Opinion: Cardinal Stafford at Catholic University: “Blistering Rant” or Prophetic Warning?

“It is to be anticipated that perhaps not everyone will easily accept this particular teaching. There is too much clamorous outcry against the voice of the Church, and this is intensified by modern means of communication. But it comes as no surprise to the Church that she, no less than her divine Founder, is destined to be a "sign of contradiction." She does not, because of this, evade the duty imposed on her of proclaiming humbly but firmly the entire moral law, both natural and evangelical. Since the Church did not make either of these laws, she cannot be their arbiter—only their guardian and interpreter. It could never be right for her to declare lawful what is in fact unlawful, since that, by its very nature, is always opposed to the true good of man.”

   ADVENT SEASON 2008

Advent is the season of preparation, a preparation to welcome anew the God of Peace in our hearts and lives. We are keenly aware of the situations in our world that continue to worsen. What do all these events call us to, as we prepare to welcome Jesus, the Prince of Peace? During this Advent, we are invited to “stay awake” and pray, as we ready ourselves for the celebration of “God with us.” Let us listen deeply to the cries of longing for the revelation of God and be open to the surprises and wonders of God in the midst of all the adversity and strife around us.
