“WHEN YOU
APPROACH THE TABERNACLE REMEMBER THAT HE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR TWENTY
CENTURIES.”– ST. JOSEMARIA ESCRIVA.
We all have gone to church one or the other point
of our life and we have seen tabernacle which is in the centre of the alter.
Today’s generation have lost the essence of GOD and
that is we see many adults as well as children do not bow down to the
tabernacle when they enter the church or bow down when they cross from this
side to the other.
Parents are teaching their children everything
except prayer and that’s the main reason for increasing sin in this world. Most
of the parents are solely responsible for their children’s unbelief. It is
every parent’s responsibility to bring up children in prayer.
We should have reverence towards God and bow
whenever we approach the tabernacle. Let us not walk inside the church as we
walk in the mall but let us understand that it is HOUSE OF GOD.
Today’s generation when they approach the
tabernacle they do not understand they are not approaching the tabernacle but
they are approaching JESUS. People come to church not because they love GOD But
most of them to fulfil their obligated duty.
We have to understand when we enter the house of
GOD we should have respect for GOD. If we do not respect GOD then what is our
purpose of coming to church. Everything may look very small when we are alive
but the same will become very big on the judgement day.
SAINT PADRE PIO REPORTED TO PADRE ANASTASIO DI
ROIO: "ONE NIGHT I WAS ALONE IN THE CHOIR
AND SAW A FRIAR CLEANING THE ALTAR LATE AT NIGHT.
I ASKED HIM TO
GO TO BED SINCE IT WAS SO LATE. HE SAID: "I'M A FRIAR LIKE YOU. I DID HERE MY NOVITIATE AND WHEN
ASSIGNED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALTAR,
AND
I PASSED MANY TIMES IN FRONT OF THE TABERNACLE WITHOUT MAKING THE PROPER
REVERENCE. FOR THIS SIN I AM IN PURGATORY, AND THE LORD SENT ME TO YOU.
YOU
DECIDE HOW MUCH LONGER I HAVE TO SUFFER IN THOSE FLAMES." PADRE PIO:
" I TOLD HIM: UNTIL THE MASS IN THE MORNING. HE
SAID "CRUEL" AND DISAPPEARED.
I STILL HAVE A WOUND IN MY
HEART.
I COULD HAVE SENT HIM
IMMEDIATELY TO PARADISE, INSTEAD HE HAD TO STAY ONE MORE NIGHT IN THE FLAMES OF
PURGATORY."
