It is an old story, the Church leadership enamored with a strongman. False piety, imaginary enemies, disregard for friendship only alliance, advantage and acquisition.
We are past the inflection point. There are no shared values only a veneer of values.
I can’t predict the future. It is like a barrel going through an explosive decompression. Damage in every direction and indiscriminately harming the innocent.
I can predict a profound grief the likes of which predate me. I’ll be here. Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” (Isaiah 40:1)
This instruction is in the midst of a great calamity.

We are in the calamity.
It is the Year of Hope. And it is. Or did you think hope is the presage for easy?
Peace,
Deacon Gerry
