90...weary...preparing for death...unsure if still Catholic

A note to one in their 90s who is tired an weary an wants to go to God.  Often the case for those in their 90s especially those ill an those poorly supported by family an friends. The danger comes wen they may rush God's Hand instead of waiting for His Perfect Time . But this person is wrestling with whether she is still Catholic...an so my response...

"It is with great Love that I write this note to you. I remember you vividly.  A woman of great strength..praise God. a leader of your family. And although our church leaders and members often show they're uglier sides as in many places of worship an society today, we remain Catholic because we fortunately have Truth in Fullness. We r The Church, sinners an saints. You were baptized, made Confession, Holy Communion and Confirmation. You are a sacramental Catholic and that makes you a part of our church. Your Love of the Blessed Mother, your parents & godparents intervention and example to you says you are Catholic no matter what words you use, you are ours. That doesn't mean a perfect Church that doesn't mean a perfect life it means that you can't undo the wonderful Miracles God has done in your life. And the fact that you sacrificed greatly to give your children faith & an education in Catholic schools speaks Worlds 2 me and I know to God. So please stand proudly and Proclaim your being Catholic again, please receive the gifts of the church of healing in confession, anointing of the sick an Holy Communion and the Apostolic Pardon. You deserve these gifts , the sacraments of strength to help you continue to walk through your life until the moment God says come home.  Death is like walking through a doorway, you close your eyes to this world and then open them to the Face of God. How beautiful this transition will be for all of us. Praying for u. Courage. Live cause neither ur doctors, u, nor hospice can predict that moment an it is not our place to rush.

God has deigned to have u alive for a purpose...you still have work to do...luv on those u c...pray for a world in great suffering..beg God to become the saint u were created to b. After death many souls wished they had one more minute to Luv on God an make a contribution. Let God worry about the wen an how...trust Him...dont let mere humans dictate their theories wen God Almighty is The Greatest..All Powerful Father Who loves u an calls u His Own. Live....live well...an then wenever death comes u will b ready...peaceful..knowing Heaven will b urs. I luv u. I promise u my prayers an support. Feel free to call me anytime if u would like to talk ...
 B proud of a job well done an still being done ...because u live...u share...u bless...an ur mission is still not done yet..continue to b everyone's teacher...dont rush God....b encouraged an hopeful...

We trust God to handle everything!  God bless!"

Plz keep this woman an her family an all those in similar situations with their elders close in ur prayers!

Love is our Signature...Feast if Corpus Christi!

I watched a movie Peter on EWTN last night. It is a mini series and part two will play  next Saturday night at 8 p.m. eastern time.  Peter said 2 lines in the movie about Love...an they reasonated with me. I thought i would share them with u .

'The 1st sign we will c to recognize each other as Jesus' followers is the Love we give to one another.'

'Jesus' voice stays inside u like a flame u could never put
out. '

Let's let Love b our signature.

Today is the Feast of Corpus Christi...we Catholics celebrate The Body an Blood of Jesus today....wat He left us on Holy Thursday...Jesus said, "DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME!" ......look for the Processions...some beautiful customs an traditions we have as we rejoice that Christ left Himself here in the Form of Bread an Wine to strengthen an sustain us thru life....to help us perfect Love in our lives so we can become more an more like Jesus!

This site is loaded with articles an quotes on The Real Presence of Jesus.....take some
Time to read some of it.  It will help us Catholics become more fervant wen we receive Holy Communion an it will help those from other faiths to understand why we do wat we do.

Look for virtue.. learn from other religions an Love

I wanted to mention something...at times we can bring up another's Faith in a very negative lite. i recognize that we all think, we have the Truth in Fullness... but often these comments r not brought up to instruct us on the differences of another religion but randomly thrown in our preaching or conversations an done sarcastically at times in hate an prejudice. I would like to suggest a more loving approach.  It is good for us to learn the truth about other religions an necessary to prevemt us from being confused an to b informed, but always with the love an respect Jesus would want us to have with any other human being. St Francis taught us this by example wen meeting with Sultan Malik al-Kamil, the Muslim leader, in peaceful dialogue during war. We have much to learn from all people an all faiths..an ex:  .our Muslim an Hindu friends teach us much in regard to modesty...
discipline in praying regularly an often..
obedience..
family life..etc...an of course they to can learn many things  from us too.This is with all different believers an faiths if we r open.  Just something to consider.  Seek Virtue....an adopt it fir urself!

Jesus said:
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER...."

Plz continue to b an example of wat real holy men look like..we all need that. B assured of my continued prayers an plz remember me in urs. Ty for all ur kindness to me an mine...an to all especially in The Holy Sacraments that save lives!  Your priesthood is a gift to us...ty for ur yes to God.   .God bless...

Married couples struggling

12 am on Mother's Day nite...i stumbled on the movie Fireproof which i have not seen in yrs. I was tired an ready to go to bed but my heart stood up to watch it an wen i see anything regarding marriage i think an pray hard for all marriages. And so i stood up til 2 am...cried thru the movie interceding for all of us...together..separated...an even divorced since even divorced couples r still married in the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church.  Any chance u mite consider watching it together with ur spouse?...an maybe ...just maybe read The Love Dare book one day at a time??........i dont believe in coincidences..
an stumbling upon my friend singing that song I WILL BE HERE an this movie the next day was very unusual....so i suspect God is trying to
get our attention...i actually loved the Love Dare materials because they r applicable in all areas of life in learning how to really Love others not just limited in marriage.  I am looking for my copy to reread an try to apply....maybe u can do the same.

