UNITY

 

To be "whole" means that all parts of a human being; spiritual, physical, 

mental, psychological, emotional,  is united to form a "whole". 

Out of that word came the word "holy",  a holy person is simply 

an integrated person, all those elements are integrated into one. 

At that level, nothing contradictory remains in the person, nothing is 

hidden and hypocrisy is impossible. 

When I was called an integrist by someone in France, I felt honoured, 

even though I knew it was meant in the derogatory sense; integrist = fundamentalist=extremist.

 It is about unity

In this moment of  time we are looking into the abyss 

of dictatorship and forced genetic engineering,  

fascism is no longer something that happens elsewhere,  

it is happening to us.

Only by uniting can we stop it.

 

 Unity starts with the individual:

 

The unity of soul, spirit, mind, body, psychology, emotions;

all united to the will of God.

Since we have fallen from grace, it is a constant battle.

In marriage the coming together of 2 bodies of the 

opposite sex, created physically and specifically for the purpose.

The work of the 2 minds, 2 beings, is to undertake the enormously 

difficult commitment of pledging to overcome all the difficulties that 

their union entails. To love and honour God through the other person.

This is not possible by human strength alone, and in the 

true Catholic Church divorce is not possible, this union provides nearly 

always, crosses, which we need in order to grow in God's love.

 

If we are  able to accept suffering without automatically looking 

for a cure or a way out, we can use it consciously to unite ourselves with 

Jesus, who suffered like us in every way;

physically, psychologically, emotionally.

 

 

"All love craves unity. As the highest peak of love in the human order 

is the unity of husband and wife in the flesh, so the highest unity in 

the Divine order is the unity of the soul and Christ in communion."

Bishop Fulton J.Sheen

 

Out from the family unit we do our best to live in unity with the wider 

community. From micro to macro.

People, together.

 

In situations of crisis we know that people come together, 

united for a common cause. 

The moment has arrived again,

To fight the enemy, for he has unveiled himself. 

Jesus; true God and true Man, lies dormant in each and every 

person.

Still hibernating in most , starting to wake up in others, 

getting dressed in some, getting ready to go to work in a few!

 

 

 

Authority; what to do?

 

The Covid 19 virus can be dangerous for people with underlying conditions, 

particularly conditions that has to do with the respiratory system, e.g. asthma. 

Also, as stated from the beginning, old, frail people and OBESE people, 

are at higher risk.

The Taoiseach in waiting; Mary Lou McDonald, condemned strongly the 

people of her own city; Dublin, who 8 days ago were out on the streets 

protesting against the lockdown. 

I think that caused another section of society to wake up.

Because the right to protest when our human rights are taken from us, 

has in this country a very special link with the IRA and it's political wing 

Sinn Fein.

For Mary Lou McDonald to come out with her condemnation like she did, 

must have been like a punch in the solar plexus for many of her supporters 

who were out on the streets.

It is just a reminder that power corrupts, that what you say you represent, 

and who you represent, before you get into government, is very often 

forgotten afterwards.

Mary Lou warned against joining the protest in Cork yesterday, 

and sad to say, there was indeed a very small turnout. 

But sure, why would anyone bother, when one receives money for doing 

nothing, 

(even though after 1 year it is becoming extremely tedious to do nothing), 

but no great urgency is felt, there is no outrage, because the stomach is full, 

nobody is hungry. 

People still trust, because there is no opposition; well, there is, 

but those voices are silenced very quickly.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And since we are part of the EU, here is the Belgian Minister for HEALTH:

 

 

 

 

Everybody at risk should protect themselves.

But why should the rest of the population, whose immune system can cope

with this infection, be held in prison for a year? 

When there is a safe, tried and trusted medication in the form of a simple tablet; 

IVERMECTIN, proven to be very efficient in the treatment of Covid?

It has been used for decades.

A lockdown is always the very last solution, in a case of situations similar to 

the Black Death, but this has never been the case with Covid.

The Lockdown is to the detriment of the economy, mental health, education, 

society as a whole.

Does it make sense to you?      It doesn't to me, it just does not add up.

I know quite a few people who has been infected, and I am pretty sure I have 

had it myself, although I did not have a test. 

Covid is not pleasant, it is never pleasant to be sick, for God sake, 

but the advantage is that in this way we acquire immunity.

