One either accepts Christ’s teaching or  refuses it , there is no middle of the road, you cannot pick and choose : I like this , I don’t like that , this fits in with today’s trend , the spirit of our times , into my comfortable life , but  these are harsh words. The most common cause for rejecting Jesus even in our times is, that even today He asks for something , that cannot be fulfilled , accepted lightly without faith , making sacrifices .

Great things are gifts , don’t push yourself , you only have to bend down humbly , take hold of them . A good friend , an unexpectedly  widely opening door , that reveals infinite vistas  , branches pulled down by the rich harvest -the gifts of the new Kingdom .

A sure sign of belonging to God is ,if I listen to my Creator … Do I listen to my conscience ???? Every man, if they become quiet, calmly praying turn within themselves , will hear the Word of God . It is a fact that we don’t always like what God is telling us, so it’s better to listen to the radio , talk or go on the internet ….

Trustingly lets put our phones down and lets become still , there is a wonderful world within us that is so exciting to discover !! God is good company , not boring , does not hassle us , simply like a truly good Shepherd leads us, He takes care of everything kind-heartedly , and if we stray , even if we are the ” hundredth” He will search for us !! Lets trust with confidence our lives through our conscience , to God leading us in the Church .

With love,

I can imagine that great branches will break off mankind’s great tree and will perish- it happened before during the course of history-but somehow this holy trunk will sprout, come to life again. God is at work.

During our pilgrimage here on earth the Holy Spirit is the One who is the closest to us, who sanctifies us. The Holy Spirit is the voice of God within us , speaks to us through our conscience .

And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? Matthew 13, 54-55

Jesus’ contemporaries could not , did not dare to raise high on the wings of the living faith ! They looked at the Son of the carpenter from Nazareth sceptically, suspiciously , in short they regarded themselves wise, in their unbelief , they dared to be insignificant ! Do we have the courage to be raised high on the wings of the living faith , to turn to Christ with the Christian faith of an adult ?

How much trust do we have in God, each other , ourselves ? Does the man made from a handful of dust , dare or want to pay attention to God , to raise his gaze to his Creator , or rather down in the valley pour themselves a golden calf !

Do I dare to push down the doorhandles down do I want to cross the threshold that separates me from the supernatural world , so that I can get going towards the Holy Trinity ?

I suggest we make a time frame for our spiritual life . This is totally different for a mother taking care of a family, am elderly person or in case of a monk. Lets have a time in our day , when we spend the time , to organise the things to do , trying to establish an order importance , checking where we maybe likely to fail , lets prepare deliberately to try and avoid them . Lets take count if there is someone who particularly needs our help and how we can help. And prior to all this lets ask God’s blessing and help and help for our whole day , as this way holding onto His hand can we walk our everyday . It is good to look back at night , whether we managed to accomplish our decisions during the day , asking for His pardon for our slip-ups, this way we can get peace of mind in our evening prayers , we can be renewed in the love of God.

Are you afraid ? Do you feel small vulnerable , fragile ? Can’t you see the way ahead that leads you on in this entangled world ? Do you feel that you are in the clutches of the scary tomorrow filled with real dangers  and are you overwhelmed by the panic that is like the flood breaking through every impediment?

Cling onto the cross and raise it high , on which did the Redeemer of the world hung ! Be not afraid , Christ died for you as well and is risen! ! Our Redeemer is telling , consoling , encouraging you:

 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?i28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.l 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. “ Matthew 6, 25 -34

Let’s pray for each other clinging onto the Word of God and Christ’s blood soaked cross , so that our world can overcome  the many different crisis , that can be solved  if we unite humbly, wisely !

With love ,

Whatever has happened being because of our own or others’  sin , we are mortally wounded , or we are in the maze of hopeless illnesses , there ,where we are ,lets start loving those , who have the greatest need for our love ! And humbly trust in the One , Who saw it fit to create us and invites us into His Kingdom .

To believe in Christ and His teaching is our decision ! Anybody -who takes the time on it-can get to know His life ! If you really get to know Him than you will get to love Him and this way His life becomes part of your life ! The one who believes in Him  not only loves Him , but  would like to make His words , deeds part of their everyday ! Jesus is not a film star who has to be admired , but a Teacher , who shows us how one could make the right decisions , achieve the desired results in the different circumstances  life can produce ! 

Jesus , just like us meets with people from all walks of life , His life is a beautiful example that shows us how to bring out the best from different people and circumstances ! To believe in Christ means , that you emulate Christ , and like this with Saint Paul you can say " I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Letter to the Galatians 2,22.
