First off, we just wanted to state that stpaul and confusedcatholic offered some excellent analysis. Thank you for that light you shared.
Secondly, in our recently desired path toward re-education regarding the truth of His Excellency Bishop Williamson’s analysis of many things Catholic, one of his statements jumped out and here we paraphrase: Thomas Jefferson had the false belief that if you just put truth in the public square, it will do its own work. Again, Bishop Williamson rightly and importantly states that this is false. Let us live by this great Truth which has been revealed throughout the Holy Scriptures and by our Lord Jesus from a Prince of His Church, Bishop Williamson. It is a very important lesson today. There most certainly is a time needed for Father Hewko to adjust to his new circuмstances, and of course God tells us that there is a season for everything.
Next, we must also work in order to facilitate Father Hewko’ s path to freedom from error, and we need to pray and also perhaps to do more work still. As Saint Augustine tells us: “Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”
Having said that, we obviously realize that this is a critical time in the spiritual battle for our Catholic Faith and on behalf of our Father Hewko’s holy priestly edification. The evil one is tirelessly at work in order to do whatever is possible to keep Father on the wrong path.
However, have no doubt that God and our beautiful Blessed Mother will reveal to each one of her soldiers what Jesus wills for each one of us to do.
The sermon of Father Hewko regarding the new mass as “The Abomination of Desolation” could possibly indicate that Father Hewko is going further away from the truth on this, further away from Archbishop Lefebvre and his teaching as confusedcatholic stated well, further away from opening his mind toward re-evaluating Bishop Williamson and the truth of what His Excellency ACTUALLY taught on this subject, and seemingly moving toward hunkering down more still in this wayward direction.
Indeed, we have come to realize that Father Hewko is often and lately focusing, in some part or other of his sermons, this subject of the new mass. For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, this means a great deal is going on in the battle we are all in.
The subtle cunning of the devil should never be underestimated, and we must realize that this is what we are dealing with at this point. Again, make no mistake that this is a critical time for Father Hewko and for those of the Church Militant. God is in charge, no doubt, and as always, He desires that we be His instruments.
Our Prayer : Praise, Honor, Glory, and Thanks to Jesus and His and our Immaculate Mother who will lead us every step, moment, and breath to do God’s Will. Lead us to be your instruments in this battle for the True Catholic Faith and for our Father Hewko’s priestly restoration from his time at Boston, Kentucky, which You have already begun to unfold before us according to Your Perfect Wisdom and Your Merciful Plan for us all. AMEN.
