On Righteous Indignation

"FOR THE WRATH of a man does not accomplish the righteousness of God."

James 1: 20

IT IS RIGHT to hate the Devil and his demons but we must not belong to this hate nor must this hate belong to us. Let us never dwell on this hate nor cling to it for it is not compatible to the lives we wish to live in our one Solidarity.

We may only hate to the extent that we love, this hate being a natural reaction to those things that afflict or threaten what we hold dear in our hearts. This hatred is not an isolated, sinful hatred but is a natural reaction, a flame kept in check by the infinitely greater fire of charity. We should hate the Devil and his fallen angels for the damage they are causing our humanity and for the profanities that they use to slander our Lord.

But if the Devil and his fallen angels were to cease and desist from afflicting or threatening that objects of our love, then the hatred that we feel shall also cease and desist with the evil.

Sinful hatred does not know where to end because it is blinded by its own darkness. But the hatred that I speak of here, let us be clear, Beloved of God, is righteous indignation.

This righteous indignation is not only applicable exclusively to the Devil and his demons, lest we become blind to our own sinfulness, it is also to be correctly applied to our own sinfulness and to the evil fashions of this midnight world.

A wholesome contempt and distrust of self is a product of a true and sincere contrition. Detachment from the world is good because only then, when we are sober and temperate, can we truly master the material forces of God's creation and more effectively diffuse His grace into our world.

But this detachment is never to be achieved without first hating the evils that arise from the vanity of this world. One must discern and then separate in his or her heart what is truly evil that is often indistinguishable from the human lack that define our needs for the necessary goods of the world.

For indeed, there are many evils in this world that appear good and also many good that appear evil.

To sum and in my own words;

Righteous indignation is an abhorrence of sin that absolutely condemns Satan with a condemnation that feels the hurt and the loss of the souls of all of mankind, especially our own, and with ever increasing degrees of intensity desire to completely and utterly hate the all of works and pomps of the Devil which is sin and all it's allure, the beast of war, and all that is evil with a hatred that is like a fire that is contained by the greater flame of charity, a burning hatred of the Beast as our one great hate that serves our one great love - Jesus Christ, our All, the same, yesterday, today and forever.

It begins with a sincere and single-hearted penance and death to the false self and ends with a love that regenerates anew the everlasting life of man as we are created in the Vision of God. A quite difficult transformation impossible without God's grace and our own free cooperation with the tranquil patience of the Holy Spirit of our Lord.

Prosper the Peace. Prosper the People.

Sancta Sanctis!

Glory to God in the highest
Adoration to Jesus Christ
