Be Confident on God more than Ourselves.

Our Lord knows us more than we know ourselves..Amen
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,and before you were born I consecrated you;(Jeremiah 1:5)
For it was you who formed my inward parts;    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.(Psalms 139:13-14)
My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret,    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance.In your book were written    all the days that were formed for me,    when none of them as yet existed.-(Psalms 139:15-16)

And God,who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. -Romans 8:27-28

O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;  you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down,    and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue,    O Lord, you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before,    and lay your hand upon me.(Psalms 139:1-5)

Our Lord always is watching over us. He is pained when we go away, because He cant do nothing unless WE decide to have Him in us. But He stands like a helpless father seeing His kid going to danger. He never compels us but wants us wholesomely .
No matter how far we went from Lord because of our own selfish sinful life..Our Lord is waiting for us to return. The moment we get the realization that we are far from Lord or the way we are is not right- YES this is the time our Lord is waiting eagerly for us to run back to Him. 

He has opened us the way to salvation- JESUS CHRIST, we simply just want to run back..realizing the bondage's that took us away from His love.. focusing on JESUS and believing in the way of salvation. 

EVen if we feel so bad about our ways and even if we loose our hope--our Lord says 'I AM WITH YOU  and  I HAVE COME NOT TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT TO GIVE LIFE ABUNDANTLY"

 But law came in, with the result that the trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,  so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Romans 5:20-21

 Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,-Acts 3:19

Lets be honest to our Creator who is calling us back for the eternal joy. Let us seek his help to overcome all the temptations that fails us to get His love. let us thirst for the filling of the Holy Spirit who helps us to tide over and take decisions in accordance to Gods wish. Let us not pain Him anymore. Let us hear the voice of Lord through this Spirit and be able to crucify all our worldly passions to the cross of Jesus.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.- Galatians 2:20

 But the Advocate,the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.-John 14:26

For those who put trust on Lord will never be put to shame but their face will be radiant in Lords light.
Look to him, and be radiant;
    so your  faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
    and was saved from every trouble.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and delivers them -Psalms 34:5-7

Keep your tongue from evil,
    and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil, and do good;
    seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
    and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
    to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
    and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted,
    and saves the crushed in spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
    but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20 He keeps all their bones;
    not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.-Psalms 34:13-22

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.- John 1:1-5

Even if we are feeling lifeless due to our life or lost- take out the word of God which is our life, read it and use it and meditate it- it is our life ,our medicine, our hope and the voice of Lord. It speaks to us every time we read it- the living word. it has answers that God gives us, direction that god shows us and plans that God prepares us for. This is our daily bread. 

How can young people keep their way pure?
    By guarding it according to your word.
10 With my whole heart I seek you;
    do not let me stray from your commandments.
11 I treasure your word in my heart,
    so that I may not sin against you.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes.
13 With my lips I declare
    all the ordinances of your mouth.
14 I delight in the way of your decrees
    as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on your precepts,
    and fix my eyes on your ways.
16 I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

17 Deal bountifully with your servant,
    so that I may live and observe your word-Psalms 119:9-17

God who created all things;  so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.  This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord,  in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him. I pray therefore that you[f] may not lose heart over my sufferings for you; they are your glory.

 Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.(Ephesians 3:1-21)

Can a woman forget her nursing child,
    or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
    yet I will not forget you.See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands,.- Isaiah 49:15-16

"YOU ARE MINE"- says the LORD. 

Praise Lord.

Are we Blessed?

Matthew 5:3-11- The Beatitudes

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The above verses, the word of the lord, are the essence of our life. 

How do we define 'Blessed'? Good health, good job, happy children, a well settled life. But these blessings disappear with days. So what is a blessing?

In the criteria of our Lord, who are blessed? Let us reflect.

Are we blessed?

Let us submit ourselves to be blessed by the Lord, To be Blessed in everlasting satisfaction.

Praise and thanks to Lord

Amen.

Love the Creator and not the Creations

 Readings

Wisdom of Solomon 13:1-9,Luke 17:26-37,Psalm 19:2-5

For all men who were ignorant of God were foolish by nature; and they were unable from the good things that are seen to know him who exists, nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works;if men were amazed at their power and working, let them perceive from them how much more powerful is he who formed.For as they live among his works they keep searching, and they trust in what they see, because the things that are seen are beautiful.Yet again, not even they are to be excused;for if they had the power to know so much that they could investigate the world, how did they fail to find sooner the Lord of these things.
As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man.They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.so will it be on the day when the Son of man is revealed

Let's not get carried away by the creations,so as to forget our creator. Instead,let's accept the creations thankfully from Lord and use it to lead us to the everlasting truth ,Our Lord,who through thy amazing grace showed us the way of salvation, Jesus. Let glorify His name with all the creations of this world.

Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.

Ever since the creation of the world his eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are, have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So they are without excuse; for though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their senseless minds were darkened.  Claiming to be wise, they became fools;  and they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,  because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.Romans 1:20-25

Prayer

Lord help us experience your care love grace and mercy through all blessings that you give us. You give us freely out of love ,help us to share it without selfishness to others and spread your love. Help us to see you,acknowledge you and walk to you through all the creations around us and be ready to receive you when you come. Let us love and live for the Creator...

Amen

Immerse in Gods Love....

This is a dream that changed my life....

I was sleeping near my beloved,in the most restful peaceful place. My beloved,who symbolizes the perfection of love. My father,my mother, my husband,my kid-all in one.  Suddenly a voice is heard from the toilet behind. Sounds of people arise. I hear them saying," thief thief,he has broken into your house". But my beloved said"stay close to me,don't get up and go to look,it's nothing to fear". This time I laid down. Again I heard the voice, this time I couldn't resist and I went off to look. All I saw was a mice. But the moment mice saw me,it started following me ,chasing me to bite me. This made me run away out of the house were my beloved is and made me run far away from him. The mice chased  me to bite. After running for a while, suddenly I stopped. Something forced me to turn to the mice and say, 'with the sign of the holy cross, save us from evil,dear lord' and I did the sign of cross in front of the mice. From then on the mice started moving away and got thrown to side.
I realized,I am delivered. From then on, I begin to experience love. Love filling in my heart. This made me free, I began to dance and sing and hop and walk. While going on the way like this,I saw my friends,I hugged them and kissed them. I saw people that even dint liked to see, but I was seen hugging them and kissing them too..there was no discrimination but just love. I was singing "Kuroshil ninnum paanjozhugeedunna daivasnehathin van krupayal.. Ozhugi ozhugi adiyanil nirayenamey sneha sagaramai...it's a beautiful song meaning "the grace of love of god that flows from the cross flowed and flowed into me as a sea of love". This was my dream

When I got up I was crying...I was in sea of lords love...it flowed bubbled and showered . I began to thank god for making me experience the freedom in his love and its anesthetic effect. Then God prompted me in prayer to send a message "God loves you so much..say I love you Lord" to everyone in my whatsapp list personally. I did it. The response was still great as when Fulton j sheen said "God is love" many years ago that made lot many souls to repent. 

Some couldn't believe message was for them, some replied it was the right message the right time, some said I really needed it more,some said yes lord I love you. But definitely this unique love for each must have strikes each one.. Because Lord says even now to you....

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH....say I LOVE YOU LORD... 

From this day on...I am not able to go far from my Lord...it's hard for me to compromise this love for any love of mine...because This love Is perfect Satisfaction...flowing more and more forever...and once it gets filling us, let it flow to others...make others say I love you lord...then we will find we are immersing in his love...sharing gods love proliferates love in us through more love flowing from above.

Amen praise lord.

To Jesus through Mother..

When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.(-John 19:26-27)

Mary Mother of God you ,through your purity humility and submission delivered the Living word to flesh for the world..through suffering and pain you submitted Jesus for the world..With the hand you received the little Jesus with happiness and satisfaction as all mothers have while receiving their on baby, with the same hand you held Jesus, who suffered bled and died for us and the whole world..we feel your depth of emotions...still your remained calm..silent..pondering everything in your heart..With this power you were hailed the queen in heaven..with this power you remain with us in earth to protect us from evil..to deliver us from bonds of world..to help us in nurturing the living word in us amidst the trials and temptations..to bring into us the presence of Holy Spirit gifting us with gift of knowledge and wisdom..guiding us to the way, truth and life-JESUS-the way of salvation.

Wisdom 9

The Exaltation of Holy Cross

Moses lifted up the snake in the desert.It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too.Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him(John 3:14-17)

"And through him, God was happy to bring all things back to himself again—things on earth and things in heaven.God made peace by using the blood sacrifice of his Son on the cross.(Colossians1:20).The teaching about the cross seems foolish to those who are lost. But to us who are being saved it is the power of God.(1 Corinthians 1:18)"

"How splendid the cross of Christ! It brings life, not death; light, not darkness; Paradise, not its loss. It is the wood on which the Lord, like a great warrior, was wounded in hands and feet and side, but healed thereby our wounds. A tree has destroyed us, a tree now brought us life" (Theodore of Studios).

