The Secret of Sanctity

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MzFWi3-b2M





We Are Not Saints Because We Do Not Want To Be


"If we keep praying for our enemies, we are meriting graces for them and for ourselves and the devil will eventually give up." 

We have to be always conscious that the worst enemy is ourselves - our decision will draw us closer to God or away from Him, leading ourselves to one fall deeper than the other, without direction ... 

We should not be afraid to be merciful. We should not be afraid to defeat our own pride ...

GOD NEVER REJECTS A CONTRITE HEART...

We need to exercise mercy through our actions, through our words, through our prayers and through our thoughts --- We can do them by performing the Spiritual and Corporal works of Mercy:

SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY:
To instruct the ignorant.
To counsel the doubtful.
To admonish the sinners.
To bear patiently those who wrong us.
To forgive offenses .
To comfort the afflicted.
To pray for the living and the dead.

 

 

CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY:
To feed the hungry.
To give water to the thirsty.
To clothe the naked.
To shelter the homeless.
To visit the sick.
To visit the imprisoned, or ransom the captive.
To bury the dead.

Lk 1:1-4; 4:14-21 -- Introduction & Jesus in the synagogue - Dedika lil ...

1. Dedika lil Teofilu
[Lq:1:1] Bosta kienu dawk li ħadu f'idejhom ix-xogħol li jiġbru bl-ordni f'rakkont wieħed il-ġrajja li seħħu fostna, [Lq:1:2] kif għaddewhom lilna dawk li sa mill-bidu rawhom b'għajnejhom stess u saru ministri  tal-kelma. Lq:1:3] Hekk ukoll jien, għażiż Teofilu, wara li bir-reqqa kollha qgħadt infittex it-tagħrif dwar kull ma ġara sa mill-bidunett, deherli li għandi niktiblek kollox ħaġa b'ħaġa, [Lq:1:4] biex tagħraf sewwa l-verità sħiħa dwar kull ma tgħallimt.

Il-bidu tal-ministeru ta' Ġesù fil-Galilija
(Mt 4, 12-17 ; Mk 1, 14-15)
[Lq:4:14] Ġesù, bil-qawwa ta' l-Ispirtu, reġa' mar il-Galilija; u l-fama tiegħu xterdet ma' dawk l-inħawi kollha, [Lq:4:15] għax hu kien jgħallem fis-sinagogi tagħhom fost it-tifħir ta' kulħadd.
In-nies ta' Nazaret ma jilqgħux lil Ġesù
(Mk 13, 53-38 ; Mt 6, 1-6)
[Lq:4:16] U ġie Nazaret fejn kien trabba. Daħal fis-sinagoga tagħhom, kif kien imdorri jagħmel nhar ta' Sibt, u qam biex jaqra.[Lq:4:17] Tawh f'idejh il-ktieb ta' Isaija l-profeta, fetħu u sab fejn kien hemm miktub dan li ġej:
        [Lq:4:18] 'L-Ispirtu tal-Mulej fuqi,
        għax hu kkonsagrani,
        Bagħatni nħabbar il-ħelsien lill-imjassrin,
        nwassal il-bxara t-tajba lill-fqajrin,
        u d-dawl mill-ġdid lill-għomja,
        nrodd il-ħelsien lill-maħqurin
        [Lq:4:19] u nxandar sena tal-grazzja tal-Mulej.'
[Lq:4:20] Mbagħad raġa' għalaq il-ktieb, tah lura lill-qaddej u qagħad bilqiegħda. Għajnejn kulħadd fis-sinagoga kienu msammra fuqu. [Lq:4:21] U beda jgħidilhom: "Din il-kitba seħħet illum, intom u tisimgħu."

May 14 - Saint Matthias - Chosen to Replace Judas --- ACTS 1:15-17, 20-26

 Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas

¹⁵ In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, ¹⁶ “Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus— ¹⁷ for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” 

 ²⁰ “For it is written in the book of Psalms,

‘Let his homestead become desolate,
    and let there be no one to live in it’;

and

‘Let another take his position of overseer.’

²¹ So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²² beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.” ²³ So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ Then they prayed and said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen ²⁵ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” ²⁶ And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
