What hurts the most is that my words have been taken to mean something that they clearly state that they are not.
I am not blameless, nor is anyone else. But for the Grace of God...
I want to remind everyone of something from my first major post about the HFC situation. I wrote the following as my concluding thought:
In closing, remember that our jobs in all of this is to be good members of the Church Militant. That means we should adhere to the 3 Eminent Good Works of PRAYER, FASTING and ALMSGIVING. Do not give way to rumor mongering, hearsay, or "stories." There will be much that is said in the following days about this, and the best we can do, is all that we can... and that is to live our lives as good Catholics, with all that it entails.I can't say it any other way... Everything I TRULY believe and mean is said in those words. Have I said things that may have stirred emotions or feelings? I don't know, that wasn't my intention and I said so. Maybe people didn't read it? Either way... I have been accused of being divisive, while the whole time I have preached for unity... so clearly in the realm of Ora et Labora I am somehow messing up the "works" portion.
For that reason I am adding HFC & the BISHOP to the list of intentions we have for a Rosary and Dinner that we are having at our place tonight. I ask all of my Kenai Readers, to join me. Amongst our petitions will be the safe and successful surgery of a parishioner who is in the lower 48 for surgery, tomorrow. As well, we will be praying for Sister Claudia, and her situation that I mentioned yesterday.
All are welcome at our Dinner and Rosary tonight, and if you are in the area, please contact me for more details.
