There Were Snakes Even in the Garden of Eden

Today readings have to do with things granted to men through the glory of Jesus Christ. The two men whom could not see were astounded by the fact that the Lord was walking and talking to them. The beggar was made whole by the power of Jesus Christ through His Apostles.

Jesus has blessed this world with His divine might and made us all whole again. Why do we not join Him in Glory and speak His words more clearly? Are we blinded by the decadence of the days? Are we not the chosen people whom have found the light of the world, Jesus Christ?

I like to remember that all things are possible through the intervention of Jesus Christ, but also I need to keep in mind that it is God's Divine will that Jesus is carrying out, not my mortal wants and desires. God has a plan.

Sometimes I get scared in this world when I see all the suffering, all the pain. I have to remember at those times that God's plan can be interrupted by the Devil's Games. God's plan isn't absolute, He leaves room for temptation and sin. This is important to know because God expects us to glorify His name through our righteous deeds. God expects fidelity to Him and His divine might, but God makes it possible for us to reject Him.

Why would he allow us to reject Him? It is simple, God knows that a man who comes to Him through free will is more devote, more deserving of His majesty. God wants each and everyone of His children to come to Him, but he knows that if we choose not to that it is only us who will be hurt. Faith in the Lord is important and obedience to His will, but it is not impossible to reject Him.

Many people of the world reject the teachings of Jesus Christ. The teachings of Love and Faith. Some openly choose to dismiss the truth and some know the truth and feel unworthy. Some men choose to show to the world that they believe in Christ and behind closed doors allow the devil to tempt them. It is important to remember when we find these individuals that there were Snakes even in the Garden of Eden.

There are trying times for the Church, times when all seems like it can be lost. There are men certainly not of God, but deceivers in our midst, corrupt men whom hurt the innocent and do some with the garbs of god on. It is important to remember that the truth is in Jesus and we are seeking that truth.

The Archdiocese of Boston has seen these trying times and are trying to recover. It is important to remember there are men with the Light of God, still in the midst of the church. We must pay attention to the innocent and watch out for deceivers in our midst, but we also must trust in the divine will of God and His servants, whom though some are just men, some certainly have greatness in them.

I want to personally thank Cardinal Sean O'Malley-Archbishop of Boston, for his daily struggles to heal a hurting church. Cardinal Sean is a man whom greatness has been thrust upon and is doing a fantastic job. The sins of the Archdiocese aren't easy to heal, but with men of God like Cardinal Sean at the helm and through Jesus Christ we may yet see the days when the churches are over flowing again and that will be a great day for God.
