1. In whom does the Blessed Trinity resides.
The feast today, Trinity Sunday, is a further elaboration of the Feast of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit can only abide in the Church together with the Father and the Son. Thus preparing oneself to receive the Holy Spirit must be preceded by preparations to receive the Father, first, and the Son, secondly. Then and only then will the Holy Spirit, together with the Father and the Son, abide in the Church.
The defect in the Charismatic movement is that there are no preparations for the receiving of the Father and the Son. And they expect to receive the Holy Spirit. That is impossible, as the Liturgy of the Mass for Trinity Sunday shows.
2. The Holy Spirit is in the Church, not in individuals.
The Holy Spirit is in individuals together with the Father and the Son, as he is a part of the Catholic Church. The Holy Spirit had already descended upon the Church. We should stop calling the Spirit down on us. He is already there. We just have to enter the Church to be abided in by the Spirit who will only come with the Father and the Son. The problem, obviously, is not in the absence of the Spirit; it is the impossibility in finding the Catholic Church which seems not to be, even, in the Vatican.
The signs that the Holy Spirit is abiding in us together with the Father and the Son and, therefore, making us deserving of the promise of eternal life is described in todays Gospel.
These signs are the signs, also, that we are within the Catholic Church; because we cannot encounter the Holy Spirit outside the Church as Protestants believe.
This sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit is, also, the sign that we have the theological virtues and, therefore, the sign that our salvation is assured. How can a soul with the Blessed Trinity abiding in him be lost?
3. Pentecost and Trinity Sunday have the same message.
So the Mass of Trinity Sunday is an important adjunct of Pentecost Sunday because this Sunday tells us the infallible signs of the presence of the Holy Spirit abiding in one’s soul. If the Holy Spirit abides in our soul then the Blessed Trinity abides in our soul and that is the sign that we are inside the Catholic Church. Not the other way around.
It is possible for us to be inside the Catholic Church but do not have the Holy Spirit if we have just entered the Church and have just encountered Christ, the created soul of the Church. We have to go deeper into the Church to encounter the Holy Spirit who is the uncreated soul of the Catholic Church.
4. Why do we keep calling down the Holy Spirit?
When Pope John XXIII announced that he was opening the windows of the Church to allow the Holy Spirit to come in, he was just speaking using figures of speech. The Spirit is already inside the Church. It is a matter of looking for the Church; which we cannot find today. Why? Because we do not know what to look for. We have to look for the true Church. How? Through the four visible signs found in the Nicene Creed. But what are those four signs? Well, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. What do those words mean. That is another big problem. You will have to sit down and seriously study what those signs mean because it is very difficult to learn them; so difficult that practically most parish priests and bishops do not know if their parishes and dioceses have these four visible signs.
In fact, most parishes and dioceses do not have these visible signs and they do not know how to acquire these signs. With such an unresolved problem it is impossible for most priest and bishop to possess the Holy Spirit. If so, how much more the rest of the laymen.
So it is possible that most are not really Catholics? That is a question only each one can answer. Though outsiders, like St. Augustine and St. Robert Bellarmine can help.
5. Who have the Holy Spirit? In whom does the Blessed Trinity abide in?
The Gospel of Trinity Sunday answered it describing what the Holy Spirit does in the soul. These activities show the soul is in the Church and have encountered the Holy Spirit, as Pope Benedict described it. These activities show that the Blessed Trinity is abiding in the soul because the soul is within the Church; and, therefore the soul’s salvation is assured.
6. How do we know we have the Holy Spirit? By its functions!
The Gospel writes; First, the Spirit will convince the world of sin. Secondly, He will convince the world of Justice. Thirdly, He will convince the world of Judgment.
A. The Spirit will convince the world of sin. The Spirit will teach the world that the source of their sins is UNBELIEF., ‘they do not believe in Me. All sins come from the absence of Faith. As such the father of worldly people is the devil. St. Paul wrote; ‘everything not of Faith is sin.’
