From Mortality to Eternal Life

A Reflection Inspired During Holy Mass

During Holy Mass, I was led to this reflection:

You were made mortal from the earth, but in Baptism, the life of God was infused into you through the cleansing by the holy water, the anointing with the holy oils, and the white garment, representing that the Holy Spirit has been infused into your spirit. You have put on Christ and received His eternal light. From that moment, you began to share in His divine life and were called to eternal life.

"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." — Galatians 3:27

"We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." — Romans 6:4

It is no longer you who live, but Christ lives in you.

"It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." — Galatians 2:20

As you receive more of what is heavenly, the more you are molded for eternal life. But the more worldly things you take in, the more worldly and mortal you become, bearing worldly fruits.

For example, if you watch more worldly movies, the emotions of the world—fighting, lust, anger, competition, pride, selfish ambition, and revenge—will fill and shape you, changing your orientation to bear worldly fruits.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." — Romans 12:2

But as you fill yourself with the Sacraments, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, and prayer, you will be crafted and molded for eternal life, bearing the fruits of patience, sacrifice, love, mercy, forgiveness, humility, purity, kindness, and peace.

"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." — Galatians 5:22–23

The real essence within you is the immortal soul that must grow and flourish, overcoming and outgrowing the mortal flesh.

You are sown as a seed, which is mortal.

"What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable." — 1 Corinthians 15:42

The seed needs earthly things to nourish and grow physically, providing a dwelling place for the immortal soul. But as we grow, the immortal soul needs to be fed by the Sacraments, the Word of God, and the Bread of Heaven. It must grow deep roots into the life of Christ, so that the mortal flesh passes away while the immortal soul sprouts forth, strong and firmly rooted in Christ.

Like branches on the Vine, we derive heavenly nourishment from Christ, bearing fruits that heal, serve, and provide shelter for others in the Kingdom of Heaven.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit." — John 15:5

But our problem is that we become stuck in the earthly ground, deriving only earthly food and earthly comforts. Our roots grow only on the surface, seeking what we can see and receive through our physical senses. Thus, we become unstable and fall away easily, just as in the Parable of the Sower.

Matthew 13:20–21

We are not ready to let the flesh die. We want comfort.

Jesus said:

"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." — John 12:24

When we refuse to let the old self die, we place the life of our soul in great danger. The soul begins to starve because its roots fail to grow deeply into Christ, the true Giver of Life. Gradually, even the flesh itself begins to decay.

So let us use the things of this world to give our souls shelter until they become stronger and more deeply rooted in Christ. Then let our souls outgrow the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit and God's grace, continually feeding from Christ and bearing fruits for our Heavenly Father for eternity.

Let us work, not for mortal food, but for the food that lasts for eternal life.

"Do not work for food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life." — John 6:27

The Divine Aura

During Holy Mass 27 July 2026

Parents - be the good soil.

Do not let the world fill your heart.

The things of this world, when they take first place in our hearts, slowly draw us away from Jesus. The more our hearts become filled with worldly desires, pride, selfish ambition, greed, and pleasures apart from God, the more our spiritual life begins to wither and rot.

As Scripture says:

«"Friendship with the world is enmity with God." (James 4:4)»

And:

«"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15–17)»

Everything we do outside God's will opens the door to temptation, and temptation, when embraced, gives birth to sin (James 1:14–15). Sin separates us from God and steals the peace and joy that Christ desires to give us.

Instead of storing up treasures on earth, let us use the things of this world to store up treasures in heaven by loving God, serving others, showing mercy, giving generously, forgiving, and living according to His will.

Like St. Paul, may we say:

«"Whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ... I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord... that I may gain Christ and be found in Him." (Philippians 3:7–9)»

May our greatest treasure always be Jesus Christ. Let us seek first His Kingdom, knowing that everything else passes away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Life towards sainthood

 Ephesians 2:11 says your are chosen in Christ for a great purpose chosen before you are born. 

How are you chosen? Let us walk with St Peter ,walk with Abraham, with St Paul, with Mary mother with Mary Magdalene.. holding hands of Jesus. He will teach us.

This is Grace..Giving the most valuable to the undesired.

God rains upon both good and evil people..but it all lies in how we accept it and respond to it. How do we respond to His call- the good news that invites us to turn away from obeying world to obeying the creator (repentance)

Let us look Luke 5,how each of the person's are called here to follow Jesus.

You are called

You follow

You fail

But lord.raise you up

You get crucified suffer

You shatter but to the one who endure God give Holy Spirit..and pours his love into you..that helps you to overcome the struggle of delivery from flesh to spirit.. make you courageous to give yourself for Gods love. This is sainthood..perfected in Gods love -Jesus.

