Saint Vincent Ferrer Tells How Only a Few Among Thousands Were Saved at God's Judgment Seat. . The following narrative from Saint Vincent Ferrer will show you what you may think about it. He relates that an archdeacon in Lyons gave up his charge and retreated into a desert place to do penance, and that he died the same day and hour as Saint Bernard. After his death, he appeared to his bishop and said to him, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this number, Bernard and myself went up to heaven without delay, three went to purgatory, and all the others fell into Hell." Our chronicles relate an even more dreadful happening. One of our brothers, well-known for his doctrine and holiness, was preaching in Germany. He represented the ugliness of the sin of impurity so forceful that a woman fell dead of sorrow in front of everyone. Then, coming back to life, she said, "When I was presented before the Tribunal of God, sixty thousand people arrived at the same time from all parts of the world; out of that number, three were saved by going to Purgatory, and all the rest were damned." O abyss of the judgments of God! Out of thirty thousand, only five were saved! And out of sixty thousand, only three went to heaven! You sinners who are listening to me, in what category will you be numbered?... What do you say?... What do you think?...

The Patristic commentary on John 13:34-35 formatted as the Medieval Glossa Ordinaria.

"For he who scans with bitterness the conduct of others, can never obtain pardon for the sins committed by himself. For God will determine the sentence, not only from the nature of our transgressions, but from the judgment which you have passed upon others". –St. John Chrysostom, Homily 3 On the statues, 16.

Saint James of the Marches in condemning the errors of the Spirituals, inadvertently destroys sedevacantism as well. He argues convincingly that per the promise of Christ in Matt. 16:18, there could never be two successive heretical Popes, and that God wouldn’t allow the Church to be without a Pope in such a way that the majority of faithful Catholics would be deceived into following heresy.

In what sense do humans bear the imprint of the Holy Trinity? "It is said that the creature has a threefold relation to God, as to a threefold cause and this according to the three modes of relations that the Philosopher [Aristotle] posits in Book V of the Metaphysics. (1) In the first mode, the creature relates to God with a relation founded on the “one”, that is, with a relation of similarity, and this insofar as the creature is modeled and relates to God as to its exemplary cause. (2) In the second mode, that is, in relation to power, the creature relates to God as the product to the producer. (3) In the third mode, that is, in the relationship of measure, the creature refers to God insofar as it is ordered to Him as to a final cause. [...] We have, therefore, clarified what the imprint in the creature consists of. But in relation to what does this imprint stand, on the part of God? Answer: the creaturely imprint is in relation to the appropriations of the three divine persons. The creature, in fact, through the first relation (that is, of similitude) represents the exemplary art, which is appropriated to the Son. Through the second relation, it represents the power of the producer, which is appropriated to the Father; through the third relation, it represents the goodness of the end, which is appropriated to the Holy Spirit". –Bl. John Duns Scotus, Ordinatio, I, d. 3, pars 2, q. unica

"By me kings reign, and lawgivers establish justice; by me princes govern, and nobles; all the rulers of the earth." Proverbs VIII, 15-16 This week, His Serene Highness Albert II, Prince of Monaco, vetoed a law passed by the Monegasque parliament that would legalize abortion up to the 12th week. Abortion in Monaco remains formally illegal and permitted only in the exceptional cases of rape, life-threatening risk to the mother, and serious fetal malformation. Although the situation in the country and in Europe as a whole is not perfect, and it is very easy for Monegasques to cross the border into France seeking abortions, and despite some personal past events involving Albert II, we cannot fail to thank God that there are still rulers willing to displease the world to preserve God's commandments, the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the human person (woman and baby).

Sts. John Damascene, Theophylact and John Chrysostom on how Christ suffered in our place to atone for our sins

