Blessed & Bruised

Wednesday, May 31, 2023

Christianity is frowned on and Catholicism is mocked.

What's new?

Christians and Catholics have been persecuted for centuries.

And we will continue to face persecution.

Yet, we are indeed under attack.

Satan is celebrating each and every blow.

He is rejoicing over Target and the Dodgers.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12

When insulted

Blessed are you

When facing persecution

Blessed are you

When falsely spoken against

Blessed are you

Evil will flee

Rejoice

In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!” John 16:33

"Let Christians never break the bruised reed or quench the burning wick (Is 42:3). That reed is perhaps the suffering of a brother or sister; and the humble wick extinguished by our icy breath may be some noble spirit we could have restored and lifted up. Let us be attentive; nothing so quickly bruised. Let all our words and deeds be full of life, penetrating other spirits, communicating light and strength, and so reveal God to them."
