Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.
...
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. 7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them. 8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. 9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth; 10 Proving what is well pleasing to God: 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. 13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
God does not choose evil. God proclaims "I am good and I am love. Come follow Me". You who have chosen evil must repent. You must beg God for forgiveness. You have put your hope, trust, and faith in a purveyor of evil. You must recognize the sin you have committed and obey God. He wants you to follow Him. Not into evil, but into good. If it is only you, by yourself, following God, that is no excuse to abandon Him and choose evil. The holy response, when you are alone in the world, is to grab onto Him tighter. Hold Him tighter and do not let go! When you walk down an evil path, after convincing yourself it is the lesser evil path, you will embrace darkness and despair. First, confess your sins to God, and then endeavor to commit them no more.
Matthew 7
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Christ's church has been under attack since the beginning. It will remain that way until the end. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church. That does not mean there will ever be a time of ease or calm for the Church in this world. You must, with your flesh, fight the evil, and with your soul, embrace the peace of Christ. Peace is not to be found outside of the Lord your God. Peace will not be found in men, and secular Godless institutions. Peace will be found when you let go of the burdens that the evil in this world places on your soul, reject sin, and choose to follow God's way. He is the only path to peace. You are idolaters who look for peace or happiness in the perverted works of fallen man. Everything in your life and your soul must be a monument built for God.
The Devil is like a mad dog tied by a chain. Beyond the length of the chain he cannot catch hold of anyone. And you, therefore, keep your distance. If you get too close you will be caught. Remember, the Devil has only one door with which to enter into our soul: our will. There are no secret or hidden doors. No sin is a true sin if we have not willfully consented. ~Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina

What separates you from the Godless, and damned, is not your attendance at Church. It is not your ability or willingness to recite prayers. What separates you is your willingness to conform your entire life to the will of God. You must not pick and choose as the heretics and apostates do. You must embrace His will as your own, and endeavor to follow Him, living like his Saints did, if you want to be with Him. His saints chose death over sin. You must as well.
The Church is under attack from the outside and the inside. The Church, unwilling or unable to purge itself of heretics and apostates, will be purged by God himself. The Church will shrink as the rotted fruit is cast out. In this world though, the rotted fruit will be treated as if fresh, and the fresh as if rotted. Woe to he that despairs in his lot in this world, for the path of the martyr is glorious. You who follow Christ have your path laid out before you. You will not be the first to suffer for Christ. You will not be the last. You must choose if you will follow Him, or join the rotten fruit in the world, celebrating your freedom from God for the rest of your worldly life. The choice you have is between your worldly life, and eternity. You have been warned.
The Church must suffer for its failings. The Church has failed over these last 50 years to defeat the modernist attack within. It now reaps what it sowed. You must defend Holy Mother Church, and restore her if you wish this period of tribulation to end. Over 50 million dead babies. Almost complete collapse of both natural law and acceptance of God's rule. Heresy and apostasy run amok in the Church. The era in which social benefits exist for members of the large and powerful Church draws to an end, accordingly, the membership will dwindle as those with no faith, and no resolve to conform to God's will, flee the persecution and tribulations. The numbers of attackers outside will only grow. The choice is yours. You know the path you must take. For those of you taking the path of righteousness, the real challenge will be doing it joyfully. You must joyfully approach and survive the tribulations and persecutions. Only that way will your suffering bring others to Christ. Only that way will your suffering be meaningful.
Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of Israel, and no man durst go out or come in. 2 And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho, and the king thereof, and all the valiant men. 3 Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye do for six days. 4 And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets. 5 And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.
After you have confessed your sins against God's will, and vowed not to choose evil and participate in evil practices, you must forgive yourself, and once again become an inspiration to those seeking God and seeking the way to living a holy life. You must let go of the hate and bitterness you direct at others, others who followed God and refused to choose an evil path, and direct it at your own sin, so that you may again grow close to God. Do not forget that holiness and goodness can not be obtained through the calculation and rationalization of choosing evil. Holiness and Goodness are not always the easy path. Often it is the harder path, a path where you must acknowledge that man cannot save you. Man cannot bring you peace, or save your soul. Only God can. If God commands you to march around a city for seven days, you do it because God commanded it. You do not attempt to find an alternate way that seems to you more likely to succeed, without disobeying Him. When you abandon His way for your own, you have chosen evil.
Go forth and be a shining example of holiness and strength, as you embrace the will of God in your life.
May God bless you and keep you safe until He calls you home, and may He give you strength to weather the storm ahead.
