There is a movement that has rapidly overwhelmed our entire country: transitioning to a new sex, destroying their ensouled body, and falsely believing they are a new or better person. Despite 81% of Americans believing in God, society has lost its end-goal: Heaven. People today have lost that vision of Paradise. Consider the change that would occur if people had this image of Paradise in their mind.
Reflections from the book, A Mother’s Holy Hour, are shared in honor of our high saint today, Mary, Mother of Grace.
It is God’s design to “renew the face of the earth” by the Holy Spirit using us as His instruments. Do we believe this?
We have become a society of people desiring to be cared for with complete “plug and play”-type answers for our needs. Suffering childhood trauma, a damaged self-identity, a contorted image of success and happiness, each person looks for truth from the very society feeding them lies but they find no answers. From this manifests violence seeping out of societal wounds in the forms of hostility, anger, and vengeance until in some souls it blows up into full-fledged massacres. Without God, all human remedies lose their purpose. The only way to transform this culture of death into a culture of life is to bring God back into it.
This week, we are celebrating the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven. As a babe kings honored Him. As a young man all abused Him. And now He will take those wounds into Heaven with Him, dignifying our humanity. Christ the King takes His proper seat at the right hand of God the Father and, with a watchful eye, oversees His dominion.
