This -below- is interesting… think about… just a moment… what a time …

 

(b.t.w. please don’t think I’m a ‚catholic’ … surely there are no ‘catholics’ or ‘protestants’ or ‘orthodox’ at all ‘in heaven’ … I like to be one of His saved, saints by His Grace, saved by His Blood…

Eph 1:4	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5	Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6	To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Eph 1:7	In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Eph 1:8	Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Eph 1:9	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10	That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him…)

“…And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more” (2 Kings 2, 11-12). This episode from the Old Testament echoes the emotions of the Catholic world on Thursday 28 February, as we saw a white helicopter lift our dear Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI into the clouds, never again to be seen as our Supreme Pastor. Like Eliseus, we had been told of the pending ‘assumption’ of our guide and father, and like him we had counted the hours, as filial sadness blossomed in our hearts, thinking: “Does this have to happen? Why must he go? Can it not be avoided, or at least postponed? How will we ever manage without him?”

 

There will be time to ponder the consequences of this resignation. Meanwhile, the current interregnum teaches us anew that as the pope is the visible head of the Church, Our Lord Jesus Christ is her invisible head; and while the visible head does change when a pontiff dies (or resigns), Our Lord never ceases to govern His beloved Church, although invisibly….”