The Compassionate Heart of Jesus

Luke 7:13

"When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, 'Do not weep.'"

When Jesus sees people, He does not first look at their faults, failures, or weaknesses. He looks upon them with compassion. His gaze is filled with love, mercy, kindness, and tenderness.

Throughout the Gospels, the Lord's heart is always moved with compassion for those who are suffering, burdened by sin, grieving, or lost. His greatest act of compassion is revealed on the Cross, where He freely gave His life for us. There He poured out His mercy, forgave His persecutors, and by His sacrifice cancelled the debt of our sins.

Jesus calls us to have the same heart toward others:

«"Forgive one another as I have forgiven you." (cf. Ephesians 4:32)»

As Christ looks upon us with compassion, so we are called to look upon others with compassion—not with condemnation or resentment, but with mercy, patience, and love. We are invited to pray for those who have fallen into sin, to intercede for them, and to ask that they may receive God's forgiveness and healing. Rather than allowing sin to spread through hatred, revenge, or unforgiveness, we are called to stop its flow by responding with Christ's mercy.

St. Faustina beautifully witnessed this compassionate gaze of Jesus. In Diary 1030, she recognized that someone who outwardly appeared joyful was secretly suffering a deep spiritual battle. Moved by the Holy Spirit, she gently spoke to the woman, helping her recognize that she was being tempted. The woman burst into tears, relieved that someone had understood her hidden suffering. Through compassion, truth, and prayer, peace returned to her soul.

Then, during Holy Mass, St. Faustina received a profound vision of Christ crucified:

«"I saw the Lord Jesus nailed upon the Cross amidst great torments. A soft moan issued from His Heart. After some time, He said, 'I thirst. I thirst for the salvation of souls. Help Me, My daughter, to save souls. Join your sufferings to My Passion and offer them to the heavenly Father for sinners.'" (Diary 1032)»

The thirst of Jesus is not for water but for souls. His compassionate Heart longs for every person to return to Him. He invites us to share in His mission by praying, making sacrifices, forgiving others, and offering our sufferings united to His Passion for the salvation of souls.

May we ask for the grace to see others through the eyes of Christ—with compassion rather than judgment, with mercy rather than condemnation, and with love that leads souls closer to God.

The Word of God Must Be Received Through the Holy Spirit

Satan's strategy has never changed. From the Garden of Eden to the wilderness where Jesus was tempted, he twists God's Word—not always by denying it, but by misusing it.

In the desert, Satan even quoted Scripture to Jesus:

"He will command His angels concerning you..."

He urged Jesus to throw Himself down from the pinnacle of the Temple, using the literal words of Scripture to tempt Him into testing the Father. But Jesus answered:

"You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." (Matthew 4:7)

This teaches us an important truth: the Word of God is not meant to be separated from the Holy Spirit who inspired it. Scripture is not merely a collection of words to argue over or use as weapons in debates. It is the living Word of God, given to reveal Jesus Christ, transform our hearts, and lead us into holiness.

The Apostle Paul reminds us:

"These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit... interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual... The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him." (1 Corinthians 2:10, 13-14)

The deepest mysteries of God cannot be understood by human reasoning alone. They are revealed by the Holy Spirit to hearts that are humble, obedient, and open to God's grace.

Jesus also explained why He spoke in parables:

"To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables." (Mark 4:11)

And again:

"Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables... I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world." (Matthew 13:34-35)

The Word of God is proclaimed to everyone, but its deepest meaning is revealed through the Holy Spirit. God desires all people to be saved, yet He invites us to seek Him with humble and repentant hearts. As we open ourselves to His grace, the Holy Spirit unveils the hidden treasures of God's Word and forms us into the image of Christ.

Jesus also warned:

"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart." (Matthew 13:19)

This is why we should never approach Scripture merely to win arguments or prove ourselves right. We should always pray first:

"Come, Holy Spirit. Open my mind to understand Your Word, open my heart to receive it, and transform me into the likeness of Jesus."

Not everyone who quotes the Bible is speaking with the mind of Christ. Even Satan quoted Scripture. Therefore, we must discern not only whether the words are biblical but whether they are being interpreted according to the Holy Spirit, who always glorifies Christ and never contradicts the truth He has entrusted to His Church.

Scripture can be used to build up or to tear down. It can be proclaimed in a way that leads people to repentance, faith, hope, and love, or it can be misused to stir pride, endless arguments, fear, confusion, condemnation, and division.

A Discernment for Every Christian

Not every challenge, correction, or conviction comes from Satan. In fact, God lovingly corrects His children because He loves them.

