"Jesus is Real - An Attestation to the Truth and 'Divine Logic,' and Seeing Jesus in Magnificence," Pinoy Blogger post

Divine Logic God wants us to be happy in this life as we glorify Christ's Jesus in us, our loving God and Master, being One Spirit with The Father, He is our friend at the same time, He being caring, kind and merciful, compassionate for He gives us hope, an everlasting hope that will never disappoint, for He knows who we are, He being all knowing, and He is in us and everywhere, He being omniscient, He knows the answers about what is true in this life, and God's 'word,' may tells us in the Holy Bible, if only we open our hearts to Him, He who is the power from inside of us, in unity with the Holy Spirit comes Him who is as perfect as God can be, the only begotten Son of God, we are pleased to have Him as God incarnate, as the 'word made flesh.'

He knows what is best for us, He is our Lord and Savior, the true Messiah to judge the living and the dead.

As 'the author of life,' affirmed by Saint Peter, He repays us of our bad deeds and repays and rewards us for our good deeds, and as we open our hearts to Him, in the pureness of our soul, He may reveal Himself to us, His loving presence in our humbled hearts, touching our souls with His embrace, One with God's embrace in His visitation, in the faithfulness of your hearts He may touch you as His chosen one, ready to spread what is true in the gospel, for you to lived up to your mission of being witness of many miracles of faith, miracles you may feel and see not only from your very eyes, but from the many eyes of your faithful soul, His 'words' and teaching touching your kind and contrite heart, to many revelations in signs you may see from the heavens above, from the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, or from many events in your life, as you ponder in the tranquility of your soul, in the silence of your heart, comes His thoughts in your thoughts, or you may hear Him talk or whisper to you, like an angel in your conscience, for the many vessels of truth tells Him what is true about you and the world in the many evens that may come, all attuned to His 'word' for the Holy Spirit is the God of prophetic spirits.

He has condemned evil and will always will, so are the instruments of evil and darkness from among them comes the wicked, the filthy, the murderers, those who have lived with death in their flesh in the misdeeds of the body.

Being one with Him in our love of others sees us in His fullness, as Christ lives in us as the 'fullness of God' in us.

Evil has ruled many of us in this life because of our wrong ways, more evil has comes to invade or peace and true happiness, where instead of believing in Christ as our only Master, we believe in other gods where the false god in Mammon lives in our 'ego,' the engine that builds an unseen wall from within us blinding us of God's truth without us realizing it, we may have allowed him to rule our minds, the devil, the alien in us, where the brain made of flesh may come out unfiltered in the corruption of our minds, corruptions of worldly things blinding us of the light that may free us from all deceptions from darkness, for in this ever shining light is Jesus the Christ, from where greater wisdom may come, all in what is true in 'divine logic,'

The Holy Spirit in us, comes to guide us in 'divine logic,' in the light of the 'word,' where from 'divine wisdom,' comes the filtering of darkness from corrupted 'human wisdom.'

From light to light comes the Almighty power of God comes the One True God from the same Spirit of God, a personification of the Holy Trinity.

For if God is Almighty and all powerful, all knowing, omniscient and omnipotent, 'with God all things are possible.'

It is will remain our 'ego' to block us of this eternal truth, where one faithful Catholic religious director says of  'ego,' an acronym that means, 'edging out God.'

For indeed, 'ego' in 'eros,' a Greek term as the lowest form of love, it tells us of our love of 'self.'

If you feel you have it, may the light shine upon you and see from deep within your mind what 'self pity' means.

As time may pass, as one gets humbled, are we not hating ourselves for we only love ourselves?

If you have experience a great wondrous feeling of being loved by others, better than loving yourself, or a great feeling of peace and happiness in your love of your spouse, your son or daughter, a child you may not know but touches your soul in his suffering, is this not loving others, is this not a greater gift that we may see in our Creator who made sure that it is in loving others in truth, that we may see our love grows connecting ourselves to the greater wisdom from beyond our minds, the spirit from within us that connects to the Spirit of God,

Is this not how God created us, out of His love for us He created us, and the key there is, "He has loved us first,"

In 1 John 4:19, "We love because He first loved us."

Do we not see this in our Creator, do we not see this in Jesus who died for us in the forgiveness of our sins, that in Him, we may have everlasting life?

Do we not feel Jesus in our hearts of love?

Do we not feel our loved one in our hearts of love?

If God has given us freedom with our own 'free will,' may we see 'greater freedom' in our obedience to Him, for He taught us, "love of God and love of others," as God's greatest commandment, and this is LOVING in TRUTH, with no malice or guilt in our hearts, where in the pureness of our soul seeing 'agape love,' the highest from of love, leading us to God's unconditional love, is this not TRUE FAITH in us, leading us to the 'WORD' of God, where the light is adding LIFE to others in our LOVE, a love that is TRUE?

If we cannot love in truth, as we really FREE from within?

If something from inside us bothers us, is this not because we FAIL to FORGIVE, as a component of loving others in truth, even LOVING our ENEMIES to become our life long friends?

If we know that in these, comes the many miracles of our faith, that more may see the fruits of God's love in them and in their household, for they have believed in His 'word.'

Will the many death in wars, bloodshed in many crimes of violence and destruction, homelessness among the poor, is it not our spirit of truth, where our faithfully departed are now living forever with The Lord, telling us, to open our hearts to God and see how we can mend our broken hearts, that from the guidance of the Holy Spirit and His vessels of truth, come our holiness, that Christ may reveal Himself to us with tears of joy in our hearts seeing many people and children saved from destruction and division of relationships, and illnesses caused by man's pride, he who may think, "I am better than God, I don't need Him for I have a mind of my own."

As he may be humbled in illness, in death and suffering of his household and neighbors, will he then see the signs from God that our human minds may always see us defiled by evil words, leading us to sinfulness, where death may comes nearer with the many demons that may add in our sinful lives.

Where is true education then leading to our salvation?

The 'word' of God, and truth in the gospel free us from the corruption of our souls, where truth in 'divine logic' bring us to life, forever with Christ, as worthy and true children of God.

"Love begets love, hate begets hate, but, in God's light comes the 'word' that gives us lasting peace and happiness, for in His light comes 'true faith' as victory over all of darkness and evil in this life in the corruption of our minds (KJOH)."

Many of us suffer because of our fears, our negativity binds us to evil and sin, that we are blinded by our ego to see the Spirit of Christ in us to seek true happiness in life, many of us fail to see what is true in our spirit, to see what is meant by 'letting go' and 'letting God' rule our lives for in our love, comes God's Kingdom in our hearts and souls, witnessing and proclaiming the true miracles of faith that may come as we live in God's grace.

It is the Holy Spirit who wants me to share in God's truth, the truth of our being, that more may be set free, leading to the joys of living in God's Kingdom, which we may feel in our lifetime, as we seek God's righteousness in Christ Jesus our true Messiah, and every believer of this eternal truth may feel His fullness in his heart.

How can we see true joy, peace and happiness if we come to satisfy ourselves first before others?

God has created us 'not' one or two, but many, that we may share our love for one another.

We may have a family of our own to spend this life together, that before we were born, God knew what path we will be taking, all in God's 'divine plan,' He knowing what is in our hearts.

Is it living in God's words and living in the Spirit of God that we may fully understand this mystery?

We may not, as long as we have a hardened mind, fail to understand this mystery and truth, but one thing I have noticed, as I have learned to believe in God's words, surrendering everything in this world at the foot of His cross, my material and emotional pride, has given me much peace and joy from within.

Only then did I realize, with my humbled and contrite heart, that Jesus Christ is my Lord and my only Master, the same feeling that King David may have felt, with The Lord as his Good Shepherd, for in him, there is nothing that he may want to guide and protect him from darkness and evil.

Many miracles in my life have occurred, from my total healing in spirit and in body, to the many blessings that I have seen in my family, so long as I need not worry, just be my best for Jesus and for the love of others, while I work for The Lord in service of Him who has shown me great love and mercy despite all my inequities, in Him I have come to be strong in my spirit, that I may enlighten others to His light, to His 'word,' to His ways.

In Christ's fullness in my being, I have learned not to entertain any malice against another, for everyone needs to be loved and given value, as I may enlighten more people of what Jesus' teaches, how to love in truth, and how to love in the Spirit of God, avoiding to bear false witness against another, for in our 'ego,' we may always fail to enlighten, when in truth, in the humility our hearts, this is when we may see the light in the many eyes of our soul, it is our faith in His 'word' answering the many mysteries of God in my life, and so with the true faithful, with God, many have been set free from the bondage of sin, with no 'ego' to blind them, with The Lord, no fear of darkness and death my bind them from darkness, for light consumes darkness in their souls, where the light of God's everlasting love and mercy shines from within.

God wants to remind us that we have His Ten Commandments to follow and obey, and as Christ came forth conceived in virgin birth through Mary, our Blessed Mother, the mother of God, to live in the Spirit of God as the Son of the forever living God, again, He wants us to follow God's greatest commandments, all summed up to:  loving God with all our hearts, mind and souls, with all our strength; and loving others as God loves us. or as we love ourselves.

