Father John Jimenez is a dedicated priest, and teacher. He has been in the field for over 20 years. Here is a recent Christmas Season homily, in light of recent events, based on an article by Robert Morrison in The Remnant Newspaper.
The Holy Family encountered contradictions and trials as soon as they entered Bethlehem. 'They entered the town and wandered through many streets in search of lodging. They knocked on many doors, even of family acquaintances. They were met with harsh words and insults.'
Thinking in terms of the Holy Family's search for lodging, this year men and women of good will have been rejected by the various inns of the world more than at any time of our lifetimes. At each door, we knock and say we would like to live our faith fully. What do we hear? The ostensibly Catholic churches tell us their doors are closed and that they cannot provide the sacraments that people need them the most. The Church hierarchy sees our plight, and endorses Joe Biden for president, continues to betray Chinese Catholics, ingratiate themselves with the elite class rather than pastor their people.
Worldwide and national medical professionals tell us to take various actions to protect the health of the vulnerable population, all of which have the diminishes everyone's physical and mental health. The medical profession, rather than 'do no harm', has become an untrustworthy tool of tyranny.
Our government tells us that our votes no longer count. The globalists tell us that our world will no longer tolerate the practice of devout Christianity. Quite simply, the globalists must require us to reject God because otherwise we might have the sense and grace to resist their initiatives.
Yet, moral responsibility requires us to continue to engage in the world as it is. Joseph persevered in the face of contradictions.. Blessed Catherine Emmerich describes St Joseph's distress: 'Joseph came back to her in great distress; he had found no shelter. His friends, of whom he had spoken to the Blessed Virgin, would hardly recognize him. From house to house, he met with even more decided refusals.'
Faced with the reality that the people of Bethlehem refused to provide shelter for the Holy Family in their time of great need, St Joseph recognized that
God must have a purpose for such contradictions.
Though we have some consolation in the consideration that our hardships may have led us closer to virtue, we still have reason to be apprehensive about what comes next. Surely what comes next for each of us will be other opportunities to choose between rejecting God or being rejected by the world. God had chosen from all eternity to lead the Holy Family to the cave which was not deemed worthy for lodging by others. Indeed, St Joseph would not have considered the cave had he not been continuously rejected by all who could provide shelter in Bethlehem. And yet, it is precisely where God wanted the Holy Family to be.
