Becoming a Saint in God's Eyes: Part IV: The Journey Grace and Works Joined Together

A Pilgrimage of Love, Mercy, and Communion We have learned that grace should be treasured and not taken lightly. We are born with sanctifying grace, but we grow deeper in it by choosing to follow Jesus—the Blessed Trinity. We receive actual grace when we choose to follow Him—when we choose to love Him. Yet grace can be lost through mortal sin, and recovered through confession, redemption,…

John 7:40-53

St. Ignatious says that as a person grows in their spiritual practice, Satan will find varoius ways to attack your spirit. The evil one taunts us in our journey but we need to reject the lies that attack us. They are meant to discourage us from seeking refuge in our Lord. The brightside being that from each attack we resist the stronger our love for God becomes.

I, myself, have expierenced this, very recently. I was challenged and embarred at a church over some old (and yes rather crude) stickers on my car. I typically try to keep my car out of sight but that day I had just forgotten. I don't drive much anymore since moving to the city, so coming back home I didn't think much of it. When I was rejected from the church and sent back home (I attened a different mass before going home, I was late though), I cried all the day long. I sat on my bed crying, wailing. My heart so badly broken. I knew I wasn't who I used to be, the stickers no longer represented me and I was a changed person. More about that [Here]. However, the man who doubted my faith felt like an attack on me because I had come so far since moving. I was closer to the Lord than I ever been then suddendly a spiritual attack. I fell out of my prayer routine, I no longer felt worthy of being with the Lord, even though that moment before mass I was the same person from the city who had loved the Lord, divoted myself to him, prayed daily. It was not only a wake up call to change my car's appearence but also something the accuser had used to question my true divotion. However, I ran to my sisters in Christ. I told them about what happened, prayed and they helped me move foward. I yerned for God and I kept moving foward with him, knowing he will provide me with answers. This attack was strong. I felt so unworthy despite having undergone so much change since I last been home. Before I left back to the city I was able to put my dispair at the foot of the Cross and remember God's mercy, forgiveness and grace. It made Mass on Sunday all the more joyous, knowing I was free from this dispair, and I was moving foward making changes for God and did not give into the feeling or worthlessness.

Do not come to dispair. Do not fall into anxitey of worthlessness. Keep your peace with God. Be strong and trust that God is with us. Do not fall away from God as the attacks persist. Remember there is no greater gift than that in which Jesus has given to us.

Let's Pray,

Our Lord you are truly good truly right and truly just. Have mercy on us as we walk closer to you day by day. Protect us from the Evil one. Give us the strenght to stay close to you O'Lord. May we defend our spirit, choose you over all and keep moving foward to accept the graces in which you have promised us. Let not those who detest us or question our divotion in hopes to discourage us win against our hearts but rather allow us to run to you with open arms. Alimighty God we pray to you to keep our hearts with you always and our beliefs with you today, tomorrow, now and forever and ever.

In the Name of The Father The Sun and The Holy Spirit.

Amen
