Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think your script is well written and the story and message is clear.
Within your story you have explained to us the differences between Divine Order and Free Will.
Nicely done.
I think there is one little error though:
He places a kind hand on her shoulder and beckons him to follow her - I think he beckons her to follow him??
Thank you for sharing this with us.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
A wonderful conference you have portrayed. So informative. There are so many back and forths sometimes and we need to feel secure in how we approach our indecisions. I enjoyed your script very much. Was Grace someone you know?
NB: first black writing re Bishop...you have followed her instead of him and then another flub. Good picture!

Grace is me and I also got into trouble for thinking before my First Communion LOL. It was a nun who took me to see the Bishop and my parents new nothing about it for years :). I know in my heart that God is with me and will always lead me to do His will even IF it doesn't exactly conform with doctrine. What is not in the story is the day I was confirmed the Bishop hit me so hard that it was hard throughout the church - then whispered in my ear he was not admonishing me, but preparing me for all he knew I would face in this life ? I am glad he did for he was right.
-
That is so harsh. Sounds like he was punishing you. But as you say he prepared you for what was ahead. I hope it wasn't too bad.

The pain and suffering of bone cancer has been a blessing for it is my final and ultimate testimony to my love for Him.
-
Are you suffering now?
-
Yes, there is no cure or me as my wonderful doctor can only keep the cancer in check. It was breast cancer that spread to all of my bones - we just seek to keep it out of other organs right now. It's cool though, as tis is what God desires of me - to model faith in he midst of tribulation, handle the pain (I do not take pain killers or anything other than chemo) with grace and offer up that suffering for the conversion of sinners and the reparation of offenses against heaven. When I have completed my mission He will call me and until then I live in His service.

Very saintly!

Nope! Just obedient.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Brilliant! That never occurred to me, but the girl is right. Judas was the reason Christ was crucified to save us, as God wanted. Had Jesus not been betrayed, He could not have sacrificed Himself for our sins. Good thinking!

Thank you so much Phyllis. At the time, I got pretty beaten up over it and actually had to see the Bishop in order to be confirmed. It wasn't the first or the last time I would tangle with dogma - MEN make church laws and it is not always divinely inspired :).
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
what an educational lesson we have learned from this posting. Forgiveness is what the girl was praying for (Judas's release from purgatory for taken his own life) and in the end she got confirmed.

Comment from royowen
Oh yes, Jesus did call Judas, the "the son of perdition" but it's still that human paradox, but there's no doubt in my mind he's as guilty as the Pharisees, but more so. That's in line with me ot you writing our own journey of faith and Recording that life of faith. There's no scriptural evidence of purgatory, as scripture says."it is ordained that man lives once, and then the judgement" but this child is guiltless of any sin, (except integrity, and God will never condemn that) God alone ordains eternal life and not man. I have a testimony of exactly that point, but no time to share it. Well done Monica, blessings Roy

Well, perdition or not without His crucifixion you would be unredeemed. Thank you for the kind and always supportive feedback.

That's man's wisdom not God's. He is the source of all wisdom, man can't possibly my faith is based on God's omniscience not my reason, reason is how the child sees it, when younger she would take it for granted. Jesus said "come as a child." Bless you Monica.
