Blessed Mother Teresa: stories never told before... a new book about this awesome poor people lover

This is the link for the site: Blessed Mother Teresa: stories never told before...

Mother Teresa has been an example of faith and devotion to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, she loved poorest people as Jesus Himself, following His divine advice (Matthew 18, 4s):

"And so, the one who makes himself as
little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.
Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name welcomes me."


God is the source of all love, let's ask Him to make our hearts full of this love.

Amen!

Freedom of be free

Our world has too many people, and God loves particularly each one.

In God's love, we have total freedom, we can do anything, and He gave us total knowledge about our acts.

Our freedom lets mutual respect, or not: we chose, because we're free.

Now, thing about your freedom. Are you really free? Freedom implies in happiness. Are you really happy?

Happiness implies in real love. Let's read what St. Paul says about love in I Corinthians 13, 1-8:

"Though I command languages both human and angelic
-- if I speak without love,
I am no more than a gong booming
or a cymbal clashing.
And though I have the power of prophecy,
to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge,
and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains
-- if I am without love,
I am nothing.
Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess,
and even give up my body to be burned
-- if I am without love,
it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind;
love is never jealous;
love is not boastful or conceited,
it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage,
it does not take offence or store up grievances.
Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but finds its joy in the truth.
It is always ready to make allowances,
to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end.
But if there are prophecies,
they will be done away with;
if tongues, they will fall silent;
and if knowledge, it will be done away with."

Thing how St. Paul loved the people, following Jesus' example. If you don't know St. Paul's history, you can read here and here.

The Bible's book Acts of Apostles relates many things about St. Paul and his friends.

What do I have to do?

Hi everyone, today I make this question: what do you have to do?

Maybe, you work or study, but I remake the question: what do you have to do?

If I said that God's will is what you have to do? Do you believe it? Do you believe that God has plans for your life?

I say: God plans your salvation, and, more, your sanctity.

But, what does God want for me? (Is it your question now?)

Isaiah said (Isaiah 61, 1-3):

"The spirit of Lord Yahweh is on me
for Yahweh has anointed me.
He has sent me to bring the news to the afflicted,
to soothe the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to captives,
release to those in prison,
to proclaim a year of favour from Yahweh
and a day of vengeance for our God,
to comfort all who mourn (to give to Zion's mourners),
to give them for ashes a garland,
for mourning-dress, the oil of gladness, for despondency, festal attire;
and they will be called 'terebinths of saving justice',
planted by Yahweh to glorify him."

In Luke 4, 14-20, we read about Jesus:

"Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him,
returned to Galilee;
and his reputation spread throughout the countryside.
He taught in their synagogues and everyone glorified him.
He came to Nazara, where he had been brought up,
and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day as he usually did.
He stood up to read,
and they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
Unrolling the scroll he found the place where it is written:
The spirit of the Lord is on me,
for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives,
sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord.
He then rolled up the scroll,
gave it back to the assistant and sat down.
And all eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him."

God sent Jesus for save and free us. Today, we are slaves of the money, the power, the views of the others, the sins, the pleasures, and ourselves.

We should accept the salvation that Jesus gives for us.

Let's read Psalms 123:

"[Song of Ascents] I lift up my eyes to you
who are enthroned in heaven.
Just as the eyes of slaves are on their masters' hand,
or the eyes of a slave-girl on the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes are on Yahweh our God,
for him to take pity on us.
Have pity on us, Yahweh,
have pity, for we have had our full share of scorn,
more than our share of jeers from the complacent.
(Scorn is for the proud.)"

God bless you and your family in Jesus and Mary.

If you want, I can help you. We can listen what God wants for you, but you need to want it.

Archangel Michael, our defender

First, I couldn't write here before because I was in a retreat.

Now, I prayed for this blog and God said me about the archangel Michael.

In the New Testament, We read about Michael in two books:

Jude 1, 1-10:


From Jude, servant of Jesus Christ
and brother of James;
to those who are called,
to those who are dear to God the Father
and kept safe for Jesus Christ,
mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.
My dear friends, at a time when I was eagerly looking
forward to writing to you about the salvation
that we all share,
I felt that I must write to you
encouraging you to fight hard for the faith
which has been once
and for all entrusted to God's holy people.
Certain people have infiltrated among you,
who were long ago marked down
for condemnation on this account;
without any reverence
they pervert the grace of our God
to debauchery and deny all religion,
rejecting our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
I should like to remind you
-- though you have already learnt it once and for all --
that the Lord rescued the nation from Egypt,
but afterwards he still destroyed the people
who refused to believe him;
and the angels who did not keep to the authority they had,
but left their appointed sphere,
he has kept in darkness in eternal bonds
until the judgement of the great Day.
Sodom and Gomorrah, too,
and the neighbouring towns,
who with the same sexual immorality pursued unnatural lusts,
are put before us as an example
since they are paying the penalty of eternal fire.
Nevertheless, these people are doing the same:
in their delusions they not only defile their bodies
and disregard Authority,
but abuse the Glories as well.
Not even the archangel Michael,
when he was engaged in argument with the devil
about the corpse of Moses,
dared to denounce him in the language of abuse;
all he said was,
'May the Lord rebuke you.'
But these people abuse anything
they do not understand;
and the only things they do understand
-- merely by nature like unreasoning animals --
will turn out to be fatal to them.