Without prevenient grace we are bound to evil and unable to chose God freely Prevenient grace (from the Latin gratia praeveniens, “grace that comes before”) is the free, unmerited gift of God that heals the wound of original sin, restores the liberty of the will, and enables every human person to freely choose between good and evil. Without it, fallen human nature is inclined only to sin; with it, we are truly free to cooperate with God or to refuse Him. 1. What prevenient grace is It is actual grace that precedes every salutary act. It excites, illuminates, and moves the soul before the will consents. It is universally offered (God “desires all men to be saved” — 1 Tim 2:4). It does not compel; it makes free consent possible. Catechism of the Catholic Church § 2022 “The divine initiative in the work of grace precedes, prepares, and elicits the free response of man.” Council of Trent, Session VI, ch. 5 (Denzinger 1525) “In adults the beginning of justification must be derived from the prevenient grace of God through Jesus Christ, that is, from His call … so that they who by sin were turned away from God, may be disposed … to convert themselves to their own justification by freely assenting to and cooperating with that grace.” 2. Without prevenient grace we are bound to evil Original sin left the will wounded and inclined to self, not annihilated. We retain natural liberty (we can still choose between evils), but supernatural liberty—the power to choose the true good (God)—is lost. St. Augustine, De Gratia et Libero Arbitrio 15, 31 “Without grace men do no good, either by thinking, or by willing and loving, or by acting.” St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae I-II, q. 109, a. 2 “After sin, free will remains, but averted from the true good … Hence man by his natural powers cannot … love God above all things … without healing grace.” 3. Grace heals and elevates the will to freely choose good or to reject it Augustine, Prosper, Fulgentius, Bernard, Thomas, Bellarmine, Alphonsus, John of the Cross, and every council from Orange to Trent thunder in unison: without the prevenient touch of the Holy Spirit the human will is a slave that can only rattle its chains—grace alone breaks the chains and sets it free to love God.” Council of Orange II (A.D. 529), can. 7 (Denzinger 377) “If anyone says that by the force of nature we can … think or choose any good pertaining to eternal life … without the illumination and inspiration of the Holy Spirit … he is deceived by the heretical spirit.” St. Thomas, ST I-II, q. 111, a. 2 “Grace is called prevenient inasmuch as it heals; subsequent inasmuch as the healed soul is strengthened … prevenient inasmuch as we are called, subsequent inasmuch as we are glorified.” St. Thomas, De Veritate q. 14, a. 11, ad 1 “God does not deny grace to one who does what he can, because He first gives the power to do what one can.” St Prosper of Aquitaine (†c. 460), De Vocatione Omnium Gentium I, 7 “No one comes to God by his own free will unless drawn by the Father.” St Fulgentius of Ruspe (†533), De Incarn. et Gratia 31 “Without grace the will is captive; with grace it is free.” St Bernard, De Gratia et Libero Arbitrio 1, 2 “Take away prevenient grace, and there remains no free will to good.” St Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae I-II, q. 109, a. 6 “Man cannot … prepare himself for grace without the help of grace.” St Thomas, ST I-II, q. 113, a. 7 ad 2 “The very first beginning of justification … comes from prevenient grace.” St Robert Bellarmine, De Gratia et Libero Arbitrio I, 11 “Prevenient grace touches the heart first, so that the will may freely consent.” Ludwig Ott, Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma (1955), p. 228 “De fide: Without prevenient grace man cannot perform any salutary act.” Adolphe Tanquerey, Synopsis Theologiae Dogmaticae (24th ed.), vol. II, § 1038 “Prevenient grace is absolutely necessary for the first movement of the will toward the good.” Orange II – Canon 20 “No one does anything good which God does not cause him to do.” (Dz 390) 🔗p2 🔗p3- Scripture #grace

NNN begins tomorrow. Eternity calls to a new beginning and asks us to make the decision. The decision to wake up with a shock from slumber of monotony, a break from the spell of custom and the long row of weary thoughts. Let's DARE to act on the good that lies buried within our heart. If you are ashamed of your own imperfections, then cast your eyes down before God, not man. Let's decide and go forth TO A NEW BEGINNING!!

"Christ did not compare his Kingdom to the Roman Empire, which was founded by Romulus and developed over many centuries into a huge and complex state. He compared his journey to a mustard seed, to leaven, that is, to things that spread through their own inner power. (...) Therefore, Christ's Kingdom does not grow in a cultural way, that is, by constantly recreating itself in the course of history, but in a natural way, like a seed, always acting on the same inner force. The Kingdom of Christ is not different from Christ, just as the Roman Empire was not different from Romulus, Caesar, Augustus, or Julian, who nurtured, matured, and defended it. The Kingdom of Christ is Christ himself. It matures not in the sun of world history, but in the heat of the Holy Spirit. It is continued not by Peter, Paul, Titus, Gregory, or Pius, but by Christ Himself. True, popes and bishops are Christ's representatives on earth. But they are representatives, not new actors; they are conscious and free instruments, not independent creators. The whole religion of Christ is filled with His own presence: filled in its hierarchy, in its sacraments, and in its teaching. Christ teaches, Christ rules, Christ sanctifies. This is precisely where the main difference between the Church and any human creation lies, in which the personal presence of its author is no longer and cannot be present. Every creation expresses its creator only in the form of a sign, only symbolically. In culture, a creation only signifies its creator, but it is not the creator itself. Meanwhile, the Church is the reality of Christ. The Church is not a symbol or figure of Christ, as, say, Noah's ark is a figure of Baptism. The Church is the existence of Christ in history. Therefore, no one can expand this existence without Him. No one can be higher than it, into which it would be taken and immersed. Christ Himself begins, leads, and completes the Church.
