Need to tell You about two contacts with “God's Hand”.
The first time appearing the morning of my fifth birthday, and not again until in my early thirties!
During those twenty-five years, I felt free to do mostly my own will, then a need for a Spiritual “Rebirth”, from the words of Jesus to put God’s Will before my own and when I did, after much prayer, did not see anything only felt the strong presence had felt as a child come through the walls, wash over me and heard strongly "Equality”.
Many years later felt but could not see the same "God's Hand" in mine and when I looked down it spun me around in my tracks when trying to walk away from, after ten years of trying to tell The Church about the given message of "Equality" and only receiving rejections.
Would then go back to try to help end discrimination, especially for the female half.
St.Theresa wrote about 100 years ago of being called, and only being able to write about it, that had not been my own calling but did cherish becoming an Extraordinary Minister, until a Monk pointed out it was a tokenism meant to delay "Equality".
Now, many others of all beliefs realize it is time to stop the inequality, for political, as well as religious balance, feeling the need for equal rights, equal opportunity "Equality" to be able to bring out the best in all of us!
The need to counter not only racism, sexism, but the unfair hoarding of profits by a few elite, who now have about 90% economic control, over seven trillion people! Half on near-starvation wages, and gradually more!
Profits created by the workers, managers, consumers could/should be used for higher wages, basic needs like health, instead of just increasing the greed/power of those, by controlling media pedal hate, even sell weapons to both sides, cause continuing wars increasing the danger of nuclear destruction!
Words of “Love One Another, even Your enemies", the universal "Golden Rule", now need the belief of “Equality”; to treat others with equal respect, concern for enemies often just created from the practice of inequality!
The last World Council of Christian Bishops declared there be "no more discrimination of race or sex… as not the Will of God. *1 Pastoral Constitution Article 29+, Vatican II, 1965. There are other such confirmations!
Seek the Holy Spirit within yourself to confirm, and share with leaders, to Live in the fullness of Life.
May the Blessings of Grace Peace, Joy, Be With You,
