Who are you?
Who are You?
Romans 12:2: Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
View of God
First and foremost God is love and God’s love manifests itself in us through his Grace and our Faith. God thirsts for our love and for our complete commitment to him. He thirsts for souls. God is Truth and his truth is peace. His peace is manifested through his truth because his truth brings order and without his order there is Chaos. Christ is his son and he is our Sheppard, Christ came to earth so that we would be made new and whole in him with the guidance of the Holy Spirit who is still with us today. Christ is the Eucharist and the Mass is Heaven on Earth. God is not a judge in the human sense of the term, in that his judgment is not driven by his desire to punish but by his love for us and his desire that we live our lives to their fullest potential. Only by following God’s law can we fully recognize who we are and what we are meant to be come. His laws are not to be thought of as boundaries in which we are trapped and can not escape but instead markers on a path that we must follow in order to have peace in our daily lives and to finally come to rest in the eternal peace that is heaven. God wants only the best for his children and His love is the key.
View of what’s really “reality”?
Reality is that our existence is precious. Reality is that we were given the gift of life and that our life is a life of service to God and his people. Reality is that we must love or perish. Reality is that this world is based in the truth of God and his plan for humanity. We do not decide this plan for ourselves or for others; we merely discern this path and freely choose to follow or not to follow it. Either we think we know better or we admit that God knows all and that we are dependent on his revelation. This world IS NOT relative. In reality this world is in chaos because we have chosen to be our own god. Reality is that we were made in the image and likeness of God, but we are NOT god. We are merely a manifestation of him and for this we must be careful not to fall into the trap of self worship and salvation. This is why there is so much Chaos, because we have forgotten who we are and we have forgotten that our knowledge and lives are finite, where as God’s knowledge and existence is infinite and not limited by the flesh. Reality is that with out love God’s light can not shine, we must be the light in this world of darkness and we can not be this light with out committing ourselves completely to servitude in Christ. In service, Christ shines through our example, because in service we are a manifestation of Christ and his total love and commitment to humanity.
View of humanity?
Humanity is made up of many individuals who collectively belong to one body, that body is the human family, and the human family is the body of Christ. Each of us is connected to the other in this bond, and we must always be aware of the need to help our brother so as to help ourselves. Each human being is heaven sent and called to sainthood. We are meant to love God and to serve him, this commitment is to manifest itself in our love for our brother and out of our love for the gift of life. Humanity will perish with out the truth of Christ and with out his love. Humanity is in chaos because it has forgotten Christ and it has forgotten its brothers. It is selfish and it is self-serving. This is contrary to who we are and what we are meant to be. Because of this we will continue to suffer and the current apocalypse will continue as the rivers run red with the blood of the hungry, the impoverished, and war.
View of moral order (What’s right and what’s wrong?)
Right is the path of Christ, wrong is any path that does not conform to his ideals. Let me be clear that it is possible to follow the path of Christ without acknowledging it is the path of Christ. Even still, it is still the path of Christ and for this it is right, not because you decided it is right. Wrong is not subscribing to the truth, not admitting that there is actual truth, or outright rejecting truth. Relativism is wrong and it manifests itself in the reckless endangerment of you and your brothers. Wrong is considering yourself the be all and the end all. In the end you are nothing without Christ, from dust you came and from dust you will return. Being humble is right.
View of purpose (why things exist?)
We exist to love and to rejoice in the fact that we were given life in order to share in God’s eternal Glory. Life is the greatest gift and for this gift we are joyfully and eternally indebted to God our Father. We repay this debt with love and the discernment of His will. This itself is a gift because through our love and our service to him and our common man we recognize our full potential and find peace in our lives.
