Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us And St. Lucy

 Stand In The Gap With Us And St. Lucy 12/13/2023 “And I say to you, you are Kepa, and upon this Kepa I will build my church and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it”. Jesus established His Church with men who would take the gospel to all nations. For nearly 2,000 years, men and women of all nations, tribes, tongues have witnesses the miracles of His Saints. At times like today, there is great confusion and there is much suffering in the world. The Catholic Church is like a great visible light that continues to sail through the mix of all hopelessness. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 states, “Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this momentary light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal.” When I was coming home to my Catholic Faith in the late 1970′s, one of the early Catholic Martyrs that had such a great impact on me was St. Lucy. The college environment was in full transition, the culture was beginning to push the progressive movement. For the progressive movement to catch a foothold in the United States, much of our innocence had to be compromised.
