Repentance and Redemption - Lost
but not yet found
A Letter to Jesus –
a report on the status of Earth
It has been many
years since you sent me here to make sense of what is happening on Earth. I’m sorry to report that the only cents being
made in America is what goes into the deep pockets of the super-rich.
The people, well
they are train wreck. They were given a
Free Will to choose between Good or Evil, Light or Dark. So, what do they do?
Many became seduced
by the empty promises of the Dark Side and willingly embraced the Seven Deadly
Sins over the Seven Cardinal Virtues.
Not only are their lives like a train wreck, they are also the victim of
their own delusions, subject to the temptations of the Shadow Dwellers, and
filled with fear, or a denial of fear.
Still, we know they
are the Creations of Father Creator, so no matter how nasty they get, we are
still honor-bound to accept your ironclad proclamation of Forgiveness – and Redemption. Yet they act like a bunch of losers, frustrated,
angry, bitter, hateful, self-obsessed and probably possessed.
You do get the
sorry state of affairs.
Humans have simply
stopped their spiritual evolvement and enlightenment., and are backsliding into
the Abyss. I would say it is time the
Father put his foot down, but I doubt someone who is all everything would have
much need for a foot.
Thought I might
review a particular incident as an example.
Take the Twelve Days of Christmas honoring the birth of the Baby Jesus. They run from Christmas Day, December 25th,
until January 5th, the day before the Epiphany, which is January 6th.
Here are the
feasts and honorees during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
December 25: Birth
of Jesus
December 26: Feast for St. Stephen (First Martyr)
December 27: Feast for St. John the Evangelist
December 28: Feast for the Holy Innocents
December 29: St. Thomas Becket
December 30: St. Egwin of Evesham (or 6th day in the Octave of Christmas)
December 31: St. Sylvester I
January 1: The Circumcision of Our Lord (Octave Day of Christmas)
January 2: Holy Name of Jesus
January 3: Sts. Zosimus and Athanasius (or Octave Day of St. John)
January 4: St. Aquilinus (or Octave Day of the Holy Innocents)
January 5: Vigil of the Epiphany (and St.Telesphorus)
[January 6: Epiphany]
December 27: Feast for St. John the Evangelist
December 28: Feast for the Holy Innocents
December 29: St. Thomas Becket
December 30: St. Egwin of Evesham (or 6th day in the Octave of Christmas)
December 31: St. Sylvester I
January 1: The Circumcision of Our Lord (Octave Day of Christmas)
January 2: Holy Name of Jesus
January 3: Sts. Zosimus and Athanasius (or Octave Day of St. John)
January 4: St. Aquilinus (or Octave Day of the Holy Innocents)
January 5: Vigil of the Epiphany (and St.Telesphorus)
[January 6: Epiphany]
Today, January 2nd,
is the 9th day of the Twelve Days of Christmas which started with
the birth of our Savior and Redeemer on Christmas Day, and ends on January 5th,
the day before the Epiphany.
Of course, most of
people do not know or remember the Twelve Days, let alone the Epiphany when the
Wise Men, Magi, princes, princesses and other long-distance travelers arrived
at the stable to honor the new Messiah.
A magnificent Star of Bethlehem illuminated the Earth drawing kings,
priests, rulers and shepherds to the Baby in the Manger.
After Christmas,
the 2nd Day of Christmas celebrates St. Stephen, the first Martyr
for Jesus. The 3rd Day honors St. John the Evangelist, the only
Apostle not martyred and author of the Gospel, Revelations, and other works. The Holy Innocents, honored on the 4th
Day were the victims of King Herod’s murder of baby males in Bethlehem. Those are the four major feasts and celebrations
of the Birth of the Child Jesus and fulfillment of ancient prophecies.
Could you imagine
Herod’s action? How arrogant for any
human to believe their Will is all-powerful like the Will of Father
Creator. They have no concept of the power
of the Creator’s “Perfect Love” for all of Creation.
