And will, I know, be even more beautifully clearer with your "firming up." God love you, nothing. <br /><br />I loved reading this from you <i>"Words are certainly gifts He gives us to express, and what He uses to teach us. We are blessed with words."</i> I have discerned that and believe it and have written about it as well. About the gift and function of words, and about the sometimes agoniziing hard-won consent to spend time writing. I'll email you with the url for it in case you're interested in reading it. <br /><br />God bless your day as well!aspiring...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825316824097996382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840237562316133857.post-49675105688774941822010-11-12T08:23:46.516-08:002010-11-12T08:23:46.516-08:00Good morning, sweet aspiring!

I have been firming this post, as it seemed to need the unity with the Church expressed more than before, as well as the perhaps, it seems, error, in seeking Him in severe externals--at least when these externals are not what the Church has told us to do during Mass...at least now, in our present time. Words are certainly gifts He gives us to express, and what He uses to teach us. We are blessed with words.

The issue was a group who desires holiness in former ways of dress, life style, and in liturgy. Of course, the Church allows Communion in hand or mouth, a handshake plus "peace be with you" at sign of peace. So to not allow it in a parish may be limiting or excluding of what the Church intends, which is unity. To go against what Mother Church currently suggests, can create an awkwardness, at least and disunity at most, although with the best of intentions from those who preferred other dress, penances, and liturgical norms of other time periods.<br /><br />As for Jesus' truth, He explains that in the next batch of verses I hope to post. Truth is right in there, too, in His love. It can't be otherwise, for He is the Truth, the Way, and the Life.<br /><br />God bless you! I've been praying, remaining in His love, for you this afternoon while folding and stapling newspaper rose collars. All the "collars" are in place around the roses and ready to have mulch put down in.

I'm happy to have read it and perhaps better for having read it :) . <br /><br />I particularly appreciate "we know to respect the Church, all the same" and "Externals can augment the inner conversions unless they become the focus." Speaking generally, I'm of the mind that the formalities in Church are good and necessary and beautiful. They encourage and facilitate due reverence. As for legalities? They seem to stem from, as well as proliferate, the worst qualities of mankind. I understand that Church has to protect her traditions, the constancy of which has kept her intact through the ages. But I disagree with judgement and punitivie action which is not the better way - by far. Legalists make me think of the punitive mindsets Jesus combatted in His day. I think I've gotten off topic here? Sorry :) .<br /><br />I can see through you how his will is in his love and his love is in his will. How would you incorporate his truth to these ideas?<br /><br />While I'm here I'd like to add that your comments yesterday were warming to my spirit and helpful to my mind. I elaborated a little there but wanted to mention it here, too.<br /><br />God bless you, nothing, now and always, aspiring...aspiring...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825316824097996382noreply@blogger.com
