Catholic during the Great Apostasy

I see blood streaming down the face of Christ,
the crown of thorns wounding His Most Holy Countenance.
I see people turning their eyes away.
It’s too cruel, it hurts our feelings.

But where are your feelings when the world murders millions of innocent unborn and calls it abortion?
Where are your feelings when the world kills your parents and calls it euthanasia?
Where are your feelings when the world stays silent as Christians are killed, tortured, and driven from their homes, calling it the language of love?
Where are your feelings when the world destroys your children with its sick ideologies?

They are nowhere to be seen.

You show emotion only in defense of the lies the world feeds you, preparing you like sheep for the slaughter.
When faced with the Truth, you turn away – is it too cruel, or perhaps too simple for such enlightened people as you have become?

Our Lord Jesus Christ was rejected by the world, beaten to death.
Did He deny His teaching?
No!

But you – for thirty pieces of silver in the form of internet likes – spit in the face of your Savior, laugh, and mock.
Gallows on the edge of hell await, and not one of you will escape them!

I saw in the fires of hell a shepherd who misled for twenty-five years…
No, I didn’t see a beautiful smile, only a face twisted with rage.

You justify Judas, because his noose has become the symbol of a new religion.

I see a world soaked in human blood – both innocent and soldier’s. The blood rises, all are drowning, yet no one sees, because no one said it online.

People are thrown into prisons, and you scream in the media, outraged, about the lack of free speech.
But if you lifted your eyes from your phone, you’d know that your close neighbor is being taken away right now.
Then again, even if you saw it, you’d lower your head and go back to… your phone.

Your life is already ending.
The world, as if imitating death, severs your heads, takes your reason, and laughs at your stupidity.

Only a few, at the foot of Christ’s cross, wait with hope that does not fade from their souls.

I see the darkness of minds lurking in the shadows, ignorance flooding everything, and ever more places where not even a spark of hope remains.
Only little lights flicker in the swamps – lights of lies, luring and dragging so many of us down.

Always, sooner or later, evil reveals its true face, but people shut their eyes, cover their ears, and proudly march to the gates of hell in the glow of a false rainbow.

What I see no longer matters.
The call for spiritual escape has become an obligation for each of us…
But who will listen? Who will not turn around like Lot’s wife?

Whoever stops looking for hope in people, will find it in God!

This is the truth that concerns each and every one of us.