Jesus has come to fulfill the Law and not to abolish it, and it is 'love' in truth that He has come to teach.

Again, many things in this world come unfiltered, as we may rely only on 'human knowledge,' all based on 'human intelligence' and 'human wisdom,' is this not what the serpent promised Eve and Adam, the knowledge of 'good and evil,' where he comes short of defining the difference of 'good and evil' in the flesh, where human wisdom rules, not on 'good and evil in truth,' where truth is in the 'word?'

Where is then that filtering element, as you may open your heart to God, the filtering element is in God's words, for God's words are 'active and ever alive,' forever they will be, all in the Holy Bible, complete we you may read from the original text, from NAB (New American Bible), where the Spirit of God in us can best explain to us what has been revealed to the chosen scribes of truth, where only our spirit where God is present in us, may reveal what is true in the bible verses, however one natural person may interpret it (revealed in the salvation tool), the truth is in our spirit, where the vessels of truth from the Holy Spirit, the holy ones in our hearts of love, comes to our souls as gifts of wisdom, understanding and knowledge of what is divine, may we see or perceive from the many eyes given to us by The Lord of Light, from our faithful soul.

Indeed, in the light of Christ, no evil may hide, His truth sets us free.

The devil deceives the many from what is true in this life, that is why many of us do things evil because of money and things passing, with them comes an imperfect time, made imperfect as we sin in their imperfection.

But when will all these become perfect?

In our perfection in Christ, read more on the 'salvation tool' and be freed.

Look around you, whom do you think is the 'false' master, is it not money and things material, where all things passing we may see in the essence of 'time and space,' comes the truth that in this temporary life, is this not God testing us of our faith?

Many are lost as they put their ego first, where evil may see in us our weakness, where we may lie in the flesh, then may come more misdeeds of the flesh.

Believing in truth in 'divine logic' may reveal to us the truth in this life, depending on how deep is our faith, or on how we may see our faith increased on how much things meaningless that we may need to surrender before The Lord, is this not how we may grow in spirit?

How may we humble ourselves to God, to keep our hearts and minds fertile?

Like 'humus' that grows in our souls to remove our blindness from 'true faith,' where in our seeing souls, the many eyes, God reveals in us the many eyes of His Spirit passed on to our souls, that we may see the true meaning of God's love in us, through Christ Jesus as The Lamb of God possessing the ever shining light, He remains our one and only true Master in this life, our one and only true Lord, as the King of all Kings, and Lord of all Lords, our final Judge as the forever living Messiah in our faithful hearts.

Again, we may totally be missing the whole point in this life, which is the 'love' of our Creator in us, and the 'love of Jesus' in us, that we may understand in full the purpose of our being, for Jesus is 'the way, the truth and the life.'

Giving back to Him His truth, is our love for one another, in truth, and see us blessed as we may not doubt, in the perseverance of our faith, and see greater miracles of faith and healing may happen before our very eyes.

Verily, God loves us and wants us back in Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son who ransomed us from sins and evil, that we may have everlasting life in us in the forgiveness of sins, for Jesus is 'love' as God is, and His divine message to us all is 'not to hate,' or we become a 'liar' like the devil when we hate, and how can we be redeemed from 'hellish life' if there is malice in our hearts, as in the revelation of 'Truth in Purgatory' to Saint Catherine of Genoa (links seen from the salvation tool)?

Whoever has seen Jesus has seen The Father, for they belong to One Spirit, the Spirit of God, and where Jesus is the true 'Word of God,' where every word that comes from His mouth are so absolute and so true and perfect; His words are 'active and alive' piercing through our body, our souls, and penetrates down to our bone and marrow that we may know the attitudes of the heart, and his words are as perfect as God can be, for He is God 'incarnate.'

If we utter the same words to help enlighten, the words coming out from thee mouth of God, in all these, we are made instruments of Him who is in us, where His Spirit rules our soul, it is our humbled soul in the obedience of our hearts, that we may become a servant leader of His cause, sharing His light.

If we get misunderstood when we boast of Him, blessed are they who may fail to understand. May the light of Christ, One with the Holy Spirit, shine upon them that they too may possess His consuming light.

If we have proven ourselves deserving of God's love, Christ's listens, that in our prayers for our loved ones, our dearly faithfully departed, we may feel them in our being that they in us, in our hearts of love, are now 'like angels' in heaven, where we feel God's love in us as it is in God's love in them, where in our hearts we may feel God's heavenly Kingdom from within, for Christ is in us, they all lived forever in Christ, in them is the truth in our spirit, the truth that Jesus has already conquered the world that He now judges the living and the dead, He now repays those mortally living of our conduct, and rewards those who do good deeds, that we must hold each other's arms to proclaim of God's truth and be one with Christ in our journey through life.

In the 'breaking of the bread,' comes our unity of our love for one another, bearing with one another all of our imperfections, for we are all sinners in this imperfect life, that from within us, may we be touched by The Holy Spirit to continue to love and forgive, in all these, cleansed by His blood in the Holy Eucharist, comes our perfection in Christ Jesus.

"The time to live in God's glory is 'now,'" that more may see God's Kingdom from within, and the cross as the power of God, may save us, by the cross may we renew our lives in the righteousness and holiness of Christ who died for us.

It remains The Father to chose the ones to live in His vine that He nourishes, by 'divine plan,' He knows what is true in our hearts, that in the glory of The Lamb comes His glory as The Father.

All these truth come from the Holy Scripture, and they remain true forever.

Jesus is the Lamb in the love of The Father and of the human race, as the new creation, that He has to send His Son, to set us free from the sins of our fore-parents, in Adam and Eve.

It is funny we are doing the many sins of Adam and Eve, the sins of pride, is this not the same sins in the 'idolatry of our souls?'

Is this not where false prophets come though wrong and misguided beliefs by way of atheism, agnostics, and non-Christian believers, is this not the lies of the serpent that death may come upon us where we put Mammon as our false god, in money, lust which may create in us living from among the wicked, the filthy and the dogs, unable to control our mouth and our actions in the misdeeds and vanity of the flesh?

Going back to truthfulness may we see 'divine logic' guiding us to our true purpose in this life, where God may lead us back to His only begotten Son, and the Blessed Mother in Mary, in her many apparitions, she wants us to go back to her Son in Christ Jesus, and to stay in His light that true joy and peace may reign in our hearts, so in the hearts of many as we may come together in our faith, sharing the joys of living with The Lord, in His heavenly Kingdom from within us..

The realities of life makes everything passing, meaningless and imperfect.

The prince of darkness, the devil, may never stop deceiving us, not until we may see from within us the truth in possessing God's heavenly Kingdom in us, that we may become a living witness of God's many miracles as we prosper true love, true peace and true joy from our hearts.

The perfection of God's love remains in us, as we may not fear anything of evil, where fear of death follows.

While many things in this life may come imperfect, have you not noticed, do we not see our perfection when we see and feel Christ's holiness and righteousness in us?

As Jesus said after the arrest of Saint John the baptist, "The time is fulfilled, The Kingdom of God is near," as in Mark 1:15 (NIV), "...repent and believe in the gospel,"

"Jesus comes our everlasting hope, comes true peace and joy in our hearts (KJOH)."

It is evil that rules our flesh if we allow our 'ego,' affected by the evil virus, to control our being.

If we fail in understanding because of our 'pride,' is it not our 'ego' that blocks us from learning the truth from within?

Truth in 'divine logic,' in the truth in our spirit, where 'living in the Spirit of God makes us more powerful than living in the flesh,' how then can we ever reconcile eternal truth from the lies of the flesh?

'Love of 'self' (ego), remains the hindrance to true peace and joy in this life.

How can we be freed from our slavery to sin, if we force ourselves to believe that the root cause comes from our 'ego,' leading us to believing that we are better God?

But can we be God?

In mortal death, we cannot be God, but our witnessing of God's heavenly Kingdom is within our hearts of love, coupled with the many miracles of faith that may come along, in healing, in wondrous gifts of talents in us and in our household, in life being added to us as we may escape death in many ways for God's grace is in us in the any events that may come to test our faith, are these not signs from God than His heavenly Kingdom is in us.

If we see deceptions in the corruption of others with things passing, do we not see the truth in the 'word?'

Jesus said, "Anyone who finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it," as in Matthew 10:39 (NIV).

See this reality before our very eyes, the signs of God in our life are real and true, that by His 'word' comes our salvation, adding life to us, adding miracles for Christ Jesus is the bread of life, and the ever shining light that leads us to salvation, where in our hearts of love, we may see a glimpse of the 'new heaven the the new earth' living by God's grace, by God's truth in His light.

If we see us healed with healing herbs, in Ben Sira or Sirach chapter 38 of the Old Testament, we see the 'word' of God leading us back to health and life with healing herbs that God blesses and nourishes to be used by doctors blessed by God, keeping true to their faith.

