Welcome to St. Catherine of Siena · Phoenix AZ Source: http://littlestsouls.wordpress.com

“Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.” (Mt. 7:13). This is traditional Christian teaching, which has been held by many , and the Church, since the time of Christ. We must not water down Jesus’ words. Now, I do not presume to know how many are saved, but if you reject these words, I ask you to read this article. If you accept them, you might also like to reflect on why it would be uncharitable to deny the reality of God’s justice.

Following Reginald Garrigou Lagrange, the eminent theologian, “I believe that the way of love is preferable to the way of fear. Nonetheless, Hell is as real as sin.”

According to Sacred Scripture, only the pure and humble of heart will see God. This means that we must acknowledge our sin, repent of it, and then make amends. As St. John Vianney says, “To be a Christian and to live in sin is a monstrous contradiction. A Christian must be holy.” If we deny or diminish sin, we inevitably grow cold and blind; we wound the tender Heart of Our Lord; we lead souls away from God and His Sacra- ments.

St. Padre Pio encouraged weekly Confession as a minimum. St. went to Confession daily. St. John Vian- ney heard confessions for up to 16 hours a day. Bl. Seelos encouraged all to confess their sins. St. Pius X encouraged frequent Communion with an ardent zeal!

… How often do we receive the Sacraments, which are the securest means of persevering in grace? How igno- rant we are of God’s goodness, and our need for His constant help! But we can change this! Start by thanking God daily for the Mass, in which He offers Himself to God the Father for our salvation. We need His help every day (“Thou canst do nothing of thyself; one thing only canst thou do, offend Me…” – Jesus to Sr. Benigna Con- solata).

He deserves our gratitude every day! We should strive to avoid sin every day!

Now… back to Fulton Sheen’s quote. Why is it worse to deny sin than to sin? Because by denying sin, we deny our need for forgiveness; we remain blind and deaf to the inspirations of God, which seek to change us and then change the world! If we are blind to sin, we will go on offending Our Lord, growing in unhappiness, and provoking God’s just anger. For the same reason, the denial of Hell is worse than Hell. Hell is merely a just state of misery for those who have refused to love, whereas the denial of Hell is most unjust! Sinners must be admon- ished, instructed and warned. We must pray for them!

“My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls and especially for poor sinners… The prayer most pleasing to Me is prayer for the conversion of sinners. Know, My daughter, that this prayer is always heard and an- swered.”- Jesus to St. Faustina

God reluctantly punishes unrepentant sinners (whose punishments are far less than they deserve, according to St. Catherine of Siena, St. Catherine of Genoa, Fr. Faber. St. John Eudes etc.). “This is My torment”, said Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary.

Whether or not you are scrupulous, if you fear God’s justice, the remedy is not denial; it is faith (which coexists with humility)! It is enough to know that God desires our salvation, that His mercy is inexhaustible, that we can each become saints, and that prayer is extremely powerful for the conversion of sinners! Remember, dear read- er, that God is the source of all goodness, and His ways are perfect, though incomprehensible, ” … for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride” (Dn 4:37).

I end with a poignant quote from St. Faustina: “Love casts out fear. Since I came to love God with my whole being and with all the strength of my heart, fear has left me. Even if I were to hear the most terrifying things about God’s justice, I would not fear Him at all, because I have come to know Him well. God is love, and His Spirit is peace. I see now that my deeds which have flowed from love are more perfect than those which I have done out of fear. I have placed my trust in God and fear nothing. I have given myself over to His holy will; let Him do with me as He wishes, and I will still love Him.” – St. Faustina, Diary, 589

3 January 22, 2017 La Obediencia Por: P. Sergio G. Román | Fuente: Desde la fe Fuente: es.catholic.net

Obedecer significa hacer la voluntad del que manda. Es un valor fundamental no sólo de la familia, célula base de la sociedad, sino de la sociedad misma que se vale de leyes para conseguir la convivencia armónica de sus miembros.

¿Qué es la obediencia? Obedecer significa hacer la voluntad del que manda. Es un valor fundamental no sólo de la familia, célula base de la sociedad, sino de la sociedad misma que se vale de leyes para conseguir la convivencia armónica de sus miembros. En algunos grupos se exige una es- tricta obediencia para conseguir con mayor efectividad sus fines; por ejemplo, en el ejér- cito o en las instituciones de servicio que se organizan con su mismo esquema de mando: policía, bomberos, grupos de rescate y demás.

Las empresas humanas tienen también un escalafón de autoridad al que se someten los subalternos. En el plano religioso, las congregaciones, que tienen como carisma la vida fraterna, se comprometen, con voto, a obedecer al superior en cuya voluntad quieren descubrir la voluntad de Dios. La Iglesia Católica se funda también en la obediencia a Cristo y a su Vicario en la tierra: el Papa, quien con los obispos diri- ge la Iglesia. Vicario significa el que hace las veces de. Por eso, cuando los católicos obedecemos, sabemos que es a Cristo a quien obedecemos.

El que obedece no se equivoca Es difícil mandar con rectitud. Tan fácil que es confundir la voluntad que responde a nuestros intereses con la voluntad del pueblo que nos elige o la del mismo Dios a quien representamos. Cuando la autoridad gobierna a su capricho, se convierte en un dictador y la única forma de hacerse obedecer es por la violencia y el terror. Cuando el que manda lesiona el derecho, cesa la obligación de obedecer. Dicen que el que obedece no se equivoca, pero no es tan fácil. El que obedece conserva su libertad y su capacidad de juzgar. Si obedece una ley injusta, él mismo es injusto sin ninguna excusa. Y esto vale también para los sometidos a obediencia mi- litar. El principio es: debemos obedecer primero a nuestra conciencia. Y un principio más alto todavía es: debemos obedecer an- tes a Dios que a los hombres.

El que manda En ese libro inmortal de Antoine de Exuspery, El Principito, se nos narra un episodio en el que el pequeño príncipe llega a un planeta en el que gobierna un sabio rey que presume que todos lo obedecen. El Principito le pide que le mande al sol que se ponga, porque a él le encantan los crepúsculos. Entonces el rey ordena al sol que se ponga ¡a las 7.40 p.m.! El Principito protesta y le dice al rey que así no tiene ninguna gracia ya que es la hora en que el sol se pone. El rey contesta que la autoridad sólo debe mandar lo que los súbditos pueden obedecer.

El que obedece Obedecer nace del convencimiento de que el que manda lo hace por nuestro bien o por el bien común. Entonces la obedien- cia es completa porque lo haremos inmediatamente y tal como nos lo mandaron. Cuando obedecemos así, nuestra libertad queda intacta, no es lesionada. En cambio, cuando obedecemos por miedo perdemos nuestra libertad y caemos en el sometimiento, en la servidumbre y en la esclavitud. Por eso se insiste en que los papás deben educar a sus hijos más en el buen uso de la libertad que en la obediencia ciega. Esto no quiere decir que no debamos obedecer cuando no estemos de acuerdo, porque entonces la familia caería en el caos. Pero sí tenemos derecho a pedir explicaciones que hagan razonable lo que se nos manda.

Cristo, modelo de obediencia “... (Cristo) y se humilló a sí mismo, obedeciendo hasta la muerte y muerte de Cruz” (Flp 2, 8) “En efecto, así como por la desobediencia de un solo hombre todos fueron constituidos pecadores, así también por la obe- diencia de uno solo todos serán constituidos justos.”. (Rom 5, 19)
