I AM THE WAY=THE TRUTH =AND THE LIFE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I AM THE WAY-THE TRUTH-AND THE LIFE”

 

I know this scripture

Inside and out

It LIVES

In my heart

And I do my best

To try and live it

 

I memorize

VERY little scripture

But one line

I have memorized is:

 

“I am the way

and the truth

And the life

 

No one comes

To the Father

Except through me

 

If you really know me

You would know

My Father as well

 

From now on

You do know him

And have SEEN HIM”                                                      John 14:6

 

THERE IT IS

PLAIN as the day

 

Jesus and the Father are one

IF you are one with Jesus

You are ONE with the FATHER

 

And exactly

WHAT IS the way

TO GOD the Father

And his Son

 

“IF you are

PLEASED with me

 

TEACH me your ways

So that

I may know you

 

And continue

To find favor

With you”                                                                     Exodus 33:13

 

“In ALL your ways

ACKNOWLEDGE HIM

And he will make

Your paths straight”                                                       Proverbs 3:6

 

GOD'S WAYS

are love

God's ways

Are kindness

God's way

Is to TURN the other cheek

 

“He who speaks

On his own

Does so

To gain honor

For himself

 

But HE who works

For the HONOR

Of the one who sent him

 

Is a man

Of truth

 

There is nothing

False about him”                                                               John 7:18

 

GOD=PERFECT TRUTH

GOD=PERFECT HONESTY

 

Jesus= the PERFECT EXAMPLE

            of TRUTH on the law

 

But of course

NONE of us

Will be perfect

 

But that does not mean

We shouldn't try

 

That we shouldn't be

AS CLOSE to God

As we are capable of being

 

And Jesus was

LIFE CONCEIVED

By the spirit

 

GOD'S OWN SON

And the SPIRIT of God

WALKING upon this earth

 

And leaving GOD'S OWN SPIRIT

HIS OWN SPRIT

Behind with us

On earth

 

“I have come

That they may have LIFE

And have it

TO THE FULL”                                                         John 10:10

 

SINCE I have committed John 14:6

To MEMORY

(“I AM THE WAY-THE TRUTHAND THE LIFE-

No one comes to the Father except through me”)

 

EVERY time I look at the clock

And it reads 46 minutes after the hour

I think of this

 

And it makes me FEEL

Like Saint Paul

 

“I have been

CRUCIFIED with Christ

 

And I no longer live

But Christ LIVES in me”                                             Galatians 2:20

 

May you FIND

The PEACE of God

 

And the LOVE of our Lord

EVERY DAY of your life

REBUILDING YOUR LIFE

 

REBUILDING YOUR LIFE

Today we read

In HAGGAI=about the Israelite people

And their RETURN from exile

“Go up into the hill country

Bring timber

And build the house”                                                                                                 Haggai 1:8

The people were in

BAD SHAPE=they were lethargic-

Demoralized-and exhausted

Yet they WORKED in the homes

Of the wealthy men=

INSTEAD of working on the TEMPLE=

The HOUSE OF GOD

But God THROUGH

The prophet Haggai

ENCOURAGES them to work

On the Temple=and they do it

God tells the Israelite people

“I am with you”

So they begin working

On REBUILDING the Temple

So how about you?

Have you ever felt

Lethargic-demoralized-and EXHAUSTED?

And you know

You have to REBUILD YOUR LIFE

I have=and it takes

HARD WORK

You have to decide what

You are GOING to PUT IN it

Things like love=honesty=

And SINCERITY

Are GOOD THINGS to

Start with

“For the Lord

Will REBUILD Zion

And appear in his glory”                                                                                            Psalm 102:16

“After this I will return

And REBUILD

David's fallen tent

Its ruins

I will REBUILD 

And I will restore it”                                                                                                       Acts 15:16

“Therefore this is

What the Lord says=

'I will return

To Jerusalem

With mercy

And my house

Will be REBUILT'”                                                                                                     Zechariah 1:16

