Look for the Whole Truth to bring Light to every situation...God will give that to us if we seek it sincerely...
two things i believe may be gd for us to work on in all our relationships: never assume we no why someone does something...that is judgement an only God knows others' entire situation an make up an reasons for doing things. We must ALWAYS GIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!!! ALWAYS if we want to become saints. .... and we need to work on forgiving our enemies....we need to forgive if we want to continue to find True Peace an become more an more like Christ.
This week was the feast of St Peter and Paul ...two examples of the worst of sinners.. 1 who killed Christians because they believed in Jesus Christ and lived the different way and the other who denied him three times after being with him day and night ..night and day and who when he walked on the water had so little faith he fell beneath the waves with Christ right in front of him. This example shows us that no person is beyond Redemption and that there's always hope and we're supposed to believe and Hope because that's what Love does from 1st Corinthians... it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, Love never fails. If we are foolish then God will reveal it to us ... we understand better the sinfulness an the brokenness and the ugliness and the demonic influence everywhere it is to be found by God's Grace we know but we cannot abandon people who have come to us and so we love on them hoping beyond hope.. praying ,fasting and giving arms that they can be saved in whatever capacity God Himself will do it in whatever way He knows how ..little by little, inch by inch our job is to just continue to have Compassion and Love on His people speaking truth ..gently ,gingerly and continuing to point them towards Gods Altar !
The woman who brings me Holy Communion every day because I cannot get to Mass daily with caring for my Mom at home ... she was going for some tests today at the hospital and I asked her how do you do this and not be really anxious and nervous ?and her answer was delightful:
" Angie I don't care ...I'm just waiting for the Big Guy" and she pointed up toward Heaven...she had a smile ear-to-ear ...an then my reply... "me too Debbie me too" ..I so look forward to seeing Our Lord...just like the words we say at every mass "as we wait in Joyful Hope for the coming of Our Savior Jesus Christ!" ..an in the Light of that...all this stuff in this world is trivial!!! Lets chew on those words from ur elder women in faith...delightful...just delightful!!
Til next time...lets look up toward Heaven this week...an wink at Jesus ...letting Him know we cant wait to finally see Him Face to face one day...not wishing for death but waiting on our appointed time to finally go Home...remember we r pilgrims...just passing thru...sojourners...on our way Home.....MARANATHA !! COME LORD JESUS, COME!!!
I love you all and I'm deeply proud of your hard work with the Lord and your interior work. Keep going ...Eyes On Jesus!!... let nothing distract you to the left or to the right. So proud to call you my true brothers an sisters! And remember ,we want no one to burn in hell forever and hell Is Real and if we can separate and detach, especially from our family, and recognize that they are not just blood relation, but they are daughters and sons of God... true brothers and sisters in the Lord ...we can look at them differently... treat them differently, especially when they are in serious sin. Even if we have been very hurt by them and this be a painful process , be at peace. God may need others to minister to them ...we go forward but remember we must forgive. Lets work on that... Forgiving those who injure us...an forgive me for being so straightforward but our job is to become Saints and that's hard work...BECOME THE SAINT GOD CREATED U TO BE!!! Til next time...God Bless!
