"Perhaps if you have spoken these words you are unsure of the true definition of love, and perhaps have overestimated the ideal of being religiously inclined or devout. Love is many things. Love is a sharing of one's self unselfishly. Love is expressing hope in one's actions, thoughts, and deeds. Love is understanding, instead of criticism, negativism. Love is sacrifice. Love has purpose to it. True love is not always recognized because it involves so much a part of one's life. People use the word 'love' loosely. They say they love a particular sport, they love a particular home, they…
View Entire Teaching"As you design the tightrope you walk in your daily life, what material have you put into this tightrope: cotton thread? a stringy wool? cording? hemp? Will the tightrope last through the day without breakage? Have you evenly coordinated the consistency of its content? Have you chosen a material that will be strong enough to endure your mistakes of anger, your weaknesses, your selfishness, your needs, your compromises, your possessions, your possessiveness, your hopes, your dreams? Remember that the tightrope each man walks each day consists of more than material matter. It consists of one's Faith in God, one's desire…
View Entire Teaching"A person who acts like a clown is often referred to as 'a character'; this, meaning that this person has qualities that demonstrate a manner of freakish antics. Then there are others who are referred to as characters because of their methods of handling their possessions, how they wear their clothes, and the manner in which they express themselves. There are many definitions for the word 'character', not all referring to a critical form of nature or culture. Each man should look to his own character, look at its manner of communication with other people. Is it refined? Is it…

Right now in the world we are suffering from a morbid, immoral pestilence that is more dangerous than any bacteria, virus, or unknown disease could cause. Immoral pestilence in our time is rampant. It is a total decay of human dignity, human logic, and sound understanding of the Importance of God's Ten Commandments, plus His Purpose for establishing and instituting Holy Mother Church to be the ultimate expression to all mankind of Christianity. No man…

