Ps        A ROOT is the part of the plant that anchors it and absorbs

            Nutrients and moisture; a plant CANNOT exist without its

            Root;  WE CANNOT EXIST fruitfully without God

 

“For the love of money is a ROOT of all kinds of evil

Some people-eager for money-have wandered from the faith

And pierced themselves with many griefs”                                        1 Timothy 6:10

      

 

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR LIVES=and REMAINING TUE to God!

 

 

 

 

 

 

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR LIVES=

As WE=Remain TRUE TO GOD!

 

The old Testament Prophet Ezekiel=tells us=That the SINS of one generation=Does

NOT FALL to the next=For we are NOT RESPONSIBLE for our parents=NOR are they responsible=

For our SINS=ESPECIALLY in this day and AGE=THE TRUTH IS=we are Responsible=

For ourselves!=”Hear you Israelites’=’Is my way UNJUST?=Is it not YOUR WAYS=

That are unjust?’”=                                                                                                                                   Ezekiel18:25

BEING RESPONSIBLE=For our own sins=As we REMAIN=TRUE TO GOD!

 

Ezekiel tells us=WE CAN CHANGE=If we sin=We can reform and REPENT!=And if we=are

GOOD=we can still TURN to evil=Be Responsible=REMAIN TRUE to God and Jesus!

“But the servant replied’=’Look in this town=There is a man OF GOD=He is HIGHLY RESPECTED=

And everything=He says comes TRUE’”                                                                                    1 Samuel 9:6

“All your words=are TRUE=All your righteous laws are eternal”                                             Psalm 119:160

“Now this is eternal life=To all those you have given him=That they know you=The only TRUE GOD=

And Jesus Christ=Whom you have sent”                                                                                     John 17:3

TAKING RESPONSILITY=FOR OUR LIVES!=and REMAINING TRUE=To the Father=and to Jesus=

And the FAITH!

 

We NEVER ARRIVE in this world=and NONE of us are so good=That we cannot do an evil act=Or

So bad that we cannot TURN TO GOOD=THE LORD’S MERCY=is available to=ALL OF US=IF we

RETURN to the Holy Father God and HIS SON!=But we MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for

Our lives=”Remember Lord=Your GREAT MERCY and love=For they are from

Of old”                                                                                                                                                                Psalm 25:6

“In his LOVE and MERCY=He redeemed them=He lifted them up=and carried them=ALL

The days of old”                                                                                                                                                        Isaiah 63:9

“He has shown you=O mortal=What is good=And what does the Lord=REQUIRE  of you?=

To act justly=and to LOVE MERCY=and to walk humbly=With Your GOD”                                    Micah 6:8

EACH of us=Need to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY=For our own lives=Each of us=Need to REMAIN=

TRUE=to the Holy Father God and His SON!

 

My friends=My dear Sisters and Brothers=We MUST not succumb to the evil ways=Of the world=

We must REMAIN TRUE=to the LOVE of God=and take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for our Lives=and in THE LORD’S MERCY!

“Because of HIS great love for us=God=who is RICH IN MERCY=Made us ALIVE with Christ=

Even when we were dead=In our transgressions--------It is BY GRACE=You have

BEEN Saved”                                                                                                                                                      Ephesians 2:4

“……..Because Judgment WITHOUT MERCY=Will be shown to anyone=Who has NOT been

MERCIFIL=MERCY triumph over judgment”                                                                                           James 2:13

“In his GREAT MERCY=He has given us new birth=Into a LIVING HOPE=Through the Resurrection=

Of Jesus Christ=From the dead=and into an INHERITANCE=That can

NEVER PERISH=Spoil or fade”                                                                                                                    1  Peter 1:3

 

DEAR LORD=God of Heaven Above=THE TRUE GOD=Of Life and Love=we pray and say Thank You=

For this GRACE=you have given to us=as we REMAIN TRUE=To The Holy Father God and THE SON!

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=Of the FOREVER LIVING=LOVING and ONE TRUE=

Holy Father God!

A CHARITABLE HEART=THE STORY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

A CHARITABLE HEART---THE STORY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

 

 

 

 

 

I am sure

You have heard the saying:

“Charity begins at home”

 

I am here to tell you

That that is NOT true

 

It is not true today

Was not true yesterday

And will never ever be true

 

Saint Vincent DePaul

Was born in to a peasant family

Was educated by the Franciscans

And became a priest

At the age of 19

 

His following

Consisted of people

Who were rich and fashionable

Yet Vincent himself

Was utterly devoted to the poor and oppressed

 

A heart of compassion

A heart of charity

A heart of love

 

He founded

A congregation of priests

Who would live from a community fund

Renounce all church support

And work to help reestablish faith

In the smaller towns and villages

 

In that same year---1625

He established the Sisters of Charity

The first congregation of “unenclosed” women

Totally devoted to the poor and the sick

 

He was a LEGEND

Even in his own lifetime

 

He touched all people

Clergy and lay people alike

Rich and poor

Outcasts and convicts

 

A CHARITABLE HEART to be sure

 

Legend has it

That EVEN NOW---almost 600 years later---after his death

That his physical heart has NOT decayed---is still incorrupt

 

So we need no further testimony

Than God himself

About the charity---about the heart

Of a man named Vincent DePaul

 

