True sheep devour all trace of inner wolf, for love of shepherd and sheepfold. Alleluia!
Homily for the Wednesday in the Seventh Week of Eastertide (Feast of Saint Justin Marty), delivered Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Gladstone, Qld.
"... ‘Be on your guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you the overseers, to feed the Church of God which he bought with his own blood. I know quite well that when I have gone fierce wolves will invade you and will have no mercy on the flock. Even from your own ranks there will be men coming forward with a travesty of the truth on their lips to induce the disciples to follow them. So be on your guard..." (Acts 20:28-31).
"Show forth, O God, show forth your might, your might, O God, which you have shown for us. He thunders his voice, his mighty voice. Come, acknowledge the power of God... God is to be feared in his holy place; He gives strength and power to his people." (cf. Ps 68).
"Jesus raised his eyes to heaven and said: ‘Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us; I kept those you had given me; I have watched over them; [I] share[d] my joy with them to the full; I passed your word on to them... I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the evil one; [to] consecrate them in the truth; as you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth'..." (cf Jn 17:11-19).
"... there is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle — the ascesis and mortification that gradually lead to living in the peace and joy of the Beatitudes: He who climbs never stops going from beginning to beginning, through beginnings that have no end. He never stops desiring what he already knows." (CCC 2015).
"Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the 'mystery of iniquity' in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh." (CCC 675).
