Dear friends, today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, of which St. Peter declared:
"be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, even by Him this man standeth before you whole. This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner: neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved".
We are NOT saved by mere men: Moses, Mohammed, or Buddah. Nor by modern "messiahs" such as Klaus Schwab and his "great reset" and vaccines. Nor are we saved by following a false messianic ideology, each designed by Lucifer to lead men away from Jesus Christ: be it liberalism, Freemasonry, socialism, Zionism, communism, or democratism. And be not deceived: each of these ideologies (really false "religions" worshiping an idol) are of Satan. EVERY SINGLE one: without exception.
Modern man may think he is saved by being "decent", but he is in for a terrible shock before Almighty God. God expects much more than not cheating on your wife, keeping your lawn mowed, or playing a good game of golf on a Sunday morning. He gives every man enough graces to learn and to love Him, to learn of His Son Jesus Christ who came in the Flesh. To learn of Christ's Church.
Jesus loves each man individually and died a terrible death on the Cross to offer each and every man the possibility of Salvation. A man may yet be saved by the Blood of Jesus if he be in invincible ignorance. A Mohammedan may be saved (in spite of, and not because of his following the errors and deceptions of the Quran), a Jew may be saved (in spite of, and not because of his following the lies and blasphemies of the Talmud and Kabbalah), and so on. But how many men are truly living in invincible ignorance? Perhaps some of these men may yet be saved, for never has there been such a deluge of lies and deception. But that remains a secret of God. Our duty is plain: we must live and proclaim Jesus Christ to all men.
Lest Catholics think too smugly, we must fearfully realize that to whom much is given, much is expected. Are we living holy lives? Or do we only give Our Lord Jesus Christ lip service at Mass? Are we good examples for Mohommedans, Jews, and even the completely godless? Are we an example for apostate Catholics to return to the Faith? What are we doing to draw separated brethren into Christ's One, Mystical Body?
Let us today call upon the Most Holy Name of Jesus. Let us repent of our sins and convert. Let us pray for poor sinners, especially those who have turned from the Light to darkness, and also for those who have yet to come to the Light and believe in Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life. For NO ONE comes to the Father, but by Jesus, and His Most Holy Name.
A Blessed Feast Day to you All!

We believe in a good argument. That means NO ad hominem attacks. This also includes Pope Francis. Further, referring to him by any other name, may or may not indicate a schismatic attitude, and given the confusion in the Church your comment will NOT be published. Comments are those of the commentators and not those of this blog. You may use a pseudonym... we do... Behave like a guest in our living room and you will be fine.