[Read on:  Evil Virus Spread by Our Ego]

It is 'human logic' that will lead us to the truth in 'divine logic,' as we may learn to open our hearts to God, open our hearts to the love of God, that in Christ, we may see God's love for us blessing us in abundance in our spirit, and in things material and passing as God may allow, and as the Holy Spirit may give us spiritual gifts, so with gifts of knowledge in the love of one another.

All these come from God, through Christ Jesus, who is the light of creation and the light of truth in the Spirit of God, all these we may fully understand as we read on the 'salvation tool,' "Jesus is Real - An Attestation to the Truth, and 'Divine Logic,' and Seeing Jesus in Magnificence."

Get the printed version that you may share with others of what is true in the Spirit of God, all these inspired by the Holy Spirit, where in truth,

God has revealed Himself to me, and all these I share in the many miracles of life.

That in the light of truth comes healing of every family, every nations and of the whole world in the Spirit of God, where Christ Jesus is, he is everywhere, as the fullness of the Deity in bodily form, he is above all things and above all authority, again, as true Messiah, he comes to judge us all, the living and the dead, in this life, in this world, and in the after life, where we all connect with one another in our love for each other, that no evil may rule us, whence we may see, from within our hearts, the Kingdom of God is in us.

May peace and joy come to our hearts of gold, our kindness and generosity of our loving hearts bring us to Christ's fullness in our being, that more lives may be saved as more may see God's Kingdom in their hearts of love,

Where is war, hatred, lust and selfishness if we have the Spirit of God in our being, where Christ reigns forever in 'true faith,' by His grace we live.

Your reactions will be greatly appreciated as you may see greater revelations from the Holy Spirit reading in full the 'salvation tool' on 'Divine Logic,' as we may give value to one another, in truth and in the love of Christ.

May we see God's fullness in your being in Christ, for 'God's words' are forever eternal and will never pass away.

Blessings to you all as we continue to pray for one another to spread what is true in the light of Christ.

Changing Tracks: Mario Joseph, Muslim Imam convert to Catholic Priest and Preacher - Taped Interview on YouTube with Cristina Casado

A great revealing interview with Mario Joseph, the Muslim Imam - formerly known as Moulavi Sulaiman - who converted to the Roman Catholic Christian faith, now a guest in this Youtube recorded show:  Changing Tracks with Cristina Casado to talk about his conversion.

In 1 John 4:8 (source:  biblehub.com,NIV), "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

In the process of  his interview, Mario Joseph, an ordained Catholic Christian priest, the following important parts of the interview are worthy of note (thanks again to my friend, Bob Villasor for sharing me this very important youtube video reference via email) that more may be inspired to share the light of truth in Christ with all others who may seek God's kingdom and His righteousness:



What does the Koran says about Mohammad and about Jesus?




"The name of the Prophet Mohammad I found in Koran 4 places.  But the name of Jesus I found in 25 places.  There itself I was a little confused.  Why does the Koran gives more preference to Jesus?'


"And second thing, I could not see any woman's name in Koran.  Prophet's Muhammad's mother's name or wife's name or children name, no.  In the Koran, there is only one woman's name I found:  Mariam (Mary), the mother of Jesus.  No other woman's name.'

"And in the Holy Koran, Chapter 3, the name of the chapter is "Family of Mariam," and the Holy Koran Chapter 19, the name of the chapter itself is "Mariam."  I was very curious to know why the Koran say all these things?  About Mariam, Holy Koran Chapter 3 verses 34 onwards, says that 'Mary was born without original sin.  She never commited any sin in her life, she was ever virgin.'


"Koran Chapter 3 verse 23 says that she went to Heaven with her physical body.  Even the Assumption is in the Holy Koran.'


"And then about Jesus, I read Chapter 3 verses 45-55 verses, there are 10 points which the Koran makes about Jesus.  The first thing Koran says, the Arabic word which means 'Word of God,' and the second things which means, "Spirit of God." And the third is 'al-Masih' which means 'Jesus Christ.'  So Koran gives the name for Jesus:  'Word of God,' 'Spirit of God,' 'Jesus Christ.'


"And then the Koran says Jesus spoke when he was very small like 2 days after his birth.  He began to speak.  Koran says that Jesus created a live bird with mud.  He took some mud, formed a bird, then He breath into it and it became a live bird.  So I think he can give life.  He gave life to mud clay.'


"And then Koran says that Jesus cured a man born blind, and a man with leprosy, etc.  Curiously, the Koran says that Jesus gave life to dead people, Jesus went to heaven, He is still alive and will come again.'


"When I saw all these things in the Koran, my thinking was what the Koran says about Mohammad.  According to Koran Prophet Mohammad is not the 'Word of God,' not the 'Spirit of God,' never spoke when he was 2 days old, never created any bird with mud, never cured any sick people, never raised any dead people, he himself died and according to Islam he is not alive and he will not come back.'


"So there was a lot of difference between these two prophets.  I did not call Jesus God.  My idea was, 'he is a prophet but he is a prophet greater than Mohammad."


Then Joseph asks of his Arabic teacher of 10 years in Arabic college how God created the universe, and he said, "through the Word," and when he asked, 'Word as Creator or creation?' His teacher was very careful in answering the question and may have felt he was being tricked.   

When Joseph concluded that since the Word of God is the Creator, then "Jesus is the Creator, then the Muslims must become Christians," his Arabic teacher was irritated that he told him to get out, and so Joseph further narrates...  


"Suppose if he says the Word is creation, he will be trapped, you know why?  He said everything created through the Word.  Suppose if he said the Word is creation then how did God create the Word?  So he cannot say the Word is Creator, he cannot say the Word is creation so he was quite angry he pushed me out of his room and said, 'Word of God is not the Creator nor the creation, you get out of here,' he said.'




If you see things so clearly, why do you think Muslims do not convert to Christianity?




"They try to prove, they say, 'the Word is not the Creator, not the creation, the Word is not God. Not God.  Not the Creator, not the creation, so not God."

"So they don't equal with God that's all their problem.  So then when he said that, I told my teacher,
'Word is not the Creator, not the creation, that is why Christians say the Word is Son of God.'

"Then he told me if there was a son of God I must show him the wife of God.  Without wife, no chance of having a son.  Then I showed a portion from the Koran:  Koran says that God can see without eyes, God can talk without tongue, God can hear without ears, it is written in Koran.  I said if that is the case, He can have a son without a wife.'

"So there we had a big argument and you know at the end what I did?  I took my Koran, put it on my chest and I said, "Allah, tell me what I should do?  Because your Koran says Jesus is still alive, Mohammad is no more.  You tell me whom should I accept.

"After my prayer I opened my Koran, I did not ask anyone, I asked only my Allah. When I opened Koran I saw Chapter 10 verse 94.  You know what Koran says?  (He said the verse in Arabic then translated it to English) "If you any doubt in this Koran which I give to you, go and read the bible or ask the people, those who read the bible, the truth is already revealing that."



What prompted you to become a baptized Christian (now being a Catholic Christian):



"So if you ask me who made me Christian? ... but the Holy Koran converted me to Christianity (referring to his previous story of his being led to that given Koran verse after praying to his Allah for enlightenment).'



What happens to those who will accept Jesus as their Savior?



"In John 1:12, it is written in the Bible that anyone who accepted Jesus, Jesus will give them power to become children of God."



The joy in believing in Jesus:


"When I know that it was my last moment of death (as his dad tried to kill him for believing in Jesus), I thought anyway Jesus died, but he came back.  If I believe in Jesus, and die, I too may get my life, you know. A kind of joy, it is better to die in Jesus.'



When he was about to be killed by his father, uttered the name of 'JESUS' and was saved:


"When I decided, suddenly, a light fell on my forehead.  A moonlight, something fell on me.  And there was a kind of electric shock, something passed throughout my veins. I was so energized from somewhere the energy flowing through my body.  I could not control myself.  There was so much energy in my bones.  I pulled my dad's hand down, and I cried out 'JESUS!'



"When I cried out, my dad fell on the ground.  When he fell with the knife which he was holding there was a big wound on his chest.  And there was bleeding, and some kind of foam coming from his mouth and he was screaming.'



"And all were shocked:  my brothers and mom, my sisters.  They don't know what was happening.  So they thought my dad was already dead.  They took my dad to the hospital.  When they were running to the hospital, they forgot to lock my room from outside."



How he escaped:


"And I was in an energy that I cannot tell you because I was like I was only born, no food so many days, more than twenty days.  New born but with a lot of energy.'



"So I just came out, put on my dad's clothes, and ran into a taxi on a way straight to get out (and the taxi driver was a Christian who knew what were his issues, he helped him providing him food, candies, he became his best friend with whom he has contact every now and then)."



He knows and believes that Jesus is everywhere:


"That day (having survived the whole harrowing ordeal with his dad), I know that Jesus is alive, even now.  Whey I call him.  Everywhere I know that he(Jesus) is present.'



 "(Reiterating if he believed in the many gods and goddesses in India, he said he is not certain what happens when he dies)  But in Christ, who died, but he came back.  So I have a hope if I die in Christ, I will come back.  So it is better to be sure of death, and that should be in Christ.'



"I am not afraid of death but that is a fact.  The only thing I am thinking: after my death, what?'