Lets Be the True Christian..

‘If you wish to anoint me king over you in good faith,
come and take refuge in my shadow.
Otherwise, let fire come from the buck thorn and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
                                                                                                               -Judges 9:6-15

Jesus told his disciples this parable:
“The Kingdom of heaven is like a landowner
who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard.
After agreeing with them for the usual daily wage,
he sent them into his vineyard.
Going out about nine o’clock,
he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
and he said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard,
and I will give you what is just.’
So they went off.
And he went out again around noon,
and around three o’clock, and did likewise.
Going out about five o’clock,
he found others standing around, and said to them,
‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
They answered, ‘Because no one has hired us.’
He said to them, ‘You too go into my vineyard.’
When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman,
‘Summon the laborers and give them their pay,
beginning with the last and ending with the first.’
When those who had started about five o’clock came,
each received the usual daily wage.
So when the first came, they thought that they would receive more,
but each of them also got the usual wage.
And on receiving it they grumbled against the landowner, saying,
‘These last ones worked only one hour,
and you have made them equal to us,
who bore the day’s burden and the heat.’
He said to one of them in reply,
‘My friend, I am not cheating you.
Did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage?
Take what is yours and go.
What if I wish to give this last one the same as you?
Or am I not free to do as I wish with my own money?
Are you envious because I am generous?’
Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.”- Mathew 20:1-16

Our Lord is the king of our life and is reigning in our hearts. WHY HAVE WE MADE JESUS OUR KING? WHAT IS OUR BASIS AND AIM? Is it for some benefits or a status or to justify our actions or out of sincere Love?

If it is the pure and sincere love to our saviour that we follow Him,then there wont be questions in our life to others..but we will be only satisfied in His voice. There wont be episodes of justifications for our actions because we wont be able to compromise anything for His love.There wont be stubbornness or unsatisfactions or rushes to daily work or to stand for Him because we will be perfectly used by Him in His mission according to His plans. We become the change,transforming and living ,following Christ,who lives for accomplishing Gods will- the christian in heart full in grace hope and faith.

But if our basis is not love..we rarely will transform as Christian in heart..ending in so called practicing christian. We will work day long or life long for God,doing this and that to satisfy us that we are doing something for God. But left aimless or unsatisfied or complaining like the workers comparing others..because we fail to renew ourselves or change ourselves or submit for God to use us. As pope said"evangilisation is a consequence not a programme".

The change should start from within us. Feeding and nourishing on Gods words..every moment in awareness that God is our authority(prayer),talking to Him and doing everything in submission to His plan. Living in Christ-likeness. This is the fuel to blaze the fire in us forever if this fuel is not there at first the fire will be large but later the worlds pressure turns it to coal. It is this change that mold us to reflect in ourselves,our relations,society,works..

Lets reflect our inner minds. Find and nurture true love for God in us realizing the depth of His love for us..and do everything in His love for His glory in His will..empowering Lord as king with a sincere heart.

Prayer

Thank you Lord for your amazing love. Help us to realize the depths of Your love, grow and transform ourselves in your love; ever growing in your love by flowing it to others. We will be satisfied only when your love fills us and when we live for'thy will be done"

Amen.

God bless you abundantly to share abundantly in everything....

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.As it is written, “He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor;his righteousness endures forever.” He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.-2 Corinthians-10

 Jesus said to his disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be.The Father will honor whoever serves me.”- John 12:24-26

 Blessed the man who fears the LORD,who greatly delights in his commands.His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be blessed.Well for the man who is gracious and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice;He shall never be moved; the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.An evil report he shall not fear;his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear till he looks down upon his foes. Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need. - Psalms-9 

we are nourished each moment by our Lord with the Living word,love,care,sacrifice, patience...reflect in our day the daily providence of our Lord.. Lets give ,what we are nourished by God to the needy.....this giving can crush us pain us or get us into a disturbed state..that the flesh in us cannot tolerate...but the strength of God in us can..hence lets seek His strength which conquered all in this world..with Him all things are possible. But instead "Whoever loves his life loses it,".. Lets be ready to be like the grain.. "unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,it remains just a grain of wheat;but if it dies, it produces much fruit."Lets do this with happiness and not by compulsion..we can tune our mind to be a generous unselfish giver by building trust in Our Lord.. "God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work"He bless us abundantly to share....give love to receive more love..share more to break the selfish mind..

