Teachings

"PRAYER"

“How do I pray? What effort do I make to pray? What do I use to help me pray: books, a Rosary, the Ten Commandments, the Gospels, a breviary, prayer cards, pamphlets, or just conversation? What do I radiate when I pray: monotony, burden, lethargy, indifference, ego, sincere Faith, emotionalism, contradiction, piety, a lackadaisical manner, impudence, insincerity, just habit? Do I believe in prayer? Do I believe that prayer has worth? Do I believe that prayer is communication with God? Do I feel prayers are answered when they hold a request? Do I bargain with God when I pray to…

"ABSOLUTE REALITY"

FACING GOD one day is an absolute reality. We should prepare for it, make arrangements so we are ready when it happens. Our Faith should tell us that our behavior, our habits, our manners, our ideals, our values, our standards, our morals, our purity, will have to be accounted for at this time. This Lent is an alarm going off, alerting us to God. Common sense tells us to BE PREPARED.

"THE STAFF FOR LIFE"

A field of wheat is a joy to see, first, because it has a beauty in color and purpose. When the air is still, the wheat has no movement, and the beauty of its just being there is good to see. When the wind blows and the wheat sways, the color changes, and the action gives a beauty, drawing mans attention to the wheat even more than when the wheat is perfectly still. The field of wheat can be compared to Faith in God. It is beautiful when it is there in an obvious way. It has purpose, and it…

"HIS ULTIMATE SACRIFICE HAD GREAT PURPOSE"

“What does Lent mean to you? What effort will you make to make Lent important for you? The Great Sacrifice that was made for man will remain forever in the Substance He decreed It would be. When the people were first taught by Our Lord about the Reason for life, the Goals set for it, the Purpose of it, and the directions it was to take, These Teachings came directly from The Father’s Will for mankind. Each time He talked, Each Word He said, was to give those present hope, but also telling them that they were to pass on…

"MAKE SAINTHOOD A FAMILY PROJECT"

Family life can be a great means to becoming a Saint. First, it entails all areas of self-control, self-discipline, with many areas for acts of charity, acts of self-denial, acts of sacrifice, and opportunities for sound moral values, sound moral standards, and good example. Family life can be the foundation to give God many Saints. It is never too late to start. It is never too late to change the pattern that a family has begun in their action of Faith in God. When individuals balk at what is right, what is good, what is sound, what will benefit him…

"STATUES ARE NEEDED"

Statues of Saints are important; they remind us we must strive for Sainthood. They also show us that people just like us became Saints, people just like us walked before us with problems similar to ours, with dedication, commitment and love, giving their lives a Goal. Statues of The Saints give man stability, in that the presence of these statues are great aids for man to avoid distraction while praying. They do not replace the dignity of prayer, but help man to concentrate. Man does not pray to the statue, but uses the statue for a more devout prayer.

"A BEGINNING OF A PROMISE"

Though Lent infers and even radiates a great unhappy event, we must look at Lent as a time when we make great effort to concentrate on God, working to show Him how thankful we are for what Lent truly means. Lent is a time to imitate Our Lord in acts of sacrifice, self-denial, using these things for the good of our Soul. During Lent, if we fail to carry on, or carry through our small acts of sacrifice, we must not despair and feel we shouldnt continue. Small failures should encourage us to begin again, try harder, and strive to…

"SIN DOES EXIST"

So little emphasis has been placed on sin that men have become immune to seeing the wrong in temptation, immoral actions, indecencies, impurities. In Sodom and Gomorrah men did not just ignore good, but defied good with evil living. People became totally enveloped in sin, totally attracted to participating in acts and actions that were vile to a pure way of life. One step at a time in experiencing impurities brought men down to the level of a demon. Sodom and Gomorrah had to be destroyed. What makes anyone think in our day that Sodom and Gomorrah is not being…

"ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS"

Do I recognize sacrilege when I see it? Do I ever partake in sacrilege? What indecencies do I partake in? What indecencies are part of the pattern or habits in my life? How do I react to impurities of others? When I act impurely, what are my intentions? Do I allow my immodesty to appear that I do not see it as immodesty, and it is the other persons fault if they feel I act immodestly? Am I indifferent to others who openly commit grievous sins against God? Am I indifferent to how others sins affect me? Does my indifference…

"ARE YOU A SPIRITUAL LEPER?"

