You feel pain inside, and you see a fellow human hurting.
Do you give love or hate?
Do you talk to your fellow brethren in loving way?
or
Do you talk to your fellow brethren with hurtful words?
Brothers and Sisters,
Let us not hate
Let us not hurt
Let us not loathe
Let us not war
Let us not envy
Let us not poison
Let us LOVE!!!!
Let’s open our hearts to Jesus Christ.
Lord, Bless our hearts, and enter in them.
Lord, help us heal our wounds!!
Amen

Brothers and Sisters,
I have seen and felt your love in this website. It is encouraging to share with you all, even when at times we do not agree, but that is fine to me. I am not here for you to all agree with me, but to share with all of you how I feel, and what I want to say to you all.
I believe there is always hope for us. We all have heard this many times, and sometimes we become numb to this. However, I still say there’s hope. There’s a small shining ray of light in this darkness. This darkness of […]
Your job?
Your money?
Your family?
Your friends?
Your fame?
Your reputation?
Your lovers?
…. Why are you happy or Why are you unhappy?
Thank you, Lord!.
Thank you, Father!.
Thank you, God!.
You truly are the path of happiness and joy.
I have never in my life felt more happy than now at this very moment.
The darkness of the world confuses us, and makes us pursue earthly desires… money, vanity, lust, fame, food….
Lord break our chains to these sins. We have become slowly slaves to these earthly desires. We wallow in our sins, and we rationalize to ourselves that this is the way. That such pleasures that never fill but increase our void is what is right.
Lord break our chains to these sins. Let us break free. Slaves no more […]
This prayer really touched my heart.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
Soul of Christ, Sanctify me
Body of Christ, Save me
Water from the side of Christ, Wash me
Passion of Christ, Give me strength
Hear me Jesus, Hide in my thy wounds
that I may never leave thy side
From all the Evil that surrounds me, defend me
and when the call of Death arrives, bid me come to thee
that I may praise thee with thy saints,
forever.
O Lord, my Father
Why does my heart ache?
What is this pain?
It feels like a gentle touch,
A constant reminder of
my faith and devotion towards thee.
The earthly desires are very present.
They confuse and spoil our soul.
But, what should our pursuit be?
The ever present battle of flesh and soul.
O Lord, my Father
Guide the way.
We are boats,
drifting,
straying,
caught in the currents of life.
Father,
Please be our captain.
Steer us to calm waters,
Save us from the rocks.
O Lord, my Father
You are the light in the horizon.
You are the lighthouse,
You light the way […]
God is healing my wounds. A while back at the beginning of last month, my heart was heavy, and I felt this big burden on top of it. I felt like I was lost, and that I needed to seek relief immediately. I felt like I was trapped inside a box, and the only way out was to forfeit my life. I felt like I had to end it. I did not know where to go or who to turn.
A few years ago, a friend gave me a bible. I didn’t think much of it, and I just put it somewhere on my desk. I […]
Reading the stories of some of you, and also acknowledging my own, and friends stories. It seems that the first response we give to someone in need is NO. We turn out back against those that need us, because it is “just too much trouble for us”. I think, we need to work on this. We cannot ignore family and close friends in need. I know that strangers are hard to trust, and that I understand. However, ignoring a family member that always was there for you??. That is wrong.
Today, I was talking to one of my brothers (a great friend). We shared some time after lunch talking about our faith, and praying to God.
One of the stories I shared is one that is close to my heart. A little duck was in a pond. He was surrounded by many other ducks swimming so peacefully around him. He was struggling and seeing how hard it is to stay afloat. It is not so easy to paddle to stay a float, so he decided to let go. He started drowning, and while he was looking underwater, he noticed that everyone else also was struggling to […]
Do second chances exist?
Pray for me. Pray for all of us.
Mistakes are abundant in our flawed humanity.
They say that Life is a difficult path.
You don’t choose where you are born.
You don’t choose your family.
You are fragile your first years, and most of what happens during those years stay with you.
You are taught what’s right and wrong or you find about it the hard way.
You interact with others, and you hurt them or they hurt you.
Life is indeed mysterious. Eat, Work, Live?
There’s no manual for successful life. There’s no manual for happiness.
Dear Father,
I feel hopeless, helpless, worthless. I have jeopardized my life, and most likely hurt others in the process. You know my sins quite well, and you also know my regret. I am lost. I though I was fine by myself. I though I was self sufficient and didn’t need you. I let myself fall to complete shame. I became vulnerable to the Devil’s sins.
Father, you know that I let my moral character be destroyed. I let my moral fiber to be taken. My narcissistic, and hedonistic behavior clouded my judgment. It is bad to let yourself indulge every whim. Such pleasures are temporal, and […]
Think about it. Who is really qualified to say it’s over?
