I am 61 and I too have seen this way to much. It is all shopping centers and housing tracks. We will become dependant on other nations someday for our food.
regarding rejecting the world, I do not quote bible passages. I just read the Gospels and walk away always satisfied. Jesus spoke many things regarding this world. eg. “My kingdom is not of this world.” about the rich man “go sell all you own, give it to the poor and come follow me.” Of course, the life of St. Francis of Assisi reflects this all perfectly.
Amen and thank God. Mother church will not bend to the will and ways of this world. She stands as a beacon to those who will reject the world and seek God. Do not bring up the faults and failings of the people in it. God already knows it. Do you think Jesus didn’t realize what He was doing when He ordained his Apostles and gave the keys to Peter that they were not human with a sinful nature? Jesus, I trust in you.
whats that saying on police cars??? oh yeah … " to protect and to serve" on the other hand, everyone should have the right to kill their baby in the womb…yeah, that makes better sense.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you for using your gifts so well.
