Pride Month

In the spirit of the Pride Month of June, let me explain what I am proud of. I am proud of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is the Lord of all creation, in whom "all power in heaven and earth" resides. His word commands everything from the cosmos to the smallest matters of the earth. His judgements are absolute and no one will ever question His authority to His face. His commandments to every human being ever born are the Law and they have one universal purpose, to allow His infinite Love to be manifested in us.

Jesus Christ, the second person of the Most Holy Trinity, God Himself, came into the world not riding a lightning bolt and thundering His power so to subdue us with fear and terror induced obedience. He came into the world in the exact same manner as we all did, through the womb of His mother. He taught with love and patience, and most mysteriously of all, He allowed Himself to be tortured and killed in payment for our sins because He loves us, and because He is the only one who could possibly do it. Finally, He returned into Heaven to wait for us to freely return the love by obedience. What a gracious and incredible Lord and God! No earthly authority has treated me in such a way.

That is why I am so proud to follow Him and to obey Him. We should all follow His commands as we would find this world to be much more peaceful and harmonious  if we all did.

That is why marriage is once and cannot be broken.

Intimate relations can only be within a marriage and open to creation. Anything else is wrong and will be punished into eternity.

For those of us who have fallen into such errors, our Lord's infinite Mercy is for everyone of us who confesses our sins to Him with true contrition along with a firm and sincere intention to never repeat the sins. That is a true Lord of power and love. That is Jesus Christ.

I am proud to call myself a Christian and following Him is my poor but earnest way to honor Him. May God bless us in our efforts to find Him and to love Him.