"To have eternal life, you need Jesus."



Destiny after death in Islam, Buddhism or Hinduism - "uncertain:"


"You have to think like this, when Prophet Mohammed died, he was buried but we don't know where he went.  If I believe in him and die, I don't know where I will go (so with those who believe in Buddhism of Hinduism, people lived and died in India, Mario's country, and says he does not know where they went).'



As Christians, where do people go after they die as they get purified in Christ?:


"But only in Christianity Jesus took my sin, my punishment, and removed sin from me, and He made me pure, and He can surrender me to God.  The Father saying he's pure.  I have purified, I have taken all his transgressions, his punishment and his sins. so now you can take him to heaven.'


"So Jesus is my Savior.  He's a perfect man, because I am man.  My Savior should be a man.  And He is perfect to God because I need eternal life; Only God can give eternal life.'


"It's very simple to tell you.  The consequences of sin is death.  So, to remove the death what you must do ... to remove the darkness you must bring light.  The same way, to remove death you must bring life.'



Whose sacrifice is needed for eternal life?:


"Whose life?  In the Old Testament they were giving the life of animal, because they believe the life in blood and animal blood.  And Muslims are doing this even now.  But to remove my death, I need eternal life.  From where I can get eternal life?  Only from God.  And that is given by Jesus on the cross.'



The essence of salvation in the body and blood of Christ and the power of the Holy Eucharist in the Catholic faith:



"So when I partake in His body and in His blood, I am partaking in His life.  I am becoming part of His life.;'


"That's why Jesus calls me 'brother.'  And Jesus and we both call God "Daddy."  You know, it's a union in God, and we are obtaining eternal life.  So to receive always, you must be a Catholic.'


"Because Jesus clearly said, "If you eat of my body, if you drink my blood, you shall never die.  Even if you die, I will raise you."


"So, that's why I decided to become Christian, especially a Catholic."



What is the message to Europe regarding the new global evangelization trust in Christ?:


"In Revelation 2:2-4, "God himself says I know the hard work you did for me.  Spain did lot of hard work for the name of Jesus, and I know how much you suffered for me.  Lot of suffering we have gone through for Jesus.'


"And I know how you tolerate the false prophets.  Spain has faught false prophets for many years, and then God says, but now I have a complaint against you.  You lost that first love, get back that love.  So then to Europe God is saying only one thing:  get the same love back.".

"So then to Europe, God is saying only one thing:  'Get the same love back.  How your forefathers where here - get back.'

"And we all will pray for that and we will work for that.  That's all my ambition."



Amen.  God bless Catholic Christian convert priest and preacher, Mario Joseph.


I strongly feel the Holy Spirit in him.  He is an instrument of truth in Christ, and "boasts in the Lord," in his openly declared ambition, selfless with no malice, and in the purest of intentions.

As in 1 Corinthians 1:31(source:  biblehub.com,NIV), "Therefore, as it is written:  "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord." 

"God in Jesus calls on us to unite in Him, and by the power of God's words, in Jesus' mighty name, staying empowered in His lighted path with the crucified Christ in each and everyone of us, may we fearlessly enjoin Him, as we journey through life in Him and with Him to lead us back to the glory of God's love in Christ that we may all conquer the world in PEACE in His LOVE and COMPASSION and free it from the bondage of deception, malice, selfishness and pride, from the bondage of sin, in hatred and vengeance, senseless killings including abortion and violence, in worldly relationships and lust, in making money in Mammon as master in the idolatrous offender and deceiver who is but desperate to propagate only evil in darkness."   

"To God be the glory, as we may 'let go' of all our fears and find more meaning in this life, as we may live in faith and strive to be perfect seeking God's kingdom in Christ's righteousness, in good deeds and kindness, in love and forgiveness, as we may put our trust in Jesus, our Lord and Savior, our true Master and King, and 'let God.'"

"Hallelujah to the Lamb!"

"The Truth in Purgatory as in the Vision of Saint Catherine of Genoa"

"The Treatise on Purgatory - Saint Catherine of Genoa" from www.catholictreasury

You may not believe in Purgatory, but this may change your outlook in life as Saint Catherine of Genoa shares her vision of Purgatory in her life long devotion to God as you read through our above link.

 I was just ticketed for parking violation.  My lovely wife reminded me on a Thursday morning of July 2011 that I should go look out from the balcony of the apartment building we are staying in Los Angeles, California, and see the ticket on my car's windshield.

Sure enough, I saw the familiar small white envelope on my car's windshield.  It was my second parking violation ticket, and a charge of another $68 will be another slash on our budget.  And to think, I can't imagine that I forgot all about the need to re-position my car the day before when me and my 18 year old son had just done a pretty good hand wash on it two days before the traffic enforcer caught it sitting on that side of the road where the city street sweeper truck was scheduled to do its cleaning routine for that week, and almost all the time that day before, I was just proudly gleaming at it enjoying the sight of my newly washed car that saved me around $10.

Oh well, as they say, "if something will go wrong, it will go wrong," and I have to admit of my human weakness, and I rejoice in acknowledging my weakness in my forgetfulness as I am made whole in Christ every time I see myself humbled.  And I am happy for those who accept their faults for it is this acceptance of what is true that one learns to renew and better himself and stand strong as witness to God's truth in his words.

I just have to console myself that, perhaps, the city needed more funds to cover its bigger deficit.  And spending $68 for six months parking near the sidewalk is not really bad, huh?

With a weak faith, the evil one could have easily ruined my day, but the Holy Spirit seems to be reminding me always not to worry, for worrying will not add a single hour or day in my life, as Jesus has said to his disciples in Matthew 6:27.

And in 2 Corinthians 11:30, Saint Paul in Christ states, “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that will show my weakness.”

What can happen worse is a possible heated conflict among individuals because of a disagreement over flimsy things such as anything material that is never worthy of any argument, as all things that one cannot bring along upon one's death, these becoming eventually meaningless.  And it is in treasuring things that may bring one to eternal life, for me, is more worthy of keeping in one's heart and spirit, and being steadfast in our faith that we may never falter in sharing this truth with our family and love ones, if we truly love them and care for them.  And is this not the words of God that we should learn to seek and adhere to?

That is why, for me, the essence of faith and obedience in His words through Christ Jesus has become an important guide in my life, and I know that anything material cannot be brought along when I will be called by God Almighty telling me my ''time is up.'

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, Saint Paul, after he admonished everyone to live in peace with each other, to encourage the timid to help the weak, to be patient with everyone, nobody to pay wrong for wrong and to always be kind to each other and to everyone else, he said, “Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

And the more I live my life, the more peace and happiness comes in my heart and spirit as I reflect on above powerful verses.

In above example, there is nothing that compares with attuning your life in humility and obedience to God's will through God's words in Christ and his commandments, that we can better prepare ourselves ready and duly cleansed and worthy of God's embrace even while we live this life, as Purgatory in itself.


Essence of Purgatory 

The essence of Purgatory coincides with the truth in Christ's teachings and it clarifies the meaning of retribution, confession of sins, forgiveness of sins, prayer and repentance with renewal, and Purgatory's state compared with heaven and hell.

Here on earth, according to Saint Catherine,  we can already start cleansing our selves from all sins and from all impurities in our hearts and spirit, as we prepare for the afterlife, when we will one day be with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven, as she has done so herself, manifest in her life long dedication to God, in humility and total obedience to His will, especially in her last 10 years of her life serving and showing her selfless sacrifice in the care and love of others.

Come to think of it, how can we be accepted in heaven if we still are attached to things material, to our pride, to sins of lust and other sins that make our souls unclean and unfit to ever be worthy of God's embrace in His Heavenly Kingdom?

Will it not help for us to approach all things that is set forth before us as trials from the Lord, and that he may not burden us with something the we cannot bear or endure, so long as we stay faithful to him?

In Romans 6:11-14 St. Paul states, “In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”


2 Corinthians 10:3-5 exhorts us in St. Paul, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”


That is why, whenever I experience something that goes wrong, I pray for a better understanding of all these and rejoice in God's blessings instead of uselessly panicking and getting tempted with the thought of something that is here to test my patience and my faith, as I always trust in the Lord that nothing on earth can ever be greater than Him and His love for all of us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

And in everything unexpected that happens in this life, I believe, blessings will soon come in abundance through faith in Christ Jesus, as has been proven many times in my life with my family.

A few days after my parking violation, we saw a long beautiful cabinet table sitting near the recycling bin, seemingly slightly used and made of good material.  For whatever reason the former owners discarded it is the least of my concern, but it fit very well our need for our bedroom TV and the need for extra drawers to duly help organize a few clutter in our room.

We felt that this saved us another $200 or so if we opted to purchase a similar versatile table.

"God is really good," I said to my wife, "he provides us with what we need."  My wife smilingly nodded with glee in her eyes.  To think it is not the first time that we experienced God's goodness.

In Proverbs 37:4, “Delight yourself with the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

And it is in the guidance and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit that we can further be guided in this truth as we continuously thank God for giving us the desires of our heart.