These sins are expressions of unbelief which are disobediences to the commands of God. The Spirit will show that the unbelief of the editor Scalfari is a sin and he will not go to heaven because, ‘he who does not believe is already condemned.’ He will convince the world that for a husband not to love the wife as Christ loved the Church is a sin. That wives who do not subject themselves to their husbands is committing sin. That for adulterer to receive Holy Communion is a very grievous sin. That family planning for any reason if an intrinsic evil. That ignorance of the truths of the Catholic Religion is sin. And love for self is a sin. And many more.
All the above sins had been described by Pope Francis as not sinful, thus going directly against the teaching of Christ about what the presence of the Holy Spirit is teaching the world. In fact, Pope Francis have abolished many sins and believes that he finds it impossible to think of a God who will send souls to hell. This is the heresy of universal salvation. It is a heresy many priests, seeking popularity, are teaching. One priest teaching this heresy was just promoted by Pope Francis as a Bishop in the U.S. Poor U.S. and poor world.
While the Spirit is telling us what are sinful; Pope Francis is abolishing sins. He had mentioned lately allowing priests to marry. Hmmmm? This is getting exciting, for the concupiscence.
B. The Spirit will rebuked the world for having neglected Justice. Like the over emphasis of Pope Francis and the Vatican on Mercy and Compassion.
The Justice taught by the Spirit is called the Justice of Faith. The Justice of Faith is an act of mercy based on Faith. This consist in, first, believing in the Divinity of Christ and afterwards, believing in the humanity of Christ. St. Thomas of Aquinas wrote that the world is not doing it this way.
Because the world is doing it wrongly, the world is already judged with the devil who is the ruler of the world and of worldly people.
The devil is the ruler of the sons of Pride. And the world are so proud to believe that they deserve Mercy without Justice as Pope Francis and his bureaucracy are teaching.
The Gospel says; ‘those who do not believe are already condemned. So the ruler of the world and those who adhere to him are already condemned. The ruler being condemned, its followers who imitate his pride and evil ways are, likewise, condemned.
The Spirit will convince the world of sin and will be a witness against the world. They have sinned grievously because ‘they believed not in Me.’ Thus the Spirit will be a witness to My Justice which the world did not think I possessed. So, it can happened that most people in the world are already condemned with the devil and they do not know it; and these are those who wallow in the ‘Year of Mercy of Pope Francis’ while forgetting His justice, a very important moral virtue.
C. And the Spirit will convince the world that there will be a Judgment that will follow death and/or the end of the world. Now, this is contrary to the now popular teaching within the Church that everybody will go to heaven and that it is impossible for a Good God to send anybody to hell. Well, God did not create hell just as a decoration. The devils will go there. Those without Faith will go there. The anti-christ will go there together with the anti-popes, the Book of Revelation states.
The children of Fatima saw hell; O.k. That could be caused by the heat of summer. But the very experience of people without Faith on earth is the greatest proof of hell because life without Faith is a foretaste of hell.
7. The gospel continues to describe what the Holy Spirit will do for the disciples of Christ.
After showing what the Spirit will do for the world, the Gospel continues to show what He will do for the disciples.
a.) He shows the need for further instructions. ‘I have much more to tell you but you cannot bear it now.’
b.) How will He do it. ‘ The Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth.’
c,) Won’t that be difficult to learn? ‘No, He will not speak on his own but will tell you only what he hears by telling you ‘things to come.’
A. ‘I have much more to tell you but you cannot bear it now.’ The apostles have learned the teachings of God the Father in the Old Testament from John the Baptist. They have learned the teachings of God the Son from Jesus Christ in the New Testament. But they did not know the teachings of God the Holy Spirit because he has not yet come, the Gospel being before Pentecost.