There is too much at stake, the sake of a Soul that walks with each human being in every day, in every race. I speak slowly through a voice tired from work, but ready to serve in a manner and a way of dedication and commitment Divine Way. Men call Me 'Saint'. I am alive with Divine Love and Divine Hope. I hear men pray, I answer prayers,…
View Entire Revelation"There are many misunderstandings regarding the true meaning of being civilized. People automatically accept themselves as being 'civilized' because they have the ability to read and write, they have laws to live by, and they are able to speak a language that is understandable to others. Even though many of these people act like wild animals in association with other people, demonstrating vulgar habits, immoral activities, crude, vulgar speech, and are unethical, they never consider themselves uncivilized. It is amazing how people of all races, all colors and all creeds, justify their own comfortable opinions, theories, and analyzations in how…
View Entire Teaching"Why is it so necessary for some people to look important, feel important, act important? Why is being important sometimes more important than being what you are? Every human being is important to God and to other people. It's just a matter of how one handles daily living, daily responsibilities, daily habits, daily chores, daily personal needs, daily dealings with other people, daily acts of charity, daily Spiritual acts of love. To so many people, the only way they can recognize that they look important is to be in the forefront, to be treated special, to be constantly sought out,…
View Entire Teaching"What is the difference between logical change and change for convenience? In truth, logic is the science of proof. Convenience is defined as comfort, advantage, accommodation. Holy Communion in the hand is unreasonable, illogical, and definitely a method of convenience for the clergy in spite of the important issue that Holy Communion on the tongue proves the humility of the receiver and less chance for desecration to this Precious Gift of Love, God Himself. If a priest has the lame excuse of not liking to look into the mouths of people, why should he be so repulsed by his important…
View Entire Teaching"The briar patches aren't always obvious, sticky bushes, but can be disguised as convenience, interesting, challenging, adventuresome, gainful, relaxing, hidden pleasure, shutting out personal problems, escape from responsibility, enjoyment. To tell some people that something is dangerous doesn't always alert their common sense to think about the prevailing conditions or situations, but their stubborn nature, or their innate quest to be daring, makes them the victim of their own lack of self-discipline, or lack of self-control, or even self-defiance when being told what to do. Sound reason is many times shoved aside, and weakness, ego, selfishness, 'the devil I care'…
View Entire Teaching"Perhaps this statement of how you feel about yourself is solid truth BUT you can always IMPROVE. A slight improvement each day will eventually pay dividends that no banking institution could afford. When we improve our values, our standards, our acts of charity, our behavior, our habits, our intentions, our attitudes, our caring, our sharing good things, our dignity, our respect for others and other people's things, our motives, our Faith in God, the change will be astronomical in the results that cannot help but reveal themselves. Remember, work on improvement, and change will occur."
View Entire Teaching"An act that binds the spoken or written word to a commitment to do or not do something. How many times have you honored promises you have made to God? How many times have you kept or have forgotten to keep promises to others? In a promise there is more at stake than shows: honor, decency, respect, personal pride, personal integrity, dignity, and definitely how ethical a person truly is. All that for just a promise? YES. WHY NOT? If a promise is not a binding commitment, then why even bother making it? Consequences of a promise not kept are…
View Entire Teaching"Dreamy thoughts, a fantastic idea, ridiculous fantasy, all make up the meaning of a word, condition, situation or state of mind that appeals to so many people. Sometimes such a state of living becomes so much of a habit that small or large groups of people constantly gather to just talk. Nothing is ever really accomplished, but a lot of ideas, fantasies, pass through the group. Such idle chatter may relieve one's tension momentarily, but it cannot relieve them of their responsibilities. Activity can be the greatest medicine a man can get. Activity gives strength to the mind and the…
View Entire Teaching"At the moment of our conception, we are at the post waiting for our birth so we can run the race of life. Certainly this dramatic Miracle has more Reason than our mere existence in the world for a period of time. OF COURSE IT HAS. It doesn't take a mental giant to recognize this or to realize that life has Reason, Meaning and Goal. We arrive at many new post times in our life, and each one is for a reason, time, or situation pertinent to our Salvation. We must treat it with all the enthusiasm, interest and challenge…
View Entire Teaching"The fear of being victimized in any way is a natural healthy sign and warning. Too many times though, people are unaware of being the victims of deadly, fiendish, overpowering egos, vanity, and/or other people's dominance in and over their lives. Some very definite unsuspecting methods or means to becoming a victim of other people or some thing, is to become interested or curious, and then one thing can lead to another. Social entanglements that breed permissiveness, promiscuity, lust, impure encouragement to try everything and anything that identifies itself with demonic pleasures. Games by every name that use all subject…
View Entire Teaching"I can handle it! What's life without a little touch of risqué in it? Well, the word risqué may sound deliriously exciting and tempting, but in reality, it means so much more. It means RISK. You cannot, will not, know or be able to predetermine the impact of this RISK on your mental or physical, plus the results of this shock to your Soul. It is amazing how much RISK people take when they feel the safety of the imaginary blinders they feel will automatically shut out the harmful rays of impure places, people and things that society takes for…

View Entire Teaching"All sins are serious, but many sins are mistakenly diminished because they bear the guise of merely an expression of people's nature, personality and mood." "We must take a realistic personal look at how we, in our daily life, can break God's Commandments. Perhaps we do not break These Commandments in the 'manner' of the 'one or two words' in each Commandment that states a forceful manner of action such as false gods, foul language, forgetfulness, dishonor, killing, adultery, stealing, false witness, covet, but our logic and common sense, our very intelligence in right and wrong tells us when our…
View Entire Teaching"Why did men feel this necessity? Was it to generate more leniencies in their own station of life or was it meant to modify Roman Catholicism, making it less severe and less strong? MODIFICATION many times lessens the necessary detailing, and results in a situation, a product, or an ideal, becoming ordinary in its content and total essence. When men felt that Holy Mother Church should be updated, they ventured into a modification of Its foundation, of Its structure, and of Its values to mankind. They diminished in every way the strength Holy Mother Church deserved to remain in light…
View Entire Teaching"Important events in our lives are always preceded by certain amounts of preparation. The details of these preparations are in accordance with the type of event, the involvement that is entailed in the event, and of course, the true importance this event plays in our life. In the last ten years there has been a lessened amount of Spiritual preparation for the coming of Easter which in reality is a day of celebration, a day of endearment, and a day no man should diminish in preparing for. As long as man exists upon the earth there will be the celebration…
