The power of love


Love is giving not expecting anything in return.

Love is our direct connection to God. Nobody that rejects love or refuses love can reach salvation. Love is happiness because it does not require of anything but a will and a commitment.
Love can only be of an individual. There is no institution that can replace the power of the individual to love. Love is what bonds a marriage in the complete delivery of one to the other.
A loving family is a family where members are bonded by that spirit of giving, not expecting anything in return.
A loving human being is a person that gives unconditionally.
Love can only be in the presence of the truth.
God is love and it is what maintains that connection with God, that intimate relationship each and everyone of us has with our creator.
When we look at the problems currently impacting our world we must see as it is p0resented before our eyes, the truth. Only what belongs to our identity and individuality, our dignity as human beings is really important. Material losses are never important unless they are of any direct impact to human suffering.
On current times the problem is characterized as lost of faith, which is not equivalent of faith having lost its truth, but rather the abandonment of faith being the foundation of our fears.
When human beings become convinced that it is more important to survive than to think, or than  to be, humans forsake their condition of children of God to become children of selfishness.
When human beings consider that peace is something disconnected from the truth, peace is not achieved, but rather slavery of an illusion, a dependency.
The two most recognized systems in the political world, collectivism, on each and every shape and form, and capitalism, distant us from love because the former, is in its own definition loss of humanity in favor of a collective body, while the later, because of its strict dependency in finances it becomes yet another flavor of collectivism as bad as any of the other.
Common good is strictly associated to social justice and either must be only a consequence of love, of our relationship to God our creator.
Common good is to see each person in his/her own individuality, identity and dignity, loving that person.
Social justice is that common good in society. Social justice is assuming responsibility of the gifts God has provided us with and using them for the benefit of our neighbors and peers, with love, for the common good.
The individuality, dignity, and identity of the human person, starts at conception through natural death and it is to be respect along the way particular the most fragile and less gifted.
Human beings are weak because of the original sin and thereby we are all mortal and Jesus have shown us through His sacrifice on the Cross, incarnation, passion and death the way to eternal life.
The true God has made Himself evident to us all because of His love and because of it, keeps seeking us, looking for our hearts to be opened to Him to engage in that lost love to rise again.
The problem of our times, as on many other instances in history, is that selfishness have been allowed too much power, forgetting our own humanity. If we apply only a bit of love to our circumstances we will see the truth about the so called problems and it will be so much accessible to reach for the only possible solution, love, all we need is to let go our fears and have faith and put the right perspective to any material loss as the temporary circumstance it is.
Faith, through the truth gives hope and love makes it all possible.

When God is offended, should we become violent?

Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.

Common Good

It is often found commentaries that describe common good as extremes of anarchy, as expressions that on one end present a justification for system interference and on the other as an idea of omnipotence over the people who is typically labeled as mediocre and incapable of deciding on their own about their matters and circumstances. However, common good is divine a mandate we all have as individuals; to aim for and to work towards. It is what defines the relationship between science and reason, because a science where its object is to benefit only the self or to enhance the egos of the recipients is what defies reason and so it segregates itself from faith which is what make us creatures of God with dignity, identity and individuality because care exists for our neighbor and peer. Common good cannot be taking or confiscating from some to give to others or to pretend that by robbing from the ones that have to presumably give to the have not, the issue is fairly addressed. On the contra...

He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do

Gospel text ( Jn  6,1-15) :  Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, near Tiberias, and large crowds followed him because of the miraculous signs they saw when He healed the sick. So He went up into the hills and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Then lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw the crowds that were coming to him and said to Philip, «Where shall we buy bread so that these people may  eat ?». He said this to test Philip, for He himself knew what He was going to do. Philip answered him, «Two hundred  silver coins would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece». Then one of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said, «There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?». Jesus said, «Make the people sit down». There was plenty of grass there so the people, about five thousand men, sat down to rest. Jesus then took the loaves, ga...
