Spiritual Diabetes

About this sermon

As cells in the Body of Christ, we need to be nourished through the Most Precious Blood Stream flowing from the Sacred Heart. This Precious Blood brings us supernatural glucose, that is, GRACE. Without this "glucose" we will die and be flushed out of the Body into the sewer of hell. Just as the hormone insulin is what opens up cells in our bodies to receive the glucose being transported by the blood stream, so too in the Mystical Body the insulin of devotion and piety is required to open the doors of the soul to grace. The more devoted we are at the Mass, the more graces we receive... the more exposed we are to heaven's gifts. Yet there is a disease that affects the production and effect of insulin... DIABETES... having two forms... Type I and Type II. Type I is caused by our own immune systems attacking the production of insulin. This represents the failure of the parishes and her pastors to provide regular devotions and pious exercises. This certainly has happened! Type II is caused by not having enough insulin as wells as some resistance to its effect primarily due to obesity and lack of exercise. We become spiritually obese in our being attached to things of this world. We lack exercise because we fail to practice and deepen our devotions. Both of these lead to our resisting opening up to the Precious Blood Stream of the Church. This means we must slim down and exercise if we hope to receive the grace to remain alive and well in the Mystical Body of Christ unto eternal life.