Let us now get into the life of Saint Catherine of Genoa before we summarize to you the essence of God's revelation to her about Purgatory in 'The Treaties of Purgatory."


Saint Catherine and Her Faith

As early as in the young tender age of 13, Saint Catherine has already confessed of her wish to enter into the convent of Santa Maria del Grazie, in Genoa, Italy.  This house of the Augustinian Canonesses of the Lateran was where her elder sister, Limbania, took the vow as a nun.

When her confessor heard this, he immediately told the young Catherine of the difficulties of the life of the religious to which she responded with such 'prudence and zeal' that amazed Father Cattaneo Marabotto prompting him to see in her something that is 'not human but supernatural and divine.'

She grew up to become a tall and beautiful lady with a 'well shaped body, fair complexioned and possessed dark eyes.  It did not take long before her elder brother, Giacomo, who inherited her father's wealth and possessions when he passed away, planned her betrothal to Guiliano  Adorni, from the powerful Ghibeline family, with the support of her mother, and she was left with no choice as she accepted this cross to carry in blind obedience to her mother and her elder brother.

Her husband was described of possessing a 'strange and recalcitrant nature who wasted his substance in disorderly living.'  But as years passed, she was exposed to practicing a certain commerce with the world.  Until her conversion in 1474 during the Eve of Saint Bernard when she fell down unconscious from prayer as she saw a vision of our Lord covered with blood from the cross from whence, she cried out loud, "No more of the world for me! No more sin!"

She devoted the rest of her life caring for the sick while being guided by the Ladies of Mercy and living in a life of prayer.  She was able to obtain from her husband a promised that she would live with her as a brother, which he kept.  She lived in utter sacrifice and avoided all kinds of worldly temptations.

A few years after her conversion, her husband joined her in her works of mercy after he himself received the third order of Saint Francis.  And in 1497, she nursed her husband until he died, extolled her of all her virtues in his will and left her all his possessions.

Saint Catherine suffered in her life while serving and caring for sick as 'rector of the hospital with unlimited powers.'   She so arranged that her prayerful devotions and her ecstasies will not interfere in her activities while she cared for the sick.  And in total humility and faith in the Lord she happily joined our Creator on the 15th of September, 1510.

Recorded by Mrs. Charlotte Balfour, as extracted from Saint Catherine's writings, "We should not wish for anything but what comes to us from moment to moment," Saint Catherine told her spiritual children, "exercising ourselves none the less for good. For he who would not thus exercise himself, and await what God sends, would tempt God. When we have done what good we can, let us accept all that happens to us by Our Lord's ordinance, and let us unite ourselves to it by our will. Who tastes what it is to rest in union with God will seem to himself to have won to Paradise even in this life."

Saint Catherine's doctrine, "The Treatise of Purgatory

In conceptualizing her vision of Purgatory, Saint Catherine states that those in Hell are careless in their salvation while those in Purgatory are those whose guilt have been wiped away from the moment of their death as they have acknowledged their sins and have earnestly 'repented for their offences against divine goodness,' with their pain ever lessening with the time.

Both those in Hell and Purgatory have 'no more free will' upon the time of death, with those in Hell having the will to sin, and 'bears the guilt with them throughout eternity,'  as they suffer the pain they would have to endure without end.

Men dead in sin merit infinite pain for an infinite time, but God's mercy only allotted to him at a given  time and has determined the quantity of pain, in justice 'God could have given him more pain.'

Saint Catherine emphasized, "O how dangerous is sin committed in malice! Hardly does a man repent him thereof, and without repentance he will bear its guilt for as long as he perseveres, that is for as long as he wills a sin committed or wills to sin again."

If you try to examine your conscience, do you in anyway feel bad or feel the pain, sorrow, grief and the guilt as you sin such as wantonly denying the words and commandments of God and in Christ by:

1. lying before others to suit your own selfish desires and satisfaction and not accepting who and what we really are and not asking forgiveness for our sins and iniquities;
2. bearing as a false witness against another;
3. your ill intent to defraud, malign or punish another out of your own selfish desires, out of envy, jealousy. or out of undue retaliation or vengeance;
4. your non-forgiveness, persecuting others, including yourself, by letting them or yourself suffer the pain, either physical or emotional, out of self-pity, your own anger, selfishness, pride, vain conceit, with your continuous tirade of demeaning words, insults, blames, curses or slander against something done which merit not anything that may be noble, righteous, or worthy of praise, and out of love, that disrespects the dignity of your neighbor whose body made in God's image and likeness becomes a sacred temple of God, and against anything which you yourself may have also been guilty of before;
5. or an opinion or point of view which goes against the words of God and the evil outcome thereof;
6. coveting, claiming or using without due permission or authority what is not yours or belongs to your neighbors;
7. vanity and love for material things more than our love and our trust in God through Christ Jesus, and through our love of others, that God, not we or anything material, may be glorified;
8. and all other sins of lust you can think of? 

If we feel no remorse or any guilt in any of the aforementioned sins of malice, we may be bound to Hell where there is the absence of God.

And Saint Faustina, in her 'Vision of Hell,' where God revealed to her the different tortures of Hell that all may know about the truth and the reality of the existence of Hell, also complements the revelation of God on Saint Catherine about Purgatory.

The pain of those damned in hell, however, is still 'not infinite in quantity' as the 'dear goodness of God sheds the ray of His mercy even in Hell.'

Only God knows what punishment one will need to endure in Hell or in Purgatory, depending on how we have lived in this life and depending on the depth of our prayers as we pray with all our heart and in all sincerity, that through our good deeds and love for others, our God of love and mercy and forgiveness, through Christ our Lord and Savior, may hear and  listen to us.

God wants us to continue to be prayerful, as we praise. thank and show how we adore Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, and to follow him, what we may be guided in his light, and be willing to share this light too with others as we show our genuine love can concern for our neighbors, starting with our own family.

Is it not apparent that it is in loving God and others that we truly see a more fulfilling, noble, honorable and respectable way of loving ourselves?

Praying for our dearly departed love ones, and for others worthy of our prayers, for God's rays of love, mercy and forgiveness to possibly cleanse those still in Purgatory as a show of our love and concern for them, as we believe in the power of the love of God and the power of prayers, is this not what God wants of us, a show of our intense faith through our love for others?

In Mark 11:24, Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”  

And may God's greater wisdom in the Holy Spirit guide us in our faith that through it all, God knows what is in our hearts as He is all knowing, almighty and powerful.  Obedience and humility to His will makes us whole in Him, and believing that in His time and in His way, He knows what is best for us as He answers at best our prayers as part of His greater plan for us all, that we may remain in His light and not turn to where darkness is for in our doubts and in our pride come our weakened souls onto temptation from the evil one, in deceit that feeds malice in our flesh to satisfy hunger in our ego.

In everything, may our spirit be stronger in the humility and obedience of our hearts and souls to God, ever abiding in Jesus in our faith, for as always, may we see greater wisdom in believing in God's will upon us all, as in the Lord's Prayer, "God's will be done," as we may as soon, in our faithful and loving patience, 'taste and see the goodness of the Lord.'

In John 15:7, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”


And in Matthew 19:26, Jesus Said, "With God, all things are possible."

[Read our related post on:  "... 'Jesus Saves' via Christaninsal.Over-blog.com, on Love in Christ, Mama Mary and the Saints" as you may want to seek for further enlightenment in God's words.]

Saint Catherine reminds us too that those committing malice who refuse to repent and renew, they shall bear its guilt for as long as they persevere, that is, for as long as they will to commit the sin or they will to sin again, they may be in danger of being bound for Hell if in this life they continue to sin in malice and refuse to totally cleanse themselves of this sin.

We are being admonished by Saint Catherine, by divine enlightenment, to be stronger in our faith than our cravings for anything material, to be selfless in our love for God and of others, less we want to suffer Hell, as early as in this life.

Through it all, knowing and believing that we have the crucified Christ in us, in "laminin," the protein molecule that binds the cells and tissues together that make us one body, and yes, it is in a form of a cross, we need to be stronger in this life as we carry our own cross while being strong in the Spirit of Christ, and that in Christ there is hope, for in Christ and with Christ there is everlasting love and mercy as we may live in His truth, in His light and by His redeeming and sanctifying grace.

It is in dying to one self and being one with God through Christ Jesus, and in Christ, that one may experience this feeling of ecstasy in him as he experiences his oneness with God.

She likens our cravings for material things as similar to one who, by instinct, cannot but bear living without bread in this life, to which one reacts so strongly with the pain felt so intense with its absence that one is experiencing Hell, his impatience and his will may lead him to be damned in Hell, as his will may become wholly and solely focused on the bread which he so desires.

But for one who lives in restraint and is able to deny himself of his worldly cravings and has accepted the words of Christ as the real and true food for himself in this life, may very well be freed from guilt, as he would bear every pain and suffering necessary to see God in Christ Jesus, our true Savior who has brought us life and love.


Life Cycles Toward God or Mammon

Leaning towards God through Christ, may very well conform with Saint Christine's message of renewal and redemption that may cleanse one's self and may lead to eternal life, as opposed to that vicious cycle towards evil that lead to Mammon and Hell.

