Running Away

These are the times of despair in which we live. From abortion to skulls, vampires to demons, war and famine, death is all around us. So it is no wonder that so many people are falling away from the Church. In Fatima, Our Lady showed the children Hell and told them that poor souls are falling into hell like snow flakes.
I don't know where you live but I have seen lots of snow.

It seems like people are running away from God. Due to pride, people refuse to submit to the will of God and go their own way or do their own thing. And all I can see when this happens is the scene at the death of Our Lord when His mother is holding him and with tears running down her face, stares at us with a broken heart. Jesus took all of what was given to Him for us, and we just choose to run from Him.

We let Him down when we choose our way instead of His. We also let down our loved ones who may have raised us. We refuse to admit that we might just be wrong.

Why run from truth as Judas did. Embrace truth and it's suffering as well. The rewards may not be many here on earth. But like Our Lady promised Bernadette, "I can not promise you happiness in this life, but in Heaven".

So make a home run and run back home to God.