REBUILDING is an often difficult

Time consuming effort

If it is your life-and

You have been BROKEN=

It can take

The REST of your life

Let us HOPE AND PRAY

When we are OVERWHELMED

By work

That we hear God saying

“I am with you”

To us

Let us ask ourselves=IF we

Need to

REBUILD OUR LIFE

Let us START by trying

To live our lives

In the

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

“But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

Is love-joy-peace-

Forbearance-gentleness

And self-control”                                                                                                         Galatians 5:22

Let us ask ourselves

WHAT DO WE NEED to do

Rebuild in our lives

And what SMALL STEP can

I take

To begin?

Dear Lord=we PRAY to you

For strength and encouragement

In REBUILDING our lives

And that we hear

“I AM WITH YOU”

In Jesus' name

LOST AND FOUND---The Story of Saint Anthony

 

 

“Whoever finds his life

Will lose it

And whoever loses his life

For my sake

Will find it”                                               Matthew 10:39

 

Saint Anthony

Was a great great Saint

He lived in the early 1200’s

 

He should be

The Patron Saint

Of those losing their life for God

And finding oneself

 

He joined the Augustinian order

At about 15

The bodies of some Franciscan martyrs

Passed though the city

Where he was stationed

 

He decided

He wanted to die for Christ too

And switched to the Franciscan order

But an illness

Prevented him from reaching his goal

 

So he spent his time

At a small hermitage

Praying, reading scriptures, and doing menial tasks

 

He was brilliant

Yet no one knew

One day when no one was prepared

To speak

Anthony stepped forward

 

His speech was so astounding

That he was promoted

To teach theology

To the other friars

 

Legend has it

That Jesus appeared to Anthony

As the baby Jesus

In the confines of his own room

 

Legend also has it

That one day

When Anthony could find no one

To preach to

He went down to the river

And the fish

All poked their head out of the water and listened

 

So remember

The next time that you are frustrated

In your life or on your job

And things aren’t happening fast enough for you

The story of Saint Anthony

 

A young man

Who gave up a life

Of wealth and power

To be a servant of God

 

Saint Anthony

The Saint of miracles

Saint Anthony

The man who walked away from life

Only to find his life in God

 

Saint Anthony

The Saint of lost lives

The Saint of Restoration

The Saint of

Reclaiming our life through God

 

“For this son of mine was dead

And is alive again

He was lost and now is found”                                             Luke 15:24

 

BY FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN

SAINT ANTHONY FOUND HIS LIFE
AND BECAME AN EXAMPLE FOR US ALL

Ps              Other than Saint Francis himself---Saint Anthony is probably the most

                  Well known of ALL the Franciscans---His feast day is June the13th

 

                   For what it is worth---the chronic nature of my illness began on

                   June 13th, 1977

 

                  

                   Giving thanks to God and Saint Anthony for helping me to find myself

                    In this crazy mixed-up world that we live in

THE STILL SMALL VOICES OF A CHILD

 

 

God gave us five senses

One is to hear

The word of God

 

We hear the whistle of the train

We hear the vroom the vroom

Of the carpet cleaner

 

Are we hearing

The still small voices of a child

 

We hear the squeak squeaking

Of the porch swing

We hear the chirp chirp chirping

As the birds go flying by

 

Are we hearing

The still small voices of a child

 

Are we hearing God’s word

Are we hearing

The still small choices of a child

 

ARE WE HEARING

The still small voices of a child

Ps        “Today, if you hear his VOICE

              Harden NOT your hearts”                                   Psalm 95:7

 

            “Sons are a heritage from the Lord

             Children a REWARD from him”                             Psalm 127:3

 

             “The watchman opens the gate for him

               And his sheep HEAR HIS VOICE

               He calls his own sheep by name

               And leads them out”                                                  John 10:3

 

 

HEALING IS A JOURNEY=TRUST THE LORD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

HEALING IS A JOURNEY!=

(Trust the LORD)!

