reported on August 31, 2010:
It's a concept largely discarded as an antiquated view of gender roles,
even in most Christian circles: the notion that a husband leading the home
is the best way to keep a family running smoothly.
Yet Monsignor Charles Pope, a blogger for the Archdiocese of Washington,
pointed out in a post earlier this month that rejecting this model is at the
root of "one of the biggest problems today in marriage." This Bible-based
tradition, he says, is vital for couples hoping to dodge the destructive
"power struggle" of the modern marriage situation.
"Marriage makes two people one. The trouble comes in determining which
one," wrote
Pope.
"God establishes a husband in authority in the home," he wrote. "Every
organism and organization requires headship. A creature with two heads is a
freak. A creature with no head is dead."
Pope notes that the correct notion of a husband's leadership "is not a
worldly, autocratic authority but a Christian, servant based authority (Cf
Mark 10:41-45)."
"It does not follow that the husband always 'gets his way.' Rather, if he
is smart, he listens carefully to his wife and her wisdom," he continued.
"Practically speaking women have great authority in the home and its daily
running and a smart husband will not seek to micromanage and usurp his
wife’s role and her practical authority there and with the children.
"But in the end, two have to become one. Oneness requires headship,
common faith, shared fear of the Lord, and a heartfelt appreciation for the
gifts of each."
Our Lady of
the Roses Bayside messages:
These messages came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica
Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOMES
"Repeat, My child, my words: Families, bring honor
to your homes. Fathers, be a father; discipline your children. Mothers, do not
discard your role as a mother. Why have you sought to stand side by side with
your husband without being subservient to him? You have lost your honor. The
example you give to your children can lead them nowhere but into the darkness. A
strong tree will bear good fruit. A tree that is fed with impure waters will not
grow to maturity, but will die and wither on the vine.
"Prayer must be entered into the lives of your children. Prayer must be a way of
life now, for you have chosen of your own will to cast aside the words of the
Father." - St. Joseph, March 18, 1974
MAN AS FIGURE OF CHRIST: “SO IT IS
FROM THE LORD”
St. Paul - "Listen, My child, how
satan has corrupted the word."
Veronica - And now he's becoming quite angry
and pointing, jabbing with his finger the Book, and saying:
St. Paul -
"Observe: Women shall be meek in the presence of their husbands. We hear the
call of 'liberation'! Whom shall woman be liberated to but satan!
"A man, as a figure of the Christ, my child, shall be the head of his household.
So it is from the Lord.
"A woman shall adorn herself
not in pearls and braided hair, but in goodness and piety and good example to
her children. A woman will not expose her body as a pagan. What manner of
example has she given to her children? Woe to the parent who brings scandal to
her children!
"Woman, remove your arrogance! You are
searching in darkness. As a sign of reverence, you will cover your head. It is
not that I call it custom, My children; it is that the angels demand this in the
presence of the Sacrifice, Mass!" - St. Paul, March 22, 1975
HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD
“My child, you will make it known to mankind that the head
of an earthly family is the father. The Father Eternal will guide the father,
the head of the household.
"A woman of earth shall
not cast aside her role as mother and housekeeper. In her role as mother, she
shall be the guardian of her children's souls and a helpmate of her husband, and
a guardian also of his earthly soul and the soul eternal. By her example in her
household, she has the power, as woman, for good or evil. She shall stay in her
home and guide her children." – St. Joseph, July 15, 1975
A COMPANION TO HER HUSBAND
"The father shall
be the head of his household. A woman shall remain a companion to her husband.
What manner of foul evils are now entering upon your homes and the lives of your
children? What examples as parents have you given to your children? Many tears
of sorrow shall be shed by parents--too late! The abyss, hell, is open wide, and
we stand and watch, helpless to recover these souls.
"We look into many homes, my children, and find discord, disunity, and sorrow,
confusion and despair, manners of aberration; the matrimonial bond broken, sin
becoming a way of life. The family that will pray together shall stay together.”
– St. Joseph, March 18, 1976
DECEPTION FROM SATAN
"My child, make it known to the world that woman
must keep her place in respect to her husband. It was not Adam, the man, who
fell, but he followed the fall of Eve, his wife. For man came from God and Eve
was brought forth from man. Therefore, My child, this word I hear 'liberation'
is a deception from satan!
"Do you not recognize, My
children, the signs of your times? Read and learn: 'Women will become unlike
women. They shall go forth, and seven women will take hold of one man and say to
him: Make me as you are. I wish to eat your bread.' [see Isaias 4:1]
"Know, My child, this simple lesson, that in these days of the latter times,
women shall seek to cast off their role as mother and a woman. Woman will cast
it off under the direction of satan, and murder her children. Woe to the woman
who does not repent of this vile abomination! She has walked the road to eternal
damnation and hell. Repent, O woman, or forever be lost!" - Our Lady, March
18, 1975
LIBERATION?
"Paganism
will not be tolerated by the Father, neither in your lay life nor in the House
of My Son. It is an abomination for women to speak in the House of God! I hear a
word—defilement
of man, liberation? My child, what is this liberation women ask for? Satan has
created the plan for their destruction. Take your Bible, take the Book of life
and study it and learn!" - Our Lady,
July 15, 1974
REBELLING AGAINST
HER DESTINY
"My child, make it
known to the world that woman must return to her place as woman, for she has
been misled. Was it not woman who fell to satan in the beginning?
"Her disobedience to the will of God brings much sorrow upon her and her
children. It would be better now, My children, if woman would be silent, for she
does not know the road she is traveling. It is only satan who has set her to
rebel against her destiny." - Our Lady,
March 24, 1974
MAN THE
BREADWINNER
"Where is the place
of the man and father? Where has he gone from the homes? Why has woman sought to
take his place? Satan has created this delusion. The place of woman is in the
home and the rearment of the child. The man will be the breadwinner and
safeguard his home." - St. Joachim,
July 25, 1973
EXCHANGED
ROLES
"As Saint Paul wrote to the Romans, that when man has given up God and replaced
Him by the creatures, he would be abandoned, allowed to go onto his path of sin.
"Since women have exchanged their roles as women, preferring to be as men, and
have abandoned their true, true value of life—have
abandoned their role as a mother to carry the creation of their God within their
wombs, they, therefore, will also find that their husbands and sons will find
rejection of women, and men will seek lustfully pleasures with men, known, My
child, as homosexuality. And they will be given and abandoned to their lust,
until all creatures upon earth would live in fear. Women then will find
themselves turning lustful eyes to women-lesbianism, My child." - Our Lady,
September 28, 1974
STAND FORTH
AS EXAMPLES
"They will do as
they have done in the past in honor of the Father; and in the path of the
Father, they will listen to their husbands and honor their husbands within the
home. If they do thus, they will receive honor from their children. The example
in the homes is very, very poor.
"So husbands, now,
you will act with love to your wives, but you will keep them in discipline. Many
of them have lost their way. Discipline. And wives, honor your husbands and do
your role as mothers in honor to your God. We see the example of the homes is
very poor....
"Womanhood must be returned to the
state in which the Father created it. Right at this moment a great chastisement
is coming upon you, for you have cast aside your role as women. This you will
not do without receiving great chastisement.
"There
will be division in homes unless the fathers stand forth as examples to their
sons and daughters, and the mothers return to their roles as mothers in the
light of God, the Father." - Our Lady,
April 13, 1974
