“I am Saint Athanasius. I speak so often through This Miracle, because I am so aware of the dangers of heresy, what it can do to so many people in destroying their belief in The Father’s Will, and replacing their Faith in Him to a total humanistic belief, involvement, understanding, acceptance.
The world has many good people in it, but they are being misled by many who are in authoritative places. It is sad when We watch men and women, sometimes children, who are drawn to strictly what they call ‘It’s what’s being done in our day’ attitude, and following humanism instead of looking at what is morally sound in values and standards, respecting God’s Rules above all things.
Children are not being taught the beauty of purity. Many people who consider themselves God-fearing, God-loving, are living and acting far from this point of view. So many are being led into false ideals, false practices, pornographic adventures and immoral entertainment that is devastating to their Soul.
Man has a choice, a free will: right or wrong, pure or impure, sound or unsound, good or evil. We hear so many excuses. When We hear them, We oftentimes try to show in some form, some way, some manner, some direction, a better choice, a pure choice, but it is ignored many times because man succumbs to what is available, what appears acceptable at this time, not seeing how disabling to soundness this action can allow.
Man says, ‘I am of sound mind, I know what I am doing.’ True, but man forgets to remember the importance of consideration to the values involved, and definitely in man being faithful to God’s Rules. Man says, ‘I guess it’s just my weakness.’ We say, ‘It is your will.’ Man says, ‘I’ll try it once.’ We say, ‘Once could cause great disaster to your Soul.’ Man says, ‘Who’s going to see me?’ We say, ‘God and All of Us.’ Mankind cannot hide from The Father, because the Soul in every individual is in constant contact with The Father.
I lived in a time when there was so much heresy, so much contradiction, so much impurity, it was devastating to see it everywhere I went, and know its presence truly existed in such a strong major way. When I fought the Arian heresy and more, I was many times fought in many forms, but I knew that I had to fight for what I knew was Fact, Truth, and to this day I thank God I did.
If you stand up for what you know is beneficial to your Soul and the Souls of all others, you too will one day say, ‘Thank You, God, for the courage, the strength, the perseverance and the love, because it was all of this that helped me fight for what I knew had to be.’ So be it.”
