"In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him. What has come into being in him was life, life that was the light of men; and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it." Jo 1, 1-5
Jesus lives forever
"I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me." Gl 2, 20.

Come home (legendas em português)
A man is in a hole.
Who's the man?
What's the hole?
Who tried to help the man?
Who really saved the man?
Just one is the way.
Just one died for you don't die.
Just one loves you and holds you if you let He does it.
Come to the light, be free, happy and saved in Jesus Christ.

One priest more...
Read this. Now, think: will the news talk about Father Thomas Remedios Fernandes?
He's a real priest, who loves more his sheep than himself.
Maybe, people will forget him, but God never will forget what Father Thomas Remedios Fernandes did.
This is our hope, people usually prefer to see bad things, but God always loves good things, and He's our Salvation.
Public opinion is important, God's opinion is all.
Public judgment is hard, God's judgment is forever.
Jesus and St. Peter talked like this (John 21, 15-17):
Priests who don't help Jesus' sheep will be judged by Jesus (Matthew 13, 36-42).
Jesus, Son of God, have us mercy.

Jesus and St. Peter talked like this (John 21, 15-17):
"When they had eaten,
Jesus said to Simon Peter,
'Simon son of John,
do you love me more than these others do?'
He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.'
Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'
A second time he said to him,
'Simon son of John, do you love me?'
He replied, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.'
Jesus said to him, 'Look after my sheep.'
Then he said to him a third time,
'Simon son of John, do you love me?'
Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time,
'Do you love me?'
and said,
'Lord, you know everything;
you know I love you.'
Jesus said to him,
'Feed my sheep."
Jesus said to Simon Peter,
'Simon son of John,
do you love me more than these others do?'
He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.'
Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'
A second time he said to him,
'Simon son of John, do you love me?'

and said,
'Lord, you know everything;
you know I love you.'
Jesus said to him,
'Feed my sheep."
Priests who don't help Jesus' sheep will be judged by Jesus (Matthew 13, 36-42).
"Then, leaving the crowds,
he went to the house;
and his disciples came to him and said,
'Explain to us the parable about the darnel in the field.'
He said in reply,
'The sower of the good seed is the Son of man.
The field is the world;
the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom;
the darnel, the subjects of the Evil One;
the enemy who sowed it, the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world;
the reapers are the angels.
Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire,
so it will be at the end of time.
The Son of man will send his angels
and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of falling
and all who do evil,
and throw them into the blazing furnace,
where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."

Don't forget: your life is most important
I watched this video in this morning, and it's very important for conscientization.
What do you prefer: some moments of pleasure or to live for be happy?
God's love in your life is too much precious, don't forget your life is the most important.

Oh! My God...
Many people say "Oh! My God..." or "Jesus Christ!!" in stressed situations.
But, who's your God? Who's Jesus Christ?
We know God created everything (Genesis 1, 1-25), and He created the man too (Genesis 1, 26-31).
Now, if God created everything and God is good, why aren't we happy?
God made us free, but many times we don't use well our freedom.
In this point is Jesus Christ, He's God that recreates the world and the humanity.
God created everything in the beginning, and the same God recreates everything and everyone right now.
But God made us free, then each one of us should choose to be or not to be recreated in Jesus Christ.
If you call for Jesus in your problems, you should live as He teaches.
For example, if you watch movies or programs that deny Jesus, like about astrology, spiritualism, reincarnation, satanism, Oriental sects or religions (Yoga, Hinduism, Seisho-No-Ie, and others), pornography, eroticism, adultery, violence, and so many others.
However, look: if you're not Christan, you can do what your faith allows. And for the Christians, think is it according with my faith? Remember, everyone will be judged.
Take it (I Corinthians 1, 9):
"You can rely on God, who has called you to be partners with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord."

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:
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.

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."

Living better each day
I bought a book about the most intelligent saints of the Catholic Church, like St. Augustine, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and some others. This book, written in Brazilian Portuguese, presents the thoughts of them.
The first thought is a St. Augustine's one:
1 Corinthians 13, 1 - 8:
Love is the seed for unity, freedom and charity, without love nothing makes sense.
Unity, freedom and charity are desires and gifts of God, the unity of the Holy Spirit, the freedom achieved by Jesus in the cross, and the charity, as we read in Ecclesiasticus 40, 17:
About love, it's not a felling, but it's a decision. What you do must be according to God's love for you.
The first thought is a St. Augustine's one:
In essentials, unity; freedom in doubt, in all things charity
1 Corinthians 13, 1 - 8:
