By surrendering to God we dive into unknown territory.
To let God control every aspect of our lives, body, mind,
family, finances, etc, takes a firm desicion, courage and
daily and continuous awakening, so that God can act in
us and through us.
It has to be what God wills, and not what we want, we
lay our lives open in front of Him; "do with me as you
please my Lord." Like that we become malleable; we
can be reformed in line with the Kingdom of God;
born again.
"Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless
one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
(John 3,3)
God is unlimited in power, He has always existed, He
exists now, and He will always exist, world without end.
You and me are limited beings, limited in intelligence and
in power, but the fact that we have intelligence in the first
place, which, if it is being put to good use, brings us further
in understanding, is very encouraging.
Also the fact that we believe that if we practise the faith
with ferveur we can become children of God, Jesus being
our brother, we live with the Holy Spirit operating within
us; God is Our Father, is certainly deeply reassuring; I know
I want to align my will to His.
The first thing we often encounter in entering into
this interiour life with Christ, is our own resistance.
That can take the form of fear, outrage, anger, confusion,
judgment, blame; we judge that this is somebody's else's fault.
We must stay present with all this; we must embrase it;
own it. This is ours.
Even if people insult us to our face, our reaction
is still 100 % our own responsibility.
Our reactions and feelings are inside us, they are personal,
subjective, constantly changing; not objective facts.
However they constitute the field where we sow and plant,
using our willpower and self control. Work closly and
attentively with feelings and reactions, especially the
strong ones, they are gifts!
The truth about God is embedded in our hearts, and for
people of former strong Catholic countries like France;
the eldest daughter of the Church, they carry it in their
ADN.
We need to stoke the embers of the fire to rekindle
it.
Ecumenism has done terrible damage, spread confusion
and introduced a fog of dimness into the
general understanding and precise doctrine of the
Catholic Church, all in the name of tolerance and
love.
Tolerance is not a Catholic virtue, and true love is
carried out in telling the truth, not compromising on it.
As a result of all this wasted time of ecumenism, today
only a minority of catholics believe in the Real Presence
of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist; because with
ecumenism protestantism entered into the modern Catholic
Church, and there is no supernatural life in protestantism;
their communion is only symbolic.
The modern CC has in many ways sold herself,
layed down with the devil (the world), but thanks to
Tradition who has held strong and protected the authentic
and entire doctrine, the Church is in some ways stronger
now than before. It constitutes the Remnant Church.
