The fact that God has not obliterated us since the Flood, lends support to the theory that He has a superb sense of humor.

In a few hours we will celebrate God’s Divine Mercy as He asked through St. Faustina. He wishes us to partake in rescuing souls even though He doesn’t need us in this work. Another theory is that He won’t drop the curtain on this play until His barns are full. Many of the dramatic scenes are filled with hate, murder and cruelty that pains the merciful Fathers heart. The stubbornness of his children not to forgive each other is another pain in His heart.
The mercy we have been granted in these times of unbridled sins and the promotion thereof, brings my relationship with Mary Ever Virgin ever stronger. She is holding back the Divine Justice which must come to earth. Mercy before Justice.
One last item to note.
You can never say to St. Peter that the fishing waa no good were you lived. Just look around at your neighbors. How abundant the souls that need your help.
Drop those nets dear brothers in Christ. Sisters too.
The fact that the US has not been obliterated off of the face of the map after murdering 60+ million babies in their mothers’ wombs is downright a wonder to me. I know our nation is under judgement now—that we have al not been completely destroyed is due to God’s mercy. If I were in God’s place, I would have destroyed us before now.
If I were in God’s place, I would have destroyed us before now.
A good thing for us CT that you are not God. I would say the same thing about myself and about any human.
“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means clearing the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
~ Exodus 34:6-7
I’m fearful we’ve used our thousand generations up
God’s sense of humor: I prayed that my lost lamb would find a good Christian man, didn’t even push for Catholic. God sent her a good man (her words) named Christian, who is an atheist. I know my first question when I meet my Lord.
Pray you can answer the questions that He puts to you perhaps including what you did to help this Christian live up to his name. When my particular judgment comes I will have no questions of God but only tears of repentance. (well, if there is time I might also tell Him the one about the Dominican, the Jesuit and the Franciscan.)