 

The "normal", "average" citizen has faith in the State, they believe that the 

State will take care of them, and that it wants what is best for them.

It is not unreasonable to think that, we may have very good reason to think it;

there was a health system there for us when we needed it, they educated our 

children, they gave them jobs, etc. 

Why would we not continue to trust them now too?

 

It is now well known that the PCR tests carried out to determine Covid

positivity or negativity, are wholly unreliable, but with the massive testing 

carried out is only for the purpose to create numbers "infected" every day 

that they tell us in the mainstream media. The numbers presented on the telly

as "died with Covid", means that someone who dies for any reason whatsoever,

but has obtained a positive result from a PCR test, even though they might not 

have had any symptoms, are registered as "dying with Covid".

Indeed the second oldest person in the world; the 117 year old French nun 

Sister André, did't even realise she had the virus......

Our leaders are only mere humans, like yourself and myself. 

In terms of subjecting ourselves to authority, we only need to think back when 

we were small, when we were totally dependent on adults; usually our parents, 

but also those who were running "mother and babies" homes.

Both in families and institutions there was terrible mistreatment and abuse 

of all sorts done to innocent and defenseless children.

I think most of it happened more out of ignorance than deliberate

evil.

And remember, the human psyche is complex, and still largely undiscovered.

As children we did not have the autonomy or power to break free from tyranny.

But we do now.

 

Sadly the Irish Catholic Bishops joined in from day one, it is pathetic.

They have publicly castigated any of their priests that has had the courage to 

celebrate Mass or distribute Holy Communion since the so called pandemic 

1 year ago, because they work for God and they need to feed their flock.

 

Also, warnings against taking the "vaccine" (mRNA technology), which has 

cells from aborted babies, (therefore Catholics who are against abortion will 

not concede to taking it on moral grounds)

and in addition the vaccine has not terminated it's trial period,  

(therefore it's producers have been given total indemnity!!!),   

this gives plenty of reason for not wanting it, but that also is crushed by the 

Church's authority.

(Fr Ted Sheehan of Glounthaune, Cork, 28.Feb.)

 

Pope Francis using his authority to threaten the staff of the Vatican, 

if they don't vaccinate, they risk losing their job, does that sound normal 

to you?

If we were dealing with the Plague, yes, but this is not, and has never been, 

the case with Covid. 

Mister Bergoglio (otherwise known as the pope)  is the same man who said 

the vaccine is morally acceptable, despite the aborted babies, because the 

abortions  are in the past (!),  he promoted gay civil union, he has encouraged 

transgenderism, he is wholly and enthusiastically into the climate change cult, 

he works for the Catholic Church's unification with all other religions of the 

world for the "Brotherhood of man"....etc. 

In other words, he does not work for the Catholic Church.

Seriously, as a Catholic I give him zero authority over my life choices.

 

We need to stand up to people in authority when we see that they do not know 

what they are doing.   There are more of us than them. Are you willing, 

do you have the courage to do what you can, and to risk losing a bit of your 

own comfort and security?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interpretations

 

Catholics are asked to leave personal interpretations to God.

Because our own interpretations are always just ours; subjective.

Our mindsets were created from what we in the past took in with our 

eyes, and what we heard with our ears, and the interpretations of our 

role models, whoever they were at any given time, (the ones we had 

when we were small, are usually the ones that had most affect on us). 

What was said and done to us, we say and do to others. 

What others believed in, became our beliefs, their values became our values.

Conditioning.

It says in the Bible that God's mind is not like our minds, 

and that His thoughts are not our thoughts. 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

  neither are your ways my ways,”
  declares the Lord.

“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
 so are my ways higher than your ways
 and my thoughts than your thoughts.

  

(Isaiah 55:8-9)

That is why it is so important to convert: to change radically;

throw out the old mind and start to really take on board every 

Word from the Mouth of God. 

 

 

 

We are asked to hand over, surrender our mind (understanding, interpretation)

to Him, and to acquire His mind instead. 

That is why we should not judge = meaning: follow our own interpretations,

but we must be Awake, with capital A, meaning spiritually aware.

Because Lucifer is always lurking around, and we need to be on our guard.

