The personal relationship with God

The Personal Relationship with God

To have Faith, is to have a personal relationship with God. The topic is very ample; we can talk from the historical point of view, but what is most relevant here, without subtracting importance to the past, is its meaning in all its dimension, which is and will always be, the vision of God, for us, as individuals, family and society. The topic on Faith must not be simplistic. If I believe that God exists, that is good, but if I don’t do anything, then, is very bad. Since knowing that Truth exists, is supposed to take me to search, know, interpret and learn about it, otherwise my knowledge would be too loose. I can pronounce and repeat the name of God, many times, but if I don’t feel Him in my heart, then, I am not true but I will be ignoring the principles of Faith, in a deliberate way .
Which means, not only to love and to believe in theory, but practicing, to accomplish the effective conversion of faith. How to have more faith? The person who has faith, appreciates, respects, honors and manifests it; it is a gift, given by spiritual virtue and the one who has it, knows in a positive, absolute way, that God loves and knows him and that God is just and true. And with this knowledge, he treasures faith and practices in a very active way – by thought and action- the laws and commandments of God, based on the purity of Love.
The key to growth is found here. Since man can only grow, by making progress in his beliefs, because faith is the active Love of God, the presence of His Word and it is a daily inspiration. By acceptance and knowledge, faith will grow in the Love expressed with solidarity to the human family
as universal service.

Faith

Faith is a fundamental and primordial mystery.
But isn’t the night as well ?
She appears to totally lack light.
But, she is the perfect frame,
for the resplendent and pure,
light of the stars.

The Wonderful Force

I will walk between fire and storm between death and disease. Between temptation and the hard doubt. Since, my love for You is beyond all that hurt and confusion.
Your Love will give me strength, when my breath freezes and my voice silences. You, only You will be that wonderful force which will vivify me, will take me above and in front of the all and the nothing. Until finally i will be in front of You. No distance, no limits. To surrender my being to You, my Lord and Creator. To Whom my life and all life -even before creation, belong.

Haiti, you are in our Prayers

Let us keep our brothers and sisters in Haiti in our thoughts and prayers as they are recovering from the effects of the earthquake that devastated their country. In addition to the gift of prayer, other ways in which we can offer assistance is by uniting our efforts with those of various agencies and organizations, which are already providing relief for our suffering brothers and sisters in Haiti.

The Unconditional Love

Who lives in darkness, yearns for light. Who goes to sleep with sorrows, awakens with desperation.

The human soul sometimes is too afflicted, too wounded in order to ask for help and makes her highest and last effort and surrenders to the feet of the cross.

Lord, you who suffered and suffer the pain because of Love. You who are pure and innocent and immolate yourself, please Lord, do not forget that there is a sinner in front of you who wants to change. Save me Lord and fulfill the will of Love. Take me from  the calvary to redemption and make me Lord, a new being. Give me a heart full of Love in order to better serve you and make that we now together, sinner and redeemer, embrace in the pure and unconditional Love, the Love of God, forever Lord.

 

Happy New Year 2010

Today is the last day of a year that brought joy and sadness.
Only God knows the reason of these mysteries but man has the capacity to dream about a better world. Tomorrow a window will open for all humanity. And once again, we have hope for better times and a superior life.
Let’s find in God, the renewed energy and the so much wished peace to reach each being. And certainly this will not happen by itself, let’s put our best goodwill and determination towards all humanity; understanding now, the importance of a better world. 
God has offered us so much Love! Let’s appreciate and let’s make from now on a better world for today, tomorrow and always.

How to Overcome Suffering

The answer may surprise you and you might decide not to keep reading but I would like to invite you and also to recommend to read this to the end because the first impression might not be right.

In order to overcome suffering what is needed first and is essential is to accept it and to elevate it as the incense in a temple that arises to the highest dome. And to offer it with our deepest feeling.

But what is the meaning of this? Can we tell a father or a mother to accept the death of a child?
Can we tell other persons to accept the loss of the couple, of a friend, of a pet, or our lack of health or the loss of our job or something so deep as the broken, destroyed family?

