Ps         INSPIRED by an article in LIVING FAITH MAGAZINE by Jennifer Christ


PRAYER IS MY BEST=OUR BEST WEAPON!

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRAYER IS MY=OUR=BEST WEAPON!

 

WE live=In an exasperating world=at times=WHERE it seems we

Are ALL under attack=from the devil=from the world=or sometimes other

People=But we all do=have ONE WEAPON=that enough of us=Don’t use=

PRAYING to Our Holy Father God=FOR MERCY=Praying to our God

And our Jesus=for INTERCESSION for us=PRAYER IS MY=OUR BEST WEAPON!=

“……..Whatever you did for ONE=of these least BROTHERS of mine=You

DID FOR ME”                                                                                                                                                Matthew 25:40

 

GOT THAT GUYS!=When you PRAY=for someone else=You are TOUCHING

GOD’S HEART TOO=You are touching=the HEART OF JESUS=and Prayer

Is something=EVERYONE of us=can do=No matter what OUR STATION in

Life is=PRAYER IS OUR BEST=My best weapon too

 

Saint Padre Pio said=”THE ROSARY=is THE WEAPON=for our times”=and

I do believe that=But I am going to=EXTEND that ONE STEP further=ANY kind

Of prayers=is The best weapon=ESPECIALLY INTERCESSORY PRAYERS for

Someone else=”In the same way=The SPIRIT helps us=in our weakness=We

Do not know=What we ought to PRAY for=but the Spirit himself INTERCEDES

For us=through wordless groans”                                                                                                       Romans 8:26

 

“Therefore he is able=to save completely=Those who come to God=Through

Him=because he always lives=TO INTERCEDE for them”                                                      Hebrews 7:25

 

I don’t know=WHO OR WHAT=Was on your PRAYING list for today=but I

Do know=that the HOLY FATHER GOD=and Jesus=hear every PRAYER=whether

They grant it or not=And so=When you PRAY=for someone else=God and Jesus

STAND WITH YOU=for them=that is INTERCESSORY PRAYER=and my brothers=

And sisters=It is OUR BEST WEAPON=sometimes=it is OUR ONLY WEAPON=

Because when we have nothing else=PRAYER IS=OUR BEST WEAPON!

 

There is=SO MUCH SUFFERING=in this world=We HEAR it every day=on the news=

The wars=the crimes=the domestic violence=That goes on=I pray for all of it=for

THIS world NEEDS HELP=and when you PRAY for someone else=You are doing

SOMETHING GOOD for them=SOMETIMES PRAYER IS OUR BEST=

OUR ONLY WEAPON!=”For though=we live in the world=We do not wage war=as

The world does=THE WEAPONS=we fight with=are NOT=the WEAPONS=of the

World”                                                                                                                                                            2 Corinthians 10:4

 

NO the weapons=We FIGHT with=are LOVE=KINDNESS=forgiveness=mercy=

AND PRAYER=The same weapons=that Jesus FOUGHT WITH=We are not Jesus=

But MAYBE=our  prayers CAN help someone=Or at least give someone=a BRIGHTER

Day today=A PRAYER for someone=is a good deed=for sometimes=PRAYER IS

MY=OUR BEST WEAPON!=Our only WEAPON OF LOVE=”HEAR MY PRAYER=Lord=

Listen to=My cry for MERCY”                                                                                                                       Psalm 86:6

 

“……..These I will bring=to my holy mountain=and give them joy in my house OF

PRAYER=Their burnt offerings and sacrifices=Will be ACCEPTED on my altar=for

My house=will be called=A HOUSE OF PRAYER=for all nations”                                                  Isaiah 56:7

 

And so my friends=SAY an INTERCESSORY PRAYER=for someone today=It may be=

The ONLY PRAYER=that they get=PRAYER IS MY/OUR BEST WEAPON=and sometimes

That is ALL WE GOT!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name of our EVER LOVING=ALWAYS LIVING=

FOREVER PRAYING=Holy Father God!

