"POVERTY"

What does poverty mean to you? What effect does poverty have on your life, personally or through others you know or are aware of? Poverty is not exclusive for, or to, a certain race of people. Poverty has many facets and degrees in awareness to it, acceptance of it, and areas in which it prevails. Poverty is not just class determined or class conscious. Do you accept poverty in any areas of its real existence? Poverty is as real as the earth we live on. Poverty can be self-imposed. Sometimes it is used as a crutch. Poverty can be a…

"CHARITY"

Charity is like a diamond. If it is in the rough it has no beauty, and in many ways, has no usefulness. But charity, when it is cut to show all the facets of it, covers every facet of life men can reach out to, partake in, become involved with, and transfer hope through. Charity is oftentimes misunderstood. Charity, to some people, is giving, and yet for something in return. Their charity demands to be remembered. Graceful charity is a charity when circumstances call for it. It is an acceptable form of sharing, giving, and reciprocation in thanks or thankfulness.…

“There are unlimited approaches to everything we do in life. Because of this, we have learned that order to things gives strength to them. To cross the street, we can run, walk, skip, hop, drive, ride a bike, jump; and there are other ways. To eat our meal, we can eat with our fingers, utensils, or just let it slide into our mouths by tilting a dish or a cup. We can even be fed intravenously, and of course, there are other ways. When it comes to our dress, we have a choice in what we can wear, and we…

"TIME"

“I woke up this morning.  I looked out the window and I realized I had a very special Gift from God.  I had time.  I thought about the time I had.  I thought about the things I had to do.  I thought about the energy I would need and I thought about how I would use the time to prepare myself to do the things I felt had to be done by me.  Subconsciously, I guess I knew that in the hours of light to darkness I would not find enough time to do all the things that would please me. The day is gone, and…

"HOLY MASS"

When Our Lord instituted Holy Mother Church, He created a format at the Last Supper of extending to the Apostles with Him, the formula of bread and wine that would have great meaning all through time. He taught them about the Sacrifice that was to be made so that this Act of Change would have a soundness to It and a foundation for the Church that men were to follow in Faith. He had taught them extensively in many areas, on many things, regarding the need for people to learn about the Purpose of being a human being. He taught…

Men talk about the extraordinary measures God took at the acceptance meeting of Joseph and Mary. History tells us the staff bore lilies. Would not such a phenomenal act denote, designate and confirm, not just the purity of a human life, but the necessary choice because of extreme reasonings, unfamiliar to man? Men shout about being guided by The Holy Spirit, that The Holy Spirit guides the men in the Church, that it is through the Guidance, Direction of The Holy Spirit that decisions are made from the Chair in the Vatican. It seems such clear logic that if men…

"RESPECT - AN IMPORTANT INGREDIENT OF LIFE"

The one important aspect of life that was the cause of the terrible happenings in Sodom and Gomorrah was a lack of respect. Respect is important to man because without it, we find it easy to sin against Gods Ten Commandments. This small word affects our lives in many ways. Our respect for God first, then each other, has a stability, a strength, that acknowledges decency, dignity and integrity. Sound respect for our physical, our mental, our Spiritual, guides our path to sincerity, self-discipline, self-control. Respect instills and motivates honor. It cultivates a good relationship and it gives dependability to…

"STATUES"

Why are statues important? Why are pictures of Saints important? Why do we need them? What purpose do these have in our lives? What will it do to our Spiritual growth if we eliminate all forms of reminders to pray? Are we so God-oriented that we need nothing specific to alert us to the need of prayer? Do we look at all things surrounding us and all things we have as God-given, reminding us to say Thank You to Him? Without encouragement of some kind, do we remember The Saints in Heaven? Do we remember prayer? Have we, in this…

"PROTECTION"

There have always been evidences that God uses protective measures against mishap, wrongdoings and harmful things. The very fact that down through time we have been told about the Angels in Heaven, and it has been elaborated upon how Saint Michael guards Heaven; whether Heaven is in the need of guards or not, it shows us the Protectiveness of God. In Creation, the balance God so obviously put to all things shows protection for all things. Balance is definitely a protective necessity. Our Guardian Angel is a Protective Measure in more ways than we can understand. Our will is a…

"START A HABIT, EXAMINE YOUR CONSCIENCE THREE TIMES A DAY"

It is easy to learn this habit and easier to put it into practice if it is a habit. Examining ones conscience can be done while walking, sitting, eating, resting, driving the car. There are no set rules, no set place, no set conditions, no set prayers; just taking each Commandment, checking it out for sins against it. After a given time, with this habit, you will find that there is a feeling of progress, a feeling of growing in Faith, a feeling of better understanding why you were born, a feeling of closeness to God, and a feeling of…

"MEDITATION"

There is a great surge toward men learning how to meditate. Meditation most certainly has advantages; but, in the degree, the manner, and for the purposes this practice is being motivated, instructed in and set up as a development for personal mental powers beyond the normal capacity of man, it encourages reaching out for great Spiritual contacts, giving a context of ideology. The True Church that God instituted for our mental, physical and Spiritual strength and growth, has every measure for human development in It that man needs, eliminating a fanatical, ethereal approach, so that man will never become unstable…

"MODERN CHRISTIANITY?????"

