Dear CMSWR (Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious),
 

Praised be Jesus Christ and His Mother our Queen in Heaven!  I have recently encountered a most blasphemous account of the Consecrated Life that would be most appreciated to be evaluated and discerned.

On July 7, 2013, I was invited by Elizabeth Siegel of Dominos Farms to attend Vespers at the Monastery of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist with the knowledge that it was open to visitors on Sunday.

My recent encounter from the Sisters have been a witness of CHARITY towards the Salvation of Souls and request your prayers for my Salvation and those of my family members.

I deserved to be put in JAIL for attending an open event of prayers even with the intention of purely GLORIFYING CHRIST in the MOST AWESOME PRAYER of DIVINE VESPERS!  I deserved to be treated in the most heinous way of being handcuffed and put in jail surrounded by criminals who had the mouths of WOLVES and blasphemous TONGUES of HATRED!  I deserved to be treated like a Criminal with ONLY PRAYER BOOKS in my purse and an invitation from one of the parishioners of Christ the King in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  I deserved to be treated so rudely on the phone when I would call and the Sisters would IMMEDIATELY hang up after hearing my NAME!  How AWESOME A WITNESS of fidelity and CHARITY from the Sisters who have DEDICATED their LIVES to CHRIST for the GOOD OF THE CHURCH and the Salvation of Souls!  Must I say more of what GRATITUDE fills my soul, in this HUMBLE STATE of HUMILITY!  You HAVE GRANTED ME A SHARE IN MY BELOVED, and HE HAS GRANTED ME THE REWARDS AND MERITS OF ETERNAL SALVATION!  How may I REPAY SUCH GENEROSITY TO ME that the CRUCIFIED CHRIST has brought to me the ONENESS of HIS GOODNESS!

For my BELOVED was treated in the most HUMILIATING of CIRCUMSTANCES for my own Salvation; the ETERNAL WORD MADE FLESH.  BEAUTY ITSELF was made into the UGLIEST of CREATURES and bore it for Mankind so that all may KNOW of the ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE KINGDOM!  But in His UTTER ABANDONMENT OF THE FATHER, He TEACHES US to CALL UPON HIM ALL THE MORE!  Abba, Abba! Why hast thou ABANDONED ME!  I CRIED FROM THE DEPTH OF MY HEART TO MY CREATOR AND HAD NO OTHER REFUGE EXCEPT HIM WHO CREATED ME!  I CRIED FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART AS THEY STRIPPED ME OF MY DIGNITY FOR SUCH UNJUST REASONS!  I CRIED LIKE NO OTHER MOMENT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THE HATRED THAT WAS BESTOWED ON ME BY CONSECRATED RELIGIOUS!  I CRIED AS THEY LAUGHED AND SMILED at a RETREAT encouraging YOUNG WOMEN TO DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST AS I LAY AT THE AIRPORT waiting for someone to pick me up!  As THEY SMILED IN THEIR PICTURES of JOY witnessing the BEAUTY OF THE CONSECRATED LIFE, I CRIED!  I have said, YES to CHRIST!  And He Has ASSURED ME THAT I TOO WILL SHARE IN THE CUP that will FOREVER RESOUND THE ETERNAL LOVE OF THE FATHER; the CUP of SALVATION He has NOT KEPT FROM ME BUT HAS ALLOWED ME TO DRINK OF THE DREGS OF HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD!  O PRECIOUS CHRIST, my BELOVED, You have not kept anything from me and I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU, my God, my Love, my HEART!  Burning with Love for thee, He has left a FIRE THAT ENFLAMES THE GOODNESS OF His ETERNAL LOVE; a flame that will FOREVER BURN and NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED!  A Heart BURNING WITH LOVE FOR THEE, a HEART ENFLAMED WITH DIVINE CHARITY!  O TRIUNE GOD, BURN YOUR LIGHT IN ME!  SET AFLAME the DESIRES OF MY HEART AND BRING FORTH A BLAZE OF CONVERSIONS ON FIRE FOR THE TRUTH!  VERITAS!  VERITAS!  VERITAS!

