Pray, Hope And Don't Worry(July2011)

Let the Holy Spirit act within you. Give yourself up to all his transports and have no fear.
He is so wise and gentle and discreet that he never brings about anything but good.
How good this Holy Spirit, this Comforter, is to all, but how supremely good he is to those who seek him.
- St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Why confess your sins ? Is Living In Fear Good For Us ?

CONFESS YOUR SINS, BUT . . .

Never let your past sins be an obstacle between you and Jesus.
It's a ruse of the devil to keep putting our sins before
our eyes in order to make them like a screen between the Saviour and us.
"Think of your past sins to persuade yourself of your weakness; think of them
to confirm your resolution not to fall again
-- that's necessary -- but think of them mainly to bless Jesus for having pardoned you, for having purified you,for having cast all your sins to the bottom of the sea. Do not go looking for them at the bottom of the sea! He has wiped them out;
He has forgotten them. I'm not saying that you believe too much in your own wretchedness. I'm telling you that you don't believe enough in merciful love.
God's greatest pleasure is to pardon us. The good Lord is more eager to
pardon a repentant sinner than a mother to rescue her child from the fire.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux

LIVING IN FEAR
Because our lives are completely dependent on the gift of our Creator and
because we lack perfect trust in his love, we live in constant fear of our vulnerability. This fear is so natural that we often don't pay much attention to it. Nevertheless, our thoughts, feelings and actions are constantly influenced by a more or less conscious pursuit of security. The happiness God desires for us involves a freedom from these fears. There are many references to fear or anxiety appear in Scripture. But to free ourselves from these fears we have to first acknowledge and accept our weaknesses, insecurities, and vulnerabilities.
And then begin to accept God's unique plan for each one of us and grow closer to the Father who longs to free us from fear and lead us to perfect happiness.
Lisa Duffy
“Let your hearts not be troubled. Neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27

The Blessed Trinity

TRINITY SUNDAY

The making of the sign of the cross, which
professes faith in the redemption of Christ and in
the Trinity, dates from the earliest centuries.
Before receiving the sacrament of baptism,
Christians respond to a three-part question when
asked to witness their faith in the Father, the
Son and the Spirit by saying "I do." The faith of
all Christians rests on the Trinity.
Christians are baptized in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: not in their
own names, for there is only one God, the
almighty Father, his only Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity.
The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery
of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself.
It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that
enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the
"hierarchy of the truths of faith". The whole history of salvation
is identical with the history of the way and the means
by which the one true God, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles
and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".

Catechism of the Catholic Church 232-234
Prayer to the Holy Trinity

Glory be to the Father,
Who by His almighty power and love created me,
making me in the image and likeness of God.
Glory be to the Son,
Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell,
and opened for me the gates of heaven.
Glory be to the Holy Spirit,
Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism,
and continues to sanctify me
by the graces I receive daily from His bounty. Amen.

SECRET FORMULA TO GOOD HEALTH

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude is one
of the best gifts you can give to yourself and
your children. Like any new skill, it takes
some time, planning and determination.
Gratitude is an antidote to jealousy.
When you start to compare what you
have with what other people have,
thinking about all the things in your life
hat you're grateful for chases away the
green monster of envy.
Gratitude is an antidote to worry.
When you are worried about what might
happen tomorrow, thinking about all the
things you're grateful for today pushes
aside fear of the future.
Gratitude is an antidote to insecurity.
When you feel as if you're not good
enough, thinking about your God-given
gifts and talents helps you to see there is
meaning and purpose in your life.
Gratitude is an antidote to anger. When you are upset with someone you
love, thinking about how grateful you are for the good things about this
person helps makes you want to patch things up.
Gratitude is an antidote to sadness. When you feel down, an attitude of
gratitude for all the good things in your life chases the blues away.
Gratitude is an antidote to stress. When you feel as if you can't cope,
thinking about how grateful you are for everything that is going well in your
life helps to restore a sense of peace.

Here are some things that you can do to make you and your family people
of gratitude:
At breakfast and bedtime, encourage everyone in the family to thank God for
the special people in your lives.
At dinnertime, encourage every member of the family to mention one thing
that made them feel grateful during the day.
Make a list of the things in your lives that you are grateful for. Write each
thing on a slip of paper and create a gratitude jar. Encourage everyone in the
family to draw a slip from the jar whenever they are having a bad day.
Encourage your children to be grateful for the gift of nature, the air we
breathe, the light of the sun, and the beauty of the stars.
Teach your children that good manners are an expression of gratitude.
Saying thank you and, even, please are important ways to let people know
that you are grateful.
This approach will help you begin to see yourself, other people, the world
around you and the God that made you in a new and exciting way.
Gratitude will transform your life and your new attitude will become one more thing that you can be grateful for !

What has become with "Weddings,Traditions, Reception " ?

Weddings are supposed to be happy moments for the couple as well as the guests that are invited to
share this great day that brings joy to the couple where at the same time it recalls those whom are
married their own Wows which they made when they've made the decision to do so.
It is for most families a religious event that God Blesses The Union to become One.

