Thursday of the Seventh Week of Easter

“…and I will make it known,…”

Today’s Gospel

Will I be a coward, or will I make it #known to those whose soul is athirst for the sacraments, that Bishop Zurek, despite what is stated in the bulletin, has once again canceled 7am Mass and Wednesday confessions at St. Mary’s Catholic Cathedral – Amarillo, TX , this time on May 29th…

Is it the Holy Spirit, or an evil spirit as Bishop Zurek claims, that changed my absorption in a world in which it was okay that St. Mary’s Cathedral had ended up being a business offering a variety of services where the priests are mere employees, and the laity customers of a multinational company in which they or Sacraments are canceled at the will of the CEO; to that of my being other-worldly in outlook and believing that Bishop Zurek’s desire to control these “services” — rather than faithfully administering the sacraments on behalf of Christ has become his way of governing with clericalism…

…and is it not my wishing to determine the truth…

…that causes me to challenge His Excellency’s clericalism with the hope that if it is the Holy Spirit that dwells in me, he will give me the courage I need and God will keep me safe…

…in order that we will all be one so that the Church as a, “supermarket of salvation” world may believe that the Father, not Bishop Zurek, sent the Lord,….

…for has not The Lord already said, “I will make it known” when you can come to me for the faithful administration of the sacraments which quench the thirst of your souls …

All wars, by the mere fact that they contradict human dignity, are “conflicts that will not solve problems but only increase them.”

from paragraph 39 of Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith “Dignitas Infinita” on Human Dignity, 08.04.2024

…yet hasn’t the clericalist war that Bishop Zurek rages with “a few“, by the mere fact that it contradicts human dignity, become a “conflict that will not solve problems but only increase them.”…

Discussions are needed in which all those directly or indirectly affected (farmers, consumers, civil authorities, scientists, seed producers, people living near fumigated fields, and others) can make known their problems and concerns, and have access to adequate and reliable information in order to make decisions for the common good, present and future. 

FROM PARAGRAPH 135 of ENCYCLICAL LETTER LAUDATO SI’ OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

…for instead of a synodal path in which the faithful people of God on the way, holy and sinful can make known their problems and concerns, and have access to adequate and reliable information in order to make decisions for the common good, present and future, doesn’t the clericalism of Bishop Zurek tell us, “We lose the capacity to realize
“I, as a lay person, do not always have all the knowledge”; while it is quite
probable that the deacon, priest or bishop has a much fuller picture of what is
actually happening.”…

…

…and thus show his clericalist desire to control the athirst souls’ access to the waterhole of the sacraments ❓
