we have a dangerous religion

We have a dangerous religion.
SEQUEL TO FISHING!!!
AND WILL THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN BE FEW?
TAKEN FROM TODAY'S LITURGY.

No wonder the Protestants like to believe that “Once saved, Always saved!”
It is so comforting... Kind of like Jesus has done it all... I can just sit back and enjoy it...

How are you doing today Michael King??
Oh I'm fine!]
I just got back from Mass.
I recently went to confession!
I work for Jesus every day!
I do this and I do that!
I'm just fine thanks!

Well sorry mate but that's the wrong answer.
That is not going to get you to Heaven.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT? I BELIEVE IN JESUS AND I WORK FOR HIM AND I PRAY A GREAT DEAL.. AND I TRY TO BE LOVING EVEN TO MY ENEMIES..WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU MEAN???????”

Comes the reply again, “You are on the wrong track........”

HELP!!!!!!!

Then comes the reply that is the same for the Pope and for the Cardinals and for all those heavily involved in Ministry organising this and organising that and right down to little old pathetic me and you.

Luk 17:10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say,
We are unprofitable servants:
we have done that which was our duty to do.

And then another verse Mat 10:22, which I had conveniently overlooked
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake:

but he that endureth to the end shall be saved

John Paul the 2nd JP2 said to his attendant just a few moments before he died.. “Soon I will not be able to sin any more!”

This is a daily struggle!! Right up to the end!!

I do not know about you, but I need to be reminded about this very very very often...

Why???

Because I am a forgetter especially about rather uncomfortable things.

I much prefer....
So nice to meet you at the Bible study last night!!
You really lead it marvellously!
Where do you get all the energy from???
I know that you are going to say, Jesus, so humble!!!! But really you are Great!!!!!

So now back to my favourite Prayer which Lord help me to say from my heart. Only He knows whether it is put on for effect or if it is sincere....

LORD JESUS CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON ME A MISERABLE SINNER!!!!
