JANUARY 12th, 2012

 

 

FALL IN LOVE WITH LIFE

 

 

I am going to

Fall in love with life

There is nothing else

Left to do

 

Life I’m going to love you

In whatever form

Life I’m going to love you

However it comes

 

My life

May not be the norm

So I’m going

To love life

No matter how it comes

In whatever form

 

This life I have

Is all that I got

I can’t change it

Rearrange it

This life I have

For me

Is the norm

 

So life

I am going to love you

No matter what you do

No matter how you come

In whatever form

 

So life

I say

 

I am going to love you

No matter what you do

My life-you’re all that I got

I am going to love you

 

Life-I am going to love you

AN EYEWITNESS=TO GOD'S LOVE=Saint John and us

 

 

 

 

 

 

AN EYEWITNESS=OF GOD’S LOVE

(Saint John=and US TOO)

 

Today=We HONOR=One of the ONLY WITNESSES of love=who

Was there=THROUGH Jesus’ life and death=Saint John=an

EYEWITNESS OF LOVE=we may NOT be eyewitnesses=but we

Are CALLED=to BE WITNESSES TOO=Modern day WITNESSES=of

Christ’s LOVE=and the Holy Father God’s LOVE=in today’s world

“……..What we HAVE SEEN=and heard=we PROCLAIM now to you……..”   1 John 1:3

 

John’s GOSPEL tells us=He was AN EYEWITNESS=to THE LOVE

Of Christ=and was there=AT THE COSS=we MAY NOT=have been

There=but we CAN=still be there=EMOTIONALLY and spiritually=and

WITNESS to Jesus’ love=IN this world+=John was an EYEWITNESS=for

Us all=but we are MODERN DAY WITNESSES TOO=to the LOVE OF

Christ and=the HOLY FATHER GOD

 

“ONE WITNESS=is not enough=to convict=Anyone accused of any crime=

Or offense=they have committed=A matter must be established=by the

Testimony of=two or three WITNESSES”                                                                             Deuteronomy 19:15

 

“But you will receive power=When the Holy Spirit comes to you=and

YOU will be MY WITNESSES=in Jerusalem=and in all Judea and Sanaria=

And to the ends=of the earth”                                                                                               Acts 1:8

 

“He himself(John the Baptist)=was not the light=He came=Only

AS A WITNESS=to the light”                                                                                                         John 1:8

 

That is right=MY DEAR FRIENDS=John the Baptist=was NOT the light=

JOHN THE APOSTLE=whom Jesus loved=was NOT the light=and NEITHER

Are we=WE are all to be WITNESSES=to the ONE TRUE LIGHT=Jesus

Christ=and the HOLY FATHER GOD=Saint John=was an EYEWITNESS=and

We are to BE WITNESSES too=and to TESTIFY

 

John the APOSTLE=was a LIVING WITNESS=for three years=to the

MIRACLES=Healings=Blessings=and parables=That Jesus made and did=and

He was with him=AT THE CROSS-In addition=to his GOSPEL=he wrote 3

Epistles=and the book of Revelation=He was an EYEWITNESS=to the cross=

TO JESUS’ PASSION and death=He testified to all of this=and we as

MODERN DAY APOSTLES=are to testify to it too!

 

“You study the Scriptures=Diligently because you think=that in them=you

Have ETERNAL LIFE=Theses are the very Scriptures=That TESTIFY about me=

Yet you refuse to come=to me to have life”                                                                                      John 5:39-40

 

“You know the commandments=’You shall not commit adultery=You

Shall not murder=You shall not steal=You shall not give FALSE TESTIMONY=

Honor your father and mother”                                                                                                           Luke 18:20

 

And John the APOSTLE=NEVER did lie=He told the TRUTH about Jesus-and

THE FATHER GOD=and love=IN ALL of the Sacred Scriptures=he wrote

Thousands of years ago

 

Yes YES=John was AN EYEWITNESS=to Jesus’ life=his passionate death=and

To THE Resurrection=and He took CARE of Mary=Jesus’ mother=the MOTHER

Of God=for the REST of her life=Until the Assumption

 

Yes=Saint John=was an eyewitness to LOVE=but we are too=and we are to BE

THE WITNESSES for Jesus Love=Because we have all the LIVING HOPE

That we need

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the NAME of our FOREVER LOVING and living Holy

Father God

GOD'S GREATEST GIFT=TURNING 70 ON SUNDAY!

 

 

 

 

 

TURNING 70 years young=ON JANUARY 19th-2025

 

 

JANUARY 20th, 2012

 

 

GOD’S GREATEST GIFT

 

 

The greatest gift that I ever received was the gift of life.  I don’t think that I began

To be conscious of that fact until I walked away from my first hospitalization, which

Began on my 22nd birthday.

 

During the hospitalization, I was given 0 percent chance to survive.  Additionally,

Three of the next five years, I was in the hospital, in critical shape, in hospitalizations

That overlapped my birthday.  Add to that a lifetime of chronic illness and pain, and I

Began to see how precious that life was, and what a gift that it is.  And that it is not to

Be taken for granted.

 

I began a search for God, a search for God’s love, and a search to find God’s love in

All others.  Some of the things that I learned are; that the small things that happen in life

Are every bit as important as the big things.

