WE ARE TO PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL=AND LIVE IT TOO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

WE ARE TO PROCLAIM IT(THE GOSPEL)!=and

LIVE IT TOO

 

TODAY(April 25th)=We CELEBRATE=The feast day of the GREAT EVANGELIST=and

ACTIONS!

 

The ORIGINAL 11 apostle=+1 in Saint Matthias=did just that=They took the work of Jesus=

And EVANGELIZED the world=and they were SUCCESSFUL at it=Because they CARRIED=

With them=THE HOLY SPIRIT of God==Jesus=and GOD THE FATHER!=They survived poisonings=

Deadly snake bites=and They HEALED PEOPLE and expelled demons=”And these signs will

Accompany=Those who BELIEVE=In my name=They will drive out DEMONS=They will SPEAK=

In new tongues=They will pick up snakes=With their hands=and they will DRINK deadly poison=

It will NOT HURT them all=They will place their HANDS=On sick people=and they will

GET WELL”                                                                                                                                                    Mark 17:18

 

We are THE EVIDENCE=That the first 11+ Matthias succeeded=We are the Christians of

TODAY=We are the 21st century BELIEVERS=The CHRISTIANS=That the world looks too=But

There is still WORK to do=UNTIL every human being in this world=ACCEPTS God the Holy Father=

And Jesus Christ in their heart=We are to BE THE EXAMPLES=Of the God of LOVE and Jesus=IN

This world=WE ARE=TO PROCLAIM IT=and LIVE IT=Just like tall those EARLY CHRISTIANS=Like

John Mark!

“Sing to the Lord=all the earth=PROCLAIM HIS SALVATION=Day after day”              1 Chronicles 16:23

“The heavens declare=The glory of God=THE SKIES PROCLAIM=The work of his hands”   Psalm 19:1

“He will=PROCLAIM  PEACE=to the nations=His rule will extend=From sea to sea=and from

THE RIVER==to the ENDS of the earth”                                                                                      Zechariah 9:10

 

It is NOT just=The Pope and the Catholic Church=NOT just the Community Christian Churches=

That it is the JOB= to PROCLAIM the GOSPEL=and to LIVE IT=It is up To ALL OF US TOO=We are to

PROCLAIM THE WORD of God and Jesus to ALL=In this world=It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY and=

Our Christian duty=To do it=TO PROCLAIM IT=and to LIVE IT TOO!=Just like Saint Mark=and the early

APOSTLES=Give yourself to the cause!

 

We are to=LOVE ALL OUR BROTHERS and sisters=Regardless of religion=Regardless of Gender and

Sexuality=The job of the EARLY APOSTLES=Is not complete=PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL=Proclaim

The WORD=LOVE IT and LIVE IT!=Our GOD=IS A GOD OF LOVE FOR ALL!

“So from Jerusalem=All the way around to Illyricum=I have FULLY PROCLAIMED the GOSPEL=

Of Christ”                                                                                                                                                             Romans 15:19

“This is THE GOSPEL=That you heard=and that has=BEEN PROCLAIMED=To every creature under

Heaven=and of which=I PAUL=Have become a servant”                                                           Colossians 1:23

 

And so my sisters and BROTHERS=OVERCOME your own PREJUDICES=Your own  temptations=

Ego and temper=and PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL OF LOVE=to ALL living creatures==In word=

In deed and IN ACTION=PROCLAIM IT!=Love and LIVE IT!=It is our DUTY to FOLLOW Jesus=

GOOD TO GO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APRIL 29th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

GOOD TO GO

 

 

 

 

 

A long time ago

I made a promise

That was

To live for God

And all others

 

I did my best to keep it                                                                          

Only God knows for sure

Whether or not I did

But if God is ready for me

I am ready for him

I am

Good to go

 

Good to go

To his love

Good to go

To his mercy

Good to go

To the God

Who knows all things

Yes I am ready

I am good to go

 

I dream of walking

Hand and  hand

With Jesus

I dream of his

And God’s love

 

Don’t know if God is ready

But when he is

I am

Good to go

Ps        “……..for the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate

            He will NOT turn his face from you

            If you return to him”                                    2 Chronicles 30:9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAINT CATHERINE of Siena

