Dear brothers and sisters, this prayer that the Church puts in St. mass, teaches us on the one hand about the great humility of God and on the other hand the great dignity of the human family. Our Lord chose the family as the place in which he wanted to be born. He wanted to have an earthly mother and he wanted this one to have an earthly bridegroom, St. Josephs. The Lord wanted to live a hidden life in this family for thirty years and voluntarily wanted to be nourished and educated in his most holy humanity so that he would be as similar as possible to us humans.

What was the meaning of this time? It wasn’t because Christ needed it. He himself is the one who gave all the meaning and all the virtues of the home of Mary and Joseph – could not really learn anything from them because he possesses the highest perfection. He chose family life to show us the importance of family, because family is the place where children are born and where they prepare for their mission in life, similarly, how Jesus himself was preparing.

Let’s notice what order reigned in the holy Family. At its center stood Christ, who gave the family its own meaning. Virgin Mary and St. Joseph lived in a true marriage, it was completely penetrated by a supernatural spirit, but it existed because of the child Jesus. Both led a family life, worked, took care of the household – because of the divine child Jesus. God’s word about marriage is beautifully fulfilled on them: „And there will be two in one body.“ This only „telom“ was the incarnate Word, Jesus Christ. He connected them.

If we consider each and every one of the members of St. Families, neither was equal to the other. Christ – God, Virgin Mary – without original sin chosen as the mother of God, St. Joseph – righteous, attentive, perfectly subject to God and his mother. Nevertheless, she ruled in St. The family’s wonderful unity, harmony, overflowed with the fullness of love, immense tact and attention to each other. Because it was important to all that he loved in the other what was Divine.

This is also proven by today’s gospel, in which we hear that the boy Jesus disappeared from Mary and Joseph’s sight and they could not find him for three days. How much anxiety did both holy parents experience? They lost Jesus. What could be worse? When they found him sitting among the scholars, they themselves will receive divine instruction: „Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I should be where my Father is concerned?“ And the evangelist adds: „But they did not understand the answer he gave them.“ But still „im was obedient“ and his mother „nad thought about all this.“

This is a wonderful example of humility and love. No one accuses anyone, loves and seeks, thinks to see in another what is Divine. This is a true example. Although the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph possessed special graces and gifts, they were not detached from life, and therefore it is not right for us to romanticize them, as if they were living a fairy-tale life, different from ours. They were like us in everything – except sin. And that is a fundamental truth. If people want to live in families, similar to St. To the family, it is important for them that each and every member of the family draws from the sacraments, lives constantly in sanctifying grace. Because it is sin that destroys the hearts of individuals until it finally destroys entire families. Especially the sin of pride – reluctance to admit failure, weakness, constant ranting about this or that.

The basis is the crisis of marriage. Many young people join the family as individualists, longing for the fulfillment of their own dreams. They often look at their spouse as the „ filler of my happiness“. They do not accept the fact that they do not become spouses for themselves, but for others. St. Thomas teaches that the first goal of marriage is openness to life – to bring children into the world. The second goal is mutual conjugal love and help in worrying about children and each other. Both spouses should live virtuously – build good habits – and raise children in this way as well. That’s the meaning of marriage.

Conjugal love is a specific kind of friendly love and this love grows when both „everything together share“, but especially what is difficult. But what does it mean to truly love another? St. Tomáš says that in true love it is about „to love in the other what is Divine (…) to love the other in God.“ In this sense, it is necessary to love in the other what is good, virtuous. Not one of the spouses can love in the other what is bad, what is vice-like, or downright sinful, as well as bad habits and mistakes. Here they are both helping each other. Vices, mistakes and sins should help to reveal, tactfully and lovingly name and help to eliminate them.

However, Christian spouses know that their marriage, which alone is the framework of the common life of a man and a woman – no other cohabitation, no other forms, all of them are not virtuous, they are sinful and therefore do not lead to true happiness – that this Christian marriage is deeply connected with the most holy sacrifice of our Lord. Therefore, both must return to the sacrifice of St. mass, regularly confess your sins with humility in St. confession. In this way, it is actually as if their marriage vows and obligations are renewed, they get help and strength for family life. Only through the help of the grace of God can they properly raise children. They are a joyful gift from the Lord, not a burden. Parents should have their children baptized as soon as possible, not wait for a suitable moment, for a family celebration. Supernatural life is more than worldly joys. Parents then teach children prayer first and foremost, they are the first heralds of the faith.

