MAY THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST, BE ALWAYS IN OUR HEART TO KEEP US HUMBLE, GRATEFUL, MERCIFUL, FORGIVING --- O GOD, BLESS ALL THAT IS COMING FROM YOU AND BREAK ALL THAT IS NOT COMING FROM YOU, AMEN --- This site is just a drop from the immeasurable ocean in JESUS, THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, HOLY TRINITY ONE GOD - HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE - TEACHER, HEALER, REDEEMER --- The main purpose of this site is to make an easier access to Catholic Religion-related links.
The time of God is here. When He sent His Son to the earth, it was to break down any remaining barrier. He turns darkness to light and clouds into rain. Are there clouds in your life? Look at them as filled with blessings. The bigger your problem, the bigger is the potential for God's intervention. As we all know, even as an Infant, He is vastly larger than the greatest problem. The clouds above you should be viewed as filled with rain that can nourish, that can sustain growth. We need to remember this as we face the challenges (and excitement) of life. Blessings build and build and then "rain" upon us. Now, there are dark clouds that we must pray away. We are not talking about those! They are the result of evil. We're talking about the times in our lives when we fail to see a cloud that was sent with rainfall (and a silver lining). Too often, we don't appreciate the arrival of a blessing. We see a cloud and it rains and we complain when we get wet -- we feel uncomfortable. It may even make us mad. We tend to think of rain as an inconvenience (or worse). It's a "bad day." "It is raining at this time, and you say, 'It is not reasonable to go to church in this slush. Why is it raining so much?'" the Blessed Mother said in a locution at Medjugorje. "Do not ever speak like that. You have prayed without ceasing for God to send you rain that makes the earth rich, and so [you should not] turn against the blessing of God." The same is true with snow: it refurbishes our aquifers, our streams, and our rivers when it melts. "The wind is my sign," she also allegedly intoned. "When the wind blows, know that I am with you. When it is cold, you want to come to church; you want to offer everything to God." Of course, there are storms that represent displeasure. There are storms of chastisement. But with many clouds, with most, each drop is a blessing. These are "clouds of grace." They are clouds of favour. Through faith, they build and build. The darkness holds the potential of favour. When a problem comes, it often has a grace behind it! Expand your vision. Look beyond a dilemma. Don't keep looking down; no blessings come from there! Instead, accept life as a test, and transcend sufferings. Ask yourself: what would happen if there was no precipitation? When we constantly thank God for what He sends -- or is going to send -- and when we use all that He gives us (letting His gifts flow through us to others), He multiplies that grace. He expands those gifts. He grants greater favours than we imagined possible. He wants us to expand our vision beyond the clouds and that's when the "sky" really opens and graces flow like a torrent! Ask for unprecedented blessings, and they will grow and shower down upon you -- in God's time and in His Way. Let Him surprise you! In the coming year, vow to ask "big"; vow to thank God; vow to exercise faith; vow to use His gifts to help others; and vow to see beyond every darkness. [resources: The God of Miracles]
'Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego...' Daniel 3:30 The story of the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace makes us realise four things: 1) Obeying God doesn't exempt you from trouble. Don't expect the world to always understand or appreciate you. Look at Christ: 'In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it' (John 1:4-5 NIV) 2) You're not alone; God is with you in your trouble. When King Nebuchadnezzar looked into the fiery furnace he said, '...I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God' (Daniel 3:25). Instead of destroying them, the fire burned the ropes that bound them and set them free. So be encouraged. It may feel like you're 'bound by circumstances,' limited and locked in, but God is with you; He's going to vindicate you and bring you out of this victorious 3) Your trouble will become your testimony. Others are watching. What they're trusting in doesn't work, and they're wondering if what you're trusting in does. Your faithfulness to God and His intervention on your behalf will touch their lives in ways your theology never will. Everybody in Babylon knew what the three Hebrew children believed, but they wanted to know, 'Does it work when you're in the fire?' It does! 4) On the other side of your trouble, there's great blessing. 'Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.' It's a Scriptural principle: when you are faithful in a hard place, God can trust you in a high place.
“I will answer them before they even call to Me…” (Isaiah 65:24, NLT).
Have you ever thought about something you wanted or needed, and suddenly that need was supplied—before you ever even stopped to pray about it? God knows your needs before you even speak them. He wants to provide for you and answer the very desires of your heart. When you put Him first in everything you do, when you faithfully follow His commands, He’ll pour out an extra portion of His goodness and favour upon you.Don’t ever think God is too busy to answer your prayers. Don’t ever think your needs are too small, or that you don’t matter. He cares about everything that concerns you, and He loves to hear you call upon His name. You are very special to God, and He promises to answer in His timing, and sometimes, before you even call. Stand in faith knowing that God wants to shower you with His abundant blessings today.
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Reveal Your good plan for me and teach me to trust in You as I surrender to You every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
“You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand” (Psalm 16:11). Do you need more joy in your life today? God promises that joy is found in His presence, and if you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then His presence lives inside of you! That joy manifests when you focus your mind and heart on the Father and begin to praise Him for what He’s done in your life. The Bible says that He inhabits the praises of His people. When you begin to praise and thank Him, you are in His presence where there is fullness of joy. It doesn’t matter where you are or what’s going on around you, you can access the joy that’s inside of you at anytime, day or night. And know this: God wants you to experience His supernatural joy and peace at all times. That’s why He chose to live inside of you and give you an endless supply. Don’t waste another minute feeling overburdened and discouraged. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength, and you will move forward in victory on the path of life He’s prepared for you! Pray This: Father in heaven, thank You for an endless supply of joy. Today, I choose to cast my cares on You and give You the praise, glory, and honour You deserve. Let joy flow through me today so that I can be a witness of Your goodness to those around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Lk 19:41-44 -- (Jesus weeping over Jerusalem) - (Ġesu jibki lil Ġerusalemm)
Luqa 19:41-44 Wasal qrib il-belt u, kif raha, beda jibkiha u jgħid: "M'hux li għaraft imqar int ukoll f'dan il-jum x'inhu ta' ġid għalik! Imma issa! Dan hu moħbi minn għajnejk! Għax għad jiġi żmien fuqek meta l-għedewwa tiegħek idawwruk b'rampa u jagħlquk minn kullimkien u jrossu fuqek minn kull naħa; u jġarrfu lilek u lil uliedek fik, u ma jħallux fik ġebla fuq oħra, talli ma għaraftx iż-żmien taż-żjara li saritlek"