Can we take burning coals, take them to our chest or place them in our lips while saying that they are sweet as honey? How to praise suffering with acceptance?

 Now, the person who kept reading this writing is courageous, interested and profound.

Here is the explanation: Suffering, pain and sacrifice are accepted only when we place God as the unique provider of our destiny.
Dear God, I surrender my spirit in your hands, I can’t carry this load, this pain, but if this is your will, let it be, but my clamor is that you carry the wound of my heart because You only can heal my open wound, You only can quiten the hurt of my soul, You only can fill the emptiness left by the loved one and then to accept the suffering.

Thus, it is possible to recognize the facts and to understand that God has to intervene and then to get our strength in prayer.

If we choose other ways, as anger, resentment and hate, the wounds will not heal. Only God has the voice of power, that supreme authority of transforming darkness into light, of overcoming death and to have a new life. Only God can explain what is unexplainable, of giving consolation to what is inconsolable.

Dear God, I kneel in front of You, i am as dust of any insignificant path, see my anguish, loneliness and sadness, give me your presence, your consolation, your infinite and sublime love, who repairs, heals and exalts. And where there is not understanding nor compassion, please give me the sublime resignation to know that you bless what can’t be changed, and you make path of eternity out of death and you know how to bring elixir and medication to the worse conflicts.Oh All Powerful God, be the center of my life.

Suffering is a terrible experience that hits the strongest, makes plains out of mountains, dries the rivers and the seas but in God is found the strength, trust and as final recommendation, eternal life and peace are found in God.

The Eternal Reality

More than a reflection, is a prayer. More than a prayer, is spiritual communion. If we unite all these processes, we turn this into a being, which is true and real.
Time passes but the good and holy works, will stay even beyond the end of the times. Because what has been delivered to us with Love, is a full, spiritual life and nothing can kill it. I am referring to one of the aspects, of the dimension of the experience, of the spiritual life, in the work of a living faith. Another aspect is, that this realization promises and is reached when man embraces faith and also embraces the foundation, of the spiritual victory. Then, he also knows the sacrifice of Love for the realization of Truth. Because is very certain and necessary to know that there are many paths in the world, which are different and far opposites, but what is always needed is to abandon evil completely.
In these times, when humanity seems to forget the foundations of surrender, charity and sacrifice. Let’s reflect about what is essential.
Life is not a chimera. Life is, and always will be, a path of light, fraternity and surrender. Man has to walk towards eternity, by going deeper into worthy and sovereign truths. Love does not have frontiers.
Love is the only and eternal reality.

The Spiritual Awakening

The spiritual awakening is found when the present transcends its own limits and besides this, is unaffected by thought, by all those ideas that struggle and compete with each other, because there is no greatest obstacle that the unstable mind with unresolved ideas and lack of peace and harmony. When man is capable of living beyond all that enslaves his reason, is because he has been able to surrender everything, because he has transcended selfishness; he no longer wants to manipulate or been manipulated, but rather, he only wants to be free. And then he can devote himself to discover and to know the mind in its natural state, in the most perfect contemplation, because the spirit is reflected in the same way that the image of the moon is reflected over the clear water; in stillness and calm where the permanent consciousness prevails. Then, the here and now are constant, there are no longer any limits for birth, death, action, or non action. The ghosts of the mind, the non resolved things and the conflicts of the personality are left behind -as a mirage-they are no longer real.
The fight, the anguish have come to an end, and man does not longer lives or exists by his power or exposition but because he simply flows in eternity. However, to be able to realize this process, is necessary to contemplate the calm of a serene mind and the path is that way, but is not to destroy the mind, is not to fill you with fears or because it answers the call of many gods but because we rather have accepted our nature and then, we have self knowledge. And we discover without criticism, violence or frustrations; as simple creatures, inhabitants of a universe that must arrive to the communion with the knowledge, that is initiated with the freedom, in which, the mind rests in the being’s natural state, in the real present of an eternal dawn.
