Text Box: THE MOST ILLOGICAL OF THE ILLOGICAL Christ in the Sacred Eucharist is the banquet to which we are all invited and of which we are invited to partake as food for our essence. If we are faithful to God the Blessed Trinity that sacred food will sustain us to eternal life with God. We are invited to become one with Christ as the Father is one with Jesus and Jesus one with the Father. This is a concept which can be explored for all eternity without ever completing the exploration. And each aspect of that exploration can also be explored for all eternity without exhausting the exploration of that individual aspect. Exploring that concept is more intriguing than exploring any mystery of physics, science, philosophy, or any other unknown. Because it is impossible for us to understand or comprehend more than just an insignificant portion of the good which God desires for us we must each trust God sufficiently to attempt to become what God wishes us each to be so that we may each receive the good which God desires for us. Those who do not trust God apparently do not have the virtue of Faith, for if they had the virtue of Faith it would follow that they would trust God. They may believe in God, and their concept of God may even be accurate, but without the virtue of Faith, belief apparently is not sufficient to induce trust in God. There is another element or factor which those who have Faith can not comprehend. It is accurate knowledge of God which does not lead one to desire union with God but rather desire to be separated from God for all eternity. The reasons for this are beyond the ability of those who have accepted the gift of the virtue of Faith to comprehend. In the minds of those who have Faith, in a certain sense the motivations of

Text Box: those who have an accurate concept of God yet reject God, are more unknowable and more incomprehensible than is God. For those with Faith, real, true Faith, rejection of God is illogical, foolish, stupid, and everything negative in that scheme of expression. In simple language those with the virtue of Faith refer to such behavior as bizarre and to such people as weird, for why would anyone prefer an eternity of total torment and unhappiness over an eternity of total joy and happiness? It simply does not make sense. God actually invites us to the most joyful existence possible and His requirements for our accepting that joyful existence really are nominal. We often fail in our attempts to meet those requirements, but God has taken our weaknesses into account and given us remedies to our weaknesses. For those of us who seek what God has offered, and continue attempting to meet the qualifications He has set, the fact that many people reject the offer, or even worse, simply do not care, is simply beyond our ability to comprehend. A good occasional prayer is: that rejecting God or not caring about God will always be something you simply can not comprehend. Ref: 1 John 3:13-18; Luke 14:16-24

Text Box: In divine works which are external to God the Three Persons of the Blessed Trinity of necessity have an equal part. This does NOT mean each does one-third of the work. In part this is because their operation is indivisible. But Sacred Scripture appropriates certain activities to certain Persons of the Blessed Trinity. The Incarnation was appropriated by Scripture to the Holy Spirit. Works of life, power, miracles, and teaching the truth after the Resurrection, are generally and usually appropriated to the Holy Spirit. These are also works of the Father and of the Son as well as of the Holy Spirit because they are works of God. But the Holy Spirit generally is considered the source of such things in a special manner or way which we are unable to express. It is important to realize this because in realizing it one has a more clear appreciation that when humans seek to exercise divine power the exercise of such power is restricted to situations of God’s choosing and not at the will of the human. It becomes very clear that the human is the agent of the Divine. It also becomes very clear that the Holy Ghost was the operative of creation, of life including and especially human life, and that He continues to be the Guide, Protector, and Teacher of humankind, as well as the Maintainer of every human life and existence. Yes, the Operative of creation, without in any manner diminishing the Father as Creator. We stop here because this is enough for the brain cells to “mangle at one time”. Ref: James 1:17-21; John 16:5-14 +

Text Box: SOME “WORKS” OF GOD “APPROPRIATED” TO THE HOLY GHOST “. . . if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you . . .” This statement from Christ, combined with the fact that the Incarnation was accomplished by the Holy Spirit’s overshadowing of the Blessed Ever Virgin Mary, and numerous other activities of the Holy Ghost, and numerous passages of Sacred Scripture, give us a slight insight to aspects of the “internal” operations of God, and aspects of relationships of the Persons of the Blessed Trinity.
