Yesterday, I got so excited that I had to begin my year in the Year of the Faith as a Confirmandi. I was confirmed in the Church at Don Bosco Parish this Feb. 10, 2013, and my prayer was as bold as ever, that God should use me as his faithful soldier and be placed at the forefront of the battefield. I had this flashes of events before me, that I am chosen by God to be serving in His vineyard.
Apostasy, relativism, liberalism, and even paganism is the norm nowadays, and I risk being mocked and humiliated because of my faith. But I still and will still fight for religious freedom and for the gospel until the end.
Just as I was having great confidence because the Holy Spirit is called down to move me, a shocking event took place, the very next day, the Pope, our dear Pope Benedict XVI who called the lay people to spread the gospel and assigned this as a year of the faith, had resigned from his post!
He will be active in his duties until February 28, 2013.
I got scared, really really scared. It seems like the light of the seat of Peter is slowly dimming. Not that I do not trust the next popes, it's just that, I have seen the Marian Pope, Pope John Paul II and the advisor who stood by him, and eventually became the next pope. The more I ponder on these things, the more I realized that the end is fast approaching. It is scary, but in times like these, hope is alive! The Holy Spirit is moving!
In Excelsis Deo!
2013, Year of the Faith!
