Dear darlingest Miyang Marie,

Women - the dignity of their person, their innate nature and natural rights - something close to your own heart, my loveliest love, you being a woman yourself. As far as I am concerned, women are equal to men - both in their dignity as a human being AS WELL AS in their potential to freely and willingly contribute to the common good of human society. However, as regards to purpose for which it has pleased our LORD to place Woman in the order of creation, she is what complements Man to make them both in all things a unit of one. Therefore, Man and Woman as regards to their innate natures are made to be distinct both in gender and physical function as well as in spirit and temperament, for the Man and the Woman are not made to be equal in their sense of divine as well as natural purpose but complementary that the unseen motions of destiny that lead each of them unto each other and into unity with each other be completely guaranteed and irresistible to both.

Yet because the image of the one Beautiful that is impressed upon the very substance of their souls are one, Man and Woman both possess an equal share of the divine dignity that is afforded only to human beings above all of visible creation.

It is easy to think that Women are weak because they are made to be fragile but all of these when seen in the context of the equal dignity of their persons as human beings with Man and understood in sense in exile time by the complementary functions of the gender opposites fall right into place - for this is the original order of things.

For the cause of Man's happiness and the cause of Woman's pains do not serve to follow each other but must be aligned in the course of their hopes together so that each may - as one - draw comfort from the love that each of them is able to bear for each other in God, begetting life from love and from love, eternal life.

This is, of course, the path of the married state as a path apart and distinct from the path of Holy Orders and the path of the chaste single individual.

It is easy to surrender Woman to her pains but that is not the cause for which Man is called to love his one and only true helper on this inhabited earth.

It is easy also for Woman despite the person of herself to surrender Man without recall to the corrupting effects of the blind pursuit of a happiness that exists not in this world apart from the beauty that is by design impressed upon both their working together to achieve something in their being together, through discipline, effort and love, that may only come by virtue of their mutual service of life above and beyond the confines of each of their own self - as one.

Women are as free to choose as Man yet both of them must strive to obey Liberty's cause and allow their choices to be shepherded by her hand in God and Country.

Education and its true purpose of completing the unique person of the human being in each of our selves must also be made ready and available to both gender opposites to achieve a quality of life that shall benefit their children and most especially where poverty exists, raise at least the next generation from the dust of the unknown earth.

This inhabited earth of ours, my love, built upon the collective tears and suffering of countless human beings, some may think is unlucky enough to be located in a place in our visible universe that seem backward and not central to things, real or imagined, desired by the heart of Mankind.

But the empty reaches of the void of space reflect the unseen reality of the void of the angels, both are extremely hostile to life and to human life most especially. That our one planetary home was purposed to exist far beyond the reaches of things unwanted may not be an "unlucky" thing for Mankind at all - in context of the greater governance of Divine Providence, there is no such thing as luck.

What seem like greener pastures often times turn out to be a temptation not to appreciate and understand what we already have been gifted to possess - a heart that is capable of love, a faith capable of moving mountains and hope in our belongings to each other as human beings.

Should we choose to accept the gifts of peace and turn away from war, and strive to nurture and bring out the microcosm that we see in the universe that exists within each of our souls, built by intelligent design by the one Creator of all things, excruciatingly slow and painfully difficult may each our progress seem to eyes so used to the empty hastening of time and hearts not open to the timeless substance of quickening truth, yet how great indeed, is the potential for wonder that all of the generations of life possess? It is near-infinite, no matter time, distance nor dimensional space, a near-infinite feat of a great and glorious, eternal design.

For each of us, in the peculiar reality of ourselves, must live to order to give unto others the true essence of our own peace so that others may have hope and all of life may continue in the course of exile time to achieve its ultimate purpose, a common destiny for all Mankind - and a Home for all our nations in a timeless, golden place, far, far away from all of this war and suffering, sin and death.

So to love, faith and patience give, and our hope takes to wing.

It's Monday and another work week ahead...

I love you, my loveliest love.

Always to always,

Pusing
