A society in Infamy and Spiritual Stigmata lacks Wisdom, profession of Faith, and Communal well-being, but there’s Rising Hope. An article about “‘Doing Good’ in today’s Wall Street Journal gaveled Government-Aid in favor of ‘Social Enterprise’ as a way to aid marginalized people.”[1] Speaking for Jesus and a Hallowed Spirit one might echo; Salvation is at hand.
Lord knows how to negotiate Shame, Seclusion and Sinfulness through Sober Vocations; He came to Earth to restore Faith and Heal wounded souls. Living upright in an Immoral Society is dreadful; so God is negotiating an Out for both the Affluent and Unfortunate; help one another or must Bust!
“I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing! There is a baptism with which I must be baptized, and how great is my anguish until it is accomplished. Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three; a father will be divided against his son and a son against his father, a mother against her daughter and a daughter against her mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:49-53 NABRE)
Heightened spirits are roaming the earth looking to make Peace and restore Faith. Making amends is not always easy, but doing right by your neighbor is Rewarding. Can you convey Hope, Truth, and Selflessness to a weary soul? Then come be a partner in Faith, Jesus controls Good Things to come.