Let me try to simplify the two vicious cycles that may either make or break relationships in our life, and these are as follows:

1) one with God as master   >>>   any given situation   >>>   practice love, humility, forgiveness, sharing using God's words and Commandments as weapons and tools    >>>    be joyful, pray, and give thanks     >>>    avoid conflict     >>>     peace and love     >>>    more productive, efficient and fruitful in the light of truth in Christ    >>>    HEAVEN

note: above cycle may continue until death, and onto eternal life, may lengthen life, and more importantly, may lead to HEAVEN

as compared to:

2) one with Mammon (material things, money, sins of lust, power, wealth)     >>>     any given situation      >>>    worry, blame, dig on past mistakes using pride, selfishness, human wisdom and intelligence or hurting/lethal weapons as tools      >>>     injuries, death,     >>>     conflict, unforgiveness, hatred, vegeance     >>>     goes back to worry, blame, etc. = vicious cycle of never ending conflict, inefficiency and new unproductive situations are created with snowballing effect     >>>     growing Mammon in the absence of God in Christ   >>>   HELL

note: above cycle may continue until death, and it may shorten life, and sadly, may lead to HELL, even as early as in this life, especially when there is the absence of God in one's life

Do you see now the clearer picture and the root causes of good and evil? Which cycle would you rather choose?



Two Rays of Light from God for Cleansing

Saint Catherine talks of two kinds of rays from the enormous light from God. One that purifies and another that destroys all the imperfections in our soul, and destroys the 'self' in us, although already in the state of the absence of guilt with complete repentance made during our lifetime.

This 'self' refers to our inner being that has caused us to sin in malice, pride and selfishness.

As we have accepted the love of God in Christ, there is a need for our purification, one free from all imperfection as one takes away the rust from his soul until it becomes pure as gold ready to face God and be one with Him.

Earlier in this life, God wants us to already purify ourselves from any imperfection that we may be cleansed from sin and from all guilt in confession and repentance, followed with total renewal that anytime we are called, we are purified and sinless, as well as guiltless to perfection, ready to be one with him in eternal life.

In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus tells the crowd and his disciples, “You have heard that is was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Commentary on - "New York Challenges Defense of Marriage Act" on Yahoo News, and on Denying Christ

"New York Challenges Defense of Marriage Act" on Yahoo News"

Listening to God's words and reflecting on them as we pray for continued guidance in the Holy Spirit make us better understand His wisdom in Christ Jesus.

In John 2:22-23, as it is written, “Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus in the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist – he denies the Father and the Son. No one denies the Son and the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”


Reading on our above post link, there has been so much hype on "Same Sex Marriage" and now it is endangering our closely guarded freedom through the "Defense of Marriage Act," and we take from Christ's words that it should be protected, otherwise, we may only be inviting more temptations into our lives promoting the sins of lust.

And if we are here to protect more lives and prevent more suicides out of disillusionment, despair, depression and depravity, are we not adding more by promoting "same-sex marriage," and further confusion and hatred in this world as we encourage self-pity rather than true love of others if we promote sins of lust?  Or would opening one's heart and spirit to Christ for physical (that is, both mind and body) and spiritual healing help and provide a better solution?

Is the "pursuit of freedom and happiness" the right of the few endangering the right of the many then justifiable?

[Please read further with truth on God's words on:  "'Love' and Saint Paul, Love of God and Self-Pity"]


Any action that may create economic activity is not necessarily for the common good or is it?

Porno magazines, X-Rated DVD's and other pornographic materials, Gay Bars, Prostitution Dens and the like, are these promoting good values that will prosper community building or will these only help destroy relationships and families and continue to eat into the moral fiber of society?

God does not want us to rush in our judgments like our great great grandparents in Adam and Eve did when they ate the forbidden fruit, rather, weigh them carefully before getting into activities that promote sins of lust, while reflecting on the truth in His words through His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, our True Redeemer and Messiah.

Think of the ill effects of such activities on our family.  Asking ourselves what if these happen to our love ones?  Do we have the moral authority to tell them and enlighten them to what is wrong when we ourselves are doing or tolerating what is sinful or lustful?

Have we not noticed how evil things we may have been doing in the past gets back to us through our love ones?

Many times, it is always better to refrain from what is forbidden by God than regret the consequences later on.

God knows everything that happens around us, and He 'will repay' what is due to evil doers.  And repayment may be as fast as it may happen while we spend our life here on earth, or, it may happen in the afterlife, when we will be called for retribution on the day of judgment.

In Romans 12:17-19, Saint Paul reminds the many of words of God, "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eye of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘it is mine to avenge, I will repay, ' says the Lord."

And in Psalm 95:8-11, it states, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah (means quarreling), as you did that day at Massah (means testing) in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me, though they had seen what I did.  For forty years I was angry with that generation.  I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways.”  So I declared an oath in my anger, “They shall never enter my rest.”

While God in Christ Jesus wants us to love our neighbors, we have a responsibility to abide by his words of truth, as we can only boast of his words and be guided by his words as in 1 Corinthians 1:17-31.

Further, in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, St. Paul says in all humility, devoid of eloquence or superior wisdom, but with love and in truth in the spirit and with the crucified Christ, “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.”

And writing about the ‘Wisdom of the Spirit,’ St. Paul states in 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, “We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:


          "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him…”


         "but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.


        "The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught but the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment:


        "For who has knows the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”


        "But we have the mind of Christ.”


On God’s temple in us and the power of humility with no malice towards anyone as against bickering and hatred brought about by divisiveness, St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 3:16-23. “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.


        "Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Caphas or the world or life or death or the present or the future – all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”

Anyone who sins in lust and promotes this sin or any other sin is not a follower of Christ but one who denies Christ and follows evil.  How can one live in peace if he denies Christ?

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 exhorts us in St. Paul, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

Romans 6:11-14 St. Paul states, “In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.”

May we find our faith going stronger as we become witness to Christ’s teachings in our own homes as we continue to pray and ask for his blessings, his guidance and protection to keep our family intact and safe from the evil one with the love of Jesus in our hearts.

Commentary on - "'Jesus Saves' via Chritianinsal.over-blog.com," on 'love in Christ', NDE, Mama Mary and the Saints

Here is my honest belief and commentary on above post linked from Over-blog.com as I continue to pray for our guidance and enlightenment through the Holy Spirit. My purpose in this blog is not to malign or condemn anybody, rather, to be an instrument of the truth in God's words in my own expression of my love and concern for others, as one having seen the light, that they too may see the light of Christ with the message of unity among men towards love and forgiveness, irregardless of one's religious, political, philosophical or ideological inclination and to willingly share it with others, among members of their community and with the rest of the world.

Mama Mary and the Saints

I so too believe that the Blessed Virgin Mother is the Mother of Christ as presented in the scriptures.

A deeper meaning comes, that she is the Main Vessel of the Holy Spirit, best explained on the 'tool of salvation' on e-book inspired by the Holy Spirit, "Jesus is Real - An Attestation to the Truth ..."

She loves us so much as she has loved Jesus, her Son, who is the Son of God.

As Catholics, we honor Mama Mary as such as she has become the chosen one of God who would bear His Son, with the Angel Gabriel himself being sent by our Heavenly Father to give meaning to this great and joyful revelation, just as Jesus has been the chosen One of God to be the Son.

While the Blessed Virgin Mother has been so honored, just like many other saints who have lived with Christ and in Christ, contrary to what others insist that they are being worshiped when they are not, rather accept them as well loved intercessors to Christ Jesus, with the power of the Holy Spirit extended to them as they have all become one with Christ, and Christ is still, the one and only "Mediatrix of All."

Mama Mary was born 'sinless,' as her nephew, John the Baptist's parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth were also righteous and 'blameless' before God as in Luke 1:6.  Mary was 'favored in fullness of God's grace' being 'with the Lord,' as in Luke 1:28.  Nobody was worthy except her to become the mother of God in Jesus as this has been God's plan for her among all elect even before creation, that Jesus' victorious death and resurrection may be fulfilled.  This special role is indeed worthy of great praise and thanksgiving as we are blessed in her holy presence ever guiding us towards the love of her Son, Jesus, as all the others saints, whether physically present or not in this life, have tirelessly and relentlessly continued to do so, inspiring us in our faith in Jesus.

It is no wonder that many miracles and apparitions have been credited and recorded to Mama Mary's name because of the love that she has shown for mankind and for those who believe in her Son, Jesus Christ, that their love for Jesus may grow.

If the love for Mama Mary can be so intense, it is because she personifies the ever loving mother we have in heaven, who from the beginning, has been ever faithful and obedient to our Heavenly Father, having been Divinely blessed and chosen by the love and grace of God, with a heart so pure and holy, living a life so simple, humble and true.

Will this not also true among the saints and beatified people, who, by their intense love of God in Jesus, have become instruments of the power of the Holy Spirit and have become vessels of God's love in Christ, with enormous miracles granted in their powerful intercession.

