, into stone? Yes He Did! That part we know! God’s point? How dare we judge His Word/Truth! Jesus’ Body came in same way all of born Innocence does. NOW it is up to us(loved Innocence) to hold onto Sweetest of Mother’s so we can preserve Innocence as God’s Way intended US to be(mankind) in Mary’s unblemished hands & Jesus’ Divine Heart = 👼🤱🎅= Ho Ho Ho = Gifts for All! Amen. 🍷🍹🥂 🤩😍
Preservation of Innocence = The Flogging of Jesus’ Passion 💦 = Rosary = The Suffering on the Mount of Olives ❣️💦👼😇❤️🔥
The Rosary is HOLY WATER/MARY’S TEARS/Jesus’ Pierced Heart flowed Water/filled His MARY’S Immaculate Heart FULL OF GRACE. AMEN. 💖Thank you, Father, for your Platform for MARY’S Grace to Flow from the Font of ALL MERCY FOR US ALL! ❤
I am a baby in my mother’s arms
I can only lift my Head to my Mother’s Arms ❤
Rosary = Full of Grace = God’s Divine Heart. 💖 Amen.