 Prayer 

Thank you lord for giving us this beautiful message..we pray humbly by submitting ourselves unto You..mold us like You..our hate with your love,our pride with your humbleness.. replace our weaknesses with Your strength..so that we give happily to others and we give You in all that we give.. Amen 

Try to discover our weaknesses in each of our actions,submit in Holy Mass..as we receive His Body and Blood lets receive Lords Strength in each..slowly uniting with Our Lord each time..

God Chooses the Ineligible

“when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”- Luke 5:8

Simon Peter was fed up with all the nights work as it turned unfruitful. After the rushes of his efforts, Simon Peter was washing the nets to set off. He might be having a heavy heart of complaints and concerns of an unsatisfied effort in the deep far sea. He might be reflecting upon the wastefulness of a night with a hope set to next night but without a guarantee in success.

This is when Jesus intervened. He asked Simon,

“Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” - Luke 5:4-5

Simon Peter tried this chance because He was facing a failure and His unfruitful efforts reflected on Him

When he submitted to try as Jesus said,

“When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.”- Luke 5:6-8

The futility of human efforts was turned into a surplus catch when Jesus intervened. This made Simon realize his nothingness and ineligibility, he confessed;

“But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” Luke 5:8

Here appears the amazing plan of Our Lord, immersed in His mercy and love for His children,

“Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” -Luke 5:10

This touch of living word melts the hard crust of earth

“The Lord, God of hosts, he who touches the earth and it melts,”-Amos 9:5

Even though the catch of fish was beyond his imagination and could have brought him good fortune in world, he left all of them and followed Jesus. “When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him”- Luke 5:11

This is how Lord chooses us.

In the life of this world we wander in its rushes, we do many things that keeps us happy and content but still go for more because we are never satisfied. This is the coarse of the regular worldly life. A search for satisfaction. In this journey, we often come across a check point were we breakdown as a response from the world. This is when we look into us and reflect our past efforts. In the rushes we blast out but in silence our inner self reflects to us.

The self reflection brings out the unrighteous, impatient ways that we went through, the unfruitful efforts we made. The wound that it inflicted on us and the wounds that we inflicted on others, the selfish motives, proud approaches and painful separations. We realize, we are defeated by this world. This is when we realize Our Lord. All the time He was near us, but we were busy that we missed His presence. But when are lonely now, lost and depressed, we hear this silent call from our Lord. “I call you in your ineligibility”

He says, “I chose you because of your ineligibility. I am building you as My house, to shelter many. You -the house may loose its paint, or may get affected by fungus turning you black, you may be exposed to severe weather but DO NOT BE AFRAID, I am seeing You. Just expose your damages to Me, I shall repair you with my mercy and paint you with my Love. Your maintenance may cause you to suffer a bit, but it is for your good, to renew you and purify you again, so that you are built and maintained in perfection. But the thing you must do, is perfect submission by accepting Me as your master, never hide your patchworks, expose your damages to Me, so that I can refurbish you and use you for many. So that along with you I save many.”

When He say this to us, we feel the warm touch of love in our heart, no matter how we are God needs us, He loves us and wishes to envelope us with His love and purify us with His mercy. This melts us, our hard hearts, to flow like a stream and join the fathoms of love and mercy of Lord. Our submission not only saves us, but many through us. This is the perfect satisfaction and it is everlasting and ever increasing.

But If we fail to submit our self to Lord, our efforts will go in vain”.

“Unless the Lord builds the house,

those who build it labor in vain.” -Psalms 127:1

“(For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. Christ, however, was faithful over God’s house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.” -Hebrews 3:4-6

Let us submit all our efforts and past life to the caring hands of God, lets accept Him as our Lord and Master, Confess all our damages to Him as and when it appears, let Him envelope us with His mercy and love and thus we are built for Him and whom He gives us. Leave all our worldly surplus supplies and follow Him, let Him use us fruitfully.

For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. -1 Corinthians 1:25

Prayer

Thank you Lord for loving us unconditionally.

We cry out to You oh Lord, we are not worthy, we are ineligible. Even though we knew You, we fail in our submissions unto You. Cleanse us, we expose us to You, envelop us in Your unending Love and mercy. Build us as Your house in Your perfection for You mission. Thank You Lord for speaking to us today. Thank You for filling us with Your spirit and renewing us towards Your hope and strength.

Hail Mary, full of grace. Our Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us, sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