Dear parents, are you telling your children about God? Do you pray with them? Now that children spend a lot of time at home, are you investigating whether they also know the truths of faith? Do you have many conversations, this also includes conversations about our holy faith, spiritual life, sacraments, the person of the divine Savior? You are the first teachers of religion. That is your serious duty. This will one day be required of you in the last judgment. From this springs virtuous education. Teaching children virtues means teaching them magnanimity, not egoism, teaching them to admit a mistake, because it is bad, not to be happy that the child cleverly hid the mistake and no one revealed it. Teaching children responsibility, not superficiality. Parents should not smile at children’s „malých“ or „zlatých“ mistakes. They should correct them with love, because they should also love what is God’s in them.

It should not be forgotten to draw children’s attention to the choice of profession – even for this clergyman. Parents can and should consciously lead children to choose the priesthood or consecrated life. Finally, there are families over whom, despite their good will, dark clouds of difficulties, disagreements, malice, personal mistakes and injuries spread. Here the divine medicine of the sacraments and the closeness of friendly families are most needed. To him who sincerely wants and asks, the Lord will never refuse help and the necessary grace.

Today, especially, dear brothers and sisters, let’s ask for families – for our own, for families in trouble, and for young families. So that they always look at St. Family as your role model. Virgin Mary, queen of the family, pray for us. St. Joseph, protector of St. Churches and families, pray for us.

What is wisdom? Wisdom is not learning – it does not need to know the answer to all questions. Wisdom is special knowledge that requires a particular experience, and its subject is not only temporal things but rather God himself and things related to man’s eternal destination. But it is not only a love for God, a love to do something for God and eternity, but also for good in earthly life. Wisdom is the choice of not prioritizing anyone or anything before God. Let us pray that amid this world’s earthly things, our hearts will be fixed on heaven, where we will find true joy. In the light of Christian experience, a wise man preserves the primacy of God and spirit in all circumstances and does not prefer the transitory to the eternal. 

When the glass is full, nothing can be poured into it. Whoever lives for money, power, and glory, the desire for God will no longer fit there. He who is full of passion for alcohol, sex, drugs, and games cannot be filled with God’s presence. Jesus emphasizes: „ If you do not renounce all that you have, you cannot be my disciples” (Lk 14, 33). What I am filled with is what I am: an alcoholic with alcohol, a miser with money, a lazy person with comfort, a sensualist with unbelief… We receive tutorials on „true wisdom” from various „thinkers.” However, only God gives true wisdom. The most incredible wisdom is knowing the goal and meaning of your life here on earth and in the future and taking a stance on values that are not subject to any devaluation.

Every day, we make deposits to our „spiritual account.” Life connected with God encourages us to do so, and the saints encourage us. It „can ” does not collect euros or securities but requires a state of love and sanctifying grace so that we have the right to deposits, such as St. Francis discovered in poverty, St. Ignatius of Loyola in allegiance to the Pope, St. Vincent de Paul in Charity, Vol—Monika in prayer for her son or St. Gianna Brett-Moll in giving life to her child. A new school year begins. I ask students and everyone for the gift of the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.

The Praise of Wisdom – that’s how we could define the Book of Sirach, from which we read for continuation. Emphasizes the need to „be smart. “ But, be wise when we do stupid things many times. And that is often entirely unexpected. The first reading also gives us a recipe: …push God and don’t let him make you wise. The apostles were stuck with Jesus, and yet they acted very stupidly. The Lord says: The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and the apostles argued among themselves on the way as to which of them was more remarkable. Foolish attitude. What will help with wisdom?

Let’s analyze ourselves first: We often encounter problems with easy solutions. E.g., recognize when thrift goes into stinginess. When is loneliness, and when is society an escape from the will of God? The problem is distinguishing whether the motive for the activity is good zeal, or whether it is a well-disguised ambition, whether to pray, or whether it is necessary to do something, whether something only serves our hobbies, and whether we need it for the family… Whoever wants to fulfill God’s appointed task must solve various dilemmas daily. To do this, it is not enough to rule. You also need to know. That is why it is said in the Scriptures: “Wisdom is better than strength. (Eccl. 9,16).