GOD NEVER LEAVES US!

 

 

 

 

GOD NEVER LEAVES US!

 

Do you ever feel ABANDONED?

Do you ever FEEL

In a panic?

 

Maybe WHEN you lose your

Cell phone=your keys=

Or even your eyeglasses?  

 

Do you WONDER

Was it stolen?  Will you

EVER find it?

 

I usually PRAY to God and

Saint Anthony=to find it

To help me RELAX=

To feel COMPOSED

 

I would be LOST without my keys-

My cell phone-my glasses=

But I would be

EVEN MORE LOST

Without God and Jesus

 

“Have you seen him

Whom my HEART LOVES?”                                                        Song of Songs:3:3

 

In those mornings

Where I am LOST

In myself

 

WHERE I feel abandoned

And I ask myself

WHERE MY GOD IS=

The answer

Lies WITHIN MY OWN HEART

 

My God=NEVER ABANDONS ME

Sometimes he is

HIDING=in plain sight

 

We KNOW our God

NEVER ABANDONS US=and our ANSWER

Is in our own heart

In the LOVE OF GOD

 

Our God answers-

Our God responds=

GOD NEVER LEAVES US!

 

“He will RESPOND

To the prayer

Of the destitute

 

He will not-

Despise their plea”                                                                 Psalm 102:17

 

“’In that day=I WILL RESPOND’

Declares the Lord

 

‘I will RESPOND=to the skies

And they will RESPOND

To the earth’”                                                                          Hosea 2:21

 

There is NOTHING=and no one

In this world

That can steal

MY GOD from me

 

My LOVE for him

Is never ending=and even

More so=is

HIS LOVE FOR ME

His love is NEVER ENDING

 

GOD NEVER LEAVES US!

Never abandons us=it LIVES

In out hearts

 

He is NOT LIKE

Our keys-our glasses-

Our cell phones=

He is ALWAYS FOUND

INSIDE of our very own hearts

 

“If you seek him

He will be FOUND

By you”                                                                                          1 Chronicles 28:9

 

“Seek the Lord

While he may be FOUND=

Call on him

While he is near”                                                                        Isaiah 55:6

 

NO internet connection needed

NO password required

GOD LIVES FOREVER!

In our hearts

God NEVER leaves us

He is always FOUND=

Inside of us!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR HOLY FATHER GOD=

Who is always ALIVE=inside of us!

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 11th th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

 

 

 

 

 

In the 20th 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

ALIVE OR 1/2 DEAD

 

 

 

 

 

WITNESS

ALIVE OR HALF DEAD

 

 

There is a famous story

Where a philosopher---

I think it was Friedrich Nietzsche

 

He is speaking to

A group of Christians

He looks out at the audience and says

“I thought a Christian

Was supposed to be radiantly alive

Most of you look ½ dead”

 

When I am out in the world

I look around

And I have to tell you

I couldn’t agree more

 

Where did our hope go

 

When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the desert

Jesus answered,

 

“It is written

Man does not live by bread alone

But on every word

That comes from the mouth of God”                                         Matthew 4:4

 

God’s Word is alive

It is life

Is his Word alive in you

 

The devil tempted Jesus a second time,

Jesus answered,

 

“It is also written

Do not put your God to the test”                                              Matthew 4:7

 

What is testing you

Health matters

Financial matters

Broken relationships

Addictions

All of the above

 

Life is a constant battle

Between the spirit

And the desires of the flesh

 

Jesus was tempted

Still a third time by the devil

He answered,

 

“Away from me

For it is written

Worship the Lord your God only”                                                Matthew 4:8

 

RADIANTLY ALIVE!