Let us not be divided by our faith in Jesus because some Christians insist that Mary is not to be worshiped which is a total misconception and is misleading as it is untrue and unverified.  The Catholic Christian faith never teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mother and the saints are to be worshiped but honored.

Honoring the saints and Mama Mary should not mean we submit ourselves to the sin of idolatry, because the saints and Mama Mary are all instruments of the love of God in Jesus and they being intercessors, all point to Jesus through the Holy Spirit as the source of their power, love and blessedness.

Let us remember that Jesus does not want us divided in our faith, rather, to be ever strong, steadfast and united against all evil that continue to divide and deceive us to weaken our faith when divided, as we get confused and vulnerable through our pride and ego, through our self serving human intelligence which veers us from the truth in God's words in Jesus.

And when they are honored, it does not mean they are being worshiped through images made for them inside churches, rather, their spiritual bodies are honored and respected as in them is the true Temple of the Holy Spirit, as they remain pure and holy.

Yes, we do not have to kneel before statues and the Catholic Church also says this, but  if some Catholic faithfuls want to kneel before images of Christ, Mama Mary and the saints, it is meant to worship God and glorify God, as we all know as true Christian believers, that Christ is the only way to the Father, and together with the Holy Spirit, he and God the Father are One.

This makes images as mere reminders of our faith, just as the crucifix is, not as statues or idols being worshiped or are ever to be worshiped.

I just hope and pray that no one puts malice in this practice as showing reverence and honor to Mama Mary and the saints can be expressed as humanly as possible and Christ, having lived among men, as the "word made flesh," can very much relate to this human expression of love of God through others.

And this too has been manifest in his first miracle when he turned the jars of water into wine at the prodding of his mother, Mama Mary, who meant nothing more than to provide life, joy and happiness in a great feast of love in itself, a wedding celebration in Cana.

And through Christ Jesus, the true Messiah, as God made into Man, following him and putting our full trust in him through his words of love and in the forgiveness of sins, we may be saved.

As in 1 John 2:1-6, Saint John exhorts all men to walk with the light of Christ, “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

“We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The many who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly complete in him. This is how we know we are in him. Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.”

Many times, we too, or anyone who so believes, become faithful intercessors of Christ Jesus whenever we help pray for the needs of our brothers and sisters, and believing that Mama Mary and the saints can become more powerful intercessors for our petitions through the power of Christ and the Holy Spirit, this has further strengthened our faith in God as many of us have seen the fruits of this practice with the countless mind bungling miracles and blessings that have occured and continue to happen in this life, and many times, no ordinary human being or even the learned scholars or scientists can explain.

Will all these be welcomed with joy and happiness rather than with ridicule and speculation if it comes as a a message from God on the love of Christ Jesus especially to those who have learned to believe, that others too may see the truth in God's words?

For indeed, God moves in mysterious ways.  And in all these, God is glorified.

[Read further on this related post:  "Graven Images:  Altering the Commandments?" from CNA.com for  insights we may find helpful as we seek guidance with the truth in God's words.]

If kissing images is considered idolatrous, would kissing the picture of your mom, child, girlfriend, dad, wife, best friend or whoever you love be considered also idolatrous if God teaches us to show our love and concern for others, while keeping in mind that our love for God is never to be compromised because without Him we are nothing?

Would praying before God while in front of, or holding a picture of a love one we are praying for constitute idolatry?

Is asking for prayers through our family members and friends in our community be different from asking intercessory prayers from Mama Mary or the saints and the blessed yet holy people who are, nevertheless, deceased or departed?


Love in Christ

In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus said to the Pharisees in the presence of a crowd and his disciples on the question of what is the greatest commandment, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law of the Prophets hung on these two commandments.”   


Are not the first four commandments in the Ten Commandments referring to the love of God, while the rest, to the love of others?

And as long as we acknowledge and believe in our deep love of God and of others, more than anything else in this world, we are saved in the light of Christ.

Let us always pray that we do not fall into the trap of deceiving ourselves from the truth implied by this powerful commandment of God in Christ which is the love of God and the love of our neighbors.

Let the true meaning of the scriptures find their way into our hearts through the Holy Spirit as we reflect on the truth that God made everything out of His everlasting "love' for man.

Being able to avoid sins of lust and the lures of power and wealth make us stronger in our faith as we allow the Holy Spirit to empower us, becoming stronger in protecting ourselves from being enslaved by things material which only make us weak in body and spirit as we become wordly.

Persevering in our faith, on the other hand, makes us whole with Christ and in Christ and no one can ever break that powerful bond in us.

If our great fore parents in Adam and Eve, the first man and woman created by God fell from sin because of eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of wisdom and knowledge, the apple representing material things, let us not fall too as an easy prey to the evil one by being overcome by our pride or by vanity and be carried away by human wisdom and intelligence that keep dividing us and tend to pull us away from the truth in the love of Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.

We must fully understand why Jesus, the Son of God, suffered and died for us on the cross, precisely so with his words of truth and love, and in his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven, we too are saved from sin through the forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life for those who believe in him, have faith and follow him.

What we have lost through the sin of Adam and Eve, we have regained in Christ through the gift of life eternal.


NDE or Near Death Experiences

Moving further, during the transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-9, did not the apostles Peter, James and John see Elijah and Moses, the latter two, despite their having already departed from this world, were seen talking with Jesus?  If you believe in this, does this not reveal to us the truth in a living and conscious spirit even after our death?

It may interest you to note that in the presence of some doctors and learned experts in the medical world, after careful study and observation on some duly recorded near death experiences or NDE, they have made baffling discoveries about the consciousness of the spirit, and as an example, despite a brain dead patient - a spirit that saw his own body as he drifted away from it, went from room to room near his own room, saw and heard conversations among people in those rooms before returning back to his own body.

And when he got up vividly recounting every detail of what he saw, heard and experienced, all the doctors and medical experts were amazed yet convinced of their conclusion about the consciousness of the spirit despite a brain dead person.

With the consciousness of the spirit away from its brain dead body, does this not give essence to prayers passed on to saints for intercession, where the power of love in prayers really matter?

Those who experienced NDE have claimed to have seen their deceased relatives and the consciousness in their spirit.

Will this not give credence to Catholic Christian beliefs of praying for the dearly departed that they may enjoy eternal bliss and happiness with God in heaven, and so they too can pray for us and return the favor?

No wonder I have felt protected too, and so with my family, with my brush with death in previous car accidents, mild heart attack and mild stroke, as I continue praying for my son who passed away just two days after birth, about whom I am always proud to claim we already have an angel in heaven, for my Dad who passed away at the age of 63, and for my many friends and relatives whom I pray for that our Heavenly Father grant them eternal peace in heaven.


In Matthew 22:30, Jesus said to the Sadducces who questioned him on marriage and resurrection, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage, they will be like the angels in heaven. But about the resurrection of the dead – have you not read what God said to you? I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

And being with Christ make us ‘like angels’ when we die, and like angels, we are no longer dead but living as one with God in life eternal, forever.

In Christ, we overcome death as we overcome the wages of sin which is death.

[Read our related post on the power of prayers:  "Prayers Can Move Mountains"]

And going back to kissing pictures and holding pictures of our love ones in prayer, is this not just a show of human affection and physical attachment that we are prone to do for our love one, and not idolatry?

Do not sportsmen kiss their trophies or winners and champions in any kind of human activity of event do that too, but are they worth of our condemnation or judgement of being idolatrous?  Is this not being merely human and purely a normal human reaction as we live in the realities of this life we need to savor the fruits also of our labor or arduous training to also give meaning to and celebrate God's gift of life?

Less we become overwhelmed, perhaps, that we forget that in all these, God needs to be glorified, including everything that we are blessed with in this life.

Isn't it so that because of God and with our God given talents we excel and prevail in activities we allow ourselves to be a part of?

Aren't we allowing the evil one prey on our weakness whenever we forget to honor God as due?  Are all these including our talents not coming from God?  If so, do we not allow ourselves to become a pawn of the devil whenever material things matter more than the One who created us all, our Heavenly Father?

While we respect other religions which do not believe in the Holy Trinity - ie, the worship of Three in One God namely, the God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit - we still pray for their conversion and enlightenment through the Holy Spirit that they too may see the light in Christ.

While I may obviously be biased in my faith, is it not Christianity which promotes love and respect to life, forgiveness of sins, belief in only One True God, freedom in the practice of other religion and respect to others' faith, promotes love of God more than love of worldly and material things, belief in one True Messiah in Jesus Christ, the only Begotten Son of God, and the amazing truth in his wonderful miracles of healing, driving out demons, calming the sea, raising the dead to life, great miracles performed out of faith in Jesus and those made in his name through the Blessed Mother, the saints and the faithfuls, the power and truth in his words and teachings on top of the many miracles performed by God the Father as recorded in Holy Bible as He has prepared man for the coming of His Son in Christ, our True Redeemer and Savior.

Indeed we are blessed with the saving grace in Christ Jesus.

Reading from our link on "'Vision of Hell' as shown to Sister Faustina Kowalska or Saint Faustina, you will see how God revealed to Saint Faustina the truth about Hell while guided and protected by an angel in the presence of angry devils so "no soul may find an excuse by saying there is no Hell."


