Have you heard about the black
mass at Harvard occurring tonight?
Here is Harvard’s statement
and another article
of interest. If you want to read more, just Google it. It’s everywhere.
Of all the discussions and
hullabaloo this is causing, two things stand at the forefront of my mind about
this:
1. 1. Should we be surprised?
2. 2. It is theologically interesting that it is a
black MASS, not a black communion service, or a black altar call, or a black
testimony, or a black anything else.
First, when babies are torn from
their mothers’ wombs by the thousands on a daily basis sacrificed on the altar
of Moloch, when you can’t walk through a shopping mall without being visually
assaulted by giant soft porn advertisements, when our public high schools
display the sexually explicit Two Boys
Kissing as legitimate literature appropriate for 14 year old reading lists,
how can we be surprised by a black mass at one of our most prestigious
institutions of higher learning?
These institutions have been
shaping the minds of the next generation for a long time. Without solid formation and catechesis,
and often even with one, our children are being led like lambs to the slaughter
by the relativism being preached as gospel at almost all colleges and
universities; relativism like a black mass being about freedom of speech and
assembly. Would a public Koran
burning or an on campus Klan meeting receive the same response?
Don’t get me wrong. I am proud of the students, like
Matthew Menendez, who have raised protest on campus and am relieved the Archdiocese
of Boston has taken a vocal and strong stand on the issue. But it’s still not a shock.
Second, an authentic satanic
black mass requires a consecrated Host – the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of
our Lord Jesus Christ housed in what used to be bread but is now the Living
Bread come down from Heaven. No
grape juice need apply. This is
Satan’s ultimate earthly glory, and he demands a Spotless Host. Even the Father of Lies knows the Truth
about the Holy Eucharist. You
would think this would at least cause some to pause and reflect, and please
God, lead some toward conversion.
God makes all things new and brings good from evil, even something as
evil as a black Mass.
Let us remember to pray for
those participating or condoning this grave evil tonight.
(Update: It has been cancelled! First reported moved off campus, now postponed indefinitely. God is good and prayer works, people!)
