How does my nature, my personality, my disposition, my intentions, my attitudes, my actions, my example, affect the lives of everyone I come in contact with? Am I indifferent to the effect I have on other people? Do I respond critically, negatively, indifferently, when I am approached for innocent conversation or on a particular subject that I am not thinking of at that moment? Am I charitable in my approach to everyone I meet? Do I respond with dignity to their presence? Am I respectful? Do I leave others with the impression that I am a decent human being with…

Each day, each human being acts, thinks, works and performs obligations, duties, habits, necessities, and uses the time for personal needs, and personal likes and even dislikes. Everything that happens touches the Soul of each individual, because each portion, particle or minutest moment has in it a reflection of what the person is truly doing, intentionally or even unintentionally. Man, because of the brain, the intellect, the will, capabilities, abilities, bears much responsibility in the use of each of these. In outward appearance what man does is only seen, felt or reflected to the physical, mental, but in reality, everything…

A clich, Practice makes perfect has much merit to it. Repetition helps retain what it practices. Either of these can be used for extreme good or extreme bad. Practice makes perfect can be a way of life, motivating a person to strive to perfect his or her actions in becoming a Saint. Repetitiveness in practicing humility, charity and good example, can give one a sound life of fulfillment. Practice makes perfect, directed to immoral achievement, can give to an individual unhappiness, frustration, negativism and total indifference to happiness, plus a direct path to Hell.

Man uses a clock to determine the passing of minutes, hours and days. Man uses a calendar to keep track of days, weeks, months, years. In the daily hours of time men either use these hours listlessly, recklessly, sinfully or productively. Sometimes in recalling a day men will say, Im tired but I really havent done anything today. Time is a precious Gift from God. It has value and is valuable. It has reason and it has purpose. Time is not just a measure of hours, days, weeks, months or years. In time there is the privilege of fulfillment of…

A term often used by man is: You cant see the forest for the trees. This statement can be applied to much of our lives, many times in our lives. We often become so involved in one area of life that we do not give ourselves the opportunity, the chance, or the way, to see things that affect us from outside sources beyond what we are accepting as how we feel life is all about. Some people say to travel broadens their opinions, their knowledge, their ability to grow in different ways. This statement is true, but even then, many…

Dear God, I am fully aware that I could not say I am a Saint. I also could not say that knowing my habits, my behavior under encouragement to do wrong, does not always consider or even consciously fear disobeying Your Ten Commandments. I hear much from many sources about reviewing my ideas, my ideals, my intentions, my decisions and my example where my Faith in You should be my prime concern. I have no doubt that I disappoint You because I know better and I consent to weakness, temptation, and the easy path that pleases only my human nature…

Music has and had a place in all decades of time. Men, women and children have been attracted to, participated in, and have used music as a means and a measure of activity, of a social participation, and monetary gain. Music automatically sets the mood of one person or many people. Music tends to elaborate upon times of expression denoting drama, particular occasions, social involvement, and personal entertainment. Music is a talent of many people, granting them the ability to entertain in some form of music, to write music, and/or to utilize music expressing the culture of their background. Music…

Fear has its place in every human life. Logically it must be controlled for many reasons. Most fear is based upon the protection of ones body or monetary losses, but mostly physical harm rings the bell and attacks the mind, the nervous system, setting off an alarm that in every case is different, and has a different degree of action, activity, or mental strain. Few men fear the loss of their Soul, and yet this fear should never be ignored. Few men regard the Soul, the safety of It, the Purpose of It, as being More Important than life itself.…

Faith in God, without prayer, without obedience to His Ten Commandments, and without charity in our way of life, makes Faith in God not enough to become a Saint, to even save our Souls from damnation. True Faith in God must be demonstrated through all we are, all we do, and our open acts of love, justice, mercy, hope and charity to others. Faith in God cannot be a facade, it must show its value, its reality, its sincerity. Many people say, I believe in God, but it is like them saying, I believe in electricity, or I believe men…

Mans nature covers many facets throughout his life. The nature of a human being involves habits, humor, likes, dislikes, talents, moods, abilities, capabilities, motives, thirst for knowledge, acceptance of situations that may interfere with his or her ideas, vocations and/or goals connected to the interests or anticipated ideas for success.

