Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
An important theme for this blog is the scene in the New Testament where Jesus can be found FLOGGING the money-changers out of the temple. My header above depicts a priest FLOGGING the devils that distort the faith and assault believers. The faith that gives us consolation can and should also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Impatience or Failure to Trust?

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Father Joe

Question 269

Can you please expound on the gap between trusting our Savior and impatience? What about asking for reassurance from our Savior? Did Moses show impatience with God in the story of Numbers 20:8?

Response

The sin of Moses and Aaron was not impatience but rather that they feared the people more than the Lord. The “impatience” you ask about is a failure to surrender and to trust in divine providence. God is not our genie that we can command with wishes.
