Now, or tonight, is the ‘Chinese New Year’ and Chinatowns in different parts of the world, or those people trying to be ‘Chinese’ so they can partake a share from their ‘luck’, are very much alive, not sleeping, dying to follow what the Feng Shui says, and having a feast with complete set of ‘lucky food’, ‘lucky clothes’, ‘lucky rituals’ like in their nearby temples, ‘lucky colors’.
While us Catholics enrich our souls with Ash Wednesday, which was yesterday, or earlier, as it’s way past midnight already, they are busy preparing all their occultism for the ‘Year of the Sheep or Goat’, as they fall on the same day this year, which I don’t think as a mere coincidence…
The Night Prayer or Compline has Psalm 16 – God is my portion, my inheritance and its lines are just apt:
I say to the Lord: “You are my God.
My happiness lies in you alone.”
for the faithful ones who dwell in his land.
Those who choose other gods increase their sorrows.
Never will I offer their offerings of blood.
Never will I take their name upon my lips.
it is you yourself who are my prize.
The lot marked out for me is my delight:
welcome indeed the heritage that falls to me!
… But a desperate attempt of demons! For me, the ‘Chinese New Year of the Sheep’ is a mockery to Jesus The Lamb of God being commemorated on this day, Ash Wednesday. They couldn’t even decide whether it really is the Year of the Sheep or Year of the Goat. It just shows how demons hate each other. They don’t have an organized rank or authority. Either what fools choose, the members of the Illuminati from what I read have goat as the symbol of their worship to the devil.
The reality is that it’s the demons who are celebrating in this minute for The Year of the Sheep or Goat. If those people only could see that they are celebrating along with demons, they would run for their lives…
But they couldn’t, and it’s Satan’s tactic to deceive, disguising in this ‘culture’.
People mistakenly think it’s harmless to join in ‘Chinese New Year’, claiming that it’s just part of their tradition. A lot of them are Catholics, but at the same time, practicing Buddhists or whatever religions Chinese people have. But God says in Exodus 20:5, in the First Commandment, “…For I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God…”. You can’t worship Him and those gods at the same time. Even they say it’s just tradition, when you’re doing that tradition, you won’t be able to draw the line anymore.
Some claim that the Feng Shui items they use for the ‘Chinese New Year’ like charms, they don’t associate it with the occult. That is impossible, for they are using them to invoke the preternatural power of the nature and gods, who are all demons. Those spirits are attached to those items. If they only have an idea what could happen to them…
As we know, Lent is the season of prayer and penance, with stress on prayer, receiving the Sacraments, almsgiving, and the practice of charity. It’s purpose is preparing the faithful for the feast of the Resurrection in Easter, and dispose them for a more fruitful reception of the graces that Christ merited by his passion and death, being The Lamb of God.
But why is he called The Lamb of God?
In the Old Testament, people offered God the animals they slaughtered as sacrifice. The animal of sacrifice for the Jews is a lamb. During Exodus, the firstborn in all Egyptian families died. But the firstborn of the Israelites were saved because God had told them to mark their doors with the blood of lamb or goat, so that the angel of death would pass over the marked houses. The lamb was to have no blemish, and none of its bones were to be broken. Now, that part in Exodus is remembered as the Feast of Passover.
Jesus is the Lamb of God because he is the perfect sacrifice offered to God.
1 Peter 1:18-19 we are told, “You were ransomed . . . not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb.”
“Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; Like a lamb led to the slaughter” (Isaiah 53:7). After His crucifixion, soldiers did not break his legs to kill him as he’s already dead. His bones were not broken like the lamb in the Passover.
“Our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed” (1 Corinthians 5:7). His death on the Cross was a passover from death to life for Himself and for all of us. He has given us the hope to reach our promised land, heaven.
St. John, in his Gospel, says that Jesus was crucified the same day that the Passover lambs were being killed in the Temple (John 19:31), comparing him to the lamb. John the Baptist who gave Jesus the title Lamb of God (John 1:29). Lamb is at least mentioned 29 times in Revelation. In a vision John sees a lamb. Four living creatures and 24 elders fall before the Lamb and sing praise because he purchased all people with his blood (Revelation 5:9).
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