 

When we live and act from this space deep within ourselves that is untouched

and unsullied by our own minds, which is the treasure in the field, it gives us 

true freedom; Jesus true God and true Man.

We begin to see the utmost importance of taking distance with our own mindset and conditioning. 

 

"He must become greater; I must become less.  

The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth 

belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes 

from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but 

no one accepts his testimony. Whoever has accepted it has certified that 

God is truthful. For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, 

for God gives the Spirit without limit.The Father loves the Son and has 

placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal 

life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains 

on them."

 

(John 3, 30-36)

 

 

We are safe with God, we do not need defensive mechanisms, 

they are blockages to His light and actions.

The defensive mechanisms are all about "saving ourselves", but

"fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; 

but rather fear Him that is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." 

(Matthew 10:28)

The times we are living in now is a logical follow up of the times 

we have lived in up until now. 

People completely under the spell of propaganda by the so called "News", 

that told us that there was a pandemic, and that we were all at risk, 

so therefore we had to stay at home, not meet with our nearest and dearest, 

because that could kill us, or if not us; them. 

School, Church, Sport; all too dangerous.

I am not denying the existence of a flu virus, that some people have died 

from, which is the case every year, and people die every second of every day,

but there has never been what we call a "pandemic".

 

In the same way as individuals copy each other,

countries, especially small countries, have a tendency 

to look up to, and admire powerful countries, 

supposing that they know better than them.

Ireland thought that adopting the policies of other countries would make 

her modern and progressive........😒

If the people of a country believes that killing living babies in the womb 

is ok, and that "gay marriage" is marriage, even though it contradicts it's 

definition, well then it was a piece of cake to convince them that there 

was a "deadly pandemic".

To not keep the contact and relationship with the Living God has it's consequences.

It activates irrational fear, and it darkens the intelligence. 

 

 

"In separating himself from the Triune God, man forgets the true order of things, for God became man so that man might become God. Indeed, the elimination of God causes great violence."  

-Cardinal Robert Sarah

 

The important steps we take

 

The most important thing I have done in my life was becoming  

a Catholic, 38 years ago.

Baptized  into the Church of Norway; an evangelical Lutheran  

denomination of Protestant Christianity, 

God always fascinated me, always.

And funnily enough,the first Catholic Church I ever visited and 

prayed in, was the grotto of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.  

My faith was born in the place where Jesus was born....    😃

This only recently struck me, as I was reflecting on the journey that 

led to my entry into the Holy Catholic Church. 

As I used to accompany my husband, who was a practicing catholic,  

"born into" the Church, I knew instinctively that what was happening 

at Mass had to do with me personally, and that it was very important.  

I wanted to become a Catholic, nobody asked me to. 

 

I loved the Word of God. But it was when things went wrong

in my life, when I could not figure out a way out of it, that I 

began to see His hand, because I learned to surrender, to trust. 

Nothing academic about that, completely real, my life on the line.

I learned to say in every situation: 

"Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything." 

"I depend on you for everything" 

Like that I was able to stop sabotaging Him by my own efforts,

which I knew in any case were useless. 

I became free from myself, and at the same time I became more 

like myself than I ever had been before!

 

It is we that block God out, it is not the other way around. 

He never went away; He Is, Was, and Always Will Be, here.

Once we get a taste or a glimpse of His Power, there is no going back.

We want to draw closer all the time. 

And all our own efforts that we put in, brings little reward.

Because what He wants is us, completely.

We realize that we have to continually let go of ourselves, 

in order to give our space to Him. 

We have to be willing to let ourselves be worked over by 

Him; "let your will be done in me, not my will, Lord". 

He is already aware of our needs and desires.

And we have to stop telling Him how to do things. 

Since He created us and everything in the world, He doesn't 

need our instructions on anything!

And the strength, courage and peace He gives to people that 

really trust Him, is incredible.

  

This teaching is in complete opposition to everything 

we learn in the world.

We learn from early on that we have to try really hard, 

work really hard, make lots of efforts.

But Jesus said that His Kingdom was not of this world.

 

I learned more when I went to do retreats in 

Châteauneuf-de-Galaure in France, where the venerable 

Marthe Robin lived her life, bedridden, offering up her

suffering to God. 

She drew hundreds of thousands of people to her

bedside, they came from far in order to just talk with her.

