Where does your loyalty lie, rest? How much loyalty are you capable of, to God, to your spouse, to your family, to your employer, to your patients or customers, to your friends? First of all, do you understand what loyalty is? Loyalty should not be based totally on your personal feeling for an individual. There are many facets to loyalty. Many times people lack loyalty unless they are feeling that they are on the receiving end. Loyalty is rarely thought of in the degree of its importance. Loyalty can be forfeited if a man is moody, egotistical, selfish, self-important, full…
View Entire Teaching“I am scared. I am frightened. I am worried. I can’t help it. I can’t face it. It’s too much. I can’t figure it out. It is impossible for me to comprehend. There are too many people involved. This is not always a healthy fear but negativeness. How many times have you leaned upon a negative position and disposition? How many times have you allowed no hope to enter your conversation, your relationship, your environment? Negativism cannot win a great war, nor can negativism correct fear, anxiety, hurt, hopelessness. A positive attitude, giving purpose, is very necessary for a healthy…
View Entire Teaching“Tomorrow I will write down everything I do. Tomorrow I will write down everything I say. Tomorrow night I will look it all over, then I will write down what example I feel I was to everyone I was with that day. I will take my actions and my words and then reflect on what impression I gave. I will look at these words again, and decide: Was every word spoken by me worthwhile? Did it have sincerity in it, respect, dignity? Did it show charity? What effect did my actions have on those I spoke to and those I…
View Entire TeachingMany times, when a person commits sin, they rationalize the act or actions, analyze the situation and evaluate its impact; also, they justify it according to their whim, their will, or their degree of moral values and moral standards. Sin is against God. Sinfulness, if it is a habit, is strictly the tool of the devil. To sin, whether it be considered a venial or mortal sin in the determination of mans thinking, is a major offense against the Will of God. God is All Purity. His Mercy is Purity; His Justice, Pure; His Love, Pure. Any act or action…
View Entire TeachingThere is nothing positive in a mystery. Mysteries are talked about, thought about, pondered over, delved into, and analyzed, theorized; then there is a certain amount of guesswork. Mystery is connected to many areas of our life. Many scenarios are written about our Justice System, revolving around a mysterious happening. The audience works hard at figuring out the plot, guessing who the villain is, and going into great detail over many other things that trigger the human mind into figuring out a mystery, always trying to find solutions to the mystery. God, Who is the Greatest Mystery of all, does…
View Entire TeachingStubbornness has a weakness in it, never builds a bridge, never was the foundation for a Saint. Stubbornness bears inflexibility, but radiates ego and self-love. Stubbornness, in any situation, if it is totally stubbornness, defeats the purpose and encourages only antagonism because of its inflexibility and its lack of strength. Men confuse stubbornness with a strong will. Men many times act in stubbornness because they are inadequate and do not know the details in what they are asked to do, in what they are involved in or what is entailed in the decision to be made, so they act in…
View Entire TeachingMan says, I love you. He means he cares more for you than he cares for other human beings, or he cares in a special way for you. The results of his love, the proof of his love, is seen only in his actions, his charity, his loyalty. Love is a very varied thing. Love can be spoken of, but if there is no action with it, it is a sterile love and could bear all the earmarks of self-love. Love walks hand in hand with respect, consideration, attentiveness, interest and charity. Many times people shout, Love thy neighbor. What…
View Entire TeachingSince the beginning of time, there has never been the same drop of water in the same place twice. The oceans move, and water, though it looks still, consistently changes, for the droplets that make up the pools or the seas or the oceans cannot stay in the same place twice. It is also this way with the clouds that pass through the sky every day; never have they been exactly in the exact same form twice since the world began. As these things change in place, all the knowledge that has been transferred to the world through The Fathers…
View Entire TeachingHow do you express your Faith in God, first to God, then to those with whom you live, then to those with whom you work, then to those with whom you spend social times of life? In what way do you confirm your belief? In what manner are you example of this Faith? What requirements do you demand of yourself to show to what degree your Faith is in God? Is your Faith shown by your charity? Charity is many times talked about, requested, and used to gather funds, favors and attention. God Himself is the Greatest Dispenser of Charity…
View Entire TeachingAn expression of Faith in God deals with moral values, moral standards, moral beliefs, outwardly recognizing and outwardly acting in a manner that shows realization of what is sound, what is not sound, showing respect to God in front of other people, and in speech, and in using ones own will to follow a Spiritual life that has pure direction. Promoting Faith in God is done mostly through example; secondly, through teaching about God. Involving ones self in Faith means to be dedicated to a path of life that bears commitment of ones time, ones energies, ones talents, ones beliefs.…