 

How can we stay radiantly alive

In a world full of booby traps

Seemingly set up---to take us down

 

ONLY by reading the Bible

ONLY by praying without ceasing

ONLY by staying in touch with God

ONLY by having a personal relationship

With Our Lord and SAVIOR---JESUS CHRIST

 

It is a choice

 

We know the devil

Did ultimately win a battle

Did take CHRIST down---because of a betrayal

But the devil LOST the war

Because of JESUS’ connection to his Father

 

Where are you

In your personal relationship with God

Is God’s Word alive in you

 

Are you feeling

More dead than alive

 

If so---maybe just maybe

You are looking to find life

In the things of this world

 

“The Word of God

Is living and active---SHARPER

Than any double-edged sword”                                                 Hebrews 4:12

 

“To teach you

That man does not live on bread alone

But on every word

That comes from the mouth of God”                                   Deuteronomy 8:3

 

RADIANTLY ALIVE?

 

The choice is ours

An individual choice---a personal choice

That each and every one of us has to make

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

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

EVEN IF=WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT=TRUST GOD

 

 

 

 

 

 

EVEN IF=WE DON’T GET=WHAT WE WANT

(Trust God)

 

For MOST=of the early years of MY LIFE=I PRAYED to

The Holy Father God and to Jesus=That they HELP me ATTAIN=a

Professional career=and FIND a woman to share my life with=and

BUILD a family=and a life=Though I thought=it was GOING to happen

At times=It never did=But God and Jesus=Gave me SOMETHING BETTER=

A life=TOTALLY DEPENDENT on them=Years and years with my FAMILY=

And MORE wonderful WOMEN FRIENDS=and men friends=Than a man

Has a RIGHT TO HAVE

 

EVEN WHEN WE=DON’T GET WHAT WE WANT=Trust God=Job did=The

Apostles and the Saints did=and so did THE PROPHETS of=The Old

Testament=”You shall NOT=put The Lord=Your God=to the TEST”                                            Luke 4:12

 

I think=WE all make BARGAINS with God=PROMISES to God=To try

And GET what we want=WHEN I was on my deathbed=I PROMISED our God

Of love=That if GIVEN LIFE=I would live a life FOR OTHERS=and our GOD OF LOVE=

Has HELPED me=to TRY and keep that promise=He has PUT ME=to the test=

And I have COME CLOSE=to giving up at times=But our God of LOVE=has

SUSTAINED ME=and stood by me

 

And so MY PRAYERS for you=MY dear brothers and sisters=That when your

PRAYERS=are NOT ANSWERED=that you still TRUST GOD=I did=and I am  not

Sorry=He has given me=ALL OF YOU!=TRUST GOD=Live with Hope=

EVEN IF=YOU DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANT!

 

“Some trust in chariots=and some in horses=BUT WE TRUST=in the name=

Of the Lord our God”                                                                                                                                      Psalm 20:7

 

“This is what=The Sovereign Lord=The Holy One of Israel says’=

‘In repentance=and rest is your salvation=In quietness and TRUST=is your

Strength=but you would have none of it’”                                                                                    Isaiah 30:15

 

“Now it is required=That those who have been=GIVEN A TRUST=Must

Prove faithful”                                                                                                                                                  Corinthians 4:2

 

God is MORE than just an answer=To our PRAYERS=More than just

Giving us WHAT WE WANT=and wish for=He calls us to have an EVEN IF FAITH=

That=EVEN IF WE=DON’T GET WHAT WE WANT

That we CONTINUE to SERVE him=Trust him and LIVE WITH FAITH AND HOPE=and

Love=and NOT GIVE UP=Trust God=CONTINUE TO SERVE!

“And now Israel=What does the Lord=Your God ask of you=but to fear the Lord

Your God=to walk in obedience=to him=TO SERVE the Lord your God=with all

Your heart and with all your soul……..”                                                                                                        Isaiah 10:12

 

And so MY DEAR BROTHERS and sisters=Crank up that=EVEN IF FAITH=and

Continue to trust God=Even if=You DON’T GET WHAT YOU WANT!=I did=and I am

Not sorry=I got what I needed=IN ALL OF YOU

 

KEEP the Holy Father God=and the LORD Jesus=At the CENTER of your Life=for

AS LONG as you live=No matter the pain=no matter THE SUFFERING=and no matter

The loss=and LIVE WITH HOPE!

