"PREPARATION FOR HOLY MASS"

Lets prepare for Holy Mass properly. This does not mean we have to kneel down and go through a formal exercise of prayers, promises and ceremony. Preparing for Holy Mass should become a part of our thinking, our attitude, our intentions, and it should become a habit. Preparing for Holy Mass is a very personal thing to each of us. It must be done concentrating on our own actions, thoughts and deeds, considering our present state of Grace, recognizing the privilege God has allowed us through Holy Mother Church, where we go to be in the Physical Presence of God…

"THE WORD IS 'DAILY' NOT TWICE A YEAR"

Holy Mother Church is more than a twice a year deal. Noticeably, Roman Catholics find that Christmas and Lent are times in which their Faith in God is expressed in attending particular ceremonies and practices that are meant to develop ones understanding and Faith in God. There is no denying that these two times of year have great meaning, great purpose, and understandably we are encouraged to participate because of the traditionalism surrounding these important events. We Roman Catholics must be aware that to be a Roman Catholic twice a year will not make us Saints. To become a Saint…

"MY SOUL HAS A NAME - MINE"

It is reassuring to know that my Soul has a name, Mine, for then I know that no one else can claim my Soul. Using an alias for my real name would also be my Souls name. All I am, all I do, all I think, all I say, reflects through my Soul and leaves a mark on my Soul. One day when my Soul will stand before God to be judged, He will immediately recognize It as my Soul, for my Soul will report to Him bearing my name. I must always remember that through my Soul I can…

"SUCCESS"

Popes, Royalty, Generals, Cardinals, are no exception to human strifes, human hurts, or the human responsibility of becoming a Saint. Nor does their position in life guarantee them Sainthood, for there is a tremendous responsibility when one is performing in tasks that govern moral issues where mankind is concerned. A title, a position, handed down through heritage carries much weight, much authority, but always great responsibility. People who bear titles do not always see the total impact of their decisions on the masses of people who are subject to them. This is sad. Authority is good when it has soundness,…

Some questions that might help you begin to develop a daily examination of personal behavior, and consequently correct any faults you might have that cause a blemish or scar on your Soul. 1. Was I considerate or do I owe an apology to someone for my behavior? 2. Was I good example to everyone I came in contact with? 3. Was I charitable when I saw the need? 4. Did I gripe unjustly? 5. Did I act selfishly? 6. Did I have an impure thought or intention? 7. Did I take something that belonged to someone else? 8. Did I…

"DECADES DON'T MAKE THE CHANGES, PEOPLE MAKE THE CHANGES"

Each decade of time has its extremes of changes. Some of these changes are not too meaningful, some change the course of History. Some change the dress codes of men and women. Some form new methods of doing things with new inventions that aid accomplishing the necessities of life with more ease. The amount of changes in each decade are numerous. The one change that affects the lives of all human beings is encompassed by the overall change in morality, values and standards men accept, men adopt, men become a part of. All through History, men have abused, misused, and…

"IT CAN BE CONQUERED"

Disappointments in life due to family, friends, environment, circumstances, a lack of opportunity to perform in a way that one would like to, and of course, personal unhappiness and disappointments about ones own looks, appearance, popularity or financial status, can be resolved and there are solutions. Disappointments should never govern ones life because many times they are triggered by petty issues, small insecurities, vague statements, indiscretion on someones part, opinion, and a lack of understanding sometimes due to an unrelated situation or idea. Disappointments should be temporary times in life for they are always conquerable when one has the will…

"NECESSITY DEMANDS THIS"

It is constantly being said, Seminaries are closing down. Reasons are given for this sad state of affairs but they cannot be termed reasonable or logical reasons. The absence of seminaries is a tragedy, a disaster for all of mankind. Such a happening, such an occurrence, such a void, permits a lack of direction to all people, a lack of stimulation and a lack of motivation to grow spiritually during such a terrible strike against Spiritual Faith in God. It is comparable to a famine, where there is no hope for life. What really caused so many young men and…

I. I Am The Lord Thy God; Thou Shalt Not Have strange gods Before Me.​ “Offenses against this Commandment omit God from our life, putting more importance to, or on, someone, something, or one’s self. Idolizing evil through commitment, ceremony, or an immoral way of life.”​ Idolizing possessions, success, or one’s own analogy of Faith, placing all things above God, The Creator of All Things. Refusing to believe in the True Existence of God as a Supreme Being and The Controller of All Things. Using one’s Spiritual Faith, dwelling on humanistic values and standards, ignoring the Supernatural Power of God.…

"WITCHCRAFT"

It is taken for granted that the opposite of God is satan, the opposite of good is evil. These words bear much weight and must never be treated lightly. It goes without saying, it is innate in man to know that where God is, there is All Good, All Purity, All Beauty, All Wisdom. Evil walks hand in hand with satan, and it is obvious that when something is evil, the lowliest form of being is involved, plus nothing has clarity or purity. The very presence emits deceit, cunningness, cruelty, sadistic behavior. Too few people care to recognize the ugliness,…

