Sacred Tradition is in a sense Sacred Scripture lived in the Church. The Bible grew out of Sacred Tradition as we have it today. Sacred Tradition is the lived faith experience of the Church from its beginning to the present. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ becoming real in the life of the Church; it is the faithful, integral, living, and vigorous handing on of the gospel.
Sacred Tradition with Sacred Scripture form one sacred deposit of the Word of God which is to be committed to by the Church. Yet in this day, the importance of Sacred Tradition is not easily seen by many professing Christ. This must change. For Sacred Tradition is the process which hands on in its full purity God’s Word, God’s Word which was entrusted to the Apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit guides the remnant of God to believe the truth in this hour: That the Faith is a living Faith! Thus, Christ did not come to primarily finish a Holy Book. He came to primarily form a community of believers.
God has been lenient with many of us about much. Do not come against Him as He goes about healing us in all things.
The altars of God with the one and only acceptable sacrifice to God Almighty, that of His only begotten Son, are to be restored in the lives of all God’s children. The Holy Spirit points to Jesus!
God wills to have all of us who are Christians living by the New Covenant in this hour. He wills for us to be united in working for this.
The spirit of the antichrist points away from Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Choose against God in the Holy Sacrifice and you choose against life. You choose death in Satan.
To be sure, God calls us to the true preparing of His coming again. He desires His true healing of His torn apart Christian people.
The Body of His Church as Jesus Christ created it is not merely an invisible brotherhood of men and women united only by bonds of grace. It is a visible society of men and women with authoritive leadership and governance. The Holy Spirit is moving us to be one as Christ prayed. The Holy Spirit will bring us to that true healing if we co-operate with Him.
If this does not come about then a false healing and a distorted view of God’s work in this hour will be witnessed by those in refusal of God. And this false testimony will claim the souls of a great many down to the nether land.
Certain men of God will choose to the very end to come against Sacred Tradition and God. They do not hesitate to state that Sacred Scripture cannot error. Yet they have no trouble at all denying the spiritual guidance of the Holy Spirit as He calls for reconciliation with the priesthood ordained down through the centuries in an unbroken chain from the Apostles and all those who wrote the New Testament.
There must be reconciliation. Without it there cannot be the true healing God calls for. There cannot be the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of Jesus Christ to God by all. There cannot be the partaking of Christ by all in the Holy Eucharist.
Of all things that could possibly take place on earth, the devil hates the possibility of this the most. With all that he is, he opposes it.
He works to have us oppose it with him in this hour. He is very clever in his arguments. But we have the Holy Spirit. Thus, all Christians who join with the devil in his arguments against this which God wills, are traitors to Christ.
How can one with the Spirit of God not know what spirit it is who moves one against Christ in the Holy Sacrifice being restored to all God’s people?
Yet, if a man were to say to all in the world, “ Worship of this kind is idolatry. It is no different to worship God in the so called consecrated bread and wine as in worshiping a stone as God. “, many would follow after him’ For that is how much evil is, not only in the world, but in Christendom. And that is how few there are who want to hear the true voice of God in this hour.
We are a people, a people set aside by God to give due worship to Him with Jesus Christ. In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Jesus takes us with Him to the Father in His pure offering on Calvary, as the Father gives His Eucharist Son, Jesus, to us in Holy Communion.
Before the New Testament was ever written there was Holy Tradition, and a community of believers living it, relying on Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice.
“ I received from the Lord what I handed on to you, namely, that the lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread, and after He had given thanks, broke it and said, “ This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper, he took the cup, saying, “This is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me .” Every time, then, you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes!” ( 1 Cor. 11: 23-26 )
St. Paul goes on to emphasize the sacrificial aspect of the Lord’s Supper and how participation in this mystery requires a clear conscience and that abuse of this mystery on the part of some is the cause of their punishment through illness and death. See 1 Cor. 11:27-34 )
In the Holy Eucharist there is Jesus who revels to us the Father and the Father’s love. As God works to move us all into all truth, the devil works to move us all into confusion and denial and rejection of God’s will.
Those of you who will not hear God in this matter, you will be found standing in the outer court. Wisdom from God be yours.
Maybe this will help some: True faith must be complete. It is a folly to suppose that you can pick and choose among the truths God has revealed, according to your tastes. To say you believe in heaven but not in hell, or in Baptism but not in Holy Communion, is in effect to say God can be wrong.
In these days speculative faith is not to be preached by those who are able to hear the voice of God. It is for God’s witnesses to preach the true faith which is complete. This is the reality of the true prophets of God in this hour- the hour of God’s calling all of us to His restoration- and the hour of the devil calling all of us into apostasy from Christ.
The Holy Spirit works for that unity which Jesus Christ wished to bestow on all those down through the ages whom He would regenerate and vivify into the one Body and newness of life which Sacred Scripture and revered Scared Tradition proclaim.
Pray to God that you do not choose against God. For there is a real choosing in the matter at hand. And there are real consequences.
Your brother in Christ,