It is the other rib that the God took from Adam when He created a women which we all know as Eve.
I just do not understand our younger generation how they do not focus in putting God in first place when
this event occurs. Especially that when you get married most often is to have a family with children that are
grown in a blessed holy home. The couple would grow as the children with good moral and values to help them become more fulfilled and accomplished even when the hard times arises.

I noticed these lots of couples want traditional weddings, I mean the reception at the expense of the guests because in most Italian weddings as a witness, they do not want gifts, just cash, this is bizarre for me. They invite you, and then if something should go wrong, because of job loss, or financial loss, instead of saying come over do not worry your presence is which I value the most, it has become if you can"t afford it do not come. I would personally would go out of my way to find what I can do to attend this reception. An Italian reception will have a wedding with more food that goes wasted that is not even eaten, that they can cut down, and make the reception to accommodate every one within their means. Especially, these days when we  live in society with a recession where the economy is bad or people starving.  

I know of French way of having a wedding and reception as witness because my husband is French. They invite with the simplest and down to earth wedding ceremony.  A reception with just down to earth menu, that at the same time we can attend, they value anything you give. I am happy, if it were for me just having a wedding reception meal example: with a soup, salad, BBQ chicken reception and the desert the wedding cake with ice-cream. This is simple and just perfect. My grandparents in the past, had reception this way and we were all happy, I wonder why the Italian reception tradition has changed.

Is to show off their friends? Is is to because it is once they get married have it all the way ?
Is because of all the hard work of bringing their kids up that they can splurge to
give them the biggest wedding of a Prince and Princess ?

It used to be the parents of the Bride would pay the reception and home furnishing would be the Grooms parents. Now, these traditions has changed for both nationality as a witness, because most often parents of the bride or groom are split often divorced. This makes it harder to accommodate their siblings. Really it is up to the couple whom is getting married to work and manage their own wedding and reception, unless their parents will pitch in, that is up to the individual's family's rights.

We are united in One God, the Word Of God from the bible states: Love your Neighbor as Yourself or Love Your Neighbor As I have Loved You, means the first love is shared with your partner which is your husband and those of your children which makes the union Blessed and A Stronger One. A marriage with no God does not work because it can be destructive that can lead to corruption to destroy the relationship that is intended to love till the end, as we say in the WoWs, till death do us part. Leads most often to divorce that we see these days, where our children are faced with, that have to deal two fathers and two mothers when marriage goes wrong, especially while our kids our still young. It affects their growth and loosing that touch of a real family that sweats together through all the trials of life. You take them as God gives them to you, all you have to do is love and endure with preservation, because we do not know what He holds for us in this walk of life. It is like a rose that has thorns and at the end of it their is the beautiful grown rose that has flourished with accomplishment and fulfilled with love.

Marriage is based on trust and less jealousy. Too much jealousy is no good, giving space to one another, putting the full trust in your partner, is the best you can give in a relationship to last forever. Also,
the dialogue with each other is the best we can offer, which the best tip is to write a love note to each other every day is a great idea. As I would suggest, a positive attitude with each other is a great way to let the relationship grow and live happier.

This is my point of view of weddings that I witnessed these days from my dearest closest relatives.

Our World Has Become With A Lesser God

I am always wondering what will happen with our new generations with no prayer in our schools because it is all taken away from them. The privilege and the freedom to pray is taken away everywhere these days. Although, their is a mixed religions society we all have a God, a Light, A Higher Being, A Higher Power to respond to, they would still will need to take moments of the day to pray whether an individual or a group. Even though there is controversy with this situation, I know as a witness that for generations passed people were more generous and giving. They ready to take and give.

I know that in our school days, we did not start our day with our Sign of the Cross or evening a little meditation before starting our daily tasks. It was a good lesson for me to know that when I was tested or in trouble, I know that I place my trust in God as the First Person to ask to help me with any requests asked and with His Time and Will, He will grant me whatever  I ask in Faith and Love for Him First. You know my life has had rocky times with all kinds of trials and with this grace that I had in me, I am able to move on, because I know that God Blesses us every moment of our life, it is just recognizing it and give Him thanks and Praises for all the wonders that occurs on our daily basis. Our work place was a place where the owners would always recompense the employees with something better with acknowledgement of their profits due to the hard working employees.

Have you noticed that there is more increases in violence and other horrible things happened since the decrease of prayer in our schools, it is where our growing foundation starts just like home. Schools was
the place where parents couldn't always reach out to the child with all needs. This is where schools would play the role in educating them spiritually with real values and morals. If the child is threatened at home at least the school was a place to learn that He or She can pray and place all their trust in God, so that He can provide answers spoken silently in their souls. There is in everyone of us that Voice that speaks to us, it is just
a matter of allowing His Holy Spirit fill us an answer within us with guidance and providence in whatever we need. He provides with assurance in His Full Mighty Power and Love.

Love is the key to all answers.
Prayer never hurts anyone, He will enlighten
and brings within us the awareness
that God Always Love Us Unconditionally.

Maria
