4. The reflection and information that we can gather from these past eight years allow us to clarify and complete what we were able to state some time ago. For this reason, and because the situation is now even more pressing, I have wished to share these pages with you.
APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION
LAUDATE DEUM
OF THE HOLY FATHER
FRANCIS
TO ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL
ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS
I am ready for anything anywhere: full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty.
Today’s Office First Reading Philippians 4:10-23
How can we not contemplate this story in truth, piety and holiness?
Today’s Office Second Reading from a sermon of St Bernard of Clairvaux
In the fourth year and 39th day since Bishop Zurek posted on the Diocesan Website that the “few” , I included, were not among the faithful and loyal disciples at St. Mary’s Cathedral that the Lord Jesus desires; thus beginning the burning away of even my virtues…
…during the 50th day of waiting for Pope Francis to accept Bishop Zurek ‘s resignation…
…and on the 4th day of Synod 2023 and my reading of Laudate Deum , I’m asking…
…upon my Church is MAGA’s eight year battle with Pope Francis, and because the situation is now even more pressing, should I not be ready for anything by contemplating the story found in the rosary with truth, piety and holiness…
Reading 1
… for, is it not God who has allowed MAGA to bring disaster upon Pope Francis on climate change and the Synod, but in saving him, will God not bring back the enduring Joyful Mysteries of Mary the mother of Jesus,…
Responsorial Psalm
…and, despite the pain, will I not lose hope that the Almighty will do great things for me as he listens to me reflecting on the Luminous Mysteries…
Alleluia
…or, perhaps the Father will reveal to me through the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Kingdom why MAGA thinks that the Lord is with it as it tries to make me like it by finding a number of weeks or months after conception at which voters will be happy aborting little ones…
Gospel
…so, just for today at least, will I not use the Rosary power given to me to not be afraid of, and even tread upon MAGA, in order that in the “no end” Kingdom I can be with Mary praying the Glorious Mysteries in Heaven❓
When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected.