 

It SEEMS Like many of us=Are carrying HEAVY CROSSES=Right now=Some

Of us=More than others=But we ALL=Carry something=I am carrying an INTESTINAL

Disease=That just about=TOOK MY LIFE=and has Left me=With severe debilitating

PAIN=I have NEEDED another surgery since 1995=But  it is=TOO DANGEROUS to  do=

Without the RISK=of losing my LIFE=But I travel on=IN FAITH=as MANY of you do

Too!=HEALING IS A JOURNEY!=with Jesus=Trust the Lord!=and even IF=we do NOT=

Get that physical HEALING-The Holy Father God=and his Son Jesus=Give us the FAITH=

We need to continue=HEALING is a JOURNEY!=Sometimes a very LONG journey

 

“IF I=But touch his clothes=I shall be CURED” =                                                                              Mark  5:28

Today we READ about two MIRACLES=In the gospel of Mark=Jairus  is a synagogue leader=

Who has a LITTLE GIRL=Who is dying=and he says to Jesus’=”’Please come and put =Your

Hands on her=So that=She  will be HEALED and live’”                                                                 Mark 5:23

And at the same TIME=some people=From the House of Jairus=Came and said’=”Your

Daughter is DEAD==Why bother the Teacher anymore?’”                                                       Mark 5:35

But Jesus OVERHEARD and=Said to Jairus’=”’Don’t be afraid=JUST BELIEVE’”              Mark 5:36

Later on=We FIND out=Jesus goes to her and says’=”’Little girl= I say to you GET UP!’”   Mark 5:41

And she does

 

What a SIGHT=That must have been=A ONE=Who has Lived the MIRACLE of LIFE=since I  am 22=

I know=That all MIRACLES=are a matter of FAITH=and all miracles=all HEALINGS=are a

JOURNEY=and if=WE don’t receive the Physical Healing=We RECEIVE=the gift of FAITH=That

ALLOWS US to go on=SO BELIEVE=and TRUST THE LORD!=Faith in and of itself=Is

A MIRACLE=a HEALING from our God=and HIS SON!

 

“But he was pierces=For our transgressions=He was crushed for our iniquities=The punishment

That brought us peace=Was on him=and by his wounds=WE ARE HEALED”                         Isaiah 53:5

“It is by=the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth=Whom you crucified=But whom God raised=

From the dead=That this man=Stands before you HEALED”                                                     Acts 4:10

“Therefore confess your sins=To each other=and pray for each other=So that you MAY

BE HEALED”                                                                                                                                                  James 5:16

 

Then there is=THE SECOND miracle =IN today’s reading=A woman has been BLEEDING

For 12 years=She suffered a GREAT DEAL under Doctors=and spent all she had=But she

STILL GREW WORSE=But she  SEES Jesus and thinks to herself=”If I can just=TOUCH his clothes=

I will be HEALED’”                                                                                                                                     Mark 5:29

And immediately=She was=and her suffering stopped=and Jesus said to her’=’Daughter

Your Faith has HEALED you=Go in peace=and be freed=from your suffering’”               Mark 5:34

 

And so my SISTERS AND BROTHERS=There are 2 or 3 things=that I KNOW about

HEALINGS=about miracles=First of all=ALL MIRACLES=Come from God=and all MIRACLES

And HEALINGS are a JOURNEY =But mostly what I know  is=HEALING is a GIFT OF FAITH

From God!

 

“NOW FAITH is confidence=In what we hope for=and ASSURANCE about=what we do

NOT SEE”                                                                                                                                                    Hebrews 11:1

So MY BROTHERS and sisters=KEEP putting ONE foot=In front of the other=for

HEALING IS A JOURNEY!=That asks us=TO TRUST=In the Lord=It is something BEYOND ourselves=

So keep REACHING OUT=Keep CALLING for God and his Son=and LIVE Your Life

IN FAITH=and love and compassion=for others!

 

In Jesus’ name=and IN the name=of our forever loving=forever LIVING=Forever MIRACLE

Making Holy Father God!