Let’s ask ourselves: What wise have I seen in others? We might remember how someone cleverly came to the money, got an inheritance, and got cut out of something… Is it wisdom? Everyone is this wise for themselves. Even a tiny child can trample or “cry” his! That’s not wisdom, that’s selfishness! So, we can almost say that wise is what is not selfish. And here we come to what St. Paul calls folly (see 1. Cor 1,18-21). Yes, St. Paul considers wisdom to be different from what we imagine. Let’s compare what he writes about it next: Let no one lie to himself! If any of you think he is wise at this age, let him become a fool to be wise.

Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God, it is written: „On catches the wise in their cleverness” (1 Cor 3, 18-19). He who does not think he is wise seems to be wise. It isn’t easy to live with little mental ability. The worst thing is if someone is so limited that they overlook their limitations. He desperately wants to prove superiority over others. And when reason is not enough, it reaches for other means. That is the field for intrigue and violence.

An example can be the stoning of St. Stefan. Those who could not resist his wisdom (Sk 6,10) argued with rocks. As soon as we get upset, for example, we lack wisdom.

 An able person has less chance of adequately solving the dilemmas we mentioned initially. And like every poor person, he is mainly subject to envy. But he can also falsely humbly retreat, not dare to do the desired tasks. However, he should follow the advice of St. James: „ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and he will receive it. But let him ask with faith and without doubt“ (Jam. 10,19). The Lord’s assurance that „ will be given to us at that moment“ (Mt 10,19) is undoubtedly not meant to promote convenience. It applies in situations that, through no fault of ours, exceed our capabilities.

V The book of Proverbs says: „U of those who take advice is wisdom (Proverbs 13:10). However, this requires a piece of humility that everyone needs equally. Perhaps even more capable ones. The dangers of high IQ and extensive knowledge are mainly prided, conceit, superiority, and contempt. „Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and reasonable in front of themselves! (Isaiah 5, 21).

 Can we develop mental abilities? A person can and should develop cognitive skills within a genetically given limit. The irony is that although a high IQ enables knowledge of a high degree, it is enough for few to know the most prominent and eye-catching truth, that God is the owner and giver of all intelligence. Before his intelligence, we are all equally pathetic. IQ 70, 100, and 140 seem very different from our point of view, but there are negligible differences between them, like a height difference of a few hundred meters concerning the sun. The feeling of superiority of the more capable over the less capable is not justified, yet it often occurs in all forms.

Matthew is always on the twelve chosen by Jesus (com. Mt 10.3; Mk 3.18; Lk 6.15; Sk 1.13). Its Hebrew name means “gift Yahveh “. The first canonical Gospel that bears his name presents us with an exact designation: “mythic “(Mt 10,3). In this way, he is identified with a person who sits at the toll booth and whom Jesus invites to follow him: “When Jesus left there, he saw a person named Matthew sitting on the toll booth and said to him: “Come see me!” He got up and followed him “(Mt 9.9). Also, Marek (com. 2,13-17) and Luke (com. 5, 27-30) mention the profession of the publican but call it “Levi “. “From this memory, a certain doubt was born in the identification of the apostle Matthew with the publican Levi. This identification is specific to the first Gospel because it attaches the name “Matthew “to the designation “mythic. “To imagine the scene described in the ninth chapter and the ninth verse of Matthew’s Gospel, it is enough to recall the beautiful image of Caravaggio, which is kept here in Rome in the Church of St. Louis of France.

We find another biographical feature in the Gospels: the narrative of Matthew’s calling is preceded by a scene about the miracle of Jesus performed in Capernaum (com. Mt 9.1-8; Mk 2.1-12) and the proximity of the Sea of Galilee, i.e. Lake Tiberias (com, is mentioned. Mk 2,13-14). We can conclude that Matthew was a tax collector in Capernaum, located” by the coast “(Mt 4,13), where Jesus was a constant guest in Peter’s house. Based on these simple findings, we can continue our thinking. The first is that Jesus accepted into the group of his closest people, who, according to the Jewish traditional understanding at that time, were considered a public sinner. Matthew not only managed money that was considered impure because of its origin from people alien to God’s people but also worked with foreign representatives, the ones who were hated because of their greed and whose contributions could also be fixed arbitrarily.

