Ezekiel Among Us : A warning for our times.
Here are the readings of the Divine Office for Matins last night. You’d think Ezekiel was speaking to us directly about the current state of our society!

One might suspect that God has turned to giving us what we deserve rather than what we desire...or rather, Rather, God has not only allowed the current crisis to occur, He has willed it as a chastisement and a correction for the widespread failure to uphold the teachings of the Church – amongst the laity and clergy alike.

From the Prophet Ezekiel Ezek 7:1-4 1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me: 2 Son of man, now say: Thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land! 3 Now the end is upon you; I will unleash my anger against you and judge you according to your conduct and lay upon you the consequences of all your abominations . 4 I will not look upon you with pity nor have mercy; I will bring your conduct down upon you, and the consequences of your abominations shall be in your midst; then shall you know that I am the LORD. V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. R. Thanks be to God.
