Men talk about updating their religion. What they mean by this is to put their religious Faith into a category of modernization, relaxed thinking, and in a realm of immature feasibility, adjusting all portions of it to their lack of self-control and lack of self-discipline. Updating, to many people, shows a sincere lack of their true knowledge of how their religion was established, instituted, and the orthodoxy of its foundation. Updating oftentimes means new theory, new thinking, relaxed acceptance of others opinions, which eliminates the sound, logical foundation that was the stable force for this God-given religion. The religion spoken…
View Entire TeachingPiety expresses reverence, desire to show only respect in church, during private prayers, or at public devotions. Piety is necessary for purity. Piety could be termed a stepping stone to purity, for without reverence, without respect, there would be a chance of undignified attitude or response when a time for reverence or respect should be acted upon or acted in, or shown in and through example. All men should express piety when they pray. In many ways, piety says out loud, a sincere desire to extend to God personal love. True piety is not fanaticism.
View Entire TeachingDont be fooled by an emotional outburst. It most certainly does not mean that the emotion is triggered by true sensitivity to a situation. It can very easily mean self-love, a lack of self-discipline, and a purely insensitive personality, only demonstrating anger, hurt, frustration or self-pity. When people show only an emotional action or reaction, others who are involved should weigh the situation well before responding. A certain amount of emotion is necessary in life, but always remember, too much emotion rings the bell of instability. Many times etherealism works on emotionalism. To be ethereal does not necessarily mean one…
View Entire TeachingPrayer is a way of life, not just moments in life. Prayer is a composite of our actions, our thoughts, our words and our deeds. Prayer, in essence, is an expression of our Faith in God. Prayer is a reminder of our dependency upon God. Prayer is an expression of hope. Prayer is communication with God. Prayer is example. Prayer is a means to tell others what our moral values and our moral standards are. There are many ways to pray: verbally, silently, actively, spiritually. Prayer can be a commitment to a specific vocation of life. Prayer is protection, for…
View Entire TeachingWhen men are healthy, they are lucky. When men have a healthy, sound mind, they are most fortunate. When men feel refreshed spiritually, after the reception of one of Gods Sacraments, men are not just lucky nor just fortunate; they are privileged. So often men forget to say, Thank You, God. So many times so much is taken for granted and there is no reaction, response or remembrance in Who The True Giver Was And Is.
View Entire Teaching3,000 YEARS AGO God, through Moses, gave us the Ten Commandments. These Ten Commandments are every mans responsibility and privilege. For 3,000 years, all of mens laws, rules and justice structure have used These Ten Commandments as the means, formula, format and standards, from which and in which men are judged by other men. It is our duty to keep and uphold Gods Ten Commandments. Because These Ten Commandments were from God, They are indestructible, and it is because They are His that They have had the strength to be the Guidelines for all men for 3,000 years. 2,000 YEARS…
View Entire TeachingWhy have women priests when we have so many men that can serve God as God intended them to serve? Women have a special place in Gods Plan also, but it is different than a mans. Our Blessed Mother was Example, and that is for women to be the vessel of life and teach the children how to love Him and serve Him. A priests role is to provide man with The Body and Blood of Christ and protect Holy Mother Church from any invasion of satan. A womans role is to care for and prepare children for the roles…
View Entire TeachingWhy are men more comfortable with a symbol than the real thing? Is it because a symbol bears less responsibility and can diminish the risk of error? Is not a symbol so far less than reality that we cheat ourselves when we accept a symbol when we can enjoy the substance of reality? A symbol can be dealt with in a lackadaisical, indifferent way, but when we face reality, we must face it with dignity, purity and truth. This word symbol seems to help man accept other mens degenerated approach to reality. When God gave, through His Church, the reality…
View Entire Teaching“Faith is loosely spoken of and Faith is acted upon in a relaxed manner. Faith should be held dear, it should be sheltered, for in many ways our Faith in God is our foundation for Sainthood. If we are wise, we will accept our Faith as shelter. God proved His Love for shelter when He gave us the Ten Commandments, Holy Mother Church, and All the Beautiful Visions of Our Blessed Mother, with Direction in Them for our welfare, our Souls, our whole life. Shelter is important to man. In the beginning of Holy Mother Church, shelter was used for…
View Entire TeachingHave you ever thought of yourself as starving to death? There are many means to starvation, some mental, some physical, some Spiritual. Sometimes, where there appears to be a plentiful amount, there is the greatest starvation going on. Throughout the world, men have erupted with great emphasis on telling other men about Faith. In many ways these men are not qualified to distribute their opinions to the masses. Due to their lack of understanding what is best for all people, they should keep their informal religious Faith to themselves. By their great expounding on what they feel is the destiny…