“What happened to the decency, the moral standards that were so much more evident in times of True Christianity? Men, in these days, are using Christianity as a means to get other people to donate monies, to follow in their personal thinking, their personal values, their personal standards, their personal opinions, their righteous evaluations of Christian beliefs, even to the point that paganistic values are evident, personal gain obvious, false prophecy in its entirety. When a man tells you he can cure you of mental illness, physical ailments, physical incapacities, it is his first lie to you. True Christianity was…

"M U T I N Y"

Is mutiny just a hazard aboard a ship? Does mutiny not wind its way through the Roman Catholics, in their acceptance of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement; also, their allowing the diminishing of the Priesthood, plus the desecration permitted to Holy Mother Church? There is no better word to describe this time in which we live. It is a time of mutiny. Mutiny begins with the personal opinions in developing untruths, which is the definition for heresy, coordinated with irrational evaluations on given subjects. Mutiny rarely has a sound foundation. Mutiny is a harsh word and a word not usually…

"IMMORALITY SPELLS DECAY"

This type of decay makes people appear strong because they dare to do what they are subjected to, or want to do, but in reality, immorality makes people (even the aggressor) vulnerable to despair, unnatural involvements, dependent on others. Immorality is a depressant, both for the one accepting it and for those looking on. The vast amount of immorality today is causing a degenerate society. Immorality forces people into a substandard opinion of values, making them accept a vile, contemptible, inadequate value and standard for their physical, mental and Spiritual life. Sound moral standards and values have a feeling of…

"E G O"

The man says, I am humble. What hes really saying is that he feels he is meek, gracious, and subdued. In reality, humility is an outward expression, sign and action of service, giving strength, hope, integrity and Faith to others. Humility is kindness, sincerity, caring, and coping with places, people and situations, realizing the needs of others, not telling how perfect ones self is, or saying how important I feel or am.

"STOP ACTING AS THOUGH GOD IS HUMAN"

God does not have habits, imagination, enthusiasm, fears, excuses, desires, propositions, failures, mishaps, interests, talents, illnesses, ambitions, inhibitions, perception, limits, appetites, selfishness, opinions, manners, mistakes. God does not have human deficiencies or human degrees of the human life. God is Creativity. God is Wisdom. God is the Supreme Being and bears a degree of Magnitude in All Greatness that no man could pinpoint, determine or theorize. God is Immortal. God is Infinite. God is All Powerful. In our Faith, we must recognize Gods Supremacy and respect our Faith in Him, knowing that our Faith in Him stemmed from His Love…

"WHY?"

Why is it so easy for man to be practical, and oftentimes illogical? Why is it so easy for man to accept immorality and not fight for morality? Why is it so difficult to impress men with truth, when it is so easy to impress men with fantasy, myth, legend and theory? Why does man, in all vocations of life, follow a formula that other men force down their throats, such as brainwashing, sensitivity programs, immoral gatherings, indecencies, promiscuities, indifference to moral values and sound moral standards? Why do men gather to meet in groups that are thought to be…

“Before we lay our head we should say: ‘Have I offended You, God, today, or have I caused anyone else to offend You, by my attitude or any other thing that I might have done?’”

"LOVING GOD"

Let each of us ask ourselves a very important question: How much do I truly love God? Each of us would answer this question, relating to our own habits, background, environment, needs, hopes, desires and Faith. Some of us would preempt Faith and place all the emphasis on habit and environment. In truth, these two things, plus background, have a tremendous effect on our love for God. As we read stories about men who, we are told, performed great acts of love in Gods Name, we sometimes find that the stories surrounding these men take on great meaning in our…

"STOP BEING SO TOLERANT"

Stop being so tolerant of so many wrong things happening and being accepted. Tolerance bespeaks compromise, condoning, acceptance, indifference, whatever, weakness, not caring, irresponsibility. Each of us who believe in the Ten Commandments have the responsibility to care about what is happening, what is being accepted, what standards for life are being set forth as criteria, and most of all, what is happening in Holy Mother Church. Remember, change can be good and necessary, but never when it diminishes, belittles, or desecrates the Beauty, Purpose, Dignity, Reason and Soundness of how God has set up the Teaching and Format He…