Like the saying goes,

“It is what is inside that counts”

 

Dear Lord---we pray

That we may have ALL have

The HEART OF
The love of

The compassion of ---and

 

                  THE CHARITY OF SAINT VINCENT DePAUL

TEARS AND SADNESS=TURNED TO JOY AND GALNESS

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEPTEMBER 27th, 2012

 

 

TEARS AND SADNESS

TURNED TO JOY AND GLADNESS

 

 

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

 

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining patient in God

All through the storm

 

Nothing changed on

The outside of me

But something changed within

My tears and sadness

Have been turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

 

How did it happen

By faith

By faith in God

By remaining in God

All through the storm

 

Tears and sadness

Turned to

Tears of joy and gladness

 

Changed by God

Changed by faith

Changed forever more

Ps        “For as I have often told you before

             And now say again even with TEARS

             Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ”                   Philippians 3:18

 

            “Those who sow in TEARS

              Will reap with songs of joy”                                         Psalm 126:5

              From their eyes”                                                            Revelations 7:17

 

REMIANING IN=GOD and Jesus' LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

REMAINING IN=GOD’S AND JESUS’ LOVE

 

Today=Jesus tells us

That he has LOVED ALL of us=

Just the SAME WAY=The Father

HIS very own Father=has loved him

 

And he tells us=TO REMAIN

In that love=

BY LOVING ONE ANOTHER

REMAINING IN=

GOD’S AND JESUS’ LOVE

 

“IF you keep my commandments=

You will=REMAIN IN MY LOVE…….”                                                                                 John 15:10

 

We all KNOW THEM=

From Matthew=what

The TWO GREATEST commandments are

 

LOVE GOD=above all else

And LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR=as ourself

UNFORTUNATELY=many of us

Seem to NOT know them=much less

DO THEM

 

We live in a

ME-FIRST=selfish world=

We have to get back=to

LIVING that love=to PRACTICING HUMILITY

By putting God and others

ABOVE=our very own selfish interests

 

REMAINING IN=GOD’S AND JESUS’ LOVE

Practicing humility=by

Putting others first

 

“HE GUIDES THE HUMBLE=

In what is right=and

Teaches them his way”                                                                                                         Psalm 25:9

 

“These are the ones

I look on=with favor

 

THOSE WHO ARE HUMBLE=

And contrite in spirit=and who tremble

At my word”                                                                                                                            Isaiah 66:2

 

Jesus is CLEAR=

In letting us KNOW=

HOW we are to=LOVE ONE ANOTHER

 

It is=by

Laying our lives down

For OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

We can do that

By DYING for someone else=LIKE JESUS DID

 

Or we CAN do that

BY LIVING our lives=THROUGH

The GIVING of our lives

 

Like the SAINTS do=Like missionaries

Priests=nuns=ministers=and like medical people

Police men and women=and service people

 

PRACTICE HUMILITY=REMAIN IN

GOD’S AND JESUS’ LOVE=live for others

 

“If you=REMAIN IN ME

And my words=REMAIN in you

Ask whatever you wish=and it

Will be done for you”                                                                                                          John 15:7

 

“Let no debt=REMAIN OUTSTANDING

Except the continuing debt=

To love one another=for

Whoever loves others=has fulfilled the law”                                                                    Romans 13:8

 

Jesus’ love=in our world

IS ALIVE=every time

WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER=every time

We put=GOD’S LOVE for another

Above our own interests

 

We love God=we HONOR God

And we=REMAIN IN GOD’S LOVE

By loving one another

ABOVE all else

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LIVING=forever loving=and REMAINING

Holy Father God!

SAINT COSMAS AND DAMIAN

The Patron Saints of Doctors

 

 

Do you have healthcare

Can you afford it

 

Do you sometimes think

That the healthcare industry

Or maybe

Even some of the Doctors

Are more concerned with

How much money they are making

Than your personal health

 

If your answers

To any of these question are yes

LISTEN UP

To the story

Of two of our early physicians

 

Legend says

That they were twin brothers

And doctors

 

Who practiced their art

Without asking for fees

 

Can you imagine

Someone doing that today

In any profession

 

Reportedly

Numerous cures of healing

Were claimed by their intercession

 

They are

The patron saints of doctors

And their acts

Recount their skill

In both the healing

Of both men and animals

 

Their most famous medical achievement

Was their grafting of a new white leg

To the live body

Of a cancerous negro 

 

They reportedly

Had a reputation

For disinterestedness about financial gain

 

Their feast day

Is September 28th

 

Dear Lord

We pray

For many more people

As well as physicians

Like Cosmas and Damian

WHO HAVE COMPASSION FOR ALL

LIVING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

 

 

I am

Living from the inside out

I am

Letting God’s love

Turn me all around

I am

Letting God’s love

Turn me every which way

But down

 

I am

Living on God’s love

I am

Living inside out

 

Inside out

Is the way

I want to live

Inside out

Is the way

I want to give

Inside out

I want to give

All that’s in me

 

Inside out

I just

Want to live

Inside out

I just

Want to give you

The love that God gave to me

 

I just want to live

Inside out

              Like the clay

               Can the pot say of the potter

                From the error of his way
