A Spiritual Bouquet for the Descent of the Holy Spirit
Dear Friend,
Following up on my previous message about the Consistory of Cardinals next week, I’d like to direct your attention to one very important intention that should fill our Spiritual Bouquet <[link removed]> with graces:
We need to pray for the Holy Spirit to descend upon the Cardinals at the consistory as if it were the Day of Pentecost!
I don’t think I’m overstating the matter and you can add your gift to the spiritual bouquet now <[link removed]?>. We are at a critical moment in the life of the Church. As you know, we have a new pope whose election was a shock to everyone, ourselves included! Who could have imagined an American pope, ever?
Yet, we believe that Pope Leo is the legitimately chosen Vicar of Christ, but, to be quite honest about things, he comes with a few question marks that have yet to be clarified. It is not entirely clear, for example, how much he is going to continue some of the contradictory policies that caused so much division in the Church under the previous pontificate.
For example, we have a right to be concerned about
- The wishy-washy ethic on Communion for the divorced and remarried that issued from the awful 2016 document Amoris laetitiae;
- The doctrinal confusion about critical issues such as homosexuality, the push for “deaconesses”, and the alarming syncretism of indigenous religions into the True Faith;
- The persecution of adherents to the Traditional Latin Mass which is being presently carried out by certain bishops in our own country with a vengeance;
- The literal defection from the True Faith of the Church in Germany;
- The unprecedented and highly unusual focus on “synodality” that rings so foreign to faithful Catholics.
There are also personnel questions that need to be addressed such as the continuing tenure of the truly harmful Cardinal Fernandez in the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith as well as the recent appointment of bishops who have questionable credentials and frightening ideological leanings.
This is all the more reason why we need to pray for the descent of the Holy Spirit on the cardinals to call down a new Pentecost upon the Church. Many of the issues I just mentioned are on the agenda and may still be raw from the previous experiences, so we must ask for the Light from On High to give the Cardinals all the wisdom they need to deliberate well, in union with our Sacred Tradition, and to bolster the Church for a new age.
Our petition should be the cry from the heart of the Church at Pentecost:
“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the Faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love, send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth!”
Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