"TRUTH WEARS NO DISGUISES, IT CANNOT BE BASED ON PERSONAL OPINION OR MEN'S THEORY"

Being a Roman Catholic is a privilege and responsibility, and no matter how much formal education we have, it is necessary for us to understand properly and thoroughly the obvious information and direction we have available to us, to help us better understand how we can realize more stability in our Spiritual Life and a well-balanced Faith in God. We must value the innocence of our Faith in God that makes us feel close to Him, that gives us a feeling of dependence upon Him, and at different times, encourages us to want to know more about Him, to want…

"SLAVERY OR BRAVERY"

Men fear slavery, and yet many men subject themselves to it willingly, without question and without fear. Slavery is not a word men would use in connection with themselves, but men become slaves through their habits, their weaknesses, their indulgences, their motives, their lack of moral values, their lack of moral standards, their dependence upon what is offered to them rather than their dependence upon their Free Will to Choose. Heaven says through The Miracle Of Saint Joseph, You live in a time worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. All the evidence of such a way of life surrounds man, but…

"JUSTICE IS THE KEY"

People justify their sins, because they have reasons why they permit themselves to do things that are not out of the ordinary, but that they are aware of have a slight taint to them, causing them to have imperfections. They are even aware they are offensive to purity and/or a pure state of being. They also see that justification does not alter the seriousness of their actions, nor does their justification of their impure actions make things good, truthful, or acceptable to God. Though justification is a word that seems to make things all right, they must realize and must…

Lets talk about one type of True Mysticism, a type wherein the Instrument hears no physical sound and sees no physical vision, but both of these are performed by God, allowed by God, to the Instrument, through the Eyes and Ears of the Soul of the Instrument. There is no apparent sound to the Instruments ears, but the Instrument is aware of the deliverance of Messages, Directions, Teachings, that cannot be questioned, cannot be ignored, can, in no way, be changed. Sound, as men know sound, has a confusion to it, and sound is distracting. That is why when a…

"SANCTIMONIOUS"

So many people, in acting out their piety, their religious beliefs, their show of how they feel about prayer, can be called sanctimonious because, in reality, they do not live their prayer. Impressing others seems to be their value and standard for how their prayer is meant in the actual practice of charity, forgiveness, and following the Ten Commandments. Sometimes acknowledging only the theory makes someone sanctimonious, because it is only the theory they recognize, and in their actions they not only substantiate the theory, but they put the theory into a workable order, eliminating the practice of piety and…

"SCRUPLES"

Scruples are definable because they portray either a deep sense of guilt when there is no need for it, or no necessity, or they phantomize a ridiculous justification beyond normal means and expectations. Scruples cause concern, worry, and imaginative recourse, rather than a logical approach to a situation. Dont have scruples. Look at what you are involved in head-on. See it for what it is. Dont phantomize, imagine, or have undue anxiety regarding your way of thinking, your ability to cope with a situation, or fear that you are not adequate. Scruples are negative, and they delay your sense of…

"PENANCE - REPARATION - SAINTHOOD"

As a child we understand we must be corrected, and we must correct our misbehavior or we will be punished in some manner for this misbehavior. It is logical to recognize and to understand that any misbehavior that offends God must also carry corrective measures, and we are taught that it is up to us to use our Free Will to perform some form of penance to make reparation to God for offending Him. Both of these forms of awareness, to right and to wrong, and the importance in correcting the wrongs, are great Blessings, not just to learn, but…

"GENERAL CONFESSION"

General Confession plays a very important part in our life, that is, a General Confession in privacy between the Confessor and the individual penitent. A General Confession should cover the time between ones First Confession up to the present time, unless a General Confession was made in between this time, then the General Confession need only be remembered back to the time of the last General Confession. Why a General Confession? To confess ones sins weekly or monthly puts the emphasis on what comes to mind immediately as offenses to God and against God, but a General Confession based on…

"SORROW"

“True sorrow should be recognized for what it is, not what we think it is. Sorrow is not always a ‘state of feeling’ emotion, depression, or sadness. Sorrow can be a ‘state of recognizing’ mistakes, errors, hurts, mishaps, losses to one’s self or to someone else. Sorrow for one’s sins should be understood to be a necessary step to avoiding any repeating of the same offenses against God. We should always ask forgiveness for our offending God in any way. Man expects us to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ ‘Excuse me.’ Is not God more worthy than man to hear us say,…

Let us, you and I, talk about your Soul. What part does your Soul play in your daily living? What part does your Soul play in your Spiritual life? Your Soul is a Portion of God that contains the Light of Faith in you, a Light of Understanding that gives dignity to human beings, the Light of Reason that points to the logic of all things. Your Soul is in Close Union with The Holy Spirit of God. It is more than a union of Two Spirits, it is a Portion of God united with Him in all things. Too…
