How easy it is for us to have the right talk of faith. But this is the time for us ,each one, to really put into action what we often say. How easy to pray when we have services at our places of worship and when we leave the ediface, application is often forgotten as the week goes on. Too often in our times God has been ignored, made fun of, people who follow him are considered Fanatics or extreme and told to change. God is loving and merciful and I have always shared that in my blogs. But we must remember that God will not be made a fool of. He is not some little guy on the side that we can call in and demand things from or give a list to like Santa Claus. He looks for those whose hearts are stayed on him. There's only one way to make a relationship with Him an that is to spend time with, to speak to, to pray to, and then to listen. It is time, while we are all shut down in our homes, to stop, pray and listen. It is a time for all of us to re-evaluate our lives and see where we went wrong walking away from our God both individually ,in our neighborhoods and communities ,in our country and as a human race. As we make all these promises to God let us remember that these promises are to be kept after covid-19 passes. It is no longer an option. We are one nation under God and we need to start obeying the Ten Commandments and the two Commandments of Love: love God with all your mind, with all your heart , with all your soul ,with all your strength ..and love your neighbor as yourself. We are very fortunate to have television, computers and phones. Let us use them now, not to waste time in greed in purchasing worldly things. Let us use them to grow in our faith, to pray and to learn more about God. For us Catholics EWTN on television is on 24/7 with great Catholic networking ,educational shows, ways to grow up our faith. For other denominations there are many other channels also available. On YouTube one can look up all types of videos on faith, God ,prayer , uplifting music, hope, Scriptures , Saints, the list is endless . Scripture says to pray without ceasing and we have been granted an opportunity to slow down and see how we can apply this to our lives. For those of you with children in your home, rather than be annoyed, see this as an opportunity to draw your family closer to you and to God with you. It is a time to re-establish the family unit ; husband, wife and children and 2 impact our children's lives so that they actually might reflect more their parents rather then their child care provider, then their School teachers. Although it's difficult, it's a wonderful opportunity for us to see where our children are at ..their thinking patterns, their belief system and help guide them to the Light. Sadly sometimes it takes extreme situations to actually be reminded of what matters in life. God matters, people matter, everything else runs second to these. May The God of the Universe, our Higher Power come and reveal Himself to us in ways we never thought possible. May we fall on our knees, cry for our sins, repent, learn more about him and develop an intimate loving relationship with the ONE who knit us together. May He heal and protect all the living, especially all those on the front lines caring for the sick..bless all those in leadership to know what to do ..for those who have died that they may be embraced in the Merciful Arms of God and for all of humanity to look deep in our souls to find God ,to repent of the sins that we have been doing and mistakes that we have been making, repent of them and change and go forward with a new loving intimate relationship with the True living God and may we show that in our obedience to Him. To God Alone be all honor and glory and Power forever!! in Jesus Name i pray! amen. Till next time let's pray Luke 1 asking Mary, the Mother of God, who obviously knew Jesus the most, to show us the way to her Son .
COURAGE!! GOD LOVES U!! HE WILL SHOW US THE WAY!!
