Persecution As A Means Of Living In Imitation Of Christ

God is the One I trust with my life.

I have my very own persecutor, an agent of hate used by Satan our adversary to promote an agenda of destroying what is good and holy. Yesterday, this person threatened once again to take me to court, have me evaluated by a psychiatrist, and declared crazy. By the graces flowing from the Holy Spirit I remained joyful in the midst of this all-to familiar assault that has been going on for a decade, and responded joyfully, "That's what happens to really holy people!"

I consider myself very blessed to be making such spiritual progress.


Actually, if I was declared crazy by the friend of the criminals justice system and was thrown in jail as my persecutor has requested for years that the system do, then I would become a prisoner just like Jesus!

Jesus is the willing Prisoner of Love for all of mankind. He humbly takes the form of bread and wine and is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in all the tabernacles of the world.

If God allowed me to become a prisoner, too, then my request to become more like Jesus would be granted, and by His power great good would come of my unjust incarceration.

Certainly there isn't nor has there ever been any evidence at all to support the claim that I am crazy, but no evidence is needed in court to prove or disprove anything. In fact, evidence just complicates things for the corrupt people who have already made up their minds and stand to benefit in various ways from harming innocent people.

I've been down this road before. Years ago an order was entered that I be forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. In fact, the court ordered the psychiatric evaluation my persecutor demanded, but being blinded by its own arrogance and thus not knowing or caring what it even ordered, accepted a psychologist's evaluation instead. The evaluation was not conducted by a mental health professional within the broken system, thank goodness, for who knows what they would have done with me. Perhaps I would have ended up in jail right then and there!

The court ordered that I be evaluated for mental competency with no factual or circumstantial evidence to support ordering such an action. The lengthy list of people willing to speak on my behalf was never given consideration. The truth was of no consequence because it did not fit the agenda. So many inside and outside of the system have become blinded by arrogance and greed, and work for our adversary to harm innocent people. Some are quite unaware of what they are actually doing, while some participate with full understanding that what they are doing is evil, do it anyway, and enjoy it.

As God would have it, I ended up in the office of a fellow psychologist who worked for the Catholic Church. She felt terrible for the incredible persecution that I and also my children had faced for so long, and wished she had been able to help me earlier. She spoke of the incredibly selfish behavior that is so rampant in society. The good woman wrote a letter to the court, the court accepted it, and the matter was done for the moment. My accuser was proven wrong, and faced no reproach whatsoever.

All it took was one person with unrelenting, misguided rage and a bizarre willingness to spend money on lawyers to issue an accusation. Being the only person with the desire to parent my children, and in the absence of anyone else willing to do the work, I was allowed to return home and proceed with my vocation.

It continues to present itself, this issue of my persecutor threatening to take me to court to have me declared crazy. The court system has done nothing all these years to stop it.

Crazymaking is a tool evil uses to attack holiness in an attempt to discredit good people. This strategy is certainly not new. The faulty logic is that if good people are discredited, then people who do evil things won't have to feel so bad about their evil deeds. People who do not avail themselves of the Sacraments fall victim to our adversary's cunning trickery. Those living in a state of unrepentant mortal sin are Satan's favorites tools in these assaults. Having placed themselves beyond reproach they are unwilling and eventually unable to see evil for what it is, and as their hatred increases, they become more eager to assist in the attacks.

The unchangeable fact is that no matter who is discredited, the truth remains the truth and God sees us for who and what we really are.

We will all stand in judgment before Him one day.

I must say the unfairness was difficult to take for many years, and a genuinely loving soul suffers great sorrow for those who are so deeply corrupted by evil that they face an eternity with Satan in hell if they do not accept God's grace and repent. Sin is very, very ugly. However, tremendous spiritual progress is gained for souls suffering such tremendous and lengthy persecution who unite their wills with God's will, and for that I am most grateful.

Should I be declared crazy by unethical people and thrown in prison, I will continue to serve God, just in a different location. There, I will bring His unfathomably loving goodness to everyone I encounter. Perhaps there I will have even more time to spend with God in prayer and to do penance and pray for my salvation and for the salvation of my persecutor.

THIS IS CATHOLIC COURAGE.

Jesus showed us what Catholic courage is.
The ability to be courageous comes from God.

I want what God wants, and ultimately, He is the decision-maker and the One I trust with my life.
