St. Therese: A Model of Humility
Today I happened to run across a disturbing headline (one that's always running rampant nowadays) that made me think of St. Therese of Lisieux. She had many yearnings in her soul. She felt called to be a priest and a missionary. Yet, with these powerful stirrings in her soul, she remained a simple cloistered Carmelite. Her humility and trust in God made her the contemplative that she was. She listened to God's call to be his bride in the desert of Carmel. She knew God had a special mission for her and so she listened intently. Never once did she deny anything He asked of her and there, within the solitude of Carmel did she find her vocation - to be love in the heart of the Church! Her "little way" was born.
So now... what is wrong with this picture? ==>Watsonville woman to be ordained.

Gee, this is wrong on so many levels, its hard to separate them. Lack of obedience springs to mind. These people who think they should control what the Catholic Church decrees just make me angry. There are so many Protestant denominations out there for them to join, or heck, even start if they want to. They are being Protestant in spite of the fact that they would deny it. But, what else are we to call their blatent flying in the face of Church teaching?

I agree. The lack of obedience is certainly a fruit of our fallen nature, i.e. pride. These little "communities" of priestesses pose as an annoyance for me, sort of like a pebble in my shoe, so to speak - simply because women's ordination in the Catholic Church can never be in its natural order. It simply defies the nature of the Sacrament of Holy Orders which was instituted by Jesus the Incarnate Word.
Let's keep them in our prayers.