For these reasons, the Gospels speak unanimously several times about “mythnics and sinners “(Mt 9.10; Lk 15.1) and “mythnics and prostitutes “(Mt 21.31). In addition, they see an example of pettiness in tollbooths (por. Mt 5.46: they love only those who love them) and mention one of them, Zacchaeus, as the “chief publican, very rich “(Lk 19.2), while popular opinion called them “blackmailers, unjust and adulterers “(Lk 18,11). Based on these allusions, the first fact that appears before our eyes is that Jesus does not exclude anyone from his friendship. On the contrary, when he is at the table in the house of Matthew-Lévi, whoever spoke about the scandal that he is meeting unsuitable people responds with this significant statement: “The healthy do not need a doctor, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners “(Mk 2,17).

The Gospel’s correct proclamation involves offering God’s grace to the sinner! In the famous parable of the Pharisee and the publican who came to pray in the temple, Jesus even refers to the anonymous publican as a valuable example of humiliated trust in God’s mercy. Meanwhile, the Pharisee boasts of his moral perfection. “The mythical man stood at the very back and did not even dare to raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breasts and said: God, be merciful to me sinful mu. “And Jesus comments like this: “I tell you: This one went home justified, and not that one. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted “(Lk 18,13-14). In the person of Matthew, the Gospels, therefore, offer us a fundamental paradox: those who are outwardly far from holiness can even become a model of accepting God’s mercy and thus show its effect on their own lives.

In this context, St. John Chrysostom draws attention to one crucial fact: he notes that in the narratives about the vocation of the apostles, only some mention the work that the persons in question performed. Peter, Ondrej, Jakub, and Ján are called when fishing, and Matthew when he collects taxes. These are jobs that don’t carry much weight – states Chrysostom – “because there is no more disgusting job than collecting tolls and nothing more ordinary than catching fish “(In Matth. Hom.: PL 57, 363). Therefore, Jesus’ call is also intended for people in the lower ranks of the social ladder while waiting for daily work. Another idea from the Gospel narrative is that Matthew immediately answered Jesus’ call: “he got up and followed him “. The shortness of the phrase highlights Matthew’s readiness to answer the call.

For him, this means abandoning everything, especially what guaranteed him a safe income, even if he was often undeserved and dishonest. Matthew understood that intimacy with Jesus did not allow him to maintain an activity God disagreed with. It is very easy to apply this closure to the present. Even today, clinging to things that do not combine with following Jesus is not permissible, as is the case with dishonest wealth. He once bluntly said: “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me! “(Mt 19,21) This is precisely what Matthew did: he got up and followed him! We can understand the word “vital “as moving away from sin and, at the same time, consciously clinging to a new existence. It was not by chance that the evangelist used the Greek verb anastás. The same verb expresses Jesus’ resurrection in another place in the New Testament!

Finally, let us recall that the tradition of the ancient Church agrees that it attributes authorship of the first Gospel to Matthew. We already find it with Bishop Papiah of Gerapoli in Frigia, who wrote around 130: “Matthew collected the words (Lord) in the Hebrew language and translated each as ved “(in Eusebio di Cesarea, Hist. Eccle. III,39,16). Historian Eusebius adds this message: “When Matthew, who first preached among the Jews, decided to go to other nations, he wrote the Gospel in his native language, which he also proclaimed; so he tried to replace in writing those he left with what they were losing with his departure “(ibid., III, 24.6). We no longer have the Gospel that Matthew wrote in Hebrew or Aramaic, but in the Greek Gospel that we have, we can, in a certain way, hear the convincing voice of the publican Matthew, who, when he became an apostle, continued to proclaim God’s saving mercy. Let us listen to this message of Saint Matthew and meditate on it constantly so that we too may learn to rise and follow Jesus firmly”.