Since her death in 1981, the numbers going there, 

has increased many times over. 

Just learning about her life, how fruitful it was, 

despite her life situation, is something that marks everyone 

that goes there.

 

Yes, becoming Catholic, and purposely wanting to grow in the 

Faith, learning, understanding, developing the Faith, has been 

the most important decision of my life. 

I love you, Jesus! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bigger picture

 

 

 

 

Just take a moment to reflect on the fact that we live 

on this round ball in infinite space. 

Who are we?

 

 The entire observable universe squeezed into one image 

looks like an eyeball. 

Atheist Forum@ForumAtheist :

CHRISTIANITY: 

Belief that one God created a universe 13.79 billion yrs old, 93 billion light yrs in diameter (1 light yr = approx.6 trillion miles), consisting of over 200 billion galaxies,each containing ave.of 200 billion stars,only to have a personal relationship with you.

 

Truth resides in our hearts

 Matthew 15, 10-20

 "Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 

What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, 

but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”

Then the disciples came to him and asked, 

“Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will 

be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. 

If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”

“Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them.  

“Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and 

then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth 

come from the heart, and these defile them.  

For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, 

theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with 

unwashed hands does not defile them.”

 

The hidden motivations, the unspoken secret agendas of our heart, 

it is those that defiles us.

We get so used to doing that, in order to "survive" in this world, 

that it becomes normal, and we often don't even recognize when we 

tell lies.

As long as we stay out of trouble with the law, we might think that 

we are ok people. 

The mind's capacity to deceive itself is enorm, it creates an image of 

itself that does not correspond to reality and facts, it is an illusion.

But this discrepancy is easily observed by others, and that is why 

we have to always look at our own faults and work hard to root them out, 

instead of concentrating on the others. 

So, to be seen to be "good and decent" to the outside world, by following

rituals that classifies us as one thing or another, they are not going to 

make any difference to the quality of our souls, if they serve as a cover up  

for dishonest and secret intents of our hearts.

And those outwardly actions can never be a substitute for authenticity, 

which comes from inside the person's heart.

It is a waste of time, we are only creating more illusion.

Like all those people that used to go to Mass because it was expected of 

them by their culture, they had to be seen to go, but their hearts was not 

really in it, so the minute they found a reason not to go, they stopped.

 

God created us to be whole; meaning holy; every part of us

tied together, united, integrated, one.   Heart, Body, Soul.

 

The experimental mRNA gene therapy vaccine

 

The aspect of the government's vaccination program that bothers me is 

their efforts of making it mandatory, which is against our 

human rights. 

They can say that we have the right to refuse, and at the 

same time make it obligatory to be vaccinated in order to work and to travel.

Every day we read about the vaccination certificate we will need in order to 

go abroad. 

This psychological method of making people "cave in",

especially after having being locked down for 11 months, is evil.

Apart from the many doctors, microbiologists and immunologists 

who has explained the risks implicated with the mRNA therapy, and also

it's inefficiency in dealing with the "pandemic", (the numbers that dies

soon after having received the "vaccine" are not made officially known), 

what really bothers me the most 

is the aspect of coercion, pressure and force.  

It is that that reveals that what is going on is  evil. 

I decline to be injected with a new untested product, against

a virus from which a normal immune system fights off by itself.

The argument that I am obliged to do it to protect "others"; 

those with a weaker immune system, who already suffers from serious 

conditions, who are more likely to die from the virus, does not make sense;

people who are weak needs to be protected, but not by

me taking the vaccine.

We are all going to die, every one of us. 

But I can not knowingly and willingly accept something unknown and 

potentially harmful, that might take some time to manifest it's consequences, 

to enter my body, it is a sin against God who made me, and a sin against

myself, as I am responsible for my body.

The propaganda machine that pours out "important information" every day

about this "pandemic" still has a good number of people convinced,

because, in general, people believe what they hear.

This product that they call a vaccine, is made from cells from aborted babies,

taking the vaccine with this knowledge does make you participants in abortions.

Because if you believe that taking the vaccine is going to give you something, 

like a protection from illness, then you are willing to profit from abortion.  

 

The culture of death reigns over most of our planet, 

abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide.

The way they are ploughing ahead with this vaccine program, totally 

deaf to people's outcry against it, shows that they are not worried 

about the consequences.