 

Dear Jesus=Dear Holy Father God OF LOVE=we will Continue to SERVE YOU=and live

WITH HOPE=and be Your 21st century apostles=EVEN IF=we don’t get what we want

SAINT JOHN OF GOD=PATRON SAINT OF THE SICK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAINT JOHN OF GOD---patron Saint of the sick-hospitals

                                           And of book sellers and printers

                                           1495-1550

 

 

 

 

 

Saint John of God

Was born in Portugal

And was founder of the Brothers Hospitallers

 

He joined the mercenaries

And fought for Spain

Against the French and Turks in Hungary

 

When he was in the army

He gave up ALL practice of religion

After the disbandment of his troop

He worked as a Shepherd

 

At the age of 40

He rededicated himself to God

And helping the poor

 

He suffered a period of “madness”

Running through the streets

Tearing out his hair

And giving away his Sacred books

From the bookstore where he sold them

 

His friends---most notably John of Avila

Calmed him down

And he rededicated himself

To the sick and the poor

 

He rented a house---

Filled it with sick poor people

And for over 10 years

Devoted himself to taking care of his patients

 

He had never-ending energy

But this was balanced by prayer

 

His final illness

Was brought on

When he saved a man from drowning

In a flood

 

He died at the age of 55

Before the altar at his hospital chapel

 

Today---he is known as the PATRON SAINT

Of the SICK---of HOSPITALS---and booksellers and printers

 

Today---March 8th---is his feast day

HE IS WITH US!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MARCH 8th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

HE IS WITH US

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus said

I am with you always

And I believe

He is

 

He is with us

With a hug

From our mother

He is with us

In a handshake

From a friend

 

He is with us

 

He is with us

When the sun comes up

In the morning

 

He is with us

 

He is with us

Even in the mourning

When a loved one leaves us

 

He is with us

 

He is with us

In a rainbow

In the sky

 

He is with us

 

He is with us

In the blooming

Of a flower

 

He is with us

 

He is with us

Even when our lives

Are turning out

All wrong

 

He is with us

 

He is

Teaching us a brand new song

 

Jesus said

I am with you always

And I believe he is

 

He is with us

FULLY LIVING THE GOSPEL=and

(And Finding Everything)!

 

Do you LOVE Jesus?=Do you LOVE THE GOSPEL?=The WORDS

Of God!=I suggest to you=That either BOTH answers are yes=or

Both ANSWERS are NO=You cannot have ONE=without the other=For

Jesus was=THE WORD=made flesh=The LIVING=loving=acting

OUT of the Word of God=FULLY LOVING THE GOSPEL!=”THE WORD

Became flesh=and made his dwelling among us=We have seen his GLORY=

Of the ONE and only Son=Who came from the Father=Full of

Grace and truth”                                                                                                                                           John 1:14

 

“Peter began to say to Jesus’=’We have given up EVERYTHING=and

Followed you’”                                                                                                                                   Mark 10:28

But LISTEN to Jesus’ answered=”Truly I tell you=No one=who has left home=

Or brothers or sisters=Or mother or father=or children=or fields for me=

AND THE GOSPEL=will fail to RECEIVE=a hundred times=as much in

The present age=……..and in the age to come to ETERNAL LIFE”                                  Mark 10:29-30

 

I have FOUND=all that to be TRUE=Just like our BROTHER JOB=from

The OLD TESTAMENT=Because of GIVING my life to=THE Holy Father=

Because of LIVING MY LIFE=on the WORDS of Jesus=I have been

GIVEN BACK so much more

 

