A Place where we belong

It seems that most of those whom wish to follow Traditional Catholicism have encountered a roadblock or brick wall in regards to family members understanding our commitment to our faith,
just this morning My mother In Law informed my wife that " even if we didn't go to church that Jesus would still love us" , I'm sure that My mother in law is glad she did not say that to me.

Unfortunately this woman (my mother in law) is another topic for another time as I truly wish to avoid backbiting, but this problem seems all too common to those that wish to remain faithful to the Magestrium of the Church. Another Case in point is Augusta's Post-Beaten Down-, she has experienced some of the same rebuke from her family, although she is a convert this kind of angst is found in cradle Catholics such as myself and my wife.

Well, as we connect more and more with fellow parishioners we find this sense of unity that is sometimes lacking from even our own family. I feel it is much more than just a coming together of like minded individuals but rather a true gathering of members of the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit connects us to each other and we FEEL IT connecting to the depths of our soul. Its amazing what can happen when you really set yourself aside and let God use you to do his work, yes you will encounter those that will rebuke you and those that will ridicule but when you come out on the other side you will really find a place where you belong.

The Mother Child Relationship

The mother / child bond is something very unique, very holy if you will, It never ceases to amaze me each time I see the enemy infiltrate this bond. This post is to delve not so much as to the abortion issue as those children are shun even before birth, but to address the issue of people whom are too selfish to realize that life is more than about them selfs after their baby is born.

It is very curious and sad to when a mother will choose anything over their own child. This is a bond of Love, nurturing, and life the whole process from conception to death a mother usually is there all through it all.

I am very blessed to have such a wonderful mother that personifies the role of Mother, with Mary as her inspiration and guide of how to be the perfect mother, I would venture to say that maybe mine has lived this as close as her human nature can allow.

This may be why I am so shocked to hear when a mother is getting her children taken into foster care she would announce to their face that they are not wanted in their home anyway, or when a mother would perpetually drill harmful ideas and thought into their children. Also the more common norm of such evils exist when a mother whom had done a semi-decent job, is willing to give it all up for a random Man for fear of being alone for the rest of their life.

All of those examples have personally affected my life at one point or another through some of the people I care very deeply for. This is a great disappointment as to when there are many loving homes whom pray every night for God to deliver upon them the blessing of a child.

The evil one has convinced these women that their needs differ than their child, that the mother should not put herself aside for her child, that its not important to lead by example but rather to do as they please and let the chips fall as they may.

These women are producing adults whom have severe emotional problems, have trouble coping with reality, as well as severe feelings of rejection and no self worth. They have inadequately and deficiently sent them out to this world full of pain, and hurt.

I ask that you pray for these poor souls whom seek out the approval of none other than the woman who brought them into this world, Please pray that they may accept Mary as their mother who's unconditional love is pouring out for them and for all.