U qallu: “Min qallek li int għarwien? Jaqaw kilt mis-siġra li għidtlek ma tikolx minnha?” U wieġeb Adam: “Il-mara li tajtni miegħi, hi tatni mis-siġra, u jiena kilt”. U l-Mulej Alla qal lill-mara: “X’inhu li għamilt?” U l-mara weġbitu: “Is-serp daħak bija, u kilt”. U l-Mulej Alla qal lis-serp: “Talli għamilt hekk, int tkun l-iżjed misħut fost il-bhejjem kollha u fost l-annimali selvaġġi kollha. Int timxi għal żaqqek u tiekol it-trab għal ħajtek kollha.
Innissel mibegħda bejnek u bejn il-mara, bejn nislek u bejn nisilha. Hu jgħaffiġlek rasek u inti tgħattanlu għarqubu”. U lil martu Adam semmieha Eva, għax kienet omm il-ħajjin kollha.

Evanġelju
Lq 1: 26-38
Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Luqa.
F’dak iż-żmien: L-anġlu Gabrijel kien mibgħut minn Alla f’belt tal-Galilija, jisimha Nazaret, għand xebba mgħarrsa ma’ raġel jismu Ġużeppi, mid-dar ta’ David; u x-xebba kien jisimha Marija. Daħal għandha u qalilha: “Sliem għalik, mimlija bil-grazzja, il-Mulej miegħek”. Għal dan il-kliem tħawdet, u bdiet titħasseb bejnha u bejn ruħha x’setgħet tfisser dik it-tislima. Iżda l-anġlu qalilha: “Tibżax, Marija, għax inti sa tnissel fi ħdanek u jkollok iben u ssemmih Ġesù. Hu jkun kbir, u jkun jissejjaħ Bin il-Għoli, u l-Mulej Alla jagħtih it-tron ta’ David missieru; u jsaltan fuq dar Ġakobb għal dejjem, u s-saltna tiegħu ma jkollhiex tmiem”.
Iżda, Marija qalet lill-anġlu: “Kif ikun dan, ladarba ma nagħrafx raġel?” Weġibha l-anġlu u qalilha: “L-Ispirtu s-Santu jiġi fuqek u l-qawwa tal-Għoli tixħet id-dell tagħha fuqek; u għalhekk dak li jitwieled minnek ikun qaddis u jkun jissejjaħ Bin Alla. U ara, il-qariba tiegħek Eliżabetta, hija wkoll nisslet iben fi ħdanha, u dan huwa s-sitt xahar għaliha li kienu jgħidu li ma jistax ikollha tfal; għax għal Alla ma hemm xejn li ma jistax isir”.
Imbagħad qalet Marija: “Hawn jien il-qaddejja tal-Mulej; ħa jsir minni skont kelmtek!” U l-anġlu telaq minn ħdejha.
Il-Kelma tal-Mulej.
R/. Tifħir lilek Kristu.