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENA

 

 

Catherine lived

From 1337 to 1380

 

She was

The youngest of 20 children

And from an early age

Was devoted to a life

Of penance and prayer-despite parental opposition

 

She refused

To consider marriage

And became a Dominican tertiary

 

She began to mix with other people

And began to nurse the sick-in hospitals

Along with her disciples

Which included both men and women

 

She taught many to reform

Through a TOTAL love of God

 

She never learned to write

But wrote 383 letters

Expressing her philosophy

Through dictation

 

Her holiness

Was centered on Christ’s crucifixion

And she saw this

As the SUPREME love of God-for man

 

She received much criticism

Especially during the last 5 years

Of her life

When she became involved

In the politics

Of both state and church

 

She suffered a stroke

On April 21st 1380

And died 8 days later

 

Her life story

Was written by Raymond Caputa

Her friend-and later

Master General of the Dominican order

 

This led

To her canonization in 1461

With the quality of her writings

And her membership

In the Dominican order

Bringing her much support

 

She became a figure

Of international importance and influence

Became Siena ‘s principal Saint ( along with Bernard of Siena )

And was believed to be responsible

For bringing the papacy

Back to Rome

 

Her common emblem

Is the lily

And she was declared

A Doctor of the church-in 1970

 

Her feast day is April the 29th

1 SAMUEL CHAPTER 5 Through 7 Notes=For

MVF CHERYL and Bobby Boy=4-28-2026

 

Chapter 5

THE ARK=In Philistine Territory

 

=The PHILISTINES Capture the ARK=Of the COVENANT=and

PLACE it in=The TEMPLE of Dagon(Their god)

 

=THE IDOL of Dagon=FALLS down before the Ark--------

Twice=SHOWING GOD’S SUPERIORITY!

 

=God AFFLICTS the Philistines=With tumors and PANIC in cities

Like Ashdod=Gath=and Ekron

 

=The PHILISINES REALIZE=The ARK is bringing JUDGMENT=and

Decide to send it away

 

THE KEY IDEA

=GOD’S POWER =is not limited

 

 

1 Samuel 6

 

THE ARK=Is returned to Israel

 

=The Philistines=SEND the Ark back with OFFERINGS

(Gold tumors and rats)=to stop the plagues

 

=They USE a test=COWS pull the cart-CARRYING the ARK

Without guidance=--------and it GOES STRAIGHT to Israel=PROVING

It is from God

 

=The ARK=arrives at Beth Shemesh=and the people REJOICE

 

=However some Israelites=Look INSIDE the ARK=and are

STRUCK DOWN for their IRREVERENCE

 

=THE KEY IDEA=GOD IS HOLY=He MUST be treated with RESPECT=

Even by his own people

 

 

1 SAMUEL 7

 

ISRAEL REPENTS=and God DELIVERS

 

=The ARK is kept at Kiriath Jearim=For many years

 

=THE PROPHET SAMUEL=Calls Israel to REPENT=and turn away=

From IDOLS Like Baal=and Ashtoreth

 

=The people GATHER at Mizpah=CONFESS their sins and fast

 

=WHEN the Philistines attack=Israel asks SAMUEL TO PRAY

 

=God RESPONDS with Thunder=Throwing the Philistines into confusion=--------

And ISRAEL WINS THE BATTLE

 

=Samuel sets up a stone=Called Ebenezer=Meaning

“STONE OF HELP”=To REMEMBER GOD’S DELIVERANCE

 

=Samuel leads Israel=as JUDGE=Bringing PEACE

During his lifetime

 

THE KEY IDEA=REPENTANCE BRINGS RESTORATION=--------WHEN

The people RETURN to God=He FIGHTS FOR THEM

 

THE OVEALL THEMES

 

=GOD HAS SUPREMACY=Over idols and nations

 

=GOD’S HOLINESS Requires REVERENCE

 

=REPENTANCE leads to=VICTORY AND PEACE

 

=God is FAITHFUL=and HELPS HIS PEOPLE