What is TRUTH!  TRUTH CRIES OUT IN EVERY HUMAN SOUL IN LOVE WITH A GOD INCARNATED AND BROUGHT INTO FLESH TO BRING TO LIFE, the Way, the TRUTH, and the LIFE!  It is WRITTEN that ALL MAY KNOW OF A GOODNESS BEYOND THE HEART OF MAN!  TRUTH, my Dear Sisters, is BEYOND WHAT WORDS CAN EXPRESS!  It is LIVED through the ETERNAL WORD!  It is LIVED!  WITNESSED!  THE TRIUNE GOD SHARED IN EVERYTHING!  EVERYTHING except SIN!  SIN IS UGLY AND BEAUTY was brought low in EXPIATION FOR what has degraded the humanity of Man.  He made me!  He CREATED ME!  He LOVED ME TO DEATH, even unto DEATH ON A CROSS!        

I encountered my Eternal FATHER, the LIFE and BREATH of my own EXISTANCE and was shown the SECRET OF ETERNAL LIFE; LIFE ON HIGH IN JESUS!  I was given a TASTE of the ETERNAL SPLENDOUR of COMPLETE SURRENDER TO THE DIVINE WILL!  “Father, if it be POSSIBLE, remove this cup from me, but not my WILL BUT THINE BE DONE.”  Yes, my Dear Sisters the Holy Spirit was my advocate and GUIDE during my encounter of the MOST HUMILIATING and SHAMEFUL of Encounters from a Religious Community that has DARED to PROCLAIM TRUTH even in the most dire of circumstances.  Emails that only EXPRESSED CHARITY and a desire for GUIDANCE was judged to be a form of Harassment and Stalking.  The police report was FAR BEYOND TRUTH and that my dear Sisters is a judgment that CHRIST ALONE will bring to JUSTICE; for DIALOGUE was not practiced in any form by the Sisters to be able to write such a Character reference on my behalf!

The COMMUNION OF SAINTS and the DIVINE MERCY APPEARED TO ME as my SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND PEACE!  St. Maxilimilian Kolbe accompanied me as he appeared to me reminding me of the CRIMINAL CHARGES that were placed upon him as a PRIEST OF CHRIST and the Martyrdom He RECEIVED with FULL COMMITMENT TO OUR LADY THE IMMACULATA!  St. Teresa Benedicta was STRIPPED of all her DIGNITY as a WOMAN OF GOD AND LED TO THE GAS CHAMBER LIKE A LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER!  And as I lay there with women who were degraded from the ABUSE OF DRUGS and ALCOHOL; CHARGES that were way BEYOND the circumstances that led me to prison, I was SILENT and WEPT THE TEARS OF MARY of the UNJUST TREATMENT THAT CHRIST WAS ALLOWING ME TO SHARE IN HIS PASSION!  I WEPT as they took my fingerprints and recalled that these are the HANDS CONSECRATED TO CHRIST for PURITY AND INNOCENSE!  I WEPT as they took mugshots of me that will forever place on my RECORD as a WOMAN OF ILL-REPUTE!  And FOR WHAT!   For attending Evening Prayer in a Monastery that for WHATEVER REASON was not an invitation to me but to everyone ELSE!  Is that how women who DESIRE to LIVE SOLELY FOR CHIRST are to be treated from Women who have DEDICATED THEIR LIVES FOR THE SAME PURPOSE?  Yes, my Dear Sisters no WORDS CAN EXPRESS the GRATITUDE I HOLD to the Dominican Sisters of Mary for their UNJUST TREATMENT!  For the ETERNITY OF MAN WILL BE JUDGED AND HE WILL BRING TO LIGHT WHAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN!

He was CRUCIFIED for love of me and  am I who have CONSECRATED my HEART to HIM not to share in HIS CROSS.  How HUMBLE is our GOD to come to us in the form of Man and live and die as a CRIMINAL!  Though He was INNOCENT He was led to the SLAUGHTER like a LAMB.  How TREMENDOUSLY GOOD is our GOD to share an ENCOUNTER with HIM that only ETERNITY will CRY OUT in the midst of a LOVE BEYOND ALL BOUND!

My ENCOUNTER WITH HIM will FOREVER RESOUND for ALL ETERNITY!  He is my BELOVED, and I am His BRIDE!  He echoes to me, “Come BRIDE of CHRIST, Receive the Crown He has PREPARED FOR YOU, my BELOVED, my SPOUSE, my ONLY ONE!”