As Scripture says:

"For the Lord disciplines the one He loves." (Hebrews 12:6)

Jesus Himself instructed His disciples to correct one another with love when someone has gone astray (Matthew 18:15-17). Therefore, we should never reject correction simply because it is uncomfortable. When offered in humility, truth, and charity, loving correction is a gift that helps us grow in holiness.

The real question is not whether a message challenges us, but what fruit it produces.

Ask yourself:

Does this message lead me closer to Jesus Christ?

Does it inspire repentance, humility, faith, hope, and love?

Does it help me surrender more fully to God's will?

Does it bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit?

Or does it leave me in pride, despair, confusion, division, condemnation, or rejection of God's truth?

The Holy Spirit always leads us to Christ. Even when He convicts us of sin, He does so with the purpose of healing, restoring, and transforming us—not crushing us. Satan, on the other hand, seeks to twist God's Word, accuse, discourage, divide, and draw us away from trusting in the mercy of God.

The goal of Scripture is never merely to increase knowledge. Its purpose is to transform us into Jesus Christ. As we prayerfully meditate on God's Word under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, our hearts are changed, our minds are renewed, and our lives begin to reflect Christ more fully.

Therefore, let us welcome every word that the Holy Spirit uses to shape us into the likeness of Jesus, while prayerfully discerning every teaching in the light of Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the guidance of the Church that Christ established.

May we never allow the enemy to steal the seed of God's Word from our hearts. Instead, may we receive it with faith, guard it in prayer, and allow it to bear abundant fruit.

Come, Holy Spirit. Teach us to hear the voice of Jesus in the Scriptures. Give us humble hearts that receive Your truth with faith, wisdom to discern every teaching, courage to embrace loving correction, and grace to become more like Christ each day. May Your living Word take deep root in our hearts and bear fruit for the glory of God. Amen.

Living in Christ

As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.- Galatians 3 :27

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him.- Colossians 2 :6

Today in the time of adoration jesus told me: Have you reflected on

 * the journey from crucified Jesus to resurrected/ascended Jesus?

Then Jesus gently spoke to me about this journey. 

When Jesus was on the cross, he couldn't do anything physically. He was completely fixated on the cross. But what he did spiritually inside was amazing. Hanging on the cross , Jesus thirsted? Jesus prayed :' father , forgive them as they do not know what they are doing'. He promised paraidse experience to the repented thief who prayed ' remember me when you come into your kingdom ' 

Jesus commended his soul completely to heavenly father and gave his spirit.

The body of Jesus was brought down and laid on mothers bossom. Mother looks at us, asking us to, come and comfort my son. Christ was placed in her bossom the same way as it was during his birth. Mother took him in her bossom and looked at us - Jesus- the savior. Jesus showed me a contrasting image of both.

Mothers looks are different in both circumstances. 

Jesus was helpless both times and had to be carried. One time he was born in flesh and now died to flesh. His fleshly body was embalmed and placed in sepulchure. But conquering the freshly body Jesus rose outpouring in spiritual realm of existence. Appearing to all who accompanied him. He did not heal or do deliverances anymore like he was to do in flesh but Jesus was preaching peace and good news to all who were accompanying him , entrusting them with their mission and breaking holy spirit into them.

He strengthened all and went to be one in father bringing down the Holy Spirit in each.

So , in this journey , when.are on the experience of cross, when we feel trapped or helpless in a situation ,nailed to our daily cross, we must learn to forgive , to thirst for souls, to give paradise experience to those in same sufferings, to commend your spirit in trust to God, leave the freshly life to God.

Leave your freshly body in Christ and rise in spiritual life always doing heavens wish , resting in Jesus. Your old self is crucified in Christ, now the life you live is Christ's life. Christ's says " deny your self, take up your daily crosses ans follow me' . Yes we have to follow Jesus.

Commend your spirit to father and forgive. When you are helpless frozen or nailed to cross or feel lifeless, offer yourself to mother and seek her intercession .

Then Jesus reflected in me 

the journey:

 * from palm leaves to the cross. 

This was a journey of intense sufferings on flesh. But jesus accepted it leaving himself in trust to Abba father. He abandoned himself to father's will, then heavenly help came upon him. With heavenly help, strengthened by angels, he could stand firm in persecutions mocking flogging and carrying the cross of sins of whole world and at same time comforting the women in the way of the cross , meeting mother and his beloved people. So, in times of sufferings surrender your self and pray to get heavenly help. So that in sufferings we are hidden undet the wings of Christ and will not complain but offer ourselves for the mission of salvation in Christ, no matter how hard the times are.

