At Last we have a Reason to Worship Christ: Our Souls that were created to Love him!

At Last we have a Reason to Worship Christ: Our Souls that were created to Love him!

It isn’t everyone who finds forgiveness that makes all the difference, it is the cleansing through the Blood of Christ that will always show purity to a longing soul.  When we were young and just beginning to hear about Christ our sense of wonderment began to excite our desire of searching for this person who is more than us.  We found that the secrets of a hidden entity were within us from before our birth and inside of a quiet mind the sound of silence was already at work.

Do we know what it is that tells the searching mind to seek and hold dear a thought of unknown peace that must be sought if any of us will find what the Spirit of God has for each of us?  We will find that the faith we hear about takes root in our human quest and suddenly appears before us with an insatiable need to hold onto this silent but explosive entity that God has placed before us before we were born.

What moves us to believe is not the fact that revealed truths appear as true and intelligible in the light of our natural reason:  we believe "because of the authority of God himself who reveals them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.”  So “that the submission of our faith might nevertheless be in accordance with reason, God willed that external proofs of his Revelation should be joined to the internal helps of the Holy Spirit.”  Thus the miracles of Christ and the saints, prophecies, the Church's growth and holiness, and her fruitfulness and stability “are the most certain signs of divine Revelation, adapted to the intelligence of all;” they are motives of credibility” which show that the assent of fath is “by no means a blind impulse of the mind.”  (CCC 156).

2026 and some years before we as a God-fearing people have seen the most severe attributes of evil-minded people performing atrocities upon their loved ones or in many cases upon innocent children many not even to an understanding of what sin means ahead of them.  In case we forget the attacks upon schools and the murder of children like; Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut, Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, and many more in the minds of shocked parents and readers of their news events.  Then besides all those tragic occurrences we have mothers who for many unknown reasons take the lives of their own children.  Andrea Pia Yates from some years ago drowning her three children in the car for a chance of something she should not have been connected with.  Just recently the trial of Lindsay Clancey who murdered her three children over reasons we may never know.  The list goes on.

Our question was Christ aware of these and many more when he walked the Via Dolorosa to show how much he loved us then and now in 2026?  Of course he knew; that is why he assumed humanity through his Incarnation to die for even the worst of humanity since he created each one of us; not because of our holiness but in spite of need for mercy.  Remember he didn’t shed his blood for just simple sinfulness of you and me, but the possible worst evil we might have committed

These are the reasons we must worship Christ and behold his everlasting mercy for the worst of our sins.