What does God think of us? … ↔ „A FOR WHOM do you think I am?“ (Mt 16,15) Jesus addresses these words to his disciples and in them to each of us. He wants to know the image we have created about him, our thoughts, and our feelings because they will be necessary for our lives. „ The Christian life does not lead us to identify with any idea, but with a person: Jesus Christ. So that faith illuminates our steps, except we will ask: who is Jesus Christ for me? Let us think: who am I for Jesus Christ? This is how we discover the gifts the Lord has given us that are directly related to our mission.

It is the same question that Saint Peter heard from the mouth of Christ. The apostles, who shared the Master’s mission, understood how much he counted on them. „Let people see from it,“ says St. Bernard, „how great is God’s care for them; let them know what God thinks and feels about them. Please do not ask, you who are human, what you suffered, but what he suffered. From everything he has suffered for you, deduce how much he respects you so you will be shown his goodness. There is no risk of exaggeration when dreaming about what God feels and thinks about us. We will always be inadequate. The words of St. Paul will probably come to mind: „Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered the human heart“ (1 Cor 2, 9).

The visible basis of unity in the Church … ↔ PETER ALWAYS, he comes to the disciples’ aid. This time, he reveals the divinity of Jesus with such clarity that the Lord praises him after hearing it: „ Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood, did not reveal it to you, but my Father, which is in heaven“ (Mt 16, 17). We celebrate the feast of St. Peter’s Department; it may be a good time to thank God for caring for his Church and for establishing the visible foundation of its unity, the rock on which it is to stand: „And I say to you: You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it“ (Mt 16, 18).

„The Roman High Priest as Peter’s successor is a constant and visible principle and basis of the unity of bishops and the multitude of believers“. Jesus tells Peter who he is for God. And the moment he makes this statement, the Lord knows his apostle perfectly: he knows what he is like, how he reacts, how he thinks, how he loves him. He chose it even before the creation of the world. „ Where did it come from that these twelve men, uneducated, living by lakes, rivers and deserts, undertook a work of such grand proportions and stood up to the whole world? They, who have certainly never been to the city and never appeared in public?“, asks Saint John Chrysostom. „And all the more so when we realize that they were timid and fearful, as we know from the description of the evangelist, who did not want to hide their mistakes. The exact help of God that made Peter a rock continues to affect his successors and the whole Church.

Helping the Pope of Rome with prayer … ↔ ROMAN POPE counts on our prayers for his person and intentions. „ You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God“ (Mt 16, 6) were the words of Saint Peter on this day. Our faith rests on Jesus, who leads us to the Father. Remarkably, God has called us to participate with him in the mission of the Church. He counts on us; no one is useless.

In a letter to a cardinal, Saint Josemaría confessed his belief that his prayer could help the Pope and the Church: „Praying is the only thing I can do. My poor service to the Church is limited to this. And whenever I realize my limitations, I feel full of strength because I know and feel that God does everything“. „A mighty weapon“, the founder of Opus Dei also regularly used to help the Church, is the Holy Rosary. „For years on the street,“ said, „ I pray every day and continue to pray part of the rosary for the noble person and intentions of the Roman Pope. “

In addition to praying for his person and intentions, Saint Josemaría followed the teachings of the Roman Pope throughout his life and always looked for ways to show him his love. Likewise, all of us Christians try to be very close to Peter, even if sometimes we do not understand something, either in his words or deeds. And if the latter should happen – that we do not understand him in anything – we, the children of the Church, owe „religious consent of understanding and will“‚ to his teaching, and that is why we do not express ourselves negatively about him, as it can hurt the unity of Christ’s body.

We can turn to Mary, the mother of the Church, to protect the Pope, take care of him, and make him very happy: „Mary constantly builds the Church, unites it, keeps it cohesive. Hardly anyone can have true respect for the Virgin Mary if at the same time, he does not feel more firmly bound to the other members of this Mystical Body, more closely united with its visible head, the Pope. That’s why I like to repeat: omnes cum Petro ad Iesum per Mariam! – all with Peter to Jesus through Mary!“.

