Open letter to Christina Gallagher and Father McGinnity from Anna Stafford, Catholic lady.
Those who have ears, hear. christinagallagher.org smwa.org maryrefugeofsouls.com holylove.org johnleary.com One of the hardest things to forgive is debt forgiveness, because it only takes a split second for a relative or loved one, or friend or clergy member, or board member, or government leader, to sign and gamble away our well-being and financial security. How often we see this happen today with all the inflation. Bad split-second decisions have ruined many, led to suicides, homelessness, and the ever-searching to "get back" what was in our minds, lost. Well, the only thing truly lost to us is God. God cannot be lost to us even if we miss Mass, because God is omnipresent. The Mass is a celebration desired that we all partake in either physically or spiritually, or at the very least, that we desire of the desire of baptism, to want to go to daily or even hourly Mass for Jesus: to atone for our sins and for the sins of the entire world, to develop our character, to become holy and one in Christ, to ponder the mysteries such as the stations or the Rosary, the psalms, the scripture, the blood of Christ, the passion, the Mystical Body of Christ, and so-on. The Body of Christ does not need the Mass or the internet to exist, because it exists out of time and area and place. All the good writings of the world have already been written in heaven, because Heaven is outside of time. In the same way, all the saints have been born and died and are in heaven, so to speak, because Heaven is outside of time. But we are in time right now, but there are times when we feel we are outside of time, and can go all places and do all things at once, like an angel, without need for food, for gas, for lodging, or for the sun to rise. We wonder what Heaven will "Be like." Heaven can be obtained for those on Earth who are like angels, like little Children who trust in Him completely, rain or shine, mass or no Mass, sickness or health, rich or poor, bad times and in the smallness of the good times. Heaven is truly like the marriage feast. We must indeed all "wait" for this marriage feast to come in the Second Coming, or even at the hour of our Death, which is a mini-second coming for all of us. Many fear death and it should not be this way at all. We should welcome death as a child would welcome his or her own mother. Death would mean seeing our Lady for the first time for many of us, and our beloved guardian angel, St. Joseph, quite possibly St. Padre Pio, St. Theresa Little Flower, St. Michael, and many other saints. If we only knew the benefit of dying well, we would want to die every day, all day long. We should practice dying well, every day, by contemplating Heaven and our final hour. Every hour in that sense can be our final hour, and we can offer up our mini-deaths to Our Lord to compensate for those who come unprepared. Nothing is ever wasted. We can offer up our sorrows and joys for the final hour lacking in our family, friends, and even enemies, and those not yet baptized. We can offer up so much to help people get into Heaven, that if we offered up our whole life, we would perhaps be amazed at the people able to enter heaven through this practice, that otherwise would not be able to. It is only selfishness and greed that causes us not to want the worst sinner to repent and go to Heaven. It's the inconvenience the sinner causes us, their constant disruptions, heresies, abuses, thefts, lies, bankruptcies, debts, riches, immodesties, rudeness, ill words, ill works, that blankets us in sorrow and causes us to want to run and shout "enough is enough!" Yet only God can truly tell us when "enough is enough." Maybe instead of always pointing at this person's defects, we should continue to clean up our own. Some of us like to think "well, I already did that a decade ago!" But this would be hidden spiritual pride. Look over every aspect of your life. What do you love? What do you value, in life? What do you expect to be handed down from heaven to you cart-blanche by for example saying daily rosary, going to Mass, or being little and hidden? Do you expect to be saved? Well, if someone rude is in your life, it's because you haven't taken the time out to fully get yourself in a Holy mind-set. You are still attached 95% to the world; that is why a worldly person is on your case. I guarantee, if you were not of the world, it would still hurt to see the worldly person, but it would not be so upsetting interiorly, because your heart would not be set on the same ideas, motives, ill plans, or self-seeking ventures and adventures. Return like a little Child, and many things will come from the prayers.
