“For Judah rejoiced in the officiating priests and Levites. It was they who performed the liturgy of their God and the duties of purification – and the cantors and gatekeepers too – in accordance with the ordinances of David and his son, Solomon. For from ancient times, from the days of David and Asaph, there had been guilds of cantors and canticles of praise and thanksgiving to God” (Neh 12:44-46).

Purification – The ascent
Purification in the desert is an ascent, for all our untoward attachments are removed so the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – can come and live in us. If we are not thoroughly purified this way, how can we open ourselves up sufficiently for Them to come and live in us with power and might? Perfect light and life cannot dwell where darkness resides. This is why we are presently being Continue reading “Purification – The ascent”
What will happen – Thought for the day
“The lowly will inherit the earth and delight in abounding peace” (Response from Afternoon Prayer, The Divine Office, Weds. of Wk 23).
The Era of the 8th Day – 19
“I will dwell in them and will walk in them and I shall be their God” (2 Cor 6:16). Beatitude does not consist “in the fact that something is known about God, but in having Him within oneself” (Gregory of Nyssa, Homily on the Beatitudes, PG 44).
After the Great Chastisement – 3 – Living in the Era of Peace
“The wolf will live with the sheep and the leopard will lie down with the kid; and a calf, a lion whelp and a fatling will walk together, and a young child will lead them. A cow and bear will graze and their young will lie down together; and a lion, like cattle, will eat hay. A suckling will play by a viper’s hole and a newly weaned child will stretch his hand toward an adder’s lair. They will neither injure Continue reading “After the Great Chastisement – 3 – Living in the Era of Peace”
We will be restored mightily
Presently, we are going through purification which is only going to intensify, until everything that is not of God is either restored or removed, so that the Reign, the Kingdom, of Our Father – the era of His Divine Heart and Will (the era of peace and holiness, the beginning of the eighth day) – can commence on earth. In the process, many of us will lose both people and things in every Continue reading “We will be restored mightily”
The true meaning of living in the Era of Peace
How shall we be living in the era of peace, after the great Chastisement has been fulfilled? Unlike for many, if not most, of us living presently in the era of the flesh, during the era of peace we will be living thoroughly spiritualized lives – lives we cannot even begin to conceive of, right now – because the said era will, in effect, be the era of the Reign of the Father, in the intensely Eucharistic Continue reading “The true meaning of living in the Era of Peace”
After the Great Chastisement – 2 – The era of peace, the final uprising and the Last Judgment
“And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he should no more Continue reading “After the Great Chastisement – 2 – The era of peace, the final uprising and the Last Judgment”