Revelation 12, 7-9:


And now war broke out in heaven,
when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon.
The dragon fought back with his angels,
but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.
The great dragon, the primeval serpent,
known as the devil or Satan,
who had led all the world astray,
was hurled down to the earth
and his angels were hurled down with him.

Now, let's pray asking help for the archangel Michael, the Catholic Church defender (this is a free translation of the archangel Michael's pray):



Archangel Michael, defend us in the fight, defend us with your shield when the traps and wiles of the devil happen. God put him, constantly asking for Him; and you, Prince of the celestial army, for the holy power, overthrow in hell to Satan and the others evil spirits that walk in the world searching innocent souls. In name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants to talk in the internet

I was forgetting the real inspiration that I received when I created this blog.

God said me for write divine inspirations for anyone that truly doesn't know God yet.

So, I'm going to pray every day 13 (every month) for the blog's readers. What God says me, I'll write here. I'm going to ask Bible's texts for us and I need to understand the text, thus I'm going to ask the understanding too.

I ask, God bless us in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Have I ever been alone?

I asked myself: why should I be alone?

Now, I know I never was alone.

God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Saint Mary, the apostles, the other saints and the angels.
How can I be alone if they are with me every time?

Today, I remembered about my moments of solitude, when I lived alone.

My house was always crowed, but I was always alone. Nobody talked to me.

In January of 2008, I met God and I understood God preserved me of all the bad things.

In the Holy Bible, the prophets and the apostles, for example, had been alone, but God was with them.

When the apostles traveled to many places, for evangelize, many times they are alone.

When King Saul wanted to capture David, we can read (1 Samuel 18, 11 - 15):

"Saul brandished the spear;
he said, 'I will pin David to the wall!'
David evaded him twice.
Saul feared David, since Yahweh was with him
and had withdrawn from Saul.
So Saul removed him from his presence
and appointed him commander of a thousand;
he led the people on campaign.
In all his expeditions, David was successful
and Yahweh was with him.
And Saul, seeing how very successful he was,
was afraid of him."

If God is with me, then who is against me?

David was alone, and he won the King Saul and his army of one thousand.

PS.: Yahweh is the name that God chose for Himself. Yahweh means "I am".

San Francisco of Assis

I'm using a Franciscans' Tau, like the following image, since last Sunday.


I studied about it and found interesting informations.

The Tau was cited on the Holy Bible in Ezequiel 9, 1-7 (some translations shows a cross and others show a Tau):

"Then he shouted loudly for me to hear,
'The scourges of the city are approaching,
each carrying his weapon of destruction!'
Immediately six men advanced from the upper north gate,
each holding a deadly weapon.
Among them was a man dressed in linen,
with a scribe's ink-horn in his belt.
They came in and halted in front of the bronze altar.
The glory of the God of Israel
rose from above the winged creature
where it had been,
towards the threshold of the Temple.
He called to the man dressed in linen
with a scribe's ink-horn in his belt
and Yahweh said to him,
'Go all through the city,
all through Jerusalem,
and mark a cross on the foreheads of all
who grieve and lament over all the loathsome practices in it.'
I heard him say to the others,
'Follow him through the city and strike.
Not one glance of pity;
show no mercy; old men, young men, girls, children, women,
kill and exterminate them all.
But do not touch anyone with a cross on his forehead.
Begin at my sanctuary.'
So they began with the old men
who were in the Temple.
He said to them,
'Defile the Temple;
fill the courts with corpses;
then go out!'
They went out
and hacked their way through the city."

The Tau (or cross) represents the salvation of that people and the God's love for us.

God loves everybody, but many people don't match His love.

Jesus will come back and He will judge everybody with the perfect justice.

Why was Jesus crucified?

I'm happy today, here is the first comment on Catholic-Engineer. I received the comment yesterday, but I read it today.

Thank you so much Chishino, God used your comment for inspire me about this post, I ask to God that He bless you. I'm praying for you since today.

This is a great question: why was Jesus crucified?

God loves His Son, why did God do nothing?

I say God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, for any day.

Now, about the happened.

Jesus was crucified because the humanity had, and have yet, many sins.

Every sin is bad and must to be paid.

When Jesus died crucified, He paid for the sins, it's true! But we need this, if Jesus died for our sins, He had no sins, then we should be thankful.

God gave me the text, that I read (II Corinthians 1, 12):

"There is one thing that we are proud of,
namely our conscientious conviction
that we have always behaved towards everyone,
and especially towards you,
with that unalloyed holiness that comes from God,
relying not on human reasoning
but on the grace of God."

If you know why Jesus was crucified and you do wrong things yet, thus you are wasting your salvation.

Jesus went to the cross because you should have gone, but He loves you and He decided: "I'll died in your place".

The sins are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, because the Daemon is the same.

Let's pray now (this is to you, Chishino. Don't forget God loves you and He wants you love Him):

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.


Amen.

Who wrote the Holy Bible?

The Holy Bible has two parts: Old Testament and New Testament.

The Old Testament was written before 1 DC.

Each Testament has some books, like Genesis, I Samuel, II Samuel, Luke, Acts of Apostles, etc... And each book has it own history.

The books of prophets were written by the prophets, like Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Baruch, Daniel, Maccabees, etc... Other books of the Old Testament, like Genesis, was written by priests under divine inspiration.

The New Testament was written after the crucifixion and resuscitation of Jesus by the apostles, when they were full of the Holy Spirit.

Everybody who wrote the Holy Bible was under divine inspiration, and God said what He wants that was written on the text.
