Lithuanian Bishops Have Been Heroic!

We Often Pray To Jesus; We Pray To The Father, Especially In The 'our Father'; But Not Often To The Holy Spirit....pray Often To The Holy Spirit So That He May Help Us, Give Us The Strength, Give Us The Inspiration And Lead Us Forward.

To Be Prophets, In Particular, By Demonstrating How Jesus Lived On This Earth, And To Proclaim How The Kingdom Of God Will Be In Its Perfection. A Religious Must Never Give Up Prophesising Let Us Think About What So Many Great Saints, Monks And Religious Men And Women Have Done, From St Anthony The Abbot Onward. Being Prophets May Sometimes Involve Making Ruido [spanish For Noise]. I Do Not Know How To Put It Prophecy Makes Noise, Uproar, Some Say 'a Mess.' But In Reality, The Charism Of Religious People Is Like Yeast: Prophecy Announces The Spirit Of The Gospel.

At Stake Are The Lives Of Many Children Who Will Be Discriminated Against In Advance, And Deprived Of Their Human Development Given By A Father And A Mother And Willed By God. At Stake Is The Total Rejection Of God’s Law Engraved In Our Hearts.

It Also Happens To Me That When I Meet A Clericalist, I Suddenly Become Anti-clerical. Clericalism Should Not Have Anything To Do With Christianity. St. Paul, Who Was The First To Speak To The Gentiles, The Pagans, To Believers In Other Religions, Was The First To Teach Us That.

I Want To Remind Priests That The Confessional Must Not Be A Torture Chamber But Rather An Encounter With The Lord’s Mercy Which Spurs Us On To Do Our Best. A Small Step, In The Midst Of Great Human Limitations, Can Be More Pleasing To God Than A Life Which Appears Outwardly In Order But Moves Through The Day Without Confronting Great Difficulties. Everyone Needs To Be Touched By The Comfort And Attraction Of God’s Saving Love, Which Is Mysteriously At Work In Each Person, Above And Beyond Their Faults And Failings.
