A tweet went out this past weekend, saying, “We will burn your Eucharist.”
Everyone at St. Stephen the First Martyr stands firm, and they are well-educated, industrious, and discerning.
I have spoken to many St. Stephen girls and boys, and all are homeschooled but for one who is in a charter high school, and Rory told me that the school is half Catholic and half Mormon.
So how to react to that kind of tweet? God expects me to act, not sit on my donkey.
Jesus said, “But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil. [38] You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. [39] But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other: [40] And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.” Matthew.
[39] "Not to resist evil": What is here commanded, is a Christian patience under injuries and affronts, and to be willing even to suffer still more, rather than to indulge the desire of revenge: but what is further added does not strictly oblige according to the letter, for neither did Christ nor St. Paul turn the other cheek. St. John 18 and Acts 23. Douay-Rheims
Wait for Him to chastise the evildoers with the Ten Plagues of Egypt?
