By deepening our thoughts today in the divine wisdom and at the same time looking at the cruel reality that surrounds us, we understand more than ever that we are living the hard and dangerous times of the end of history.
Why do I say that? And what do I rely on in my statements? Or if I better fit the question: how does it affect me personally? You might as well ask.
Well, looking diligently at the postmodern trend, we understand that the spiritual darkness that encompassed the world did not come from nothing, but rather generated and attributed to our fierce ‘ability’ to manipulate ourselves and the mind alone, in a desperate attempt to reconcile. And to keep together in the lives dominated by an unequivocal “duplicitous” thinking both the worldly lifestyle, the sins that come with it, but also God and His holiness.
Eager for sin, man thus quickly rushed to the leadership of the most beautiful and divine creation, seizing it for his own interests (I am speaking here of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ) and transforming it into a true machine of lies; Chiseled so much that it strikes precisely and directly in the human spirit, managing to transform the limp being into a modern “parishioner”, docile and conformed to dubious principles.
So these are the days of sifting, the ones that the Bible tells us about and that, in fact, we’ve been waiting for a long time because they mark the end of our run. It is the time when, as a skilled craftsman, God will separate sour and good grapes, weeds and gold from rusty and worthless tins.
In this light of understanding the Bible, all of us who have put our trust in God should strive to remain spiritually vigilant, choosing to guide our lives according to His Word and the prescriptions it contains, to the detriment of the pursuit. Crazy about the illusory ‘riches’ of this sinful and miserable world.
Let us do all things without murmuring and without hesitation, so that at the coming of the Lord we may be found blameless and clean, honoring the title of children of God.
Be blessed!
