Into the Deep #58: The Spiritual Combat - Ch. 55-58
Shiny little globe. The Feast of Corpus Christi (for you guys, at least). Coveting liturgy. Mmmmmmm… iconostasis. God is the perfect good. Spiritual Communion. Recalling God’s love for us. God can only create that which he wants.
Untainted Love. God is not a vending machine. Our love, properly understood, is not for US, but for who we love, especially when we love God. Under the accidents of bread and wine, The Lord gives himself completely to us. The essence of sin is separation from God. Nothin’ causes Him to do nothin’ - so there. The “Grampafication” of God. I promise Just get me out of this trap, and I promise… I’ll never try to get the cheese again! The PRIMARY prayer we prays should be: THY WILL BE DONE. A harsh lesson in “don’t do that.” Jesus didn’t heal everyone - but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t love everyone. Spiritual Communion. I’ll pray… sometime, I’m sure I will. Really. So it’s a cliche, but the attitude of gratitude is still the correct. You can’t have a divided heart. The offering of Christ to His Church and from the Church to Christ in the Eucharist. Transforming union. The end is near. Almost.