View Entire TeachingAsk yourself these questions: How do I pray? What means do I use? What results do I expect? Does my mind wander? Am I example to others when I pray? Do I say prayers without thinking of what I am saying? Do I talk to God in a way that I feel comfortable about? Am I sure to show respect in my attention to Him? Do I forget to say Thank You even when I do not receive an answer to my prayer the way I wanted it to be? Do I limit God in my time with Him? There…
View Entire TeachingWhat if you could call God on the telephone? First of all, could you afford the call? It would be long-distance. What if you had to wait for Him to talk to everyone else before He took your call? What would your thoughts be while you were waiting on the line? The first one would most likely be, I cant afford this call. The next one would be, I hope I have enough time to say all I want to say. The next one would be, I wonder what He will say to me; I wonder if Ill get the…
View Entire TeachingLent is a time to promote a new beginning, and this beginning should be based on your decision to cultivate more ways to honor God, and to show God that you believe in Him, that your Faith in Him urges you to work in a dedicated way to return your Soul to Him. No human being can live forever. No human being could stand to live forever. No human being is without a certain amount of Faith. When a man says he does not believe in God, and he acts prideful in this statement, though it is distasteful to hear…
View Entire TeachingA characteristic, a trait, if it is selfish in motive, selfish in display, selfish in action, selfish in determination, selfish in purpose, has in its very existence, disaster. Many times men walk in total ego, feeling a false strength, displaying ego in their personality, their moods, their temper, and in their lack of understanding, radiating dependence rather than independence. Ego tends to create and cause, even infect, homes, schools, companies, organizations, with an improper set of standards that manufacture an inability to move, to progress, to reach a gratifying fulfillment for any of these areas. It can be compared to…
View Entire TeachingThe world is saturated with horror in the entertainment field, and in stories telling of the behavior amongst people throughout the world. What has given horror and terror such a prime spot in the public view? It is logical that this emphasis did not just crop up because of peoples imagination, but it was initiated and motivated by a force that is contrary to purity, peace and tranquility. It is also evident that this ugly satanic force is monopolizing many areas of human life through the attention it is gathering to ugliness rather than beauty, to hate rather than sincere…
View Entire Teaching“Each day during Lent, if you were asked to wear on your skin, or on your clothes, little notices of what sins you had committed that day, what reaction do you think people would have to you? This statement alone would make man shudder, but we must remember that God sees us this way. Isn’t it sad when we do not mind Him seeing us impure, unjust, disobedient, corrupt, immoral, indecent, immodest, but we do not want man to see our faults, our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities, our wickedness, our impurity? Why? It is so important that each of us begins…
View Entire TeachingHow would you change the world? Where would you begin? What action would you take? Who would you discuss it with first? How much effort on your part do you think it would take? First of all, if you thought gathering a crowd would be the first step, this would be your first mistake, for, to change the world would have to begin with yourself first. You would have to be sure what changes need to take place, how much ability you had available to you to do the job, how much knowledge you could rely upon to conquer the…
View Entire TeachingLent is a reminder to each of us, of purification, of the importance of sacrifice, and the necessity to understand that each man is accountable to God for obedience to His Ten Commandments, plus standing up to be counted for the Faith that was given. So many times Faith is taken for granted, and in spite of the logic an individual is instilled with, all ages make excuses for peer pressure, and saying it is the sign of the times when their Faith is not as it should be. Today, if men were to bend totally with the sign of…
View Entire Teaching“People are constantly making excuses for themselves and for other people, justifying wickedness, weakness, errors, infidelity, impurity, indecency, immodesty, indifference to refinement. Excuses are the greatest weakeners of human nature, because excuses do not absolve the wrong, but portray the wrong in a manner that justifies covering up the reality of what has happened, ignoring the responsibility that should be seen and acted upon. Excuse does not relieve responsibility. It shades it, it causes shadows around it, and in its own way, excuse diminishes the importance of sound fact, sound logic, responsibility. The world is full of excuses. Men lean on excuses…
View Entire TeachingBecause God created the universe, all things are in perfect balance, held together by His Power and only His Power. Because man was created by God, mans physical is a work of art, and its procreation continues to be as God first created it. Each part of mans physical has a specific worth and special purpose. Because God gave man the Ten Commandments, They have lasted three thousand years in a form so understandable and logical that man has based the laws of man on Them. Because God established and instituted Holy Mother Church in a fullness that cannot be…