Reading through it, do you not see how and why we already see Hell around us as we live this life, that with the absence of God in our life and the absence of love and the lack of it, we are rendered weak in health, fail in our relationships, and suffer in depression, sadness, loneliness, too much anxiety and fear, with some of us ending in hospitals, rehab centers, psychology clinics, mental hospitals, jails and in other God forbidden places?


Sister Faustina also mentioned, on top of the seven kinds of tortures, about "the caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs from another," designed for particular souls depending on how they have sinned. 


Even in the earlier recorded revelation of God to Saint Catherine of Genoa, in her divinely inspired writings on   "The Treatise of Purgatory," I can see a relation of this revelation to that of Sister Faustina as they complement each other.

While Saint Catherine writes about the truth in Purgatory, Sister Faustina shares with us her vision about the tortures in Hell.

Saint Catherine tells in her biography that as early as in this life, she has learned to endure the pains of cleansing and the purification of her heart and spirit, dying to her 'self,' as she dedicated the latter part of her life in the love and service of others while caring for the sick.  And for her, living in the love of Christ was incomparable as she was blessed with great and unexplained joy and happiness.

[Refer to our post on:  "The Truth in Purgatory as Seen in the Vision of Saint Catherine of Genoa"]  

In Matthew 5:22, Jesus said, “But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool,’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”


May we learn to avoid  bigotry and hatred towards our misguided brothers, rather, peacefully guide them to Christ, less we wish to endanger ourselves into the fires of hell.


And in some NDE, there were some who mentioned of struggles or a downward pull to darkness before they saw the light, and as they prayed to God or Jesus, they were brought to the indescribable light of God and love.

Is not this a fitting revelation of how true God and Jesus is?  And with God's mercy and forgiveness, we are given the chance to renew ourselves and be a light to others.

Anyone who had this NDE experience and having seen that bright awesome light - usually attributed to the presence of the Holy Spirit as seen by Saint Paul before Jesus revealed himself to him temporarily blinded for three days before setting forth to witnessing Christ's resurrection and the truth in his words -  is considered very fortunate and blessed as one is given another chance to life and another chance for renewal and redemption.  This may become an encouragement for others as one becomes a living witness to the truth in God's words in Christ.

Alas, for the weak in faith who still remain blind and cannot see the true message and meaning of this experience comes real misery.  


But for those who have surrendered everything to God and have the Holy Spirit in them, in humility, kindness and the presence of Christ in their hearts, all these bring them true joy and happiness for they have accepted the truth in Christ and have considered this life as temporary leading to what greater glory there is into eternal life. 


This life, therefore, for those who believe, becomes no more than a stepping stone from materialism to life everlasting, from death to immortality, from darkness to light.

Praying for guidance through the Holy Spirit while onto our linked sites in this post can better prepare us to understand the essence of the NDE and on Sister Faustina in the light of the truth in the love of Jesus, and to be careful not to be deceived by some elements in NDE claims as some may be fraudulent with the absence of filtering mechanisms on the site.  We pray, nevertheless, that the Holy Spirit will enlighten us for those which veer us away from Jesus and his words.

Truly, God moves in mysterious ways. I can see how many people in NDE have been made instruments to make us realize the truth in the afterlife and the truth about the living light that engulfs one with the enormous love of God, some of them seeing or hearing and feeling Jesus, the Son of God.

We Christians are indeed fortunate to have Christ reveal the truth in his words, and it is up to us to live them and to share them with others that they too may be saved.

In Philippians 1:21, Saint Paul writes as he rejoices in God’s words and in his overwhelming faith and love in Jesus, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

Let us be enlightened, my dear brother, that Jesus is the Son of God, made human by God precisely so we can better relate to God through him.

We both know that Jesus suffered enough, my brother, more than enough, to save us from sin, and from all sins that man can think of including sins of pride, arrogance, anger, hatred, slander and murder, lust, greed, sins of omission, of non forgiveness, of retaliation and vengeance, gossips, malicious thoughts and intent over others and all other sins of the flesh or of material things that no one can ever take with him when he dies.

And so long as you put your heart and soul for him and to live your life in him and with him, then you are saved, yes, we are all saved in Christ Jesus, by the grace of God in faith, doing good deeds and become a shining witness of the truth in God's words.

In James 2:26, Saint James said, “As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

And in Romans 8:36-39, Saint Paul makes it clear how we, as believers, become more than conquerors:  " As it is written:


        “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”


        “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, no any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Further in Colossians 3:5-14, Saint Paul states his message on idolatry and the need for unity among all Christian believers, “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.  You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.


“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”


And in 1 Corinthians 3:16-23, Saint Paul makes it clear to all followers of Christ, and to even those who are learning to know Christ, to respect and love one another as not to boast against each other as he tells them, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are the temple.

"Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of age, he should become a “Fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” So then, no more boasting about men! All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future – all are yours, and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.”

Let us, therefore be one, my dear brothers, in worshiping God as due, through the light of Christ and spreading his love and the truth in him here and around the 'wide wide world' through his words, and put a stop to our unnecessary debates of judging each other.

Otherwise, do we not become unwilling and weak instruments of the evil one as we are dividing ourselves from the love of God which only benefits evil because that is the only way that the devil can further his claim to his own truth?

In Ephesians 4:29-32, Saint Paul writes to the Ephesians about being careful with what comes out of our mouths, out of which should come love and compassion instead of evil and malice, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

If we believe that all material things are foolish things in this world, as written in the scriptures, should we worry about idolatry which refer to things that are also material, and is not dwelling on this issue, therefore, foolish and divisive as this cannot save our soul more than the love that we show for each other can?

And is it fair to talk against the Mother of Jesus,  when she has shown many times her love and concern for us through her recorded Marian Apparitions in different parts of the world which includes Medjugorje 1981, Lourdes 1858, ,Ponmain 1871,  Pellevoisin 1876, Gietrzlwald 1837,  Knock 1879, Fatima 1917, Guadalupe in Mexico 1831, Banneux 1933, Beauraing 1932, La Salette in 1846, Rome in 1842, Paris in 1830 and Syracuse 1953.

Have you ever experienced the love of a mother?  If you did, you may understand me when I say, "there is nothing that can compare with the kind of love a mother filled with grace can ever give and offer to all her children."

No wonder for some smart kids, they find it wiser to ask what they need from their dad through their mom, huh, lol.

But on a more serious and truthful note, the more love we project through our prayers, that love multiplies through all intercessors to Christ Jesus.

And for Mama Mary, we are all her children and as such, her love for us abounds with care, compassion, protection, understanding and forgiveness.

And in praying the Holy Rosary, made from within our hearts, Catholic faithfuls ask the Blessed Virgin Mother, and the saints as they may be included in the litany, to intercede for us as our vessels to Christ and the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sins, for love and unity in the family and the community and for all other petitions it may be personally designed to address.

However we may design our prayers, for so long as they are said from within our hearts and express our love of God through our love for our fellowmen, the more God listens to us.

Whether you support this or not is not for me to demand, but to learn to love our Blessed Mother as we love our own mother, ever thankful of the sacrifices they went through while showing the kind of love only a mother can give, and the saints as well, as they have become true witnesses of God's goodness through Christ, the way we are taught by Jesus to love our neighbors and one another, is my humble prayer.

And for my hope, that for unity in our purpose.

For is not love that which conquers all a higher and deeper goal than what our intelligence dictates?

Is not love higher that anything else, and yes, higher than the law of the universe, because God is love?

In Romans 13:10, Saint Paul, after exhorting the Romans to 'love others as yourself,' and states further, “Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”

With our divisiveness  are we professing our love for others because we base our judgment on what we know and what we believe as human intelligence?  Is not human intelligence limited to what we read, hear and see and is not of the Holy Spirit?

May 'love' in God's words fill our hearts and soul as we seek the truth in the Holy Spirit.

And in 1 Corinthians 13:8, Saint Paul in the love of Christ stated, "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."

We may not realize it, but the evil one siphons to his side those who are lost in this world and make them his, namely, all those who are weak in their faith and are prone to take their life because of the lack of it, and those who do not know and believe in Christ, or the anti-Christ as Jesus would call anybody who denies and refuse to believe in him.

And with the truth in the love, mercy and forgiveness in Christ, may all be enlightened to draw ourselves, and the unbelievers to open their eyes and spirit that they too may learn to know him, be nearer to him and learn to thank God in Jesus and glorify him in all good things and in all circumstances, for it is from God, that all good things come, and it is in Christ that we abide by God's will in us.

[Read and get further inspiration from our post:  "'Love' by Saint Paul, Love of God and Self-Pity"]

Let us, therefore, challenge ourselves and pray for unity of purpose and believe, as we are one body in Christ Jesus, and pray for those who have not accepted Christ yet in their life.

And together, we can be stronger as we spread the love and the truth in Christ around us, that we all can be saved.

And as Saint Paul wrote in Romans 8:31, "If God is with us, who can be against us."