Ones nature also radiates, generates ones Spiritual beliefs, ideals, Faith in God, and even their goals of Spiritual means. The…

How would you describe your own degree of ethics, how you apply them, and what you base them on? Many times people feel they want to deal with an ethical person, because they believe that one who has ethics is fair, just, sound, moral, and will be strong in the right convictions and decisions. All through time mankind has seen obvious ethical actions, words and example from individuals who obviously showed they were ethical through their sound example, or their speech on particular subjects. Many times men do not look at themselves through the eyes of other people, so they…

Each man, woman and child, no matter what color, no matter what race or creed, at the very moment of birth, when he or she becomes visible to the eyes of other people, many things radiate from this little human body. In many ways it would be difficult to describe, to explain, to evaluate, or even to draw a picture characterizing the multiple facets that project from this little form. Ask yourself why this happens; ask yourself how many times you have felt the true sense of an indescribable Miracle that projected human life, but also the Love of Divine…

Men observe notices that bring their attention to a happening, a ruling, a change, a warning. Such notices demand attention because they are of importance to someone, to some thing, or to some directive. Gods Ten Commandments are Notices that must be obeyed because of the nature of Them and because of from Whom They came. They are Warnings, Directives, and of course, Rules that command attention, obedience, and change in mans moral behavior. In general, notices come through many medias. It is important for us to remember Gods Ten Commandments were engraved in stone and instilled in great depth…

Secret organizations bind men and women to conditions, situations and activities that in their very secrecy are devoted to acts, actions and activities that many times promote corrupt, violent or unjust actions that the very secrecy gives protection for. Secrecy has its place in society when it deals with good, but secret organizations that are used to conceal their extreme motives bent on injustice regulated according to those in powerful positions, should be avoided because of their very demonic nature. God is no secret. God is a Pure God, constantly allowing man the privilege of using his own will to…

Wars are defined in many ways, for many reasons, but always subjected to great losses of human life. Plus the physical losses, there are always numerous mental strains that affect attitudes, motives, decisions, responsibilities, values, standards and personal relationship with other people. The effects of wars is far more extended into each individuals life because it has a tremendous effect on the morality that many times encourages disobedience to Gods Ten Commandments, forgetting obligations to God, emphasizing only the conduct necessary to fulfill the orders of sometimes very incompetent people. There have been many barbarous times in History, contrary to…

Daily living with ones own immorality, with ones own characteristics and conduct that are obviously offensive to God, as well as to man, permeates the surrounding atmosphere of the individual with an odor of deceit, injustice, indescribable ugliness laced with moodiness, many times emphasizing dominance, bullish attitudes, and even constant disrespect of other positions, opinions, actions or relationships. We generate what we are, we reflect how we think, we are example of our moral code, whether it be ethical or unethical. In reality, we are never truly hidden from other people, for either our nature or our personality speaks out…

Sodom and Gomorrah are two words that are familiar to anyone who has in any way been exposed to Bible History. The story in itself explains the terrible desecration that human beings performed to their bodies, to their minds, and ultimately to their Souls. Sodom and Gomorrah, according to History, were destroyed because of the multitude of sins against God, by allowing impurities to be the controlling acts, intentions and practices by all in these two cities. Through The Miracle Of Saint Joseph, over fifteen years ago Heaven announced that we live in a time worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.…

If man were born in the same concept as a blade of grass, a weed in the garden, a piece of wood, a drop of water, there would be a uselessness of existence. God, in His Creation of man, had Great Purpose for this ultimate form of life. Mans very natural abilities are distinct because of what they can do and the tremendous advantages that mans intellect can produce. Mans senses alone provide man with sources of protection, motivation, practical usage for personal needs, and of course, these senses control in many ways, mans ability to use his prized possession,…

The expression honor among thieves in no way justifies thievery of any kind. Gods Ten Commandments say that no man has His Consent to take from another man what is a rightful possession of another man. This Statement does not just consider monetary means, but covers the moral aspect of mans whole life, which is based on dignity, charity, self-respect, honor, virtue, kindness, Faith in God that is revealed through good example. Honor among thieves can be termed a security blanket to give them trust, false though it may be, in the strength of their association with each other. Such…

Challenges in ones time of life are extraordinary. We have at our fingertips the vast advancement of knowledge in so many fields of adventuresome challenges: science, which in itself is an unlimited field of exploration, both in the physical aspects of engineering, agriculture, and numerous others, and in the humane prospects of aiding mankind to better health, physically and mentally. There is great challenge in the deepening of ones relationship with and to God. The need for better understanding of the Greatness of God far outreaches the challenges of human relationships, because we have, through the Grace of God, been…