It is so easy to
get caught up in the frenzied, frantic, freaky, fear-filled minds of the people. Their collective will, is like a giant vacuum
hose sucking everything in sight down into an endless Back Hole.
Okay, enough of
the frayed edges of humanity where wounds are laid open and never heal.
We need help to
get through to them. Before we can help them,
we must get their attention and shatter the glass wall surrounding their lives,
the same glass wall that blocks them from seeing good.
They have
forgotten how to pray, the need for prayer, and how it can only be achieved through
their attainment of the insights of the Holy Spirit. It did not used to be like this. There was a time when all knew nearly 1,600
years ago, a few hundred years after the death of Jesus.
Over the years it
seemed to lose favor and before long it was lost in the past, the prayers and
feasts honoring the Baby Jesus being replaced by Santa, Reindeer, presents, so
many and so expensive, self-indulgence, and nary a thought of the wonder of the
Jesus Child, the miracles of the Creator, the path to the Kingdom from the Holy
Spirit, or the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies.
Poof – it was all
gone, buried in an avalanche of credit card debt, one-upping the neighbors, honoring
the false gods of commerce, and ignoring their relationship to Father Creator
and his beloved Son. Greed, Power and Control,
the magic triangle of the Dark Side.
Only this triangle
tilts upside down, forcing everything down to the single point at the bottom. Now they tragically find themselves spiraling
toward the Black Hole to the Abyss, the gateway to the Void of the Anti-Matter.
Thanks to your Father’s
never-ending benevolence and unwillingness to give up on his Creations, they
still have a shot at repentance, and redemption. In other words, there is still hope St. Peter
might find their name on the list at the Golden Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven.
They must wake up
before it is too late, and time is getting short.
First people must
seek out solitude and peace, surrounded by silence if at all possible. You must learn to meditate. Purge your mind of all worldly distractions,
and your spirit of all those other-worldly distractions. It may not be easy at first because humans constantly
overload their sensory perceptions.
Everything is too
much, too many, too loud, too inferior, too cheap, too impersonal, too stupid
or just plain nonsense. Our sensory nerves
are not just frayed, they are fried. We
are addicted to downloading way more than our touch, scent, sight, hearing or
taste can absorb and process.
Get off the bandwagon following the lead of everyone else and be brave, be courageous, be
smart, and be aware of yourself by being different. Think, think of choices and consequences, but
think for yourself with the many God-given gifts you have received.
Free yourself from
the shackles of slavery in far many more ways than you can imagine, by reaching
the state of peace devoid of the distractions of life.
When you reach the
place of peace and solitude, ask for help from Jesus to activate the Holy
Spirit within you, long dormant while waiting to be called by you for help.
In your lifetime
you have drifted farther and farther away from Jesus, who is the pathway to the
Father. The Dark Side has been
harvesting more and more weak and fear-laden souls of late.
Rule number one in
Creation. It is foolhardy to attempt to
usurp control over any of the Creator’s Creations. Whatever actions you take to accumulate power
and possessions that are not yours in the first place to possess, is an affront
to the Creator.
You can kiss off any
hope for seeing the Kingdom by embracing the Void where contaminated souls are
transformed into anti-matter for eternity and beyond. You might call that Hell.
At present there
are a considerable number of contaminated and lost souls walking the Earth who
collectively represent a roadblock to salvation in the Kingdom of Heaven for
all others. Do not be surprised if
substantial numbers of them are taken from the Earth to clear a path for those
of faith, or those who will seek and find faith.
Not all seeds
planted will grow in the Earth. Some must
die away so that others will thrive. It
is your choice. You have much bigger
concerns than school, work, or retirement.
Just getting by is not going to be good enough.
Meditate, ask
Jesus to help awaken the Holy Spirit in you, fill yourself with the wonders of
the Holy Spirit, find the pathway to Jesus and the Father, become aware of the
Perfect Love of the Creator – then go out and live the will of Father Creator -
knowing you have found redemption and salvation, through the Son.
Yours in Hope,
Just another traveler On the Road to Kingdom Come.