ADDITIONAL years of life=Enough financial HELP and money=to survive=and

Being able=to spend years with My Mother and Father=and be with them=as

They PASSED from this life to the next=and not ONLY getting many more years

With MY TWO SISTERS=but FINDING all of you=My brothers and sisters=to

ACCOMPANY me along the way=Just be=FULLY LIVING THE GOSPEL LIFE!=

And internalizing it

 

“For I am NOT ashamed=OF THE GOSPEL=Because it is=THE POWER of God=

That brings salvation to everyone=First to the Jew=then to the Gentile”                             Romans 1:16

“For IN THE GOSPEL=the righteousness of God=is REVEALED=--------a righteousness=

That is by faith=from first=to last=just as it is written=’The righteous

Will live by faith’”                                                                                                                                                 Romans 1:17

 

When we=PUT GOD FIRST=when we LIVE BY THE GOSPEL=We find EVERYTHING=

We find=OUR VERY OWN SELF=We find the INNER WORKINGS of ourselves=and

What we are ALL about=We find humility=we find TRUTH=It is by no means easy=

We find difficulties=we find persecution at times=but we FIND OUT=what

Really matters= in this life=by FULLY LIVING THE GOSPEL=We  FIND EVERYTHING!

“For when=I preach THE GOSPEL=I cannot boast=since I am Compelled

To preach=Woe to me=IF I=do NOT preach the GOSPEL”                                                     1 Corinthians 9:16

 

“Whatever happen=Conduct yourselves in a manner=WORTHY of the GOSPEL

Of Christ”                                                                                                                                                          Philippians 1:27

 

I may=have lost some WORLDLY THINGS=along the way=But for me=it

Was NOT that great of  a loss=for in the LONG RUN=for I FOUND MYSELF=and

All of you by=FULLY LIVING THE GOSPEL!

 

Loving God ABOVE all else=Loving MY NEIGHBOR as myself=Forgiving 70X7=

And incorporating THE BEATITUDES into my personal life

 

Peter lost everything=but found even more=SO DID I!=Just by

LIVING THE GOSPEL!

ALWAYS LIVE IT!

 







ALWAYS LIVE IT!


The GOLDEN RULE is

ONE of the CORE teachings of Jesus


In Matthew today=we read it=

And it is PART

Of the SERMON on the MOUNT=

ALWAYS LIVE IT!


“So in everything

DO TO OTHERS

What you would


Have them=do to you=

For this sums up

The LAW

And the PROPHETS”                                                                                                   Matthew 7:12


Most of us have LEARNED

This law=and recite

This law=

From the TIME

We were children


WHY then=do we STRUGGLE

So much to live it?

The REASON we struggle

With it=is


Is because it is IMPOSSIBLE

To do=almost

ALL the time


ALWAYS LIVE IT!

Always live the GOLDEN RULE


“But he knows

The way I take=


When he has tested me=

I will come forth

AS GOLD”                                                                                                              Job 23:10


“Because I love your commands

MORE THAN GOLD=

More than PURE GOLD”                                                                                        Psalm 119:127


“A good name

Is more desirable

Than great riches


To be esteemed

Is better=than silver OR GOLD”                                                                                    Proverbs 22:1


ALWAYS LIVE IT!=

Always live=the golden rule


WHY is this so difficult 

To live?=we see EXAMPLES

Of cruelty and disrespect 

All around us=

We may even be GUILTY of it=ourselves


Instead we practice

A CHEAP IMITATION

Of the golden rule


We TREAT OTHERS well

If they agree with us=

If they-

SHARE OUR FAITH=


If they BELONG to

The SAME political party

As us=or if they

TREAT US WELL FIRST


The LORD'S rule is SIMPLE

“Do unto others=

Whatever you would have them

DO to you”


In other words=

LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

Always live it!


“A new command=

I give you=LOVE ONE ANOTHER


As I have loved you

So you MUST love one another

By this=everyone will know


You are my disciples=

If you LOVE ONE ANOTHER”                                                                              John 13:34


The golden rule=LOVE one another

LIVE IT ALWAYS!


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING HOLY FATHER!
