It's more that it distracts me from what I should be doing. It has finally occurred to me that I should look at the compulsive things I do as rewards for doing those things that I don't want to do. As far as your article goes, I am good with the Pope consecration the world to Mary.

They need to tap in or jump on board -- not stand back and grumble. God bless you.

They forget that Christ is in charge of His Church. They also forget that Popes are infallible, but not impeccable. They also forget that the Pope has the Power of the Keys - a pope may be - like us , weak, a sinner (did he not say so !!?, prone to weakness and even error (we need to re-think our 1st Pope - the bungling, fumbling St. Peter) - but the Pope is also granted special graces; and it is from him alone - by the Grace of God - that the power of this consecration will come. <br /><br />As to the "secret". Is there more? Does it concern the Faith? The "interpretations" given by the Cardinals are there own opinions, which we can accept or reject (in, charitable terms). Will the Church be chastised? Well, I think She already is... certainly, the "silent apostasy" spoken of by Pope John Paul is upon us. <br /><br />I think a particular strength of your post is the emphasis for confidence, for us not to be disturbed... St. Teresa of Avila warned people about those dangers. Evil may abound, but Grace will be more abundant - we only need to tap in. <br /><br /><br /> Baronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265555388172261643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066465714745281883.post-11982291206870130102013-10-21T08:39:17.058-05:002013-10-21T08:39:17.058-05:00There was only one rule in that garden: Do not eat...<i>There was only one rule in that garden: Do not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.</i><br /><br />I read all of this as a myth containing great truth about our loss of innocence and our gaining the ability to choose between right and wrong, life and death, etc. I see that I make that choice many times a day. Some choices lead to hope. Others lead to despair. I pray that I make the right choices today. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06976342950011924171noreply@blogger.com