 

The sending of a birthday card.  The receiving of a birthday card.  The phone call from

A friend to see how you are.  The phone call to a friend to see if there is anything that

You can do when they are facing tough times.  Holding a door for a stranger, giving up

your seat for someone on the bus.  These little ordinary things are just as important as the

big things.

 

I learned that little acts of kindness in life, both given and received, are very important.

I learned to see God in them.

 

And most of all, I learned that life, in whatever form, is God’s greatest gift.

YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

 

 

 

 

JANUARY 15th---2012

 

 

YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

 

 

What is

Your philosophy of life

You say

You don’t have one

But you do

I do

We all do---consciously or unconsciously

 

In the Xth chapter of Saint Luke’ s Gospel

An expert asks Jesus he question:

“Who is my neighbor?”

Jesus responds

With the parable

Of the “Good” Samaritan

 

A bunch of robbers

Beat up a man

And leave him

By the side of the road

 

The robbers philosophy

Is much like

The criminals in our world today

 

“What is yours is mine

And I shall take it”

 

A priest and Levite

Pass by

And keep on going

Their philosophy is much like

Most employers and employees

In today’s world

 

“What is mine is mine

And I shall keep it”

 

Then the Samaritan comes by

And stops and helps the poor man

His philosophy is

 

“What is mine is yours

And I shall share it”

 

So I ask myself

I ask you

Who is your neighbor

What is your philosophy

Towards them

 

Who can we

Give a smile to

Who can we give

A listening ear to

Who can we say

A kind word about

 

A song is not a song

Until it is sung

 

A bell is not a bell

Until it is rung

 

And love is not love

Until

 

IT ISGIVEN AWAY

ps               .   *       Inspired by the teaching of Father Leo Clifford

 

 

                               What is interesting in the parable---is that nowhere in the parable

                               Does it call the Samaritan good---and the reason is---IT DOES NOT

                               MATTER---we are to HELP whoever and whenever we can

 

                               “GOOD” is the name given to the Samaritan by the world

 

ONLY ONE WAY=OVER EVIL=AND IT IS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ONLY ONE WAY=OVER EVIL

(AND IT IS WITH=THE LOVE OF OUR GOD)

 

There is=SO MUCH EVIL=in this world=We see it=ALL

THE TIME=In today’s world=and ONE such evil=is MOB

VIOLENCE=The EVIL=of a whole group=STANDING TOGETER

IN HATRED=”But they CRIED OUT=in a loud voice=covered

Their ears=and rushed upon him……..”                                                                                Acts 7:57

 

THE ABOVE biblical Scripture=Refers to the STONING of Stephen=

A Christian Saint=and THE FIRST CHRISTIAN MARTYR=who patterned

His life=After that of HIS HERO=Jesus Christ=You see=Stephen KNEW

From Jesus=That there is=ONLY ONE WAY=to TRIUMPH over evil=and

It was=it is=AND FOREVER WILL BE=THE LOVE OF=the Holy Father God=

You CAN=ONLY TRIUMPH=over evil=in this way!=THROUGH
GOD’S LOVE=JUSTICE=and forgiveness

 

“Your gates=will always stand open=-they will never be shut=day or night=

So that people may bring you=the wealth of the nations--------their

Kings led in TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION”                                                                                        Isaiah 60:11

 

“But thanks be to God=Who always leads us as captives=IN

CHRIST’S TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION=and uses us=to spread the aroma=

Of the knowledge of him everywhere”                                                                                   2 Corinthians 2:14

 

“And having disarmed the powers=and authorities=He made a public

Spectacle=of them=TRIMPHING over them by the cross”                                                Colossians 2:15

 

REMEMBER=the mob violence=of those after Jesus=the Mob cried

Out=”CRUCIFY HIM”=and our Saint Stephen today=Knew this too=He

Knew that=THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY=OVER EVIL=and that it was through

OUR GOD the Father’s PERFECT LOVE=Triumphing over evil=He knew it too

From Jesus Christ’s love

 

That is WHO=Saint Stephen was to be=He was to STAND TALL=In God’s

LOVE=justice and forgiveness=As he was being stoned=HE knew=LOVE
ALWAYS WINS=”But Stephen=full of the HOLY SPIRIT=Looked up to heaven=

And saw the glory of God=and Jesus=standing at the right hand of God”                             Acts 7:55

 

You see=Stephen KNEW=Through the LIFE of Christ=that LOVE TRIUMPHS=

OVER EVIL=There is ONLY ONE WAY=OVER EVIL=and it is THROUGH THE LOVE=

Of the Holy Father God=and his SON Jesus Christ=”Forgetting what is behind=and

Straining toward what is ahead=I press on=toward the goal==TO WIN THE PRIZE=

For which God=Has called me heavenward=In Christ Jesus”                                           Philippians 3:13-14

 

“……..So that your daily life=MAY WIN=the respect of outsiders=and so

That you will not=Be dependent on anybody”                                                                      1 Thessalonians 4:12

 

CHRIST’S LOVE=WINS over evil=in his LIFE=and again in THE LIFE of=

Our Dear Saint Stephen=LIFE AND LOVE=over darkness and evil=that is

GOD’S WAY=My dear brothers and sisters=when CONFRONTING EVIL=there

Is=ONLY ONE WAY to win=and it is IN GOD’S LOVE=Mercy=and forgiveness

 

In the Names of Jesus=and in the EVERLASTING LIFE=of our Holy Father God=

Who is FOREVER LIVING=LOVING and victorious
