Oh, if we but could have this message given from the pulpit of every Catholic Church. This Vortex Is a must listen to...but if you don't want to take that few minutes to listen to it.....at least read what I have pulled from the transcript of this Vortex and contemplate if you are doing so with your family , friends , and loved ones. If not, one has to question if you truly love them. Vortex VIDEO: www.churchmilitant.com/video/episode/vort-2015-10-29Vortex Video: Transcript quote: The truth is that all of us have failed — through sin mostly, but also through lack of knowledge. We have all failed our Holy Mother. Some have failed spectacularly, others in more mundane ways. For example, how many of us laity have adopted the attitude that it is the priests' or bishops' job to teach the Faith and thereby rationalized keeping our mouths shut when loved ones have adopted a sinful lifestyle? How many of us have witnessed not for Our Blessed Lord, as He commanded us, and simply gone along with evil and found a thousand rationalizations to do so? The point is this: These discussions need to happen — and you need to start them. Leaving difficult things left unsaid does no one any good. We are all rightfully concerned with a family member who starts to come apart because of drugs or pornography or alcohol or sudden tragedy, and we rush to them to both comfort and help them to get back on track. But when it comes to that same person's soul in spiritual matters, we pause, are much more reticent to take action, much more fearful that we might offend them. Why is that? Why do we care more for our loved ones' earthly lives than their eternal lives? And to hammer home the point: Merely caring about someone internally is insufficient. It's certainly nice, but left inside, it's just an emotion. If that "feeling-fueled" knowledge isn't acted on when we can do something about it, then part of the guilt falls to us. No matter what you do, there is one thing you may never do, and that is withold the truth. The primary concern must be their eternal lives. Of course eternal life is achieved through choices in this life, so of course what happens here is the path to that reality. But there seems to be in the air here a great vacuum of understanding that what we are on a path to is either Heaven or Hell. And this reality must be comprehended — completely. All of this is totally meaningless if it's understood as just a way to make people feel important and supported and cared for on earth. Many Catholics today are dubious about approaching loved ones because they either don't, or think they don't, know enough about the Faith to talk to them; so they sit by kind of quietly, knowing with their Catholic instincts that a given situation is bad, but feeling not knowledgeable enough to get into it. So nothing gets said. END QUOTE |