Are your sins like leprosy, worn openly, through your actions, your mood, your personality, your nature, your attitude, your habits? At what point are they contagious? At what point, if others were to see them as spots all over you, would they run from you? Not one day goes by that we do not commit at least one sin. There is so much tolerance to mans nature, mans needs, mans ego, mans weaknesses, that sin gathers much color because it is accepted in the light of all behavior patterns, methods, conditions and environment. Sin is a more serious case of…

"GOSSIP"

Gossip is never right or without sin. Gossip usually bears a certain amount of criticism and opinion, degrading to the subject or topic of discussion, that belittles, is deceitful, or creates an air of unsureness in regard to the character, the behavior, the fidelity, the dignity or the integrity of the person, place or thing. Gossip kills the morale of anyone who partakes in it or is the victim of it. Gossip can become a habit based on jealousy, ego, immaturity, cunningness and irresponsibility.

"HOMOSEXUALITY"

Homosexuality is not justifiable because men want to accept it. This does not make it right in the Eyes of God. Homosexuality caters to an unhealthy way of life, averting ones own responsibilities to a manner of life that eliminates the family standard set by God Himself for the privilege of procreation of life. Those involved in homosexuality are striving to rationalize their unstable, irresponsible acceptance of how they want to live with other people. There is great danger in many areas of homosexuality even though, at this time, so many involved in this are expressing a boldness, depicting a…

"PORNOGRAPHY - MUCK"

There are many traps where pornography is concerned. The traps are not obvious until it is too late. They can be considered briar patches of curiosity, or carelessness in moral standards and values. Pornography is available in many types, areas, forms and degrees. Whether it is hard pornography or the suggestion of it, it bears diabolical pursuit to draw man from decency into indecency. Pornography touches all ages. No age is exempt. Those who deal in pornography use it for their own monetary measures or to control other people, or because it is a way of life that they feel…

"THE 'LIGHT' THROUGH REPETITION"

Very often a situation, a circumstance, an involvement, a prediction, an occurrence, just registers to us as something taking place, something for us to learn, something that we are a part of, something that we can have an opinion on, something that we automatically know is important, something that we feel has impact, something that we feel will affect our life in some way, some manner, some form. The awareness of it is there, but the true depth of what is happening, or has happened, does not sink in to full understanding or true realization, or full comprehension of the…

"PRAYER FOR PURITY"

Dear God, help me to think pure and act in only pure ways.Give me the Spiritual strength to sincerely commend my whole life to serving You. Help me to always be in a state of Your Grace.Help me to live offering everything to You for the benefit of my Soul. Help me to always remember Your Will for me, so in all I am and all I do, I must keep Sainthood My Goal. Amen.

"HOLY WEEK"

It is a must that we take time during Holy Week to honor God and re-establish our Faith in God. Each Lent is a time to re-establish our values and our standards, also to re-evaluate our respect for Who God Is, and why we were born. Also, Holy Week, through its very existence, teaches us that through the Teachings that Christ gave to His Disciples and to His Apostles, we, two thousand years later, base our religious beliefs upon these directions, these standards and these responsibilities that were dispensed by others so we could follow His Direction in our time.…

To All My Children: I Am a Just God. I Am a Merciful God. I Am a God of Hope. In My Justice, I will judge you according to My Standards of Purity. Do not forget, I set the standards through My Commandments. You have Them. You have been taught Them and the full meaning of each of Them. Are you upholding Them as your Code of Life, as your format of decision making in all things you do, say, and think? If so, you have a good start to becoming a Saint. If you are setting These Ten Commandments…

"SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT"

Have you ever really thought about God saying,I condemn you to Hell for All Eternity? He very well could, you know, and you would have no one to blame but yourself.
