The Theology of Terminal Cancer

 

“I make you ill

so you can seek My healing”

 

the proximity of death

has a powerful sanctifying ingredient

that the Lord uses

to bring us closer to Him

He pursues us with impunity

as much as we resist with equal impunity

The Man Who Refused to Die

A terminal cancer patient discovers the secret to life. This is a re-run from the last blog, re-posted here because it is loaded with many links to health and healing articles and Youtubes you may have missed and can browse through.

Surrender to the Will of God

 

the cancer in my body i did not choose

but in God’s sovereignty

He allowed this affliction in my life

but i ask you what is the cancer in your life

 

is it the cancer of unforgiveness

jealousy lust anger or bitterness

that you are holding on to?

what are the wrong choices

you continue to make?

because they give you temporary pleasure

but can permanently destroy your family

your husband or your wife

or your children or your circle of influence?

 

if you are going through a time

of terrifying darkness and despair

or are plagued by doubts

that are slowly eroding your hope

that things can get better

I urge you to surrender it all to God

give Him full control of  your life

it is the only way to live

 

Lord, forgive me for all my sins

Jesus, come into my heart

be my Lord and my Savior

in Jesus’ name, i pray. Amen

 

Rio Diaz Cojuangco

 

Mimicking Our Lord’s words at Gethsemane “not My will, but Yours be done, O Father”, and Our Lady’s “be it done to me according to Your will”, Rio spoke of “surrender to the will of God” as “the only way to live.” Surrender to His will is the key to being able to accept extreme pain, despair, depression, and death itself. It was in Rio’s surrender that she achieved peace at her death bed. ” Surrender to the will of God is a form of powerful prayer without words, a total oblation to the Savior who died for us. Thus, when Job lost his entire family, he prayed –

 

naked I came from my mother’s womb

naked shall I return

in spite of this calamity

Yahweh gave, Yahweh has taken away

blessed be His name

 

Job 1:21

 

The Theology of Man

 

 

Like Darwin, Teilhard, a palaeontologist, was condemned for his writings on evolution. Their books were banned. But the human Church reverses its errors of decades ago. For in truth, evolution proves rather than disproves the Theology of Creation. Teilhard was consequently proclaimed as one of the greatest theologians of the century.

 

Teilhard went beyond Darwin, saying physical evolution is followed by the evolution of consciousness at the birth of Man, which he calls noosphere. He talks of the ‘convergence of consciousness’. He predicted that all human consciousness from amoeba to Man thru eons of evolution will ultimately converge towards Christ. He says the Cosmos is ‘Christo-centric‘.

 

in death, as in an ocean

all our slow or swift diminishments

flow out and merge towards the Lord

The phenomenal leap of this convergence is manifested today in the Internet, people from everywhere in the planet in electronic communion with each other from their bedrooms and dining tables. E-prayer groups and Facebook bring people together. The power of the Internet is in its ability to explode instantly worldwide. When a prayer campaign for a fallen hero goes viral, a million Hail Marys flood the entire planet at the blink of an eye

 

at the blink of an eye across the entire planet

a million candles mimic the coming dawn

like countless stars illuminating the night

like a super-nova illuminating the galaxy

 

internet is an ‘explosion’ of human consciousness

which brings together the people of the Lord

who is the center of the known Universe

convergence and divergence of consciousness all in one

the Lord reigns in cyberspace

ptolemy said the earth was the center of the universe

copernicus said it was the sun

then astronomers later discovered

that the sun is a mere speck in the galaxy

and later that our galaxy is a mere dot

in the billions of other galaxies

 

einstein said the universe had no center

if one travelled on a straight line

one would be back where he started

finally de chardin said Christ

is the center of the known Cosmos,

Creator of all that is, Savior of all of Man

it was a leap of a paleontologist to a theologian

 

chardin said Jesus is the true center

of the vast mysterious universe

everything flows from and into Him

Who permeates all that is

the views of darwin, einstein and de chardin

are one and the same

one is of physics the other of metaphysics

seek the Lord

as parched earth seeks morning dew

as struggling seedling seeks the sun
