PRAISE TO GOD

Praise the Lord our God; there is no other whom we can depend on. He heals our wounds, warms our hearts, lifts our spirits, and comforts our souls. Let us turn to Him in all occasions, to ask for help, to thank Him for our bounty and to keep us on the path to heaven. No man can do what God can, no man can be everything to us, but God is everything to everyone, everywhere. Again, all praise and thanks be to our Lord God the Father, may he be glorified by all.
 

 A FOOL’S PARADISE

 Most of us think that life’s success is to avoid sin as in the faithful obedience of the ten commandments, but there is much more than this. Some of us need to learn other things, such as self confidence, self respect, respect for others, problem solving, independence, the list goes on and on. If we learn to live not for ourselves alone, this would go a long way towards the completion of our task on earth because after all the greatest of lessons to learn is that of love. Love covers all sins and realizes our earthly mission

POWER AND CONTROL

 Man is always working towards having power over his fellowman. The highest position on earth or in a country should really be a position of service, unfortunately this is not how it is. Jesus was the highest of all creatures ever born on this earth, yet he never exerted power over his fellowman, instead he placed himself in the position of a servant to all, even the lowest of men, he proved this by dying on the cross, a malefactor’s death to prove his service to mankind. We will never on this earth meet up with anyone such a this. Mother Teresa placed herself in the position of servant to her fellowman, yet she was very powerful on this earth, everyone paid special attention to what she had to say.

The contests for power and control in the countries and in the world are never chosen to serve the people whom they are to lead. Why cannot man see that the ultimate power and glory belongs to God and we are nothing but servants at a much lower state than the greatest servant of all who is Jesus Christ.

 LET GOD JUDGE 

  It is by the grace of God that we are saved from the fires of hell and not by our own efforts. God sent his first and only son as a sacrifice for mankind, not for his friends, but for his enemies. So too, you will bring God’s truths to some of your enemies, but although they may consider themselves your enemies, they may not be enemies of God; it is for God to judge them, not you. The apostles, and Jesus himself, taught to all who would listen, they did not judge them but let God do the judging. Christ on the cross did not judge his tormentors but only asked God to forgive them, for he discerned that they had not enough knowledge of God to know whom they were crucifying, they did not understand that their life giver was their victim.. On this, the anniversary of Christ’s death for our salvation, let us rejoice that he was victorious over Lucifer and thereby set us all on the path homeward.

 MARY'S LIFE

Mary received the message from Gabriel that she would be the mother of a high spirit, but she was not told who the spirit would be.  Mary is Jesus' dual. When God created the spirits, he created them in pairs, one male to one female, so Mary is also a direct creation of God's, just as Christ is.

Who else would God choose to be the earthly mother of his first born son but his dual? Who else could He truly trust to make this sacrifice?

Jesus was the first born son of Mary on earth, but was not her only child.  Mary had other sons and daugthers, and why not? The bible mentions them in a few places.

Just imagine how difficult it was for Mary to be Jesus' mother.  She knows he is a high spirit but does not know which one, nor what his mission really is. She discovers that he is a genius; he can discuss religious matter with the leaders in the temple at the age of only twelve.  Later when he begins his teaching, she realizes that he is not teaching what she has learned; these truths are not in keeping with the teaching of the day.  How she must have worried when she observed how he was so loved by some and so hated by  others, and then she endured losing her child at a young age  by crucifixion.  By the way, she was not present at the crucifixion, what mother could live through this, Jesus had asked John to take her away.

Some religions worship Mary, and is this fne? No, if we are not to worship Jesus, then we are also not to worship Mary. God alone is to be worshipped, but we still hold Mary in great esteem for the sacrifices she made for us in assisitng Jesus in the salvation of mankind.