They do not care. 

 

 

 

So where are we today?

 

The Second Vatican Council was about bringing  the Catholic 

Church "into the world", 

but Jesus told us precisely  that his "kingdom is not of this world" 

(John 18,36),

and that the only way for the Kingdom of Heaven to come upon 

earth is by following Him and not the world.

It is something that needs to operate personally within each person, 

in community, practiced and lived in the world, but which is not

from the world, it is from God.

 

With the Vatican 2 approach it is easy to see and understand why 

the Church is now almost in ruin.

They started with their efforts to try and make the 

Church "attractive", more "accessible", in short, they wanted to make it 

"easier". 

But the Truth cannot be modified, it just is, it is objective.

 

The last 50 years in the Catholic Church has seen a shifting focus to 

"getting along" with the other christian churches;

ecumenism, and of course, today; with all the world religions,

thus completely conforming to the world and it's way, with the 

last nail in the coffin by the Pope's human fraternity document.

 

The evidence is there for all to see; Catholics and even Catholic priests 

who approve of abortion, transgenderism, same sex marriage.... well,

even the Pope is in favour of gay marriage, and is backing up the globalist 

governments who are trying to force-vaccinate us with a vaccine made of 

aborted babies cells which ought to render it totally immoral and unacceptable 

to anyone who is against abortion, not only Catholics.  

In addition, these vaccines are very questionable with regard 

to their safety to our health and even their efficiency.against covid.  

 

We are not dealing with an "evolving" church, 

we are dealing with a church that are no longer faithful to Christ 

at the most fundamental level; the level of Life.

 

The Irish bishops and all the bishops of the Church ought to have been 

fighting day and night, to keep the churches open to celebrate the Holy 

Sacrifice of the Mass with  the public. 

It is their job. It is the least we should expect from them.

Instead they collaborate with the state tyranny, they are telling us 

that it is true that there is a dangerous virus out there that makes it 

dangerous to go to Mass.  

It is sickening. 

Please wake up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trust God, not men.

This is a spiritual battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil.

We cannot do anything to wake people up if they are determined to stay asleep. 

The catastrophic state of the Catholic Church today, where the official line taken 

on the morality of the covid vaccines which are all made of stem cells of aborted babies, 

is that it is morally acceptable, "because it happened in the past and it cannot be undone 

and therefore taking the vaccine does not support abortion."(!) 

 One Irish catholic journalist; David Quinn, said in a recent interview that it was 

comparable to the moral dilemma of whether one should walk over a bridge that had been 

built by slaves, that by knowing this and still deciding to use the bridge does not mean that 

one supports slavery! 

What a comparison..... 

This completely rotten argument is yet another aspect that reveals how corrupt the Church 

is, how she has been infiltrated by the enemy. 

Few are the brave priests who still teaches the truth, the truth being black and white.  

In addition to the fact that the vaccines are made from cells of aborted babies and despite 

the fact that the vaccines also presents great question marks regarding their safety, 

described by many eminent doctors and immunologists, one among them being 

Irish Professor Dolores Cahill, the Pope says we are morally obliged to take the vaccine! 

We know that today it has gone so far that there are many within the Church who are in 

favour of abortion, including priests and religious. 

There are many who do not believe in the Sacraments for what they are, 

for them it is about family traditions, mere symbols. 

There are Ministers of the Eucharist who do not believe that the Host is truly and really 

the Body of Christ, they think it is just another symbol. 

 

God The Father, 

God The Son, 

God The Holy Spirit;

 Holy Trinity, 

cast out these demons that has taken possession of your Church, 

renew her with holy priests and holy bishops. 

Amen. 

