My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

Scandalized

 Jesus ..aren't You angry at what is going on with the Pope's latest appointment in the US?

 HE IS FREE TO DO AS HE WISHES EVEN THOUGH IT IS SCANDALOUS TO MY PEOPLE

Why do You let him do this? 

FREE WILL...FOR GOOD OR FOR EVIL

What about the rest of us? Where are the rest of the Hierarchy? They see this even more clearly
than we do and it's just crickets! It ticks me off

I UNDERSTAND,..FREE WILL... SIN...EVIL...IT IS THE MYSTERY THAT HAS BEEN 
PLAGUING MY PEOPLE SINCE THE ORIGINAL FALL AND THAT IS WHY I BECAME MAN 
AND WENT TO THE CROSS THEN ROSE TO NEW LIFE IN VICTORY OVER SIN AND DEATH... 
THOSE IN LEADERSHIP WHO SCANDALIZE THINK THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING 
AND LEADING MY CHURCH INTO A NEW AND BETTER DAY TO REACH THE FALLEN BY 
THEIR IDEA OF MERCY AND COMPASSION BUT WITHOUT TRUTH THERE IS NO LOVE 
AND IT IS DOOMED TO FAIL... THOSE ANOINTED TO LEAD WHO ARE FAITHFUL KEEP 
THEIR HEAD DOWN AND CONCENTRATE ON THEIR OWN FLOCK AND LEAVE THE 
DECISION MAKING TO THE POPE WHOM THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AND SO 
IT IS ALSO WITH FAITHFUL PRIESTS... REMEMBER I TOO WAS BETRAYED AND
ABANDONED 

It looks to me that Faithful Bishops and priests are caught between a rock and a hard place...
if they speak up they already have an example of Bishop Strickland's punishment and removal 
and thus his flock no longer has his care and is given over to another more in line with progressives...
so they say nothing. Praise You for faithful laity who do speak the Truth and encourage prayer 
and fasting for Revival and for those who have a platform and use it for Your Kingdom. 
What do You want to say to all faithful Bishops and Priests  What should they do / say when 
there is false teaching and scandalous behavior? 

SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE... MAKE SURE THOSE IN THEIR CARE KNOW THE TRUTH 
AND ARE PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH...WHEN THEY NEED DIRECTION THEY SIMPLY 
NEED TO ASK...GRACE....ALL IS GRACE...STAY FAITHFUL...TAKE UP YOUR CROSS 
AND FOLLOW ME....I AM LORD AND SAVIOR...MY KINGDOM SHALL HAVE NO END... 
THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT...AND IF OR WHEN ONE IS 
BEING FORCED TO CHOOSE...CHOOSE THE CROSS FOR THE RESURRECTION 
AND GLORY WILL FOLLOW IN MY TIME AND IN MY WAY...STAY FAITHFUL...REMAIN 
IN MY LOVE...I AM WITH YOU AND WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU...
