Jesus reminds us to forgive: “Go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” Matthew, chapter 5, verse 24 Reconciliation is realized in different ways. The most effective is to give everything to Jesus, absolutely everything at every opportunity. What we experience as negative, what stifles, what destroys us and keeps us enslaved to evil, we do not need. When we give them to Jesus, he gives us peace. He helps us improve. Let’s allow the Lord to cleanse what seems to be drying in our hearts, for lack of forgiveness. Forgiveness is an act of healing within us and for others. It may seem hard to forgive sometimes, especially when we have been deeply hurt, but it’s actually and effective act of healing. Let’s entrust everything in God’s hands. Let’s receive his peace. Our heart will expand, it will drink the Living Water in Christ’s Heart. It’s a holy sharing between us and God. The new American Bible, 2011-2014 Book: Watch with faith, Normand Thomas

When there is a societal push to build human identity on a big lie what can we expect? Gender identity is a lie and that you can change your sex is another lie. Lies enslave and construct hell. We must stop teaching these lies to innocent children in public schools.

MEDITATION FOR THE TUESDAY AFTER PENTECOST I am the door; whoever enters through me will be saved; he will go in and out, and find pastures . (S. John, ch. 10) 1. Consider that Jesus Christ assures us with these words, that if we are faithful to follow his ways and his conduct, we will find favorable outcomes in everything we undertake; the beginning, the goal and the end of our actions will be accompanied by blessings, and finally we will happily arrive at the desired end of our salvation; but the main difficulty is to know well the ways and the conduct of this divine Savior towards us, and for this we need the gift of counsel , which is the third among the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is very necessary for us to properly discern the ways of God from those which are not of God, and the sure paths of salvation from the circuitous paths. Oh ! how necessary this gift of advice is in the circumstances in which we find ourselves! and that there are nevertheless few people who conduct …More

In another excerpt of his 19 May interview with Norah O’Donnell (“60 Minutes”), Francis who doesn't trust anybody claimed that “people are fundamentally good”. Contradicting Christ (Mk 10:18 "No one is good except God alone") and reality, Francis blabbered: "We are all fundamentally good. Yes, there are some villains and sinners, but the heart itself is good.” With the same incompetence, Francis then spoke about surrogate motherhood, saying that it is not authorised “in the strict sense of term” [= allowed]. Trying to dodge the problem, he then said: "Sometimes surrogacy has become a business, and that is very bad. It is very bad.” But O’Donnell insisted that surrogacy is sometimes “the only hope”. Francis replied that this “could be” adding that "the other hope is adoption. I would say that in each case the situation should be considered carefully and clearly, consulting medically and then morally as well.” And, “I think there is a general rule in these cases, but you have to go into …More

QUESTION 37 — THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS “LOVE” Let us now move on to this name of the Holy Spirit: “Love”: 1. Is this a proper name of the Holy Spirit? 2. Do the Father and the Son love each other through the Holy Spirit? Article 1 — Is “Love” a proper name of the Holy Spirit? Objections: 1. S. Augustine writes: “The name Wisdom is given to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: and all together are one wisdom, and not three wisdoms. I do not see why we would not also give the name of charity to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, all together being, moreover, only one charity. ” But a name which suits each person and all together in the singular, is not the proper name of a person. “Love” is therefore not a proper name of the Holy Spirit. 2 . The Holy Spirit is a subsisting person. Now the word “love” does not evoke a subsisting person, but an action which passes from the lover to the beloved. Therefore, “Love” is not a proper name of the Holy Spirit. 3 . Love …More
