D.C. mayor signs same-sex ‘marriage’ legislation: A Reaction

-
"Via peccatorum complanata lapidibus : et in fine illorum inferi, et tenebræ, et pœnæ.
The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains." (Ecclesiasticus 21:11)



You can find the article to which I am reacting here[D.C. mayor signs same-sex ‘marriage’ legislation]

We are fast approaching the time of Christmas, when Our Lord humbled Himself into human form to bring the way of truth and salvation upon the earth. Sadly, even as we ready ourselves to celebrate this time of great joy and light, there are some who promulgate the darkness of lies upon the earth and think of nothing greater than the falsity and fallibility of the human intellect. They spread the death of sin and ignore He who brings salvation and love to the world. They may call good bad and bad good, but it does not change eternal truth.

"No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Matthew 6:24)

"Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever." (1 John 2:15 - 17)
We should love the Lord with all our heart, and all our soul. We must not be deceived by feelings or emotional arguments, but be led by what is the universal truth which has been revealed to us by Christ. May we pray this Advent and Christmas season for a strengthening of Christian morals and values in society and for a greater reverence for that which is holy, for we cannot serve two masters. Either we serve the Lord with all our heart and soul or the world, but we cannot do both.

"Enter in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leads to life: and few there are that find it!" (Matthew 7:13-14)
In this world of relativism, modernism, nihilism, indifferentism, etc., many paths are proposed, but the fact is there is but one narrow path leading to God. How many are deceived to believe that they can do whatever they please and still be on it, but the Lord says it Himself: "few there are that find it!"  Our brethren in D.C. and many others have deviated from that path, let us pray that they find the path and learn to serve God and not mammon.

Pax tecum.

Condoms made for 12 year olds. Sad day.

-

How sad are the times when the youth are openly corrupted. It is a travesty that young boys, aged between 12-14, will no longer be led down the road of self-restraint, but will now have a means to give into their base passions. Condoms provide only a means to self-gratification and a path to incomplete love. Sadly, these youth will be given this illusion as a means to an end and will be deluded into thinking that this action is love or will be trapped in the sin of lust. Have people really given up on the young and abandoned them to their lustful desires at their most vulnerable time, when they are at peak of the battle their hormones and are discovering life? Instead of children being taught the dignity and honor of their bodies, they are being taught how to defile it. It is truly a sad day. Read the excerpt from the article printed in  Mail Online.

Fighting for Christmas

-
Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis (And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us). This is a great demonstration of the love and humility possessed by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, yet I find myself walking the streets of Singapore surrounded by an endless barrage of sales and secular symbols of Christmas. How my heart laments over the disregard of a such a momentous sacrifice bestowed upon man by a loving God who has found himself replaced by idols of materialism and capitalism. Our great Creator humbled himself to come into human form and as if this action were not enough, He came into this world in the most humble of circumstances; the son of a carpenter, born in a manger, destined to lead a life of simplicity. Being the King of Kings, He could have easily come into this world in a prominent social family, but He chose to lead by example. Humility and charity would also be demonstrated by the Virgin Mary, His most blessed and chaste mother. Their...

A Self-Righteous Pharisee Complaining

-
Life is quite amusing. It becomes all the more hilarious when people use terms and words which they don't truly comprehend. For example, pharisee. Yes, that is right, pharisee. I had the privilege of someone, in not so many words, say that I sound like a pharisee; however, this person does not know me and the discussion, which was transpiring on a mutual friend's Facebook page, was about Eucharistic reception on the tongue and hand. My friend, who shall remain nameless, shared an experience that occurred and his feelings about Eucharistic reception, and of course, a discussion ensued. The reason the discussion progressed to a degree was due to the fact that we cannot receive the Eucharist on our tongue. This has been a diocese wide declaration due to H1N1; however, I made my opinion known that I felt this wrong not only because of the recent letter [you can see the letter here: http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2009/11/it-is-not-licit-to-deny-communion-on.html ] that has bee...
