ETERNAL LIFE It is unfortunate that precious time has to be taken up dealing with bitter and outlandish attacks upon Christina as she carries out the work entrusted to her by Heaven for souls. For example, there is a website which misrepresents and misquotes the messages received by Christina. It fuses parts from separate messages which deal with unrelated topics thereby actually 'inventing' a bogus message which they then proceed to attack. An example of this is a "message" concerning eternal life. All who are familiar with Our Lady's call through Christina will be aware that the messages are rooted in Scripture and that they lead us to the sacraments. Our Lady can never bypass Her Divine Son. When Our Lady speaks of the gift of Eternal Life through coming to Her House, She clearly means that She will intercede for the gift of their being open to the grace of conversion. Of course, as always, each one must still choose to respond. The complete distortion on the attacking website states, "Our Lady, speaking through Christina, claimed that by responding to the message coming from Achill, one is given grace of 'drawing life from Christina little by little'." How absurd! In all Her messages Our Blessed Mother has NEVER referred to people receiving life from Christina! Our Lady consistently states that all life comes from God and from God alone. In a separate message( on June 23) which was altogether separate from anything about eternal life, while referring to the increased sufferings borne by Christina, due to the indifference and the lack of response of so many, Jesus remarked that "life was being drawn from her little by little", meaning, of course, the resulting deterioration of her physical health. Yet for no reason totally distinct messages are clumsily or careless mixed together and then attacked. When the most basic ability to respect accuracy and truth is lacking, how can such a writer expect credibility? In fact, there is at least one other glaring mistake in reference to an instantaneous cure of advanced cancer of the bladder, implying that it was chemotherapy treatment which brought about the healing. The patient involved was actually the sister-in-law of Fr McGinnity, Christina Gallagher's Spiritual Director and it is a fact that she did not need receive any such treatment. THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH The same source proceeds to fiercely attack in a strangely resentful manner an element of infused knowledge given to Christina. Christina has consistently stressed from the beginning of the experiences given to her that she has no theological learning. What she receives and believes is of God, is for her to share with others. She has never held herself to be of any special importance on that account. The experience and knowledge given to her concerning "the New Heavens and the New Earth" is entirely in harmony with Holy Scripture and Church Teaching. Christina once saw "the New Earth" as the Lord on the cross of Light with the Heavenly Father above Him while the Precious Blood from Jesus' side streamed unto the globe of the world, touching it at the same moment as the bolts of Light from the Father's Hand. Everything on earth was purified and a perfect harmony united earth and heaven. "the New Heavens", Christina was given to understand, is when we who are prepared to participate in the life of God for eternity are taken into God in the Mystical Body of Christ. We will then share in all of God, in His gifts and in His Life in all its fulness. As Heaven now is, it is a place or state which we by our response to God may choose to enter. Heaven now is for our benefit in that those already there can know their families on earth and can pray for them, as indeed the souls in Purgatory can also do. But in the New Heaven, when all those to be saved are finally purified and Purgatory has been emptied, and the intercessory function of Heaven is complete, we will be so absorbed in the fulness of life in God that we would have no need for a memory of the past. Christina experienced the New Heavens coming down like a Church of glass, glowing in Light. In the unity of God, she said, we can have the occupancy of both the New Heaven and the New Earth that are full of the Holy Spirit and totally in God. In the Life of God we share in the Holy Spirit and in the Virtues of God. To attack Christina regarding this knowledge clearly reveals an ignorance of the Church's tradition because this truth can be found similarly expressed by Pope Benedict XVI and the New Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is contained in the Gospel words of Jesus and has been experienced and re-iterated by mystic doctors of the Church. Cardinal Ratzinger, describing the ultimate experience of souls in glory says, "In the last analysis, the point is; God totally permeates the whole man with His fullness and His utter openness. God is "all in all" and thus the human person enters upon his boundless fulfilment". The knowledge given to Christina is precisely this. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches us likewise - Heaven essentially depends on being in the Mystical Body of Christ. The Catechism teaches us that since the whole mystery of communion with God in Christ beggars the imagination (according to St.Paul the heart of man cannot conceive the greatness of what God has prepared for those who love Him [1 Cor 2:9], "Scripture speaks of it in images: the heavenly Jerusalem, paradise, the Father's house etc…" (CCC 1027) Any theologian would already understand from Biblical exegesis that mention of the word 'heaven' was a common circumlocution for 'God' in Scripture, used out of reverence.