Words from Jesus Himself, "Go thy way, thy son lives." 🤗️
⬆️
The words of our Lord Jesus Himself 🧔♀️️ "Unless you see signs and wonders, you do not believe," 😓️ this apply to those Catholics who judge that the supernatural revelation of our religion who lacks a solid foundation and thus an intelligent and modern man cannot give credence to revealed truths. "Thy days are evil." Numberless sins are, committed daily on earth, cry to heaven for help. Let us appease our God by leading a good Christian life. The Holy Sacraments are the medicine to "root out all vices from our hearts." 🤫️
Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Mass of, Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost. Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics; Lesson from Holy Gospel: John 4, 46-53. At that time there was a certain ruler whose son was sick at Capharnaum. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him, and prayed Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not." The ruler saith to him, "Lord, come down before my son dies." Jesus saith to him, "Go thy way, thy son liveth." The man believed the words which Jesus said to him, and went his way. And as he was going down, his servants met him and they brought word, saying that his son lived. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, "Thy son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole house. 🤗️
Explanation: God permitted the son of the ruler to fall sick, that he, being thereby led to seek assistance from Christ, might obtain faith and salvation. In like manner, in order to convert sinners, He often permits manifold evils and misfortunes to come upon them, either in their own persons, or in their children, their goods. If God sends upon us failure of crops, inundation, hail, famine, war, sickness, death of those we love, He thereby designs nothing else than to move us at least to abandon sin and to turn to Him. God, indeed, sometimes sends afflictions upon the pious and innocent, or allows them to be vexed and tormented by wicked men, but He does this only to try their patience and love for Him, to detach them from the world, to set them on their guard against sin, and to give them opportunity for gaining the greatest merits, for “to them that love God, all things work together unto good” (Rom. viii. 28). Such are the designs of God in regard to Job, Tobias, and others, and how profitable to them were these trials from God! But can we compare ourselves with these pious men when, instead of turning our trials to advantage by patience, we rather consider as our enemies those whom God makes use of to sanctify us? 🤔️
How much good may not the example of a father of a family accomplish! Hardly had this ruler received the faith, when his whole household was converted and believed in Jesus Christ. Thus fathers and mothers of families, by their good example, their piety, their zeal in prayer, their frequent receiving of the holy sacraments, by their meekness, their moderation, their modesty, may do incalculable good to their dependents and the inmates of their houses. Would that they might reflect on this! “For if they have no care for their own, and especially those of their own house, they have denied the faith and are worse than the infidels”. (1. Tim. v. 8)
Consolation in Sickness:
To console ourselves in sickness, let us bethink ourselves that God has sent us sickness for the good of our souls; that we may thereby attain a knowledge of our sins, and make satisfaction for them or, if we suffer innocently, we may exercise ourselves in patience, charity, humility, and such like virtues, and so to increase our merits. When ill, let us employ a competent physician and use the remedies he may prescribe. But before all else, let us betake ourselves to God, give ourselves up unreservedly to His will, pray Him to enlighten the physician, and bless the means employed for our recovery, and subdue our inclinations if the prescription of the physician does violence to our former habits. For how otherwise should medicine have its proper effect?