On the 8th of December, at noon, an Hour of Grace will be installed
Request of Our Heavenly Mother for the Hour of Grace: 1. To be started from 12 noon until 1 p.m. (one full hour of prayer);
2. During this hour the person making the Hour of Grace either at home or in a church must put away all distractions; 3. Begin the Hour of Grace by praying three times the 51st Psalm with outstretched arms; 4. The rest of the Hour of Grace may be spent in silent communication with God, adoring the Sacred Host, meditating upon the Passion of Jesus, saying the Holy Rosary, praising God in you own way or by using favourite prayers, singing hymns, etc. History: During the period of November 24 1946 to December 8, 1947, the Blessed Mother appeared to Sister Pierina in a little church in Montichiari, Italy, eleven times.
On the first appearance the Blessed Mother told Sister Pierina She wanted to be known as the Mystical Rose and that an hour of grace should be kept at noon, December 8th, in all the Catholic Churches of the world. The Blessed Mother wanted this to be known through all Italy, and the entire world.
It was November 16, 1947 when Sister Pierina was finishing Her Thanksgiving after Holy Communion when she saw a great light. She then saw a vision of the Blessed Mother as the Mystical Rose. Sister was so deeply moved by the stunning beauty of Our Lady that she began talking to Her. All of a sudden a gentle force made her kneel down in front of Our Lady. The Blessed Mother spoke these words. "My Son is so greatly offended by the sins of impurity. He is already planning to send the deluge upon the people, for their destruction, but I have asked Him to show mercy, and not send the destruction. So that is why I have appeared, to ask for penance and atonement for the sins of impurity." On the 22nd of November, Sister Pierina felt the overwhelming urge to go to church at 4:00. The Mother Superior, four Sisters, and a group of friends accompanied her. They were all saying the Rosary when the Blessed Mother appeared as before. Again, Our Lady asked for penance. She said, "Penance is nothing more than accepting all our crosses daily willingly. No matter how small, accept them with love." At this time She told Sister Pierina to come again on December 8th at noon. "This will be my Hour of Grace." The Sister asked how she was to prepare for this Hour of Grace? To which the Blessed Mother said, "with prayers and penance. Pray the 51st psalm with outstretched arms three times. During the Hour of Grace, many spiritual graces would be granted. The most hard-hearted sinners will be touched by the grace of God." The Blessed Mother promised that whatever a person asked her for during this Hour of Grace (even in impossible cases) would be granted to them, if it was in accordance with the Will of the Eternal Father. On the morning of December 8th, people began arriving at the little church at 8:00 in the morning form neighbouring towns. By noon, some 10,000 people had gathered to see the Blessed Mother… In the most gentle and loving voice, Our Lady smiled and began to speak [to Sister Pierina]: "I am the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of my Beloved Son, Jesus. I want to be known as the Mystical Rose. My wish is that every year on the 8th of December, at noon, an Hour of Grace will be installed. Many spiritual graces and physical blessings will be received by those who pray, undisturbed, during this hour."

POESIA ALL'IMMACOLATA.
Vera Madre son io di un Dio che è Figlio e son figlia di Lui, benché sua Madre.
Ab aeterno nacqu'Egli ed è mio Figlio, nel tempo io nacqui, eppur gli sono Madre
- Egli è il mio Creator ed è mio Figlio;
son io sua creatura e Gli son Madre.
Fu prodigio divin l'essere mio Figlio un Dio eterno, e me d'aver per Madre
L'essere quasi è comun fra Madre e Figlio perché l'esser dal Figlio ebbe la Madre e l'esser dalla Madre ebbe anche il Figlio.
Or, se l'esser dal Figlio ebbe la Madre, o s'ha da dir che fu macchiato il Figlio, o senza macchia s'ha da dir la Madre.
Questa poesia fu composta niente di meno che da Satana in persona. Nel
1823, ad Ariano Irpino (Avellino), due celebri predicatori domenicani,
p. Cassiti e p. Pignataro, furono invitati a esorcizzare un ragazzo.
Allora si discuteva ancora tra i teologi sulla verità della Immacolata
Concezione, che fu poi proclamata dogma di fede trentuno anni dopo, nel
1854. Ebbene, i due frati imposero al demonio di dimostrare che Maria
era Immacolata; e per di più gli ingiunsero di farlo mediante un
sonetto: una poesia di quattordici versi endecasillabi, a rima
obbligata. Si noti che l'indemoniato era un fanciullo di dodici anni e
analfabeta. Subito Satana pronunciò i versi che abbiamo sopra esposti
(Fonte: Padre Gabriele Amorth, Nuovi Racconti di un esorcista).