(Cf. Jerome Biblical Commentary, passim) In similar vein the Cathechism states, "Heaven is the blessed community of all who are perfectly incorporated into Christ". St.John of the Cross, for example, spells out most explicitly this union as the ultimate goal of our destiny. He speaks extensively of how completely the souls transformed in love will be drawn into the life of the Trinity. He draws attention in this regard to the very words of Christ's prayer to the Father while He was still on earth that those He has given Him may one day be with Him where He is and that all of them may be one "as you, Father, in Me and I in You, that thus they may be one in Us…" (Jn. 17 and The Spiritual Canticle). Furthermore, the experience of Teresa of Avila illustrates how earthly images such as those in Scripture for divine realities have profound spiritual connotations. What God showed Teresa of Avila further elucidates this reality. He showed her 'The Interior Castle' which was a most beautiful crystal globe made in the shape of a castle containing different mansions yet a representation of the soul and the various processes leading to its deepest union with The King of Glory - and her writing it down (at the behest of priests close to her) formed a book of many chapters, a classic treatise concerning the spiritual life. The individual criticising the knowledge regarding heaven and earth given to Christina seems to view heaven in some 'spacial' manner. He appears not to recall the reply of Jesus to the Pharisees (Lk. 17:20) who asked Him when the kingdom of God was coming. Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God is in the midst of you". This reply can also translate as "The kingdom of God is within you". So Jesus was indicating two features of the mystery that is His kingdom. He is the kingdom: He was in their midst. He was also teaching them that the kingdom of God is within the soul of its adherents: it is pre-eminently a spiritual reality. What Christina received directly from God in knowledge (without studying or reading anything )is in complete harmony with the Truth and one has to ask the hostile writer where he is getting the deception he conveys on his website. Why the need to afflict someone whom he does not even know? How could "a fallen angel" as he cruelly alleges, be the source of such messages and knowledge as are given to Christina- messages to reject sin, return to the sacraments, pray the Rosary, fast, make reparation? The devil does not bring about conversions but rather, he works to prevent them! To make such an attack is similar to what was levelled against Jesus, "It is through the prince of devils that He casts out devils!" It is surely they themselves who try to defame a good person in this uncharitable manner who are departing from the Gospel. Jesus also emphasised, "By their fruits you shall know them!" Is it likely that "a fallen angel" would bring young people back to the practice of the faith in such numbers as occurs at Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer? The devil does not instantaneously heal addiction to drugs for those with no hope of recovery, then draw them to confession, then to daily Mass on a permanent basis, and then to inspire others by their testimony and example, thereby spreading God's graces! To try and attribute such evangelisation to "a fallen angel" is clearly the height of absurdity. This antagonistic person ought to know that as a matter of course Dr McGinnity, Christina Gallagher's Spiritual Director, has always meticulously scrutinised (even without Christina being aware) each and every message and item of knowledge received by her, submitting it to appropriate and rigorous analysis. which will need to be probed by Solicitors This false judgement and condemnation goes on and on, and Christina is left deprived of her good name and reputation, as if she was guilty of wrongdoing. The fact of the matter is, Christina never went out to raise funds at any time in Ireland or America, as alleged. A lot of work was done over the years to the House of Prayer in Achill, but even then as the money came in to help the project in response to the message, two members of staff attended to the opening of the post, registering whatever donations came in, and replying to the donors. It can be readily seen that Christina did not have anything whatsoever to do with the fund raising or handling of the money, yet she is blamed by the media as if she was the fundraiser of monies, which is totally untrue. The fundraising was done by a co-ordinator. Those who desire may go to the website called Voice of Our Lady's Pilgrims and there read the facts and the truth in relation to this. This material will shortly be available in book form. We understand it is against the law to incite hatred, yet over the last five years, such incitement has been part of an unrelenting media campaign, and it continues, through them and certain associates. Sadly some few people requested their money back after being misled by the false media stories. There is great indignation among those who know the truth and are aware of the unjust and disgraceful way Christina has been treated, especially since she has received threats and hate mail through her letterbox, on foot of the media attacks... 12th Nov 2013 Related Links Testimony: Major Physical Healing & Conversion of John Garbutt Testimony: Major Physical Healing of Kathleen O'Sullivan Testimony: Major Physical Healing of Jed Michael Testimony: Major Physical Healing of Rose McManus in the Womb Testimony: Young Man's Life Totally Changed after Visit to House of Prayer Achill TOP |