To a single parent of a disabled child

U r a saint in the making ...wat most do each an every day is trivial meaningless work...u carry great things....drive that into ur heart...u carry that beautiful child ...a special child...
everything u do for him or her u r doing to Christ.
May God remind us of this wen the task of a disabled child becomes too great for us....
wen being alone cripples us...may we remember Jesus says He is The Husband of the widow....
that the Presence of Heavenly Beings in our homes is beyond our ability to count...
that our work is The Greatest Work on earth...GOD'S WORK!
Don't u give up...don't u give in...strengthen those weary knees an dig ur heels in ..for our work has a Payoff beyond our greatest imagining...
There is a Heaven...this earth is not it....earth is a passing thru to a Much Greater Reality!!!  Hold on...Courage...
BE STOUTHEARTED
AN WAIT FOR THE LORD!!
...i send u an ur family my deepest prayers...plz pray for me too an lets ask our children to pray for us caregivers for their prayers especially r more powerful than ours!  And yes i have a disabled son too .

Listen to "He's My Son"...my favorite prayer in song ...

Spiritual planning

Sometimes it is better not to meet over lunch for spiritual planning...but rather meet in a quiet room...pray an lite a candle...read a Scripture an then brainstorm in The Spirit...a far better way to really hear from God ...til next time...

Mentally ill

People with severe mental illness often feel others do not believe they r really ill.  They no most speak as if their walk...life an sufferings ..r in vain or have had no value. It is hurtful wen someone illudes to the fact that another's sufferings could b gone in an instant by their laying of hands or some other idea like tough love.  God is in charge even wen we dont understand or disagree with wat is going on in someone elses life.  It is not unusual for people to refer to the mentally ill persons life as a "shame"...as if they have no value...that surely was not a word Jesus would have said to any one. Sometimes people need to gently walk thru life.. ...which includes some work an suffering. 
All God's children continue to evolve in the way that is deigned for them by God ...for healing continues to b a very personal an individual road according to each person's needs, make up, an background. Too much might break someone an too little stagnates growth ...an that line differs for all of us.  Our presentation is vital so not to discourage one soul on their journey...we cannot have all the answers...only God does ....especially wen we have not walked thru with someone.  To those suffering with mental illness i say Don't worry, go forward always taking into consideration all the ideas an input people have given u, taking wat will work for u...wat u discern from prayer as applicable for ur situation an safety an wat u can handle.  I am sure the tremendouse medical teams would shed much lite on those who talk negative about people who r sick an on their limited interpretation of the mentally ill an their sufferings. May we become a blessing to a person suffering with mental illness...dont look far...i am sure there us 1 rt in ur family/friend circle...an if u r sick, hold on...lets listen to

"Maybe its ok"....an see where we fit in.

Ex: reply to someone trying to control ur life decisions

Ty for sharing so much of ur life experience with me yesterday. Although i understand ur approach, after much discernment, rt now i need to gently walk thru this time which is enough work an suffering all its own.   
I also have to continue to evolve in the way that is deigned for me by God ...for healing continues to b a very personal an individual road according to each person's needs, make up, an background. Too much might break someone an too little stagnates growth an that line differs for all of us.  I will go forward with all the ideas an input people have given me, taking wat will work for me...wat i want an discern from prayer as applicable for my situation an safety an leaving the rest. I again always ty for all ur desire to help .

Mistreatment ..abusive relationships

No one deserves mistreatment...... We are not responsible for others lives or their happiness... or their situations and by no means should we internalize anything negative that comes out of anyone.. If we must ...separate from those abusive people who feel they have all the answers for our lives...who beat us up every time we r together.
.. We are God's children...The Lord knows us.. . loves us ...accepts us ..and appreciates us ..we should never let anything rule our peace or our joy ...and if we make a mistake...we can confess an go forward..if we still cant attain peace....we can go to mass or call our priest...go to confession ..go speak to them.. Or visit with a person who truly luvs us an who luvs God..it'll help.
WE R BEAUTIFUL...
HOLY...WISE...
growing by leaps an bounds into the person of God He created us to b....God is strengthening our muscles not to internalize any negative abusive comments any more.... We all r beautiful people who deserve to b treated as such!!!  An wen we fall into criticizing an abusing others ..let us apologize an remember how it feels to b on the receiving end.

Possibly called to b sister..nun..brother or priest

If u even have a passing thought about being called to b a sister..a nun...or a brother or priest...that thought is a good one. Do not share this with anyone who is not holy...no family...only good an holy priests from ur parish...nuns.....sisters..
.because others cannot treasure wat they do not value as Precious. ...keep growing in leaps an bounds an continue drawing closer to Christ so u hear from Him Alone wat He wants from ur life. This is a time of deep discernment. Wait on God!!
