On Spiritual Windows and a Bridge Too Far

Thanks to Wiki for the poster

I have wanted to work for God in England since 1985, when I was first here permanently. I had talked with some Americans in 1986 on creating community in London among Catholics. At that time, I was working for the Westminster Diocese as a what was then called a "lay chaplain", a horrible title and not true.

However, the work was fruitful and two priests came out of the Bible study I was running at the time. However, the community efforts failed. I also tried in Plymouth, as a married woman, and in Petersfield, but my efforts failed. When one fails in trying to create the plan of God on earth, one must take one's efforts to prayer.

Most things fail, but ironically, some things flourish, because the efforts are the ideas of men and women and NOT God's plan. One must allow God to purify the imagination and heart in order to hear God's plan and not falsely work on one's own. Look at the lives of the saints-look how hard they had to work for God's plans.

One cannot judge by successes or failures. Sometimes, God lets someone or even a group go their own way in stubbornness and falsity as a consequence of their own egoism. He has removed Himself.

There are many ministries in the Catholic Church which are NOT from God, but from men and women, who are working out of their own vision and not DYING TO SELF and following God.

During the past 24 hours, as I am in considerable pain and have to try and rest my back, I continued my prayers for Walsingham and the lack of community, nay, the absolute disruption of the Catholic community there and in other places in England. That there are so many people in Walsingham and elsewhere, thinking they are following God but in reality following false seers and false teaching, such as false ecumenism, (a big fallacy), causes the Church is be divided and weakened.

The lack of people desiring to leave the comfort zones and sacrifice for God creates a spiritual vacuum.

Worse is the fact that God calls people to His plan and they do not listen, being too busy about their own plans for the Church.

Those who read about World War II know of the debacle called "A Bridge Too Far" and if you have not seen the movie or read the book, do so.

The problem was that the generals were not in agreement and getting arrogant towards the end of the war. British generals made huge mistakes and sent many men to their deaths because these generals were not listening to reconnaissance men and to other generals. The entire engagement was a mistake of tragic proportions. The Nazis won the battle.

If the American and England generals were listening to reconnaissance, (the Holy Spirit, in my analogy), and getting along, sharing a vision instead of doing their own thing,(the lack of community and the persistence of self-love in my analogy), other men further down the line, and the men at Arnhem would not have died in such a horribly bad error of judgement. The Polish were also involved and tried to convince the others of the poor planning. Men died.

In the spiritual warfare of the Church Militant, to lose a battle means that souls are lost and people will go to hell.

A bridge too far may be a ministry which looks good, but is using means which are unorthodox, false, disobedient, and so on. I could name several here, but will not do so. Some I have mentioned recently on this blog. Any group which disobeys in any small thing is not doing God's Will.

On the front, no small mistake can be excused. In war, all the parts of the puzzles and men and women involved in strategies must get it right, or lives are WASTED.

I have been praying at to the main sin here in England as to why there is so much disobedience and the following of false teaching--more than in the Catholic Church in the States, proportionally.

The answer goes back to Oath of Supremacy of 1534. For 479 years, England has chosen property, status, money, comfort, and the denial of hell instead of the Will of God.

Universal salvation is still one of the biggest heresies here. Relativism and even apathy about religion are direct results of the protestant revolt in England.

People are not listening to God if they do not listen to Rome. To be united to God means in every way to be one with Rome.

Who made you Pope? Parliament and the People

A litmus test for the real work of God is orthodoxy. Do not get involved with any groups which are not obedient to Rome in any way, small or large.

The way to God in England

I cannot trust myself to plans, meetings, groups which are not straight-down-the wicket with God.

Do not do so, or your soul will be in danger. Operation Market Garden, an ironic name considering that Napoleon called the British a nation of shopkeepers in derogatory fashion, caused the unnecessary death of many, many men. These false works here within the Church cause the death of souls for those who choose to step outside the Church and ignore Her loving teaching.

Pray for me and pray for England. I believe the ONLY way forward is through the Latin Mass and the Latin Mass communities, which are orthodox. The holy house for Adoration in Walsingham would have the Gregorian Chant and the discipline of the Church, nothing unorthodox, nothing. This is God's work not mine, as I would never choose to live in Walsingham. It doesn't even have a post office, a bank, an ATM or my phone company's service. Norfolk is cold and I hate the cold. I would much rather live in Malta. It is very inconvenient to be in the place where Mary decided to appear, but there is a Tyburn-Walsingham connection-The Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

He suffered for His Church seeing the sins of the British people and all peoples in the Garden of Gethsemane. Can we not join ourselves to that suffering? Christ has created a window of opportunity with this house for sale, a perfect community house, in Walsingham, for His plans to bring England back to the pre-prostestant revolt state there. Will you respond to His vision? This is not a bridge too far, but a strategy for taking back England to the True Faith. Those who do not follow what Christ wants will end up in another place, as they separate themselves from Rome and the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, which rests in the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church. Anything less is a bridge too far and will end in eternal tragedy. We do not go to heaven by good intentions, but by death of self. 

Is anyone willing to suffer for God and leave his and her comfort zones? I am and do....Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us and take us all back to your Son.

To be continued....
