I put this in Inspirational stories thread because this is the beginning of a story we are going to tell our children and our grand children. IT STARTS WITH POLAND! (of course it does! ) http://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/video-of-polish-priests-speech-slamming-islam-goes-viral
Crusades...i am seeing many countries with these types of demonstrations. Not all Christians but the drums of war is growing.
fallen saint, What I appreciate about this Polish priest is the focus on Jesus Christ! And the only weapons he preached are found in Eph 6: 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints...
I saw the polish priests video ...but all this still makes me uncomfortable. I still feel that it's NOT the road to take. It borders on hate speech. Poland is showing signs of its own neo nazi kinda propaganda. I seen videos of thousands of polish people chanting fu-- Muslims and Allah. I think this a BIG TRAP of te EMENY .....to sow seeds of hatred and to STOP people from reaching out in love to the refugees. If everyone reached out to show love and charity.....WOULD THIS NOT CAUSE CONVERSIONS and has the scripture says heap coals of fire even on our enemies? . OUR HOLY FATHER LEADS US and is the VOICE WE SHOULD BE LISTENING TO INSTEAD OF SOME POLISH PRIEST stirring the pot. Pope FRANCIS TELLS US TO HELP THEM. MARY WOULD HELP THEM!! JESUS WOULD HELP THEM. Would Jesus stand on a podium like this yelling and stirring the pot? NO!!! HE WOULD WALK RIGHT INTO THE REFUGEE CAMPS and show love and help them. It's ONLY THROUGH LOVE THAT WE BRING ALL TO CHRIST! ISnt that what's MOST IMPORTANT? CONVERSIONS?????
Our LADY In MEDJUGORJE has been appearing for so long BEGGING us to LOVE and to tell us all about PEACE. MIR MIR MIR!! In Medjugorje there are Muslims and Christians living side by side in PEACE. Both endured communism together. The devil tried to sow seeds of hatred in that region between Muslims and Christians in te 90's but it did not PREVAIL for too long and PEACE prevailed. DID NOT Our Lady then beg the people to pray for peace and tell us to LOVE ALL? To pray for PEACE. To PRAY so that the LOVE of God would fill our hearts. If we are to live in PEACE ....we MUST SOW SEEDS OF PEACE .....no matter the cost. DO catholic missionaries go to foreign lands ....many of them hostile territories.....do they go to sow seeds of intolerance and hatred? No! They go as MISSIONARIES OF LOVE to SERVE and THROUGH that CHARITY they sow seeds of CONVERSIONS. They bring the gospel of CHRIST to the people in ACTS OF CHARITY AND LOVE. WARS AND DIVISIONS ARE CREATED BY THE ENEMY AND SOWN in the hearts of men who are LIVING IN FEAR because LOVE HAS NOT BEEN PERFECTED IN THEM. I found out what MEDJUGORJE means and it's VERY INTERESTING. Medjugorje is interpreted as the place between two hills, a fruitful valley. It could also be viewed as a meeting place, a coming together between Christians and Muslims as Bosnia and Herzegovina is tradionally recognised as the line between East and West.
