The Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula

A long, long time ago, God began the process we call Creation.  According to the words of Genesis, it took him a whole week to create the entire universe.  One day at a time, God meticulously made, out of nothing, one thing after another until he had made everything.  There was a method to the order in which he made things.  He started by saying “Let there be light”.  And along with the creation of light, there began to exist both space for light to move through, and time to measure the speed at which light moved through that space.  God didn’t create the earth or the sun or the stars and planets first, because without space and time, they could not possibly exist.  Everything we see needs space to occupy and a length of time in which to occupy it.  In short, creation had order, just like all of nature today has order.  And the order of creation was such that things were made to prepare the universe for the next thing to be made.  One thing at a time until it was complete.

We must ask ourselves now, why did God keep creating for six whole days?  And why did he stop after the sixth day?  Why did he rest on the seventh day, the sabbath?  Was he tired after all that creating?  Of course not.  He stopped because he had finished.  He had made, out of the dust of the earth, his greatest creation, Man.  He had created time and space, the planet earth with its sun to keep us warm, the air we breathe, the great waters to give us rain and water our crops, all the vegetation and the animals to provide us with food and everything we need.  And once he had created all these things, he created Man.  All the things he had previously made were made for Man.

It’s important for us to be made aware of this fact, that everything around us was created for us.  All these things were given to us to use for our greater good.  And here we run into the usual problem of our free will.  With free will we have the option either to use nature properly as God intended, or to abuse nature simply because we can, because we have become so arrogant as to think it belongs to us to use and abuse as we wish.

The modern-day “woke” society has turned this apparent loophole entirely to the advantage of the individual.  For them, Nature is not something created by God that we should cherish and take care of, but something that we are free to take advantage of, to transform and bend according to our own whims and pleasures of the moment.  We have the misfortune of living in an age where Nature is no longer respected and where sinners no longer hesitate to break the boundaries laid down since Creation.  Man has learned to mistreat the world he’s supposed to be taking care of.  For example, the crops that feed us are now poisoned with preservatives, unnaturally and genetically modified so that they feed more people for longer, but destroy our digestive system in the process.  The natural reproductive system has now become a multi-million dollar industry, with in vitro fertilization, surrogate mothers and fathers, an adoption process which is more like selling babies than taking care of orphans.  And of course, the highly popular practice of artificially terminating pregnancies.  There is no way to describe a mother murdering the poor infant within her as “natural.”

Unnatural vice is no longer taboo, no longer something that naughty people whisper about behind closed doors.  It is now openly discussed and actually encouraged by our institutions of learning, our mass media, and almost every corporate and political entity that exist.  Christian churches held out for a while, but now they are falling too.  The option of blessing same-sex unions is finding an increasingly welcoming place in religion.  The Anglican Church was the latest to approve of this sacrilege just this past week.  And with a man like Bergoglio in charge of the Church of Rome, how long can it be before he insists on this ultimate rebellion against the God he hates so much?

We can no longer expect the will of the people to hold back this revolt against nature.  Nation after nation has succumbed to the will of its citizens who, thanks to the propaganda with which they are daily bombarded, now vote overwhelmingly to promote every unnatural vice imaginable.  The majority of our fellow-men is now on the side of Satan and we who hold true to the Laws of Nature and of God must now face the prospect of being persecuted for our “out-of-date” beliefs.  It surely cannot be long before our beliefs are deemed as hate crimes, and punishable by the full force of a new law—the Unnatural Law.

What is this Unnatural Law if not the Law of Satan.  Remember, he only has one law—“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.”  And this law is on the verge of being enforced.  People must be allowed to do what they want.  And anyone, including God, who says no, there are things which you may not do, will be punished for denying this Unnatural Law of the Devil.  We will become the bad guys, the ones responsible for all the sorrows and sufferings of this world, the ones who want to impose our own outdated values on the enlightened and woke.  And without the presence of God in the thinking of our accusers, what possible defense can we invoke?

The bottom line of all this, of course, is that we had better be ready to stand up for our values.  We know that these values are under attack.  It can’t be long before we who hold them will also be under attack, one which may be violent and vicious.  The only thing we will have left in the face of such terrors will be God himself.  He may not be present in the thoughts of our attackers, but he must be constantly present in ours.  Let’s remember that he is eternally present everywhere, that it was He who created Nature and the world we live in, and that no matter how fierce this Nature is attacked, it can never by completely destroyed or replaced by mere creatures.  The Divine Creator will see us through these persecutions.  If we remain loyal to him, we can never suffer harm.  Sure, we may face physical attacks, we may suffer for our values, we may even be asked to die for them.  But we can never, ever suffer true harm, harm to our souls, as long as faithfully stay true to God’s nature and its laws.  Follow these laws of nature, stay close to God, and soon enough we’ll find ourselves beholding him in glory.
