March 25th is the usual Feast Day for the Annunciation when Mary said Yes and Salvation began irreversibly, even though the process began without fail when Mary was born, cause She can't say No to God, only No with God to all that is against God...9 months before Christmas is this Feast...but this year it is the beginning of Holy Week with Passion/Palm Sunday! Another whooping whopper of meaning...The True children of God are conceived in the womb of the Church...born again Christians in the womb of Mary! who share the Passion of Christ who is passionate for the salvation of souls! The Beginning of the New Creation...the First Adam and Eve said NO! to the Father, the New Adam and Eve say Yes! in our name...They'll never take it back, they got us covered...in Their Blood and Tears and Sacrifice, Perfect Love Eternal Life Insurance. Eve means Mother of the living...Mary is truly the Mother of Life...get a Life, get Mary, got Jesus?Be Merry! Eat, drink, and be Mary and Merry! that is the story of receiving His Body and Blood! Amen!
This Holy Thursday we are called to pray for Priests...what is it like to give Jesus in the Eucharist, the pardon for sins, in the meaning of His Words and in blessings? It means like Saint Joseph, to the Custodian, Guardian, the Shepherd of the Good Shepherd's Life, in your hands literally...Full Custody of the Christ Child...Joint Custody with Mary and with the Church. Here is a true story that says it all. A Foster Family took in a child from an abusive family with many problems. The foster home discovered multiple signs of abuse on the child on all levels, every nightmare you can imagine...yet the child survived was still affectionate yet very fearful and vulnerable, with eyes pleading for a look of love, willing to be embraced. Some months passed and then Social Services and Family Court decided that the original family was sufficiently rehabilitated and stabilized to have the child back...the foster family protested and pleaded presenting documentation from Doctors, therapists and the like with their professional opinion/evaluation determining how the child was abused, along with all their observations. The authorities said it is out of your hands, and it is best the child grows up as much as possible with the natural parents. The child returned to the nightmarish environment...after a month, the authorities saw the evidence of what the foster family was talking about and brought the child back to the foster family to safety. What a relief!...The family got to work, consoling and healing the child again from all the neglect and abuse...when suddenly, a few days later, the authorities came to whisk the child away...what was wrong now?...It was decided that the Catholic foster family was too religious and might warp the child, infringe on the child's freedom as a form of abuse...so they whisked the child away to stay with relatives of the original family or perhaps another...The foster family was heartbroken and to this day have no idea where the child is and have no right to know. Yet, the authorities said they would be willing to let them take care of children in the future, maybe, once reassessed, if their religious beliefs did not counter their policies...We receive Jesus like Joseph did, like Mary, as a Helpless Holy Infant, to take care of Him as we can, then we give Him away...not knowing into what kind of heart, soul or home He is going into...We may never hear of what happened to Him...we might see our Baby return once or twice a year, or at special occasions, we may be able to heal Him, feed Him, console Him if the soul comes to Confession or asks for help, otherwise...He is out there, Alone...yet He always remains affectionate, vulnerable, offering His embrace to any soul of good will, pleading for a look of love. Only God would do this for us, only God would ask this of us. Saint Joseph and Holy Mary show us how to take care Your Son!
Today is Saint Joseph's Feast Day: the Foster Father of Christ, the Savior of the Savior! The Provider, Shepherd and Protector of the Good Shepherd, Teacher and Master and Lord! Men can understand now their role as fathers and what the Father wants...to just be taken care of like a little boy who can leave all up to His Father! With Joseph and Mary, God can finally rest and just let His Best Children take care of Him, without the stress of being in charge! I can trust these Two! I don't have think ahead and make provisions for their weaknesses, just be a Big Kid...Like Joseph, we are called to adopt Jesus as our own, and then, it does not stop there...we must share in His Fatherhood and Mary's Motherhood to the point where God becomes our baby to really love God they way He loves us! He does this Divine Role Reversal where we can save God from harm, disease, suffering and death, and raise Him, educate, teach and guide as our own! We all carry Christ in us and are responsible for feeding His Life in us as real as a Mother nourishes a child in her womb...Christian means Christ Bearer, that is what and who we are. All that so that God can have a home in us, and feel at home in us, more than in heaven-He loves to share our life on earth more than sit on a Throne in heaven, as any Good Father wonders what His children are going through right now...Saint Joseph show us how to get as close as we can to God by accepting to be all things to Him, a helpless baby, so He can cuddle us, and a father who takes care of Jesus in the helpless souls around me!
The Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima (look that one up!) Next week, Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and Eve makes all things new: Holy Week is the New Creation, Jesus World Order, He restores Order, according to the Original Plan before Original sin, there was Original Love, Truth and Grace and Life...It is a historical Renovation and Restoration Job, Rescue Mission, Family Gathering, Deprogram, Debug, Detox from sin, Rehab, Relocate, spiritual physiotherapy Operation so we think, feel, desire, act, move as children of Light once again, with no shadow, no bruise, wound or scar tissue of darkness! Every day, we are brought to the Jesus Clinic for treatments, the Mary Beauty and Charm School of Holy Etiquette, and all is realigned, a total face, heart and soul and body lift! Fountain of eternal youth here I come! Just as every day God said and did something on each day of Creation, so does the Father and Spirit do through Jesus and Mary each day of Holy Week and They rest on the 7th day...and give a taste of the 8th Eternal Day of Eternity with the Risen Lord, the Day of the Lord...during Forty days He will radiate a sample of His New Life, New Heaven and Earth by His New Presence to us, then, up He goes on the Feast of the Ascension...then it's Pentecost, Mother's Day! when The Mother is most Mother for all of us, Mother of all those brought back to Life by Her Son! Jesus and the Father breathes His Fire of Love onto His Apostles, Mary receives the Kiss of Peace from the Spirit and blows it upon the Apostles too to send them out for the Harvest of souls, with a caress on the heart of each saying: You can do it son! for My Son is in you!...that is another story
Easter is April Fool's Day: What have I done for those I love that seems foolish but was something necessary and truly good. How many times must I look crazy to others for all that I do, for all the times I forgive and endure...you don't have to do that! you don't have to put up with that! Why I would of...a long time ago! people say. Our love, when pushed to the limit and beyond is insane in the eyes of many, of all those who have not done crazy good things for love. What about Jesus? Was His Love foolish to us, should He of not loved us so much? to the point of insanity? Is His love irrational, out of bounds, too much...You did not have to do that Lord just to save and heal little ol' me?! Would we say that? when caught in the bush, hanging upside down, on on the edge of a cliff, like a little lamb gone astray? No, we bleat out to the Good Shepherd to come and rescue us! He is not afraid to look like a Fool for love of us, am I willing to look like a fool for the sake of the souls He entrusts to me? Yes, Lord Yes! All the saints were not afraid to look like fools in the eyes of the world. Only Love understands.
