YOU NEVER KNOW...

Someone once told me the following story, which enlightens and reveals the highlight of the spiritual and religious state of so many with tactic proceeding faithful, - or one should rather say: half-or unbelievers -: a sacristan once watched an old woman, as she was putting up a candle at Our Lady's altar in the church and was lightening it in honour of the Mother of God. Good, pious woman, the sacristan thought! But then our old woman walks on into the apsis, - the church is old, very old, with the beautiful gothic choir-stalls, richly decorated and carved, even devils and demons can be seen, defeated by angels - and here again she lights a candle but this time at the tail of one of these devils. Being all disturbed about this, the sacristan follows the woman and asks her why she has also lit a candle for the devil. "Well," says the honest little woman, "you never know, whether it may come in handy!" Does she perhaps think that the devil will not roast her too hot in case she should still go to hell in spite of having lit so many candles for the Mother of God?
Perhaps some time ago one could have smiled about this story with it naive skepticism. But considering to-day's half-believing and progressive cowardice to proclaim the truth, even this inoffensive smile disappears. The normal endeavour to find out what one can know in religious things has changed by this total chaotic situation more and more into an incredible skepticism, and the discerning and spontaneous carried out faith has given way to a real arbitrary faith: finally one can believe as one chooses, and especially "pious women" never forget to add the notice "catholic" to this chaotic believing. Concerning the faith - as conventional opinion - one does not know, one just believes; one can always believe something being true, mainly of course the many "messages", even when they deny the basic truths of the faith. Yes, the "craze" for messages is going so far with some people, that they feel to be out of the Church if they finally don't get a message themselves!
The skepticism shows itself in the attitude of many people, and it communicates itself like an illness in different ways, which may occasionally even attack oneself.
Perhaps the "holy Father" is after all a prisoner, as it is being said in so many "messages". One does know, that he has abolished the holy Mass, but one never knows ... perhaps he is even holy?
The apostolic hierarchy has not only repressed nearly everywhere the possibility of a sacramental union with God, but has also undermined and (or) perverted every moral norm. All unbelievers have to-day more moral principles than the modernistic priests or seminarists, the future professionals of the confusion. It is very sinful to support these apostate financially, one does know it, one should actually get out of the church-tax association, but one really never knows exactly .... surely one would like at the end to be buried "by the Church". In this case one can not fall out with "them". (Who ever once has witnessed this indignified spectacle of a modern burial, can be glad if the former choir-friends of the dead person give him a dignified parting from this world.
The words of consecration are falsified, the character of the sacrifice of holy Mass is denied in the so-called NOM. Even the sparrows whistle it from the top of thr roofs: all are not many. Even the enterprising daily newspaper, which favours both sides, writes about it. One knows that the "New Mass" is invalid because of the falsified words of consecration but one still goes to the "Church of the Holy Spirit" in Munich.
One never knows ... perhaps Our Lord will make things well.
One knows that holy Mass, after which one longs, is being celebrated validly at St. Michael, Baaderstreet in Munich, but we are against "The holy Father", and therefore perhaps the Mass might be invalid. Even a priest can nowadays be so stupid that he cannot formerly discern between "permitted" and "valid", one never knows really .....
One knows that a Pope, who has become a heretic, has lost automatically his office and authority. And still one continues talking of the "holy Father Paul VI", one does not really know ... perhaps one can once make use of him - as "holy Father".
For all those, who only know a little bit about it, it is absolutely clear that the German "bishops", and also of course the others, make themselves guilty by their "obedience" to an apostate Pope, may they be even such great venerator of Our Lady as Graber, and they also loose their office. One does know it, the determinations of canon law are absolutely clear. And still one does not stop talking of "our bishops" or consider them as legitimate office bearer. One approaches them, although they have lost their authority, writes petitions, trying to arrange perhaps a TV interview with those mitre-wearing men. Perhaps one can still help the Church by these means - by which one can only get foul bargaining - honestly, one does not really know ... (I only know one thing: the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, is absent, where one thinks to help the Church with tactic (meaning = lie). How could this be? The living Truth can never be defended by lies. Such "endeavours" are already condemned by the Holy Ghost and remain unfruitful in eternity.)
What should we then do to see through this growing chaos of half-truth and untruthfulness, to tear off this suffocating net of lies and blindness? A short while ago a priest said to me that we must have an outstanding faith in God, must recommend ourselves to our Mother, the holy Mother of God, and mainly ask the Holy Ghost for His assistance. Then God will, with the assistance of St. Michael, not let us go astray. |