Mt 9:27-31 -- Jesus heals two blind men - Żewġ għomja jitfejqu għax jemmnu fil-Mulej.
FRIDAY GOSPEL OF WEEK 1 IN ADVENT
Evanġelju Żewġ għomja jitfejqu għax jemmnu fil-Mulej. Mt 9, 27-31
Qari mill-Evanġelju skont San Mattew
F’dak iż-żmien, waqt li Ġesù kien sejjer minn hemm marru warajh żewġ għomja jgħajtu u jgħidu: “Bin David, ħenn għalina!”. Meta mbagħad daħal id-dar, l-għomja resqu lejh u Ġesù qalilhom: “Temmnu intom li jien nista’ nagħmlu dan?”. Qalulu: “Iva, Mulej”. Imbagħad messilhom għajnejhom u qal: “Mela ħa jsirilkom skont il-fidi tagħkom”. U għajnejhom infetħulhom. Ġesù widdibhom bis-sħiħ u qalilhom: “Qisu li ħadd ma jsir jaf b’dan”. Iżda dawk ħarġu u bdew ixerrdu l-fama tiegħu ma’ dak il-pajjiż kollu. Il-Kelma tal-Mulej R/. Tifħir lilek Kristu
============
We have been taught that faith is a gift from God, a gift to treasure, nourish and pass on to others. In the Gospel of St. Matthew, we hear Christ questioning the two blind men, "Do you believe that I can do this to you?" (Matthew 9:28) It is a powerful question, one that could be asked of each of us. Do we believe that Christ can make powerful changes in our lives? If not, who are we relying on to make these changes? Christ then touched the eyes of the blind men and said "According to your faith, be it done unto you." (Matthew 9:29) What would happen to us if Christ said to us, "According to your faith be it done unto you"?
"Ah, Sovereign LORD, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you!" - Jeremiah 32:17 Ġer 32:17 - "O Sidi, Mulej, ara, int għamilt is-smewwiet u l-art bil-qawwa kbira tiegħek u bi driegħek merfugħ, xejn m'hu impossibli għalik!"

How beautiful You are my love
You show Your face in all creation
Where You sign Your name, with letters of love;
I look around and see, Your beauty and majesty,
You made the world for me to find You
Know Your love, to live for You my love.
Sunshine You give, to make my days bright,
The moon and the stars, to light up the night
Clouds with a silver lining, to show that the sun's just hiding
In storms and rain, You're always there.
How.....
The sea with its splendour, power and might
The wind which blows, and goes as it likes
Flowers to give us pleasure; these are Your gifts to treasure
I look around and know that You're there
How......
Still all these years, just were'nt enough
You gave us Yourself, to show us Your love;
Closed in each Tabernacle,
In every church and chapel,
You give us Yourself, to show that You care.
How.....

Te Deum, also sometimes called the Ambrosian Hymn because if its association with St. Ambrose, is a traditional hymn of joy and thanksgiving. First attributed to Sts. Ambrose, Augustine, or Hilary, it is now accredited to Nicetas, Bishop of Remesiana (4th century). It is used at the conclusion of the Office of the Readings for the Liturgy of the Hours on Sundays outside Lent, daily during the Octaves of Christmas and Easter, and on Solemnities and Feast Days. The petitions at the end were added at a later time and are optional. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite it in thanksgiving and a plenary indulgence is granted if the hymn is recited publicly on the last day of the year.

...GOD -- HE GIVES ME JOY IN MY HEART, EVEN DURING SICKNESS, TRAGEDY, DISAPPOINTMENT, ISOLATION .... AND THAT AFFECTS ALL THOSE AROUND ME -- HOW BEAUTIFUL !
...THE WORLD -- IT GIVES ME JOY IN ITS PLEASURES, THAT FADES AWAY LIKE THE FOG AND LEAVES ME FILLED WITH EMPTINESS, SHAME AND LONLINESS .... AND THAT AFFECTS ALL THOSE AROUND ME -- HOW MISERABLE !
GREAT PEACE
“Great Peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble” (Psalm 119:165). God not only wants to give you peace, He wants to give you great peace! When you love the law of the Lord, nothing can make you stumble, and you will have great peace. Great peace gives you joy when it doesn’t make sense for you to be happy. It passes understanding. Great peace keeps you stable and strong no matter what may come against you. Make the decision to focus your attention on God’s Word today and everyday. As you discipline yourself in the scriptures, you will hunger more for God’s Word, and that love for His law will naturally develop. Psalm 119:105 says that His Word is a lamp to our feet and light to our path. That means God’s Word directs us. God’s Word protects us.You can find peace and security in His Word, knowing that He is faithful and your future is sure! Choose His Word today, and you will have great peace and live the life of blessing God has in store for you!
Pray This: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word that gives me peace. I choose to focus on Your Word so that You can protect me and guide me. I give You praise for working in my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