 Some words or challenges sound absurd, and we cannot even imagine how they can be implemented. We also find such words and challenges in the Holy Scriptures. Today’s gospel also offers us one such challenge: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who humiliate you! Maybe many will be darkened in front of their eyes at this moment. Love enemies? Should I repay the one who hates me with good? Is it normal? The first who did not understand it at all were Jesus’ disciples. The Pharisees and scribes followed opposite principles, and it was these that Jesus tried to refute.

We must forget that the term neighbor was understood in the Old Testament as a member of the chosen nation. Ceremonial distance had to be maintained towards the Gentiles, while curses or destruction of the enemy nation with everything that belonged to it were not rare. Therefore, we cannot even be surprised that Jesus encounters so much misunderstanding because his words alone sounded scandalous to many. But let’s be honest: even if we do not listen to Jesus’ words about forgiving enemies with enthusiasm, we can apply them in life much less. We encounter anger and hatred in contact with unknown people and, unfortunately, among those closest to us. We see this in irreconcilable married couples who separate a few months after marriage, as well as in divorced parents with children or siblings, often moved to life and death.

Blood vengeance had its roots not only among primitive nations but even today, after two thousand years of Christianity, it flourishes in more sophisticated forms to the chagrin of believers and non-believers. Let’s mention different mafia groups, nationalism, class hatred… Even life, a neighbor’s good name, and respect for people of a different skin, religion, or race mean nothing to these people. Jesus’ words about love, about loving those who do us harm, those who hate and persecute us, must sound disturbing to them. Have we noticed the reasons Jesus gives for this form of love? So your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High because he is good even to the ungrateful and the wicked. Because with what measure you measure, it will be measured to you. And he trampled on these words in the prayer that he taught us, and we pray it several times every day: Father, forgive us our trespasses, as we also forgive our trespassers.

Since we listen to these words, it seems unbelievable that one day, they will find an echo in all human hearts, and all people will start acting on them. However, for us believers, it should not be a utopia but an ideal for which we should decide because Jesus did not remain only with words when proclaiming the law of love. Still, on the cross, he sealed him with a prayer for those who hated him: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do—according to this example of Jesus, Saint Stephen, the apostles, and thousands of other men, women, and children, whose blood became the seed of the new Christians, died with forgiveness on their lips.

The Russian World War was coming to an end. American pilot William flew a reconnaissance plane over a small island in the Pacific Ocean, where he searched for American soldiers who the Japanese had captured. However, he got into an air vortex, so the plane became uncontrollable, so he strove for at least the softest possible impact. He managed to soften the effect with a glide motion, but it threw him out of the cabin. He was hurt and knocked unconscious.

Furthermore, he didn’t know how long he had been unconscious. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, opened his eyes, and saw a Japanese soldier bending over him. He closed his eyes and waited for a shot. However, he did not come, and he felt a pleasant cold on his forehead, which was a wet scarf, and he smelled a water bottle in his mouth. He opened his eyes wide and saw that something had fallen to the ground from the Japanese’s pocket. When he looked better, he saw the rosary. He thought: He’s Catholic and has a cross chain around his neck that his mom gave him. They smiled at each other, and William knew he was protected. Although they had different uniforms and human malice pitted them against each other to kill each other, they were sons of the same Father and brothers of Jesus Christ. They shook hands, and all traces of hatred disappeared from their hearts.

We, instructed by this true story, let us realize that now it is our turn to be able to forgive and give the day of love to the generations that will come after us. When shaking hands during this Holy Mass, let’s be aware that the person sitting next to me is my brother or sister.

In one of your works, he notices the people around him and what they believe—what indeed they believe in their hearts and minds—and divides them into four characteristic groups. One is Christianity, and the remaining three are subgroups of atheism, from ultra-right to ultra-left „religions, “ as Lynch describes them.

Lynch has long been convinced that the Western world today is at the level of the fall of the Roman Empire. „After the fall of Rome, it flooded The Middle East is an ocean of religions and mystical teachings, but Christianity has crushed them all,“ says a sociologist.

Today, the same applies – the modern world is flooded with an ocean of religions and pseudo-religious views. Still, there are only four tremendous and important religious directions, of which „winner he finally marries everything. “ The world will continue to go in whichever direction it can take to defeat the rest.

