REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD

 

 

 

 

 

I am a representative

Of God in this world

And you might not know it

But you are too

 

I represent God

I represent life

I represent kindness

All the things

This world

Tells us are meaningless

 

I represent love

I represent forgiveness

I represent the small things

Of this world

All the values

This world

Tells us are meaningless

 

We represent God

We represent one another

We shouldn’t let one person sink

After all

They are our brother

 

We represent God

We represent one another

Let’s help everyone swim

After all

They are our brother

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR

 

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Don’t just walk on by

Neighbor for neighbor

Let us all

Love one another

Come on

Let’s give it a try

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Don’t just walk on by

 

In the 10^th chapter

Of Saint Luke’s Gospel

A young man asks Jesus

Who is my neighbor

 

Jesus responds with a story

About a man

Who was robbed, stripped

And left lying

By the side of the road

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Don’t just walk on by

This is me loving you

Let us help one another

Let us

Give it a try

 

Jesus goes on to say

A priest comes by

And just keeps on going

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Give it a try

 

A Levite passes by

And just keeps on going

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Don’t just walk on by

 

But a Samaritan comes by

Stops, bandages his wounds

Takes the man to an inn

Pays for his room

And even stops

To check on him on his way home

 

Who is my neighbor

 

Neighbor for neighbor

Don’t just walk on by

Let us all

Be there for one another

Come on

Let’s give it a try

 

Neighbor for neighbor

I love you all

Neighbor for neighbor

Let us all give it a try

 

So

Who is my neighbor

 

My neighbor

Is anyone in need

 

So world

Let us all

Just try

To love one another

 

And

WE WILL GET BY

WHO JUST WAS=THIS SAINT PAUL=OF THE CROSS?

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHO JUST WAS=THIS SAINT PAUL=OF THE CROSS?

 

As MANY of you KNOW=I was AWAY last weekend=With 60 OTHER

Good Christian-Catholic MEN=At Saint Paul’s MONASTERY=On the SOUTH SIDE

Of Pittsburgh=It was ONE of the=MOST SPIRITUALLY FULFILLING WEEKENDS=Of my life!

 

There were Masses=Holy Communions=and a confession=and there were NUMEROUS=

Prayer study groups=Which DID VALIDATE=Much of what I believe=and WRITE ABOUT=But it

GOT ME=to thinking=Who just was=THIS SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS?=and this is

WHAT I came up with

 

SAINT PAUL OF THE CROSS (1694=to 1775)

Saint Paul of the CROSS=was a PRIEST=as well as the FOUNDER OF=THE PASSIONIST CONGREGATION=He was BORN in Genoa=and was the ELDEST SON=of an impoverished

Businessman=With NOBLE ancestry=He was brought up DEVOUTLY=from an early age=

And he TURNED DOWN=a rich inheritance=and a PROSPEROUS MARRIAGE  OPPORTUNITY=

He volunteered to FIGHT the Turks in 1714=AFTERWARDS He spent several YEARS=IN PRAYER=Until 1720=When he had a VISION=for a NEW CONGREGATION=

 

Which was tested=and eventually APPROVED=When HE=and his younger Brother John=and a FEW

OTHER COMPANIONS=Started a congregation in 1727=After Paul was ordained a priest=His

BELIEFS were austere=and He combined PENANCE=with an INTENSE DEVOTION to Jesus

Christ=Which he BELIEVED should be COMMUNICATED to others=Through mission

Work=In the parishes=Paul believed in COMBINING the ACTIVE LIFE  with the  CONTEMPLATIVE

LIFE

 

Saint Paul’s  MINISTRY=to the sick=and the dying=and for sinners=WAS so outstanding=That

His presence=Was requested THROUGHOUT ITALY=MANY of the young people left=Because

His teachings were so austere=but the WORK CONTINUED=with the FOUNDING of 3 houses

In 1747=and PAPAL approbation was  coming

 

Paul was a GIFTED PREACHER=especially on the subject=Of the PASSION of Jesus Christ=but he

Also had gifts of prophecy=and of HEALING=and was ABLE to read people’s HEARTS=Saint

Paul was very interested=IN THE Reconciliation=with the Church of England=with the Holy See!=

And FINAL PAPAL APPROVAL=for his congregation=was given in  1769=Where Paul RESIDED=

At the Churches of Saints John and Paul IN ROME

 

Paul wrote his ORDER in 5 days=at the age of 26=After 40 days of RETREAT AND PENANCE=and

THE PASSIONISTS CONTINUE today=as my weekend last week=ATTESTS TOO=Saint  Paul died

At the age of 80=and his FEAST DAY is=October 19^th

 

IN the names of Jesus=and our FOREVER LIVING and loving=Holy Father God!

