Wednesday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time

Defrocked priest and convicted pedophile John Salazar raised this memorial in honor of Bishop Matthiesen, who, after Salazar was convicted of abusing youth in our diocese, stated, “I was never sorry that I went against the Diocese of Los Angeles’ warnings not to hire Salazar!”

Bishop Zurek, for his part, called what Matthiesen did a ‘serious mistake,’ yet the memorial still remains.”

Am I, as one “one” in “everyone“, responsible; or is our new bishop the one “meant” “to deal with the weight”, which the Diocese of Amarillo “inherits from her history”, specifically:

* A memorial erected by a convicted pedophile priest for a bishop who made a “serious mistake” which Bishop Zurek has yet to remove.

*A letter on the diocesan website, which Bishop Zurek still hasn’t retracted, that denounces ‘a few’ who followed their “Safe Environment Training by reporting abuse at St. Mary’s Cathedral.

*A house built by Bishop Zurek without consulting the “people of God,” which our new bishop may now feel pressured into living in.

Ecclesial discernment for mission
58.

The one Spirit, who gives rise to a great variety of charisms, guides the Church towards the fullness of life and divine truth (cf. Jn 10:10; 16:13).“; subsequently, am I, like everyone, not also one to whom the Spirit has given charisms, just as it has “to his holy Apostles and prophets by the Spirit,“❓

By the continuous presence and action of Spirit, the “tradition which comes from the apostles progresses in the Church” (DV 8). “; accordingly, from this progression of tradition, does not the Spirit tell not only me, but everyone, “You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.“❓

Alleluia, alleluia,
Thanks to the guidance of the Spirit, the People of God, as sharers in the prophetic function of Christ (cf. LG 12), “discern the true signs of God’s presence and purpose in the events, needs and desires which it shares with the rest of modern humanity” (GS 11).“; moreover, in regard to the “serious mistake” memorial, the letter, and the house built by Zurek, have I not been given “the prophetic function” to tell everyone in the Diocese of Amarillo, “Stay awake! For you do not know when the Son of Man will come.“❓
Alleluia, alleluia

Jelly Roll – Everyone Bleeds (Official Audio)
October is not just “Safe Environment Month”, it is also the month of the Synod.

For this ecclesial task of discernment, the Holy Spirit bestows the sensus fidei, which can be described as “the instinctive capacity to discern the new ways that the Lord is revealing to the Church” (Francis, Address for the 50th Anniversary of the Institution of the Synod of Bishops, 17 October 2015).“; therefore, should I not tap into “the instinctive capacity to discern the new ways the Lord is revealing to the Church” of Amarillo, and urge everyone to pray for a ‘Shared Mission’ with our new bishop; consequently, could it be that he ‘Just Says NO❣️’ to being pressured into participating in Bishop Zurek’s “sins against synodality“, and he won’t have to ask:

Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone❓”

We need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing, and its human roots, concern and affect us all.
