Thank you Bro. Ignatius Mary John R. Monday, December 10, 2012

Question:

Bro. Ignatius Mary,

You are correct as always, and so, I will definitely ask for God’s forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, for my own rude and sanctimonious display of rash judgment against my brother.

For whatever reason my brother may choose to speak in tongue’s before the Blessed Sacrament, I do not know, and, as you pointed out, I do not know what is in his hear.

From this day forward, I will do my best to remain silent, and, I will pray for the grace to do so. Also, should my brother, alone, or in a group, choose to pray the Rosary, aloud, before the Blessed Sacrament, I will, with the help of God’s grace, remain silent.

I now realize that I have no right to challenge or accuse them, "Judgment is mine sayeth the Lord". And so, in the future I will keep silent, and, as you suggested, offer up my annoyance, for the salvation of souls, including me, who are in most need of God’s grace, guidance, and direction.

Again, thank you, and God bless,

“MERRY CHRISTMAS”

John R.

Dear John:

I understand your situation. I am tempted to do the same. But, we must restrain ourselves.

Merry Christmas.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