In Mary, the SORROWS of HER IMMACULATE HEART, the JOY has been FULFILLED in LIFE and in ETERNITY!  My Soul PROCLAIMS the GREATNESS OF THE LORD, my SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR!  For He has looked with FAVOR on my lowliness and has BROUGHT FORTH AN ETERNAL DESIGN OF SALVATION that will be WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS OF ETERNITY!  I have SHARED IN HIS PASSION AND KNOW OF THE ETERNAL GOODNESS OF A GOD SO HUMBLE!  YES, my GOD IS VERY HUMBLE!  He is HUMBLE AND LOVES HUMILITY BEYOND BOUND!  Such a DESIRE HE HAS FOR HIS BELOVED TO SHARE WITH ME A HUMILIATION THAT I OFFER TO HIM AT THE ALTAR!

 I have been degraded of my dignity as a TEACHER OF THE FAITH and ask RECOMPENSE for the continued JOURNEY He desires for me to LIVE here on EARTH!  Your Charity as a Consecrated BRIDE OF CHRIST VISIBLY WITNESSED IN THE HOLY HABIT must CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE FOR THIS CHILD OF GOD THAT DID NOTHING WRONG IN REQUESTING GUIDANCE FROM RELIGIOUS WHO PROCLAIM CHRIST, as their BELOVED!

 In Mary,

 Meryl Viola Bravo, M.A.

THE AUTHENTICITY ~ of LOVE! written by Meryl Viola Bravo

“The “fundamental question of youth,” John Paul continued, is the question of conscience and its authenticity. Conscience, the measure of human dignity, is, in a sense, the history of the world: “For history is written not only by the events which in a certain sense happen ‘from outside’; it is written first of all ‘from inside’: it is the history of human consciences, or moral victories and defeats.” To develop one’s conscience authentically is the true measure of a human personality’s development.”  Witness to Hope by George Weigel


JMJ

The AUTHENTICITY of LOVE is born from a conscience that is developed and formed from the very depths of one’s dignity made in the image and likeness of God. The moral development in mankind comes forth from the inner being and formed by the grace of God who works in the soul who is molded by the work of His Hand. The moral conscience is awakened in man during times of great challenge and trial; the response of man in eternal gratitude and inner audacity to cry to Him in desperate measures assures the consolation of God who man has placed his trust in Him. The relationship of man with the God who created him is ever formed by the response and grace of faith freely given to him from the God who is ever generous to those who call upon Him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength. The outer being is transformed by the indwelling of the Spirit molding him ever closer to union with the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The development of love created from this union then shines forth in virtue and Christian character for the truest essence of human personality and development in moral victories. The development of grace in a soul that cooperates with the workings of Christ is a response of true freedom and a gift of faith, hope and charity. It is then that the true person made in the image and likeness of God reflects the love of Christ to all he encounters. Charity dominates his very being and transforms him through every outer event; a response that comes from the inner strength bestowed on Him by the grace of God. The development of one’s conscience geared towards a love for Christ and motivated by the spirit of the Living God present in the Most Blessed Sacrament draws man ever closer to Him and transforms and transfigures him. The moral conscience is awakened towards a greater good and an abhorrence towards what is evil. It is Christ who forms the soul to an ever newer and ever changing reality of what is eternally good and revives the soul for further growth in the Kingdom and the Salvation of Souls. To develop one’s conscience is the goal of every man who sets forth towards a higher good and an ever deeper union with the God of Love and Goodness.

O Christ, Redeemer and Savior present in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. I come before You as I am seeking refuge in Your Eternal Goodness. I seek You ~ for all You are is good. I seek You for all You are is ever loving in eternal splendour. I seek You as I gaze upon You in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Transform my soul into Your very image so that in my very being I may be a reflection of Your goodness and love to all I encounter in life. Transform me, O God, Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit so that Your Most Divine Indwelling may ever come alive in me more and more and the truest dignity of my life may flourish ever deeper. Transform me into Your eternal goodness and beauty reflected in this Most Awesome Sacrament alive and living reality for all those who take refuge in You, O Christ. Grant me the grace to seek only what is good and to abhor what is most offensive to You, O God. Transfigure my inner being so that all that is reflected outward may be a living image of You, O Eternal Goodness. In loving You, O God, may the very essence of my life be a praise and glory most pleasing to You, Christ, Redeemer and Savior. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, form me into the image of your Son who is love and goodness itself. Amen.
