Aftermath - Many times our ways are not the ways God intended, even if our ways carry the best intentions and are good ways.




Aftermath - Many times our ways are not the ways God intended, even if our ways carry the best intentions and are good ways.
God has domain over the whole universe and so there is no minuscule creature on earth that can upset His will, without paying a very high price of solitude and despair, of true defeat and alienation for defying His will. That is why incredibly powerful empires and kingdoms have succumbed after choosing the wrong paths and finding themselves at that disgraceful point of no return.
God, our creator, is the truth and love is His way, and we must follow Him with humility and forgiveness. Thus, anyone that is looking only after their own convenience or after satisfying their own ambitions and selfishness, always end up destroying themselves, even if on appearance, they seem to have gotten everything. Unfortunately for them, life on earth is finite and short and the true judgement for eternal life is before only our One and only living God, the only justice, the almighty and omnipotent loving God.

Jesus the only Son of God is the word who brought us our salvation and He is the path, the only way and he requires from us to be individuals with identity, and to be fruitful by loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, after loving God with all our hearts and intensity. Prosperity is growing and multiplying, not our material gains, but in our human dimension, in our dignity, as creatures of God.
Loving is giving never expecting to receive anything in return or as retribution, love is not a negotiation. Those who give, expecting to gain something; are condemning themselves as their intention is only to provide themselves, despite the suffering of their friends and neighbors. Loving is not to force others to love but to show love so that others can find the truth. The history and triumph of the Church is in that path of martyrdom and sacrifice, and when some have failed to deliver, the damage has been much more impacting, as the enemy, the damned one, the angel of evil, will always be there ready to profit from the misguided that fall under their own selfishness. One of the devil’s main weapons is confusion, because it is confusion what grows in the souls of those who try to see profit and nothing profit from any actions or paths they take.  
There is always light before us, to follow, if we can only put aside our ambitions and selfishness and focus on the blessing we have received from our Creator, of being created to His image and likeness, on our dignity as human beings, on the precious gifts we have from Him, of life and freedom. To fight for them can involve sacrifice and even death of the body, but to win is to preserve the purity of the soul.
Peace will never be avoiding conflict or controversy but engaging the truth, of love, with humility and forgiveness, with faith, hope and forgiveness.
Looking forwards will always be promising when God is with us, when Jesus is there to guide our steps and find our way, through so much unfairness and injustice, specially against the less fortunate and the most innocent between us, who are massacred in the name of selfishness, from politicians and from people who have conceded to their ambitions and greed, letting the innocent to be murdered so that they can maybe, perhaps, enjoy some potential new life in the darkness of evil.
God bless our ways and provide us with the strength to continue the fight, for truth, peace and prosperity, from the individual to society, for life and freedom, gifts only coming from God not governments, systems or anything invented by humans, with dignity as He has created us all.
Faith not fear, hope, not despair, charity, not selfishness.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

A matter of life or death

Maybe I am the only one in Ontario, ‘experiencing’ a confrontation with the 407ETR corporation, or maybe not. So far it seems the fact is that I am not, that many out there are subjected to billing from the corporation. No, I am not saying unfair, discriminatory or any of the kind, but I am going to say, unsupported and unsubstantiated. The issue of the matter is that the corporation, for some presumably important reason, is blessed by the province of Ontario to have the ability to stop the licensing of any individual who fail to pay the corporation anything they ask for even if they apparently, are not able to support with facts what they claim.
