"Let not thy peace depend upon the word of men; for whether they judge well or ill of thee, thou art not therefore any other man than thyself. Where is true peace or true glory? Is it not In Me? And he who seeketh Not to please men, Nor feareth to displease, shall enjoy abundant Peace. From inordinate love and vain fear ariseth all disquietude of heart, and all distraction of the senses." ~ "The Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a Kempis, Canon Regular Saint Augustine.

Christian life began in the catacombs, and that is where it shall end. We know this, because the Saints warn us of such a time. St Hippolytus of Rome, writing of the tribulations to come, says: “the Church flees from city to city, and seeks concealment in the wilderness, possessed of no other defence than the wings of the Great Eagle, that is, The Faith of Jesus Christ.” Hippolytus, On Christ and Antichrist
The end *never* justifies the means because the lesser of two evils, is *still* evil. Follow The Way of The Crucified Christ to Live: Forgive All to Love In Truth.

I Forgive you, but I cannot Forgive your sins or Deliver you from the evil that oppresses you; Only God can Who IS Holy and Triune. He has The Power to Set you Free but you must Repent and Be Converted To His Way: The Holy Cross by Forgiving others- Ask Him, He Will Help you. 'Forgive us our trespasses; as we Forgive those who trespass against us.'
Lord Jesus Christ, Sole-Begotten Son of God, have Mercy upon me, a sinner. Let us pray. O God, from Whom All Holy desires, All Good counsels, and All Just works Do Proceed; Give unto Thy Servants that Peace which the world cannot give; so that, with our Hearts In Obedience of Thy Commandments; having been Freed from the fear of the enemy, we may Serve Thee In the Protection of Thy Peace. Through Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord, Who Liveth and Reigneth with Thee, In the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

Satan seeks the consent of a persons Free will to choose evil in order to have a licit claim of dominion over them; to overcome them by evil. For by their consent they are seduced into the temporal powers of iniquity and by the pride of their will to the eternal recompense they chose; to be separated from the Saving Power of the Cross: Holy Humility.

The Sword of Truth is the Justice of God in the Apocalypse. In each life it is accepting the Crucifixion of life in this world to Live as Pilgrims in it for the World to Come; where All is Restored In Perfect Justice and Mercy.
In the Garden of Gethsamene, Our Redeemer; Jesus Christ, told the Apostles to sell and buy swords to Teach them The Way Is the Cross by Living the Sword of His Truth, for He IS Truth: The Word of God.
'For the Word of God IS more Piercing than any two-edged sword a Discerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Heart.' This Sword Convicts the Hearts of All ppl for their sin.
The lesson to St. Peter is to us all, that whoever wills to Follow the Word of God will Suffer the swords of persecution in this world by Living the Sword of Truth to be His Servant; Love God, Love neighbor.
"And He was clothed with a Garment sprinkled with Blood; and His Name IS called, THE WORD OF GOD...These are They who are come out of Great Tribulation, and have Washed their Robes, and have made them White In The Blood of the Lamb..."

Latin translation:
It firmly Believes, Professes, and Proclaims that those not Living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in Eternal Life, but will depart “into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels” (St. Matt. 25:41), unless before the end of life the same have been Added to the Flock; and that the Unity of the Ecclesiastical Body is so strong that Only to those Remaining in it are the Sacraments of the Church of Benefit for Salvation, and do Fastings, Almsgiving, and other functions of Piety and exercises of Christian Service produce Eternal Reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the Name of Christ, can be Saved, unless he has Remained in the Bosom and Unity of the Catholic Church.

