“From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.” Luke 12:48
“We the people”. The first words of the basis of the United States of America. The top line of our nation’s founding document, the Constitution. This nation has been given many gifts. For two and a half centuries we have stood strong behind those gifts as a giver of greatest gifts. Our men and women died that others may be free. We have epitomized Christ more than most realize and a lot more than any liberal will admit.
Now, we stand against a wall. A solid line of enemies to our nation’s founding principles and to our faith as Christians. We are commanded that we must not speak of God nor pray in public. The Commandments that are the bricks in the foundation of our way of life and law are cast out of the public square. Allah is protected while the One True God. The Name above all names is reviled. If we stand for our values, God’s truth, we are attacked and sued. Society and the government seek to destroy us. Using all of its immense power against us with the singular purpose – concede and renounce your belief or be destroyed.
This is a time of testing by God Almighty. This is the situation He has set to determine who will stand and fight for Him. Who will stand against the enemies and be willing to give their last measure in defense of their faith.
“We the people” have been given so much. “We the people” as Catholics know what we’ve been given through Jesus on the cross and in the Eucharist. Much is demanded of “we the Catholic people” to “we the people” because we know the truth. We have been given the very life of Jesus on the cross – think of what that demands of us.
“Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 1588
The times we live in are quickly moving toward God’s Judgement. Soon all will stand before His Throne to face eternity with Him or in Hell. Jesus is withholding “the sword of justice” (1588) for this “Day of Mercy.” The door is available for Mercy and “We the People” of God are called upon to be that doorway. We are called to be the doorway that leads to all “the people” can find God’s Mercy.
There are two requirements of ‘we the people’ of God in these times. 1- stand for God. Be standing true to Him when He returns. 2- don’t stand quietly nor alone. We must stand for God against the world and use our voices so others who are deaf may hear the Truth. This is a call to martyrdom. A witness to God’s Mercy. “Let him who has ears hear” Luke 14:35
“Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” Matthew 28:19–20