* From baptism to palm leaves

This was a life completely doing father's will. Jesus filled himself in night with father's will, with what father showed him. Father's strength flowed through him while in the freshly life, he was father's word made flesh. He did not speak anything other than what father said, he did nothing other than what father showed. His food was to accomplish father's will.

 Hebrews 10:5-7 says: "when Christ came into the world, he said,

“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.

7 Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God"

* From manger to baptism

Jesus was obedient to his earthly father and mother. He got trained and matured learning his first foundation steps from.earthly guardians/earthly elders that heavenly father appointed.

Luke 2 says "51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor."

Jesus told that these are different levels of spiritual growth crushing out the seed coat of flesh and growing in freedom of spirit. Imitate Christ.

Let us pray

Lord Jesus,

Teach me to walk Your path—

from hidden obedience to faithful surrender,

from suffering to resurrection.

When I am weak, help me trust.

When I am wounded, help me forgive.

When I am lost, draw me into Your will.

Crucify what is not of You in me,

and raise me into Your life.

I place my spirit in Your hands.

Let me live no longer for myself,

but for You alone.

Amen.

Jesus, help us to find what we have lost

Lack of love is the greatest poverty... where there is frustration, fights and misbehaviors there is lack of love..the humanity is wounded..that child is wounded..let us love one another ...the face of love and act of love is JESUS..he came to seek,find and save the lost by sacrificing His own life.

Let us pause and reflect: what have we lost from our lives? Peace, kindness, forgiveness, faith? Let us turn back and pray, “Jesus, help us to find what we have lost.”

Let us choose reconciliation over division, love over resentment, and compassion over indifference. 

Let us reconcile..because before we realize, our time in this world ticks off like a dew in morning. Let us strive to gain in Jesus - our life eternal .

Presenting Jesus from the Temple of My Heart.

 The Fourth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary: The presentation of Jesus in the temple of Jerusalem:  

 When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord- Luke 2:22

As I was meditating on this Joyful mystery of the Holy Rosary before the Holy Eucharist, God’s grace inspired a gentle yet piercing question within me:  Mother Mary and St. Joseph presented Jesus in humble perfection, immaculate as the Lord gave him to them and  they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord.

What if you were asked to present Jesus?  What will be his state?

What is the state of Jesus who lives inside you?

Is He wounded and disfigured? Is He still immature and struggling to grow? Is He crucified and lifeless within me? Or is He risen and alive?

As I reflected, I saw a painful truth about my own heart. The Jesus living within me appeared wounded—whipped and tortured. And I knew that these wounds were not caused by others, but by my own actions and attitudes.

Each time I judge others, I strike Him again.

Each time I complain, I whip Him once more.

Each time I fail to recognize the goodness in others and instead seek my own glory or comfort, I wound Him deeply.

In my prayer, I saw a tender image of Mother Mary holding the wounded Jesus before me. The sight was both sorrowful and full of love. 

Seeing Him like this, I asked with a sincere heart:

"How can I heal my Jesus?"

The answer came quietly but clearly.

Every time I judge, complain, or live without gratitude, I torture Jesus again and again. These attitudes diminish the life of Christ within me and bring pain to the One who gives life to my soul.

Jesus is the very life of my soul. When I wound Him through my thoughts, words, and actions, I am also wounding my own soul.

St Paul reminds us in Galatians 2:20:

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Christ truly lives within the believer. My life is no longer merely my own—it is Christ living in me.

The Scriptures also remind us that our true life is hidden in Him:

"For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." — Colossians 3:3

This means that the deepest reality of our soul is united with Christ Himself. When we live in grace, our life is inseparably joined to His life.

Yet His mercy is endless. Each time I receive Him in Holy Communion, Jesus gives Himself completely again. He pours His life into me anew, offering healing, renewal, and grace.

Because of this, I must live each moment with a deep awareness: the living Jesus dwells within me.

My words, my attitudes, and my actions must reflect that sacred reality.

I must guard my heart so that I do not wound Him through judgment, complaints, pride, or ingratitude. Instead, I am called to see Jesus not only within myself, but also within every person I meet.

When I recognize Jesus living in others, I begin to love differently. I speak differently. I treat others with reverence and compassion. To love Jesus within me means to love others as He loves them.

This reflection leaves me with a simple but powerful calling:

Love the Jesus who lives in you. And love one another as Jesus loves you.

When we live this way—with humility, gratitude, and mercy—the wounded Christ within us is slowly healed, and His life begins to shine through us for the world to see.

Prayer:

I love you, Jesus, my Love, above all things. I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as you will.  Amen.
