‘Rejoicing’ in the Name of ...
When attempting something as controversial as the Great Spiritual Battle, we knew there would be those who would attack us for our stand in defense of Mary.
In an e-mail against our web site, we received notice that we were in danger of hellfire because of our stand.
Interestingly, we were included in — of which we are totally unworthy — the likes of St. Padre Pio, St. Clair, St. Blasé, the early Church fathers, the pope, etc., etc.
We do not belong in this distinguished company.
We are grateful that the person who sent this diatribe would even compare what we are doing with any of these great Saints. We know better.
At first thought, we didn’t realize what our reaction should be.
Now we do.
WE ARE REJOICING for, even though we are unworthy, we are being accused for the sake of Mary!
“So they departed … rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer disgrace for the Name of Jesus” Acts of the Apostles 5:41.
This should really drive the protest-ants nuts. To compare suffering for the Name of Mary with suffering for the Name of Jesus!
But what greater gift could God give us than to suffer for His Namesake and/or His Mother’s!
We thank this protest-ant group for their remarks.
We can only, in return, beg, plead and implore God to turn you from your ways and, instead, bring you under the fold of His Mother’s Mantle that you might, some day, receive the blessing of suffering and being accused (or as you did with us, accursed) for Mary’s sake. Better to be accursed for Her sake now than accursed for Eternity!
Thank you, God; and may we, with this web site continue to stir the pot!
And may You, Lord, in Your Infinite Wisdom, make those who reject and condemn Mary and Her Queenship rethink their untenable positions so that they may, after repenting, enjoy, with the rest of your unworthy slaves, the peace and joy of Your Kingdom, where You Reign with Your Mother, for ever and ever!
