Some thoughts on religious life and priesthood

To my knowledge, please, correct me, if I am wrong, the RCC never made celibacy into canon law but bullied deacons, who wanted to be ordained as priests into the vow, as they know only too well that it is not Christ's instruction (1 Tim 3 is very clear), so there is not even the need to change any law. - But we have arrived at a time, where everybody devoting themselves to religious life should ask themselves, whether they would still do so, if they were not on any payroll and if they were persecuted. Those, who desert the Anglo-Catholic and defect to the RCC right now take the easiest route out and should have it in the first place discussed with their fellow clergy and flock, for which they have a responsibility. And where were their voices to be heard loudly enough to defend the Holy Eucharist and the Apostolic succession?! And to those females, who think they have a right to be ordained as priest and bishops I ask this question: If you truly believe in the mystery of Christ's sacrament as the memorial of His passion and in the transformation of His body and blood, then how can you even contemplate of desiring ordination or any role in the sanctuary? We women have numerous important roles to fulfill in Christ's spiritual church but priesthood and being a bishop is not one of them, as He entrusted the blessing of the gifts of the bread and wine to the male apostles as He was a man.
What is so difficult about this to understand? This is not a case of sexual equality - it is about the commandment and sacrament that Christ entrusted to His male apostles at the last supper. No more, no less. And Mary Magdalene also accepted this and never desired any other role than that she had been chosen for by God and and by Jesus. I am extremely saddened at how much Christ's spiritual church has been sold out for all sorts of reasons, none of them at all selfless or for the highest good of any soul or for His heavenly kingdom on earth as only Christ is the truth, the way and the life. And, thanks be to God, I am on the payroll of God, without expecting to own a penny to myself.
But I pray that all the faithful one day may be one in unity in Christ's church just being content with living in His most blessed sacrament and sharing all their spiritual gifts that they have received freely to share with others for free, including the gift of priesthood.

After all - we do not want a new Elizabethan age, do we now?! After all the triumphs of education, enlightenment, communication and transparency and accountability - all leaders of the churches have been entrusted with the pastoral care of their flock in Jesus' Name and only He provides the answers as He is the way, the truth and the life. But that seems to have been long forgotten by those, who do show contempt for Christ's spiritual church and only shrug their shoulders at only the mention of it - as if it were a mere phantasy...

Do not forget: Jesus is risen indeed. Alleluia. And He holds the book of life alone and He is right now watching all of us and He will us take to task on every single word and action and deed. God bless you!

God bless you!

ORDER OF THE HOLY ROSE

Welcome!

The Order of the Holy Rose is a Catholic canonical order in the Anglican-Catholic tradition, which was founded in May 2008 in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski . *

*
Our bishops, clergy, and laity serve God in voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony, and we all are espoused to Christ's spiritual body, His church, either in blessed voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony. We do not own any property with our order and do not accumulate money, and share each, what we have been given freely. Members, who have given life-long vows must be prepared to follow Jesus Christ's call to wherever He sends them and they must not own any property to their name nor must they accumulate money.
*

*
Priesthood is only available to men for the simple reason that Christ was a man and He entrusted His chosen male apostles with this most holy sacrament in His memory. Therefore, the blessings can only be done by the priests. We are preparing for the return of Jesus Christ, who is the Father of Our Holy Rose Family and we are wholeheartedly reaching out to our brothers and sisters of the holy eternal family truth of Jesus and Mary Magdala, who were incarnate also as Abraham and Sarah, so that we all can shine together finally as one holy family in unity, peace and harmony and in human dignity and free of slavery for eternity. Whosoever claims to love Jesus is also invited to extend this love to His true own family, and get to know Mary Magdala, His wife, and children, Jacob and Zara-Zarai, who were still-born on the way to the cross. This truth has been withheld by a whole host of Secret Societies, heretical, Arian, Cathar and Satanistic and other secret Pagan groups within the church, who have systyematically undermined the true spiritual church of Christ and it is those, who have abused children and adults in the disguise of clergy in all ranks of the church hierarchy and parishes and monasteries, and put the blame for their own shame on the numerous holy and faithful priests and nuns. Many documents and scrolls have been purposefully withheld that confirm this but holy truth has the habit to reveal itself in all ways and speaks for itself, and one day Christ will in His good time fit all things and put all wrong right simply through His living word.
*

Women have a whole range of roles within Christ's church, and Bishop Ralph is ordaining women as deaconesses as was the custom in the early church, too, as women are invaluable in many ways for the life in a holy community but they are not involved in the inner sanctuary.
*

Mary Magdalene was the eternal wife of Jesus Christ and was chosen by God and Jesus from the beginning of time as the advocate for Christ's own family as the nucleus of creation and not of a twisted version of heresy, which does her greatly injustice as she never ever desired to replace the Holy Mother of God nor did she ever have any other desire than to be Jesus' wife and the loving mother of His children; she certainly had no ambition whatsoever to be a priestess or to serve in the inner sanctuary; however, she was wholeheartedly supporting the spiritual church of Christ and made her property and money available for this purpose, as she did in all incarnations in one way or another . She was obedient to God and to Jesus and she served God together with Christ in utmost humility, always painfully aware of her sins that she would find within herself the deeper she journeyed. On the way to Christ's cross she had to give birth in the street to their still-born twins Jacob and Zara-Zarai, and so she not only mourned her husband's but also her children's loss, all in one on one day, whose very existence has been for a multitude oft the above reasons not yet officially been recognized. The Order of the Holy Rose is dedicated to Jesus Christ and accordingly to His wish, also to His Holy Family: His wife Mary Magdala, and their murdered twin infants Jacob and Zara-Zarai. Jesus Christ's and Mary Magdala's desire was to lead a life in holiness and serve God together in holy matrimony to live and lead by example, and as short as their life together was it was the living eternal holy family's creed, and after the loss of her all she continued to sow from Ephesus Jesus Christ's mustard seed, and His path of peace and unity and human dignity and holy truth and loving-kindness and parental responsibility for the children of God is all that mankind does for eternal life need. Mary Magdala gave up her old life and donated all her money and property to Jesus Christ's ministry but that fact was also twisted to this very day by pseudo-religious orders, who rather lead mankind to war and hoard money and property instead of sharing all their spiritual gifts for free and to teach and preach and to heal freely.

Share freely, what you have been given freely!

God bless you!