The apostles were told to preach only after Pentecost because otherwise their preaching will be incomplete, like most preachers today. Incomplete knowledge cannot bring you to heaven. So Christ tell His apostles ‘you still have much to learn. So wait for the Spirit to complete your instructions before you preach.’
Most Catholic preachers today do not know the teachings of the Blessed Trinity because the Trinity is not abiding in them. Why? Because they do not know anymore how to be the abiding places of the Trinity. And these signs of the presence of the Spirit are not in them.
B. ‘He will teach you all truths.’ All truths! And our Pope does not know the theology of grace as shown in his first papal speech. He does not know most of the truths as shown by the research of ‘Milites Christi’ a young congregation of priests started by a Jesuit in Argentina, in a well documented paper. He does not know that marriage is indissoluble. He does know that people without Faith go to hell, thus encouraging Scalfari to continue in his being an Atheist. He does not know that family planning is intrinsically evil, and adulterer will more surely go to hell if they receive Holy Communion without repenting.
Pope Francis does not seem to know most of the truths taught by the Holy Spirit and found in Divine Revelation. Which makes us wonder what book is he reading. Well, he mentions Cardinal Kasper and Cardinal Schonborn, two cardinals not known for orthodoxy.
c. ‘He will announce to you the things to come.’
We have mentioned many times the fact that the Catholic Religion is a prophetic religion. Everything that happened in the
church are types of things to come. That is why a good homily should not only have a good exegesis; it must have eschatology. Today we have neither; only entertainments of bishops wearing clown gears, playing samba and doing their entrance for Mass in a bicycle.
The entire of Scriptures, specially the Psalms, speak of ‘thing to come.’ The blessed Virgin kept on speaking of things to come. But nobody is listening. Though we believe when these are news on global warming to come or stock market to crash. As the Spirit had mentioned above, the problem is we believe everything when we don’t believe in God. Global warming is not caused by the tricycles in India or the smoke stacks of China. It is a sign of God’s approaching chastisement of destroying the world by fire, Scriptures write. Doesn’t that make sense; it is warm because God had turned on the heat.
How come the church today does not know the things to come; that one day there will be a great apostasy as mentioned by St. Paul. ‘Great’ means that most of the cardinals, bishops, priests and nuns will be apostates. How come the church does not know that she can have an anti-pope whose type is Judas. How come the Church does not know that one day the owner of the vineyard, the church, will take away the church from the bishops and give to somebody else as predicted by the parable. How come the church does not know that one day the church will not exist in the Vatican and in the world as clearly shown in the Book of Revelation. How come the church continues to believe that the door of the church will remain for all to enter when it is clear from Noah’s time that there will be a time that the door of the Church will be shut and nobody can enter her.
Didn’t the Gospel state that the Spirit will inform the Church of things to come. So how come they do not know these things?
This work of the Spirit is completely absent in the Church today; thus making us believe that the Spirit is not in the so-called Church that we know. It is in the Church; but the Church is somewhere else. And unless we find it soon, we could be eternally lost.
8. Upon the presence of the Spirit in the Church are based the four visible signs of the true Church of Christ as found in the Nicene Creed. The last, just mentioned, ‘the Spirit will announce things to come ‘ is the most impressive sign which all other religions and sects do not have. It is called the Spirit of prophecy. But then we cannot find this sign either in the Church of the Vatican.
Isaiah 41:23 wrote; ‘Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods.’
Only the Holy Spirit within the Church can do this. And the Catholic Church had been doing this…..until the time of Pope Benedict XVI who describe the world as in total decay. Then…the Spirit was gone. It seems that, suddenly, the Catholic Church had disappeared from the face of the earth. No, no. Both Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI pointed where she is. She is with the Great Sign in the Sky, who flew into the desert whose image resembles Our Lady of Guadalupe; thus they made her the patroness of the ‘new’ evangelisation.’
The Spirit always goes into the hearts of people ‘in the desert,’ not in people in rowdy Pentecostal revivals.
