And Elias, the prophet, stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch (Ecclesiasticus. 48.1, DRV)

Take heed lest ye fall

+
J.M.J.

Ninth Sunday after Pentecost

Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand,
let him take heed lest he fall
(1 Cor. 10.12).



Destruction of the Great Temple and slaughter of "perfidious Jews" (traditional Church Liturgy for Good Friday) in Jerusalem in chastisement for the Synagogue's mocking refusal of the saving design by the Eternal Word (Jn. 1.1) "made flesh" (Jn. 1.1): that "every knee, of those who are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, should bow [before] Him Whom they pierced" (Phil. 2.10; Jn. 19.37).

Pride "goes before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall" (Prov. 16.18); its beginning is "to fall off from God [cf., "Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary"]: because his heart is departed from Him Who made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he who holds it shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end" (Ecclus. 10.14-15). How pride blinds us to God's hour of merciful visitation - "The Time of God's Visitation"

Salvation is in the "Blood of the Lamb"

Apocalypse XIV now unfolding (cf., our posts "The Wine of the Wrath of God" and "After Pope Benedict XVI, the 'Last' Roman Pontiff?"). The divine chastisement of world-wide conflagration (Lk. 17.29-30, cf., our post "Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, and the Annihilation of Many Nations") to annihilate the 'super-power' and cities and nations drunk with the wine of its immodesty, impurity, fornication, homosexuality, and blasphemies (Apoc. 14.8) is imminent - the close of our end-times period (distinct from the consummation of the world, Mt. 28.20).

They... have made them white in the Blood of the Lamb (Apoc. 7.14) ... All things... are cleansed with Blood: and without shedding of Blood there is no remission (Heb. 9.22).

The Blood of the [Divine] Lamb can be availed of in the traditional Rite of the Sacrament of Penance (cf., our post "On Concealing Sins in Confession") and of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist (the Traditional Latin Mass). Go to our traditional Catholic Mass Centers (links on the left-side bar of this site). Flee to the mountains... (Mt. 24.16).