 

 

 

Restrictions and graces

This time of restrictions and deprivation of our most basic human rights, should not be wasted, because it is ideal for finding The Life that lies behind. What is left when everything else is stripped away, everything that keeps us busy, and everything which occupies our attention on a daily basis.            Because it is about paying attention and about awareness. Loss of awareness of the existence of God brings about, first of all, a darkening, a lowering, of the intelligence. The person can not see, he is blind. The ability to judge and assess, and logic, is affected. Common sense is absent. In Ireland the government deemed the celebration of the Mass too dangerous and banned it, despite the Mass being extremely well supervised, with regard to the guidelines. They were safe. But the government decided however to allow the churches to stay open to the public to enter to pray during the day, when there are no one to monitor and implement the restrictions. So people enter without masks, they sit where they want, etc. The Irish government, who hates the Church, has outdone the old enemy; Britain, in their efforts to destroy the faith in the Irish state. And in making the celebration of the Mass (with a congregation) illegal, with the risk of prison for priests who do so, they deny Catholics our daily bread: the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. But the people of God,  who are close to Him, trust that He will find a way to feed his flock without breaking the rules of Cesar. Today I was at Exposition of the Blessed Sacrement in a Church. After the priest had retired it, he offered the people present Holy Communion. The church was full. Thank you Jesus, for feeding me today.

To My friend Marie Downey

 

Your requiem Mass is just over, Marie.

It was beautiful, Marie; beautiful homily by a beautiful priest, 

and a dignified reading of the Prayers of the Faithful, 

by one of the two nieces that you loved so much.

Thank you Marie. For your friendship, love, support; 

all of which came straight from your heart, you succeeded

in doing something that is very rare; you showed me God, 

you transmitted His love, His true love you poured into

my heart. By your true and living faith in Jesus, His Only Son

you supported and strengthened my faith in Him also, 

so that I could dare to let go of myself and trust only in Him. 

When you needed to be left alone by everybody, 

I think I did, at some level, understand.

The wound of rejection at the start of a child's life, is deep.

One of the first things you told me about yourself was the hurt

of rejection you felt as you learned from your mother that you 

had been adopted. What you were left with was the conviction

that your biological mother did not want you since she gave you away.

Despite the good family you were adopted into, a family which you 

loved and respected, you still struggled with  feelings of not being 

worthy of love,

(the child in you reasoned like how else could your 

biological mother have just given you away?)

all your life.

 

And then when your husband Paul died so tragically, after only a 

few short years of marriage, you felt again that you must not be

someone worth loving, since the closest people in your life; 

your biological mother and father, and then your spouse, just left you. 

I remember you told me that you became angry with God, 

it was Finbar, Finbar, who was so perceptive, who asked you once, 

in Medugorje, if you were angry with God, and you said yes.

The wounds of rejection; and in particular the one derived from the 

primary relation; the one to our biological mother,

I understand it, because I also suffered from it. It is imprinted on a child's soul.

It is so strong that it motivates a person's actions, decisions and behavior, 

even as adults and often for the rest of their life.

It becomes the filter through which we interpret subsequent events, they are 

seen through this perception of being rejected; again and again.

It is strong. And it is false, a lie.

You were loved, Marie! 

People loved you for who you were, so lively and cheeky, so much fun, and more 

importantly, so loving and caring. 

You touched people's heart and lives in a way that few people do. 

You touched the heart of the priest who celebrated your requiem Mass while ago,

and he only met you once!

The people that loved you most wanted to protect you from more grief 

and pain when they told you to be careful. 

There was no rejection, there was love.

But you interpreted that as being rejected once again; you told me 

that nobody wanted you to be happy, not Finbar, not your parents, nobody, 

but the truth is that everybody wanted you to be happy!

But this psychological trigger was too strong.

In listening to the homily of the priest this morning, to whom you made your 

last confession and to whom you poured out your heart of your inner conflict,

you must have finally realized this.

Perceived or real rejection by others can often lead to self rejection.

That is the real content and meaning of suicide.

But nobody is judging you Marie, nobody. 

God only, and He knows the love you spread here on earth.

So many people in the Catholic Church, which is the only Church that has the full 

truth about God and on how to be reunited with Him, are unable to bring others 

into the Church because of their lack of genuine and pure love in their relationships 

with others, even though their words are correct, they are often conveyed in a 

cold and dry way. Many even drive people out this way.

 

"If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, 

and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing"

 (1 Corinthians 13:2)

 

God Is Love

^"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been 

born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, 

because God is love."

 (1 John 4:7-8)

 And there Marie, you were a success.

Paradoxically, you yourself had arrived at this deep connection with God through the pain and 

grief suffered by the loss of your husband Paul. Our crosses brings us to True Life.

Thank you for your friendship, Marie. 

May you Rest In The Peace of God. 