Darwinists

According to Rudyard Lynch, the first religious group in our society consisted of the so-called „Darwinisti “. In society, they make up about 10 percent of the population, and their name somewhat indicates what they are. „ They are social outsiders,“ says Lynch. They are people who believe that „a more vigorous civilization will finally absorb a weaker one here, “ and mass extermination, even on a large scale, would not burden their souls too much, but rather the opposite. „Why not be a Nazi?“ this group talks to each other, saying that the world is so-or-so „brutale.e. loc“.

They are primarily young, vital people, mostly visitors to fitness centers and various physical activities, who try to „ in their minds and conversations rationalize the possibility of killing“.

„They are the least Christian people from all groups,“ explains Lynch. They are pure atheists. „And when they do not believe in the existence of the soul, mass killing is rational for themou optionouch.“ They are people who will always mock those who are not like them.

However, Darwinists also have their progressivist part. Lynch refers to this group of individuals as a „suicidal nihilistic death cult. “ So apparently it’s a quasi-death metaller waiting for some apocalyptic event where they could „rage“ (understand: kill)<TAG1> until someone stabs them with something – and that would be the perfect end to their still meaningless and aimless life ( perhaps something like Breivika).

A Nazi lordly empire is probably a good idea of what such a world would look like if all their most secret dreams were fulfilled for Darwinists.

Machine worshippers

According to Lynch, another prominent religious group in Western society is the so-called „worshippers of machines“ (machine worshippers). These „techno utopisti“ make up about 15 percent of the population and are the only group that still believes in the idea that advanced. “ „They think that we are before a new beginning in human history – call it „singularity, “literally „new dawn. “ Slovak Wikipedia describes this focal point of machine worshipers as follows:

„Technological singularity in futurology, cybernetics, modern mythology and scientific-fantastic literature, it is the designation of a hypothetical state when, usually with the help of artificial intelligence or by connecting the human brain with a computer, entities with intelligence exceeding human intelligence are created, which will rapidly accelerate technological progress far beyond the ability of people to participate meaningfully.“

In other words, powerful machines will produce even more powerful machines.

According to this group of people, this is a great idea. „ They laugh at religion and at the same time have fallen into their own,“ alerts Rudyard Lynch. They expect a more perfect world through technology and – now beware! – „they see it as a new stage of evolution“ (!).

That’s right: machine worshipers, like Darwinists, fully believe in evolution. However, unlike the first religious group, this second perceives that „evolution advances“ and its next level will be „fusion of man and machine“.

One such „pioneer“ (vo own oči) is also Yuval Harari, a henchman of Klaus Schwab from the World Economic Forum (WEF), which we are already about they wrote several times about his crazy thoughts. Harari commented in a 2021 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that „we’ll soon be able to remake our bodies and brains, either by genetic engineering or by connecting the brain directly to the computer…, these technologies are evolving at an enormous rate.“

Truly amazing.

„Nothing for them it is not sacred; human nature they consider for nothing. “ The sociologist further points out that people from this group are highly innovative and creative but also arrogant – „and that’s why everyone hates them “.

„Their god is false,“ continues Lynch. „Everything they do, they do only to gain more power.“

You can stand by that proverbial „innovativeness and creativity“ of these people, who are 10 moves ahead of others, and ask if they result from certain (same) occult practices as they begin to indicate various testimonies to us.

The world these individuals would create if they won the war of four religions would be pure techno horror. Conservative author John Davidson, who wrote a book about techno utopians, states of their resulting product:

„You can dress paganism in the guise of Silicon Valley to achieve a gilded semblance of plausibility and technological maturity, but pagan society will ultimately bring only what it always does: oppression, exploitation and slavery on a mass scale. They will call it anything other than posthumanism or transhumanism. But the suffering that such a world will bring to humanity will be old familiar – and 100 percent human.“

Marxists

Roughly a quarter of people in Western society believe in their hearts and minds in Karl Marx’s old well-known pseudo-religion, Marxism. Marxism „ brought more people to death than all other religions combined,“ summarizes this belief, Lynch. It’s called „a long march through the institutions, “ and it is one of those „conspirations“ that turned out to be 100 percent true. Na English Wikipedia, we will read:

„The long march of the institution amid (nem. der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen) is a slogan coined by socialist student activist Rudi Dutschke around 1967 to describe his strategy to achieve radical change in government by (idea marxism) it will become part of it.“

Today, it is even starting to appear that even the „hon on witches“ ( hidden communist infiltrators inside the American government) Senator McCarthy from the 1950s was justified. The fact that the USSR obtained plans for the atomic bomb precisely from communist „sympathizers“ and informants involved directly in the top secret project of its development is also considered proven. When Marxists could infiltrate there, they had to be infiltrated everywhere.