PS          =WHILE I loved this past weekend=I/WE are the TOTAL SUM=of all of our EXPERIENCES

                   And I would NOT be=The person I am today=WITHOUT MY CHURCHES From Florida

                   And their CONTINUED EXISTENCE=IN MY LIFE

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 11^th th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

 

 

 

 

 

In the 20^th chapter

Of Saint Matthew’s Gospel

Jesus tells us the parable

Of a landowner hiring workers

 

He hires

Some workers in the morning

He hires

Some in mid-day

And he hires some

 Late in the day

 

When it comes time

For payment

He pays them

All the same wages

 

Is Jesus being unfair

What is Jesus

Trying to teach us

 

Jesus is NOT being unfair

Because he paid everyone

What he promised to pay them

 

I think here again

Jesus is trying to teach us

That God’s ways

Are NOT our ways

 

I think he is

Trying to teach us

That it makes no difference

When you come to God

As long as

YOU DO

Come to God

 

And I think Jesus

Is trying to teach us

That the payment

Is the same for us

No matter when we come to God

As long as

We do come to God

 

And the payment is

GOD’S UNDYING LOVE FOR US
AND SPENDING OUR ETERNITY WITH HIM

IN HEAVEN

THE PERFECT GAME---THE PERFECT LIFE

 

 

 

 

On a rainy---muggy night in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

In late May of 1959

A 33-year-old left-handed journeyman---pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates

Threw what many consider to be

The greatest game ever pitched

 

2000 years ago

A man lived

What many consider to be

The greatest life ever lived

 

A life of kindness

A life of compassion

A life of forgiveness

And a life of love---FOR ALL

 

The first man---Harvey Haddix---from---Medved, Ohio

Threw a perfectly pitched game of baseball

For 12 innings

 

Not just for nine innings---but for twelve innings

               27 batters up---27 batters down

               30 batters up---30 batters down

               ……..well you get the idea

 

Then in the bottom of the 13^th inning

A usually sure-handed third baseman

By the name of Don Hoak makes an error

And the Pirates lose

 

Yet in my mind---STILL

The greatest game ever pitched

 

2000 years ago

A man in my mind

Lived the greatest life ever lived

 

A live full of compassion and kindness

 

Compassion means

To have pity for

And to show kindness to another

 

“Let us not become weary

In doing good
For at the proper time

We will reap a harvest

If we do not give up

 

Therefore

As we have opportunity

Let us do good to all people

Especially to those

Who belong to the family of believers”                                    Galatians 6:9-10

 

And HOW did Christ live his life?

 

“Jesus went through

All the towns and villages

Preaching the good news of the kingdom

And healing every disease and sickness

 

When he saw the crowd

He had compassion on them

Because they were harassed and helpless

Like sheep without a shepherd”                                                     Matthew 9:35-36

 

And what about forgiveness?

 

In his dying breath, Jesus said,

 

“Father, forgive them

For they do not know

What they are doing”                                                                       Luke 23:34

 

An innocent man---freely and innocently

Giving up his life for all

 

“My command is this

Love each other

As I have loved you

Greater love has no one

Than to lay down his life

For his friends

 

Today you are my friends

If you do what I command”                                                   John 15:13&14

 

In 1994 Harvey Haddix died

With his game

Not even being recorded as a perfect game

Due to changes in baseball rules in 1991

 

Yet in my mind

STILL---the greatest game ever pitched

 

Jesus Christ died

Some 2000 years ago

 

Yet---in my mind

STILL---the greatest life ever lived

AND MY LORD---MY SAVIOR---AND MY GOD

 

In a world that has gone mad

With materialism

With sexual lust

And with “scientific miracles”

 

I feel that like Harvey

The world is trying to REMOVE

HIS name from the record books

 

“TODAY I CALL YOU FRIEND”

A FRIEND OF GOD

 

 

 

 

I am

A friend of God

His message

Is written in my heart

 

I am

A friend of God

His message is written

In my soul

 

I am

A friend of God

His message

Is always on my mind

 

Maybe

I will never do great things

Maybe his message

Will only be seen

In my smile

 

When I have the patience

To listen to

Another living soul

 

But I will always know

I am a friend of God

And that his message

Is always written

In love

 

I am

A friend of God

I am

A friend of yours too

 

One thing I know is

God’s message

Is always written in love