 

The Mystery of Christmas

 

 

 

 The Mystery of Christmas, 

when The Word became flesh, 

when God allowed Himself, 

lowered Himself, 

to be born amongst us as little human  being, 

A Baby!

 

When I was young I thought the whole Christianity thing was largely uninteresting and for old, simple, uneducated, boring and narrow minded people, a thing of the past, also because of all the horrible 

atrocities and stupid actions, carried out in it's name. 

I said: well if that is what Christianity is all about, I am not interested.

But that is not what it is about, we should not look at other people and 

imitate them, or believe that what they are saying or doing is necessarily 

right or good, 

we should only trust in God, through his only son Jesus; 

true God and true Man.

When we get to know Jesus, a personal relationship with God Himself is created. And although God is neither male nor female, He is at the same time both.

In the Catholic faith we have God as Father; The Principle,

Jesus as Saviour; Brother and Friend, 

The Holy Spirit to illuminate and strengthen us, 

and Mary, the Mother Of God, who, like all good mothers, is always 

present to us; her children, to protect, guide and intercede for us.

  

The entire setting, and all the aspects of the Christmas story are

interesting and fascinating; 

Here we have a young girl; Mary, around 14-16 years old, 

unmarried and pregnant, 

and Joseph, a much older man, a good man, who agreed to marry her, 

even though the child she was carrying was not his.

In carrying out their civic duty in regard to the census that took place, 

they had to go to the birth place of Joseph; Bethlehem, and 

when Mary started to go into labour, nobody was prepared 

to help them, they had to find shelter outside the town, in a stable, 

in the most humble and poor conditions.

Because Godliness has nothing got to do with worldly status, power or wealth.

The divinity of the God-child was recognized by everybody, 

also by King Herod, who set in motion the order of the massacre of all babies under the age of 2, in order to get rid of Him straight away, 

"to nip God in the bud". 

So Joseph took the God-child Jesus and Mary with him, as they fled to Egypt.

The drama of this happening is fascinating, and today there is 

historical and archeological evidence to support the facts of the

events, it is not a fable, a "story".

To trust that God is among us, that He is small and fragile and at the same time 

unlimited in power and love, is the essence of Christmas. 

In order to trust in Him, all we have to do is relax here and now, 

let go of our own ideas, concepts and interpretations 

(fabrications of our own minds)

always thinking and planning ahead. All we have is this moment.

 

God is present, here and now. 

 

The beyond is within our reach

 

Many people can not understand why people are still holding on to 

their faith after all the revealed scandals and corruption within the church.

It is because they cannot differentiate between the sinful actions of men; 

human beings who makes up the church, and the teaching of the Catholic 

Church; which is the truth about God. 

Because sadly there is no area or domain of earthly life that is not corrupt, 

for the simple reason that Man is fallen; corrupt.

That is why we need God. 

We do not need to look outside of ourselves; a good examination of  ourselves 

suffices to recognize that this is true.

We can't expect others to be perfect and without blemish when we ourselves 

are not.

There is only One Person who is perfect, and that is Jesus. 

He is The Truth and The Way that leads to Life.

The Life that is the objective reality beyond the falseness and delusions

of our minds, the same Source of Life that created us, what we refer to as God.

This source has never left us, it is not separate from us, it is within us.

We need to do the personal and spiritual work (usually the same thing!) to get 

back to it, to find God again.

The intricate and often cunning operations of our minds; our perceptions and 

interpretations of events are subjective and individual, and

 that is why we must not put our trust in Men, because the minds of Men are unreliable, as they are the content of our conditioning, and functions much like computers. 

After everything in this life has been taken away, there is not nothing left, 

because matter, energy, remains.

Look at the way everything has been made to function perfectly in nature, 

it proves the supreme intelligence of the creative force. 

I am bowled over by how insects live, for example. How intelligent they are.

The teaching of the Bible and the Church is a spiritual teaching that addresses 

itself to our hearts, our soul. But it is not a sentimental teaching that speaks to

our feelings or feel-good concepts.

It demands to be implemented without really understanding it, or often without 

any understanding at all, but by practicing  it, the understanding comes afterwards.

That is unacceptable to many people, and they reject it for that reason. 

To trust something that one cannot see seems ludicrous.

But personally I think it is this world that is ludicrous and crazy.