View Entire Teaching“Impure thoughts, actions, deeds, are usually blamed on something else, someone else, or something totally ridiculous. What makes people blame their weaknesses on others? It is so obvious that our own impurities are totally of our own will. If we accept temptation, we must realize that temptation, wherever it comes from, is triggered in our mind and developed by our own will. We alone are to blame for our own impurities. Facts are facts. Logic is logic. Truth is truth. It is important that all men face the reality that what they do is their own decision, and they have…
View Entire Teaching“Brutality and barbarism are not things of Ancient History, but are becoming more obvious in our time than we want to think. What creates brutality and barbarism? What encourages it? What cultivates it? These questions do have answers. The first answer is immoralities, indecencies, indifference to authority, paganism, false religious beliefs, idolatry of many things other than God Himself. These things just mentioned are encouraged by the physical intake of narcotics, drugs and alcohol, that change the chemistry of the body, encouraging physical and mental imbalance; but, not to be excluded in this collection of words is egoism, selfishness, gluttony,…
View Entire Teaching“How do you feel about patriotism? Do you ever feel anything about it? Do you ever connect patriotism to your Faith in God? Do you see the value of patriotism in your life, for the good of your welfare, for the stability of your whole being? Patriotism has a very definite part in the stability of our whole way of life. True patriotism says we must be involved in the structure of our Government, in the actions of our Government, in the men of our Government. Patriotism says love for our country, for its standards, its beliefs, its values, its…
View Entire TeachingCharity is not looking down at someone, but using words or action to create or establish a solution to the situation that calls for an act of charity. Charity is putting ones self out for another person. Charity is taking time to explain. Charity is sometimes letting the other person have a chance to show their talents, ideas, worth or plans. Charity is in every era of History. Charity among men has been a necessity and privilege. Charity is one of the most abused facets of our way of life. It is often mistaken to be only in the form…
View Entire Teaching“Private devotions are important to each man’s life. They ensure him of a constant communication with God. Private devotions consist of many things: particular prayers, particular actions of charity, particular reading, particular ways to communicate with God. This is a good habit. It has stability, it has reliability, and it motivates a zeal for more closeness to God. Private devotion gives an intimacy with prayer, and in this way of praying, there are special prayers that encourage more prayer. A man who never prays is a man who never thinks of his Soul. A man who never feels the need…
View Entire TeachingWhat do you take for granted: your life, your mind, your will, your Soul, your Faith, your interests, your knowledge? Do you take it for granted that tomorrow will come? Many times men take everything for granted, putting no effort forth to make situations, places or obligations important enough to emphasize each ones particular role. Men take God for granted. Men take religion for granted. Men take each other for granted. It is time for each one making this Retreat to visualize and to concentrate on what effect taking things for granted has on each of their lives. When we…
View Entire TeachingMan must deal with daily living. He cannot bypass it nor can he eliminate it. Daily living requires mental, physical, emotional and Spiritual coordination. Whether man lives alone, or as part of a family, or in the confines of community life, there are all aspects of human behavior that must be taken into consideration. Personal habits are an important part of daily living. They require time, effort, and even consideration to carry them out effectively. A relationship with other people takes time, effort, consideration, concern, and most certainly takes charity. Each day man must deal with environment, with other peoples…
View Entire TeachingOnce again homosexuality has placed itself in the world in a position of openness and boldness. Through History there have been many times when men and women felt that self-expression was allowable to them where their physical and mental acceptances followed an unnatural course of events. At Sodom and Gomorrah, this was one of the major offenses against God. It demonstrated more than humanism. It provoked animalistic behavior and immoralities beyond the natural course. It promoted using all forms of activity that demonstrated only perversion, indecency, and abnormal actions and behavior. There is great disaster when such boldness is allowed,…
View Entire TeachingDo you recognize it as pornographic, or do you take it for granted because of the enormous volumes of it that are on TV, in books, accepted by people you know, and perhaps people you are living with? Do you sift from your daily way of life, loose conduct, suggestive pictures, intimacy exploited, crude manners, indecent plots to stories, risqu versions of daily living, improper requests which you are confronted with in your daily way of life? Where do you draw the line in your actions or reactions to what is occurring around you? Do you ask yourself how involved…
View Entire TeachingWhat amount is on the price tag where your Faith is involved? They say every man has his price. They mean this for every facet of life. Watch out! Satan is fully aware of mans actions, dependencies, weaknesses and impurities. It would be total disaster to put a price tag on ones Faith in God. Many times men bargain with other men where a decision must be made in actions that involve purity and impurity. What makes men weaken? Is it greed? Is it gluttony? Is it lust? Is it a lack of self-discipline? When there is question in mans…