The Way to Life is via the Cross of Truth. There are 2 sides to the cross we are asked to carry in life if we choose to follow the Crucified Christ; Forgiveness and Contrition. When we seek to know the truth of our soul before Truth Himself we begin the process of repentance leading to Sanctification and our participation in the Divine Nature of God which is Love. This Love is measured by the Charity we have towards others in living by Truth, including our response to injustices against us, Holy Courage found only in the Power of His Humility. By uniting sorrow for our sins with the Salvific Passion of Christ for the Salvation of others we participate in the Redemptive Suffering of the Redemption He freely gave to all who will to Follow the Way of the Cross. We Mourn the offenses by which we have failed and hurt others and Seek to be Forgiven for what we have no power to restore. The truth of the sincerity of our Contrition is if we use our free will to Forgive those who tresspass against us, this is the test of our will by fire. The Joy of Redemption is that Jesus has the Power to Heal and to Restore what we cannot in Perfect Justice and Mercy. The torment of hell is the 'worm that never dies', the conviction of one's own conscience, conscious of guilt. This guilt goes with us after the separation of the soul from the body (death) to convict us of the truth of our own undeniable will behind the choices we made. "And this isthe judgment: because the Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light: for their works were evil.For every one that doth evil hateth the Light, and cometh not to the Light, that his works may not be reproved."
St. Paul warned of this in his 2nd Epistle, "And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the Love of the Truth, that they might be Saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
That all may be Judged who have not believed the Truth, but have consented to iniquity."
By their own will the Grace of God is withdrawn from them to suffer the consequences of every deception they willed to recieve in intellect because they consented to it in the malice of their own will.
Forgive us our trespasses as we Forgive those who trespass against us.
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison.

The poor in spirit, i.e. the truly Humble, will Mourn for their transgressions, and whoever is filled with Sorrow for his own sins behaves to others with Meekness and Clemency. The Pure and Clean of heart are possessed of these Virtues to be Just. Where Peace of Conscience Reigns it cannot be expelled from the soul by any tribulations, persecutions, or injustices of men. What is this poverty of spirit, but Humility andContrition? This Virtue of Humility is placed in the first place, because it is the foundation of every other Virtue, as pride is of every vice. Pride deprived our first parents of their Original Innocence, and nothing but Humility can restore us to our former Purity. We may pray and fast, we may be possessed of Mercy, Chastity, or any Virtues, if Humility does not accompany them, they will be like the virtue of the Pharisee, Without foundation, Without fruit. ~ St. Chrysostom, Hom. xv.

Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans Chapter ll
The Jews are censured, who make their boast of the law and keep it not. He declares who are the true Jews.
[1]Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest.[2]For we know that the Judgment of God is, according to Truth, against them that do such things.[3]And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the Judgment of God?[4]Or despisest thou the riches of His Goodness, and Patience, and Longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the Benignity of God leadeth thee to Penance?[5]But according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou treasurest up to thyself wrath, against the day of wrath, and revelation of the Just Judgment of God.
[6]Who will render to every man according to his works.[7]To them indeed, who according to Patience in Good work, seek Glory and Honour and Incorruption, Eternal Life:[8]But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the Truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.[9]Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.[10]But Glory, and Honour, and Peace to every one that worketh Good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
[11]For there is no respect of persons with God.[12]For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish without the law; and whosoever have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law.[13]For not the hearers of the law are Just before God, but the doers of the law shall be Justified.[14]For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law are a law to themselves:[15]Who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one another,
[16]In the day when God shall Judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.[17]But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,[18]And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,[19]Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,[20]An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of Knowledge and of Truth in the law.
[21]Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:[22]Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:[23]Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.[24]For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.[25]Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
[26]If, then, the uncircumcised keep the Justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?[27]And shall not that which by nature is uncircumcision, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?[28]For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:[29]But he is a Jew, that is one Inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the Heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose Praise is not of men, but of God.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily Bread; and Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
“Lord, Teach us to pray,” The Oratio Dominica, the Lord’s Prayer is the summary of the whole Gospel. The full meaning of the Our Father is revealed in the Blessed Sacrament.
***
Endeavour to act as becomes a Child of God; that is to say, see that your prayers and actions are never unworthy of that Divine origin with which He has been pleased in His infinite bounty to ennoble you. It is to the discharge of this duty that the Apostle exhorts us when he says: Be ye therefore imitators of God as most dear children, so that what the Apostle wrote to the Thessalonians may be truly said of us: You are all the Children of Light, and the Children of the Day. - Roman Catechism
***
The Sixth Petition: And lead us not into temptation: It is one thing to be led into temptation, another to be tempted; for without temptation none can be approved, either to himself or to another; but every man is fully known to God before all trial. Therefore we do not here pray that we may not be tempted, but that we may not be led into temptation. For God does not of Himself lead a man, but suffer him to be led from whom He has withdrawn His aid. What we ask is, that we may not, deserted by His aid, either consent through the subtle snares, or yield to the forcible might, or any temptation; therefore it is God that turns men to the Faith, giving them Perseverance even unto the end. - St. Augustine
***
Our Lord used the word forgive because He was innocent and knew all, but we must use it for other reasons. Firstly, because we have been forgiven greater sins by God. Secondly, because only by forgiving can hate be banished from the world. And thirdly, because our own pardon is conditioned by the pardon we extend to others. Firstly, we must forgive others because God has Forgiven us. And if we do not forgive the sins of our enemies, it is very likely because we have never cast up our accounts with God. A second reason for forgiving those who make us suffer unjustly is that if we do not forgive, hate will multiply until the whole world is hateful. "I forgive; I refuse to hate you. If I hate you, I will add my quota to the sum total of hate. This I refuse to do. I will kill your hate; I will drive it from the earth. I will Love you." Finally, we must forgive others, for on no other condition will our own sins be forgiven. In fact, it is almost a moral impossibility for God to Forgive us unless we, in turn, forgive. Has He not said: “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain Mercy” ...“forgive, and you shall be Forgiven...give, and it shall be Given unto you. . . . For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again." The Law is inescapable. Unless we sow, we shall not reap; unless we show mercy to our fellow men, God will revoke His Mercy toward us. As in the parable, the master canceled the forgiveness of the servant because he refused to show a smaller mercy to his fellowman, “so also shall my Heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts." If a box is filled with salt, it cannot be filled with sand, and if our hearts are filled with hatred of our neighbor, how can God fill them with His Love? It is just as simple as that. There can be, and there will be, no Mercy toward us unless we ourselves are merciful. The real test of the Christian, then, is not how much he Loves his friends, but how much he Loves his enemies. - Ven. Fulton J. Sheen
He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt. Before man is Life and death, Good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: For the Wisdom of God is Great, and He is Strong in Power, seeing All men without ceasing. The eyes of the Lord are towards them that Fear Him, and He knoweth All the work of man. He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin.

Translation:
With Thee is the Principality in the day of Thy strength: In the brightness of the Saints: From the womb before the day star I begot Thee. The Lord will send forth the sceptre of Thy power out of Sion: Rule Thou in the midst of Thy enemies. The Lord said unto me, “Thou art my Son; today I have begotten Thee.” Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations: That we may give thanks to Thy holy Name, and may glory in Thy praise. Thou, O Lord, our Father and our Redeemer: From everlasting is Thy Name. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless His holy Name. With Thee is the Principality in the day of Thy strength: In the brightness of the Saints: From the womb before the day star I begot Thee. The Lord will send forth the Sceptre of Thy power out of Sion: Rule Thou in the midst of Thy enemies.
~ The phrase ‘ante luciferum’ has a level of meaning whereby it refers to Lucifer, the devil. The meaning here is that God’s only Son was begotten in eternity, before the Angels were created, before the Angels fell from grace, before Lucifer (the light-bearer) became Satan (the adversary). The phrase ‘ex utero’ does not mean ‘from the womb,’ but has more of the meaning of ‘from conception.’ The word ‘utero’ is often used in Latin to refer to the generative capability (the ability to bring about conception) of men and women. In this case, it refers to the generative capability of the Father to give rise to the Son by procession.