According to Rudyard Lynch, today’s society is „absolutely dominated by Marxists. They have everything – Hollywood, television, education…“ Modern Marxists go about it philosophically and, in this way, can sell practically any idea to the masses. Just use the magic word „oppressed“: it used to be workers, then it was women, followed by immigrants, and most recently, it’s homosexuals along with transgender. They are people who (mainly from the position of the government or other authority) come up with passwords of type „Diversity is our strength“ or rainbow slogan „Laska is love“.

These people are according to Lynch „absolutely rotting“ because „they twist everything and constantly change definitions“. „They can produce an excuse for every depravity,“ continues to anger the young man. Most recently, in his opinion, Marxists are obsessed with „auction M. M.nature’s attics“.

 Lynch does not find a reliable explanation for this except that their goal is „own suicide“. „They can rationalize every suicidal thought,“ argues a sociologist. „In their essence, they are fanatics ready to lay down their lives at any time for the „ right thing“.“

Of course, they cannot inherently create any meaningful project of the state except the Soviet Union, Maoist China, and their shades. And ordinary people either go with them or end up with a bullet in their head. Because their fight is always the „just“.

Christians

The last – and still the most significant – group „ of the four great religions“ are Christians. They make up half of the population. Of course, we are talking primarily about the USA (, but it can also be said about Slovakia), while most of Europe is already „agnostic“. „However, many only disguise themselves as Christians,“ further warns Lynch.

According to him, Christians have „strong positions“ in the company, are „most balanced“ and „they passed the time test“.

However, contemporary Christianity is characterized as a „big empire on weak foundations.” According to him, Christianity made the mistake of allowing a „brain drain,” so it has not been enough for increasingly furious and insolent atheists and agnostics in the intellectual sphere for several centuries. In short, withdrawing only into the shell of faith and neglecting the intellectual part was a huge mistake.

He also notices that the Church „constantly someone forguile“ and „always deceives“, and that, in his opinion, „jammed in pre-industrial times“ (s which we do not necessarily agree with).

However, he perceives the fact that „ as an even bigger problem most people find it difficult to believe in Christian teachings.“This again has to do with the fact that Christianity deeply neglected to rationalize its attitudes and required too much „immediately to believe“ without deeper explanation. Why? There is something like that and that.

„Enemies give Christians their qualities,“ further points out to Lynch that this way, we can constantly be effectively defamed and disparaged by those who should instead be quiet. He also says that Christians are the only group that stands in opposition to the previous three – Darwinists, Marxists, and worshipers of machines, so they always cooperate on a certain level and actively fight against Christianity, Christian principles, and Christian order. They let each other in once they destroy their arch-enemy (as they dream).

„If Christianity doesn’t do something, it will decline,“ the young man warns, but immediately adds that „christianity still has the best chances of winning.“

In other words, Christianity has a solid chance to emerge victorious from the current chaos, and the future may belong to it again. After all, a strong Christian counteroffensive against atheistic pseudo-beliefs can be seen in contemporary Trumpian America.

„But it is possible that in the end no one will win and some new religion will arise,“ the sociologist thinks.

Lynch finally notices that Christianity is „historically incredibly adaptive“, and therefore has good cards for it, to successfully adapt to the new conditions of the second half of the 21st century.

So Christianity can once again get a chance to defeat all its (nov)pagan enemies and create new pro-family, humane states that would take the good of the past and adapt it to the future. We should also contribute to this because certainly, no one wants to live in the new Nazi empire, the restored Soviet Union, or some futuristic techno-horror. Christianity has saved our civilization several times – and can save it again. It should only be an honor for us to be there.
