“THE world lives immersed in a gigantic lie and in immense collective madness and blindness, in an absurd and banal fiction that it constructs in its suicidal zeal to banish and separate God from the world and everything that vaguely recalls God. The world is horrified at the thought that there is an infinitely holy and just God who sees and judges all, a God who loves truth and virtue and hates lies and vice, because deep down the world knows it is in error and darkness, but it does not want to be rebuked because it has been, is, and always will be proud and murderous like its prince, the devil. That is why the world hates the light of God, because it feels sinful and knows that its works are not good, so it never approaches the Truth, which is Jesus Christ, so as not to be repressed and condemned for its wickedness and duplicity.
“The world does not understand the things of God; it cannot comprehend the holy Word of God, much less the mystery of the Cross, which to it is foolishness and a scandal. That is why Our Lord warns us not to cast holy things to dogs and pigs: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces” (Matthew 7:6). For the Gospel is a seed and should not be given by force to those whose spirits are ill-disposed by pride, for we would only succeed in causing them to profane it and increase their hatred. Because, as Saint John of the Cross says, only those who, denying their desires, prepare themselves to receive the Spirit, are given the grace to feed on it. These dogs and pigs are worldly, carnal, materialistic, sensual people who do not know God nor can receive His Spirit because they are closed to the Word of God and the life of grace. They live only to satisfy their senses and disordered appetites. That is why it is useless to preach to them and speak to them about God, because however sad and tragic it may seem to us, these poor people will not understand and will trample underfoot the word we bring them from God. That is, they will reject it and take it as absurd and scandalous. And what is worse, they will even become indignant and enraged against those of us who bring them this blessed Word and try to correct them for their own good. They will try to tear us to pieces, even taking our lives if they could, as has happened with so many Saints, Martyrs, and Virgins who died violently for confessing the Holy Name of God and for bearing witness to their Faith rather than conform to the world and its perversity, which would have meant denying and apostatizing from God. One and Triune.”
