Obey, do not delay

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Obedience is prompt action ,not prolonged hesitation.

Obedience as I’ve always told you require immediate action, not prolonged hesitation. What happens if you disobey? Grace is delayed to someone in need and you don’t receive the blessings that ought to be yours, if you have just obeyed.

Hesitating means you don’t trust the One who is giving you the orders, that you are proud of yourself in thinking you deserve a better assignment. Just like Jonah, the prophet from Nineveh in the Old Testament, do not take it upon yourself to choose your assignment. Obey what is ordered and do not question why I have given you such an assignment. What counts is your obedience, not your queries for you don’t have the right to ask them of Me.

Who are your true friends?

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

True friends are hard to find

Cherish those who’ve never left your side

Through poverty and ill health

Who’ve stand by you

They are gems

More precious than

Diamonds and gold

Message for Oct. 26, 2011.

The only way you will know who are your true friends is when tragedy strikes you leaving you with nothing.  Those who will stay by your side and support you through your struggles are those who really care, but those who keep away were fair weather friends.

Sometimes, you will find friends that you thought were just acquaintances when you are down, treasure them because they will not leave your side. Friends made when one is down, are the friends who will stay with you when you go up, provided you don’t change and give them up for new friends now that you are up again.

Money and position draw strange friends and only when without them, will you know of your friends’ true worth.  

Wisdom

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Wisdom flees the proud mind

It hides itself from the selfish

The wise are those who live life

Full of love, compassion and care

Message for Oct. 25, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wisdom is not gained through books and universities alone, wisdom is gained through living. When you live life and see it through several perspectives that are not just for your self interest, you will learn so much from it and be wise. Selflessness open up yourself for the needs and feelings of each other, while selfishness makes you think only of yourself. How can you learn and be wise from a self centered behavior?

To be wise, you have to know and understand the experience of others and apply it to yourself. A narrow, shortsighted mind doesn’t grow and improve itself because it doesn’t allow itself to grow, being content of what it has, it’s world revolving around itself alone. Do you think that’s good? No, you don’t learn how to live life by just focusing on yourself alone, you have to interact and be with people, in that way you will grow and become wise.

The mystics are not wise, because they isolate themselves, they are wise because they are keen observers of what is going on around them. They know how to listen, in the stillness of their hearts, the voice of wisdom calls. But, not even all mystics have gained true wisdom, when you become so proud of your stature, wisdom is hidden from you. You should be humble to become wise.  

Missing you, Father

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

I miss you, Father

How I long for thee

Honor thy father and thy mother. Yes, that is a commandment from the Old Testament , but it is still applicable up to now until forever.  But,  if they themselves are not worthy to be honored because of abuses against you and your siblings, their daily interactions with the community, what will you do? Destroy them before the eyes of others? No, you don’t have the right to judge them, even if you think they are evil and cruel, it is not you who should judge or punish them.

Keep your hands clean of any evil deeds, no one has the right to judge another person because you are all sinners. Leave it up to Me. Pray fervently that you will have more love for your parents even though how hateful they have become in your eyes.  Yes, pray for love to suffuse your being and do not let the evil one triumph with his dirty plans.

Family massacres have become common nowadays, why? Because family members stopped caring for each other. They view their responsibilities as a burden and do it, not out of love but because it is expected of them. To compound that problem, family members just expect and take for granted the responsibilities each one has for each other. When everyone takes each other for granted, then expect discontent and dissatisfaction to surface. The lack of appreciation eats at the heart of those laboring for their family and remains unappreciated for their effort.

Know that your efforts are not unnoticed, no, it will never be.

Continue giving and loving, that is the essence of Christian love. It is difficult, yes, it is very difficult, but the reward will be great. When you triumph over the evil one’s temptations, your  fortitude will enrich your character. Each trial, each triumph makes you a better person.

Don’t ever stoop down to the level of rudeness or evil that your are being tempted with. Like a red cloth to a raging bull, that’s how the evil one works. Walk away, keep silent and pray.  Don’t instigate a bitter misunderstanding by speaking words that you will regret later. It is better to just walk away and pray for strength and love to permeate your embattled spirit.

Sleep, our body needs rest

Eight hours at the most

To recuperate from the day’s  loss

Deep sleep at  night

For our body to  rejuvenate

Message for Oct. 20, 2011

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Sleep deprivation is common nowadays because of different work schedules to maximize productivity and profit. What a different world, men has made for themselves, enriching their pockets but draining their bodies.  For some, it is the only means to earn an income so despite the inconvenience and ill health effects, they just continue otherwise they and their families will starve.

Sadly, I don’t have a better solution for that because that is how the modern world has evolved. My advice is that you nourish your body with good nutrition to compensate for what is naturally lost due to lack of sleep and the disruption of the body system which on it’s own produces hormones, enzymes and nutrients that is right for the body’s metabolism.

Exercise is also important, don’t forget to make it a part of your daily routine, especially if your work confines you to your desk and the computer. Tone your muscles with exercise to keep it supple and the circulation routes open. Take good care of your body, it is My temple.

Deep breathing exercises will calm you down, try it to de-stress yourselves and say with every inhalation, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus come to me” and with every exhalation, “take all the conflicts in me.”

Don’t allow stress to affect your day and your health because all these negativity will affect your body system. Learn how to get rid of those unnecessary ill feelings to avoid getting sick. Prioritize things that should be done, so that it won’t crowd you in, making you flustered and harassed with all the demands you allow yourself to be subjected to. Learn how to delegate some responsibilities to others, prioritize those that needs immediate attention and let the other chores wait for another day.

Don’t let others dictate how you should spend your day. Take control of your life, you are answerable to no one but Me!

Losing Life in Gaining Dreams

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Life is meant to be enjoyed

With all it’s flaws there is always pleasure

A healthy body should not be spent

To regain back the health you have squandered

Message for Oct. 18, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Modern life has so many challenges and pressures brought about by modern technology. Man has added more worries to his existence than what is really necessary, which is really comical in a way. If only you can see yourselves from above, the ants are better than you.

You work yourselves too hard, driven by a desire to have what others have, to own all the status symbols of those who are at the top. Houses, cars, gadgets, furniture, all expensive things that drain away what you’ve been slaving for  years. In order to have what you aspire, you push yourself harder to have money in the bank.

Suddenly you get sick, what happens now? Slowly, your savings are spent and if worse comes to worst, your properties too are sold for your medication. Then too late, you will regret how you lost your life to save for your future and your children only to lose it to regain the life that is slowly draining away.

Plan your life well, live in moderation and learn how to be contented with what you can accomplish within reasonable means. Do not aspire for what society dictates you should have. Live simply within your means and truly enjoy life.

The demands for our time and finances are always unpredictable, but do not get rattled when someone suddenly wants your attention. Be kind and patient, always.  Do not be irritated and hurt their feelings unreasonably because they don’t know what you were preoccupied with. Tell them that during praying or working hours for you, they should learn to hold in abeyance their  personal concerns. They should know how to respect those times that you have specifically set as your important hours.

Sometimes, people forget where they are supposed to be and cross the boundaries that you’ve set in your waking hours. Just be clear to them about this. Although being Christian should be marked by being available to others always, there should be respect for each other’s time always because each of you have tasks to accomplish. They should remember that and not usurp your time for their own goals.

Your health should be your first priority among other concerns. Consult your doctor when you notice something irregular happening in your body. Don’t wait until it is too late to be remedied and then you will exhaust all means possible to be cured.  When your body signals an irregularity, listen to it and heed it’s warning.

As always, man is hard headed and foolish with their decisions. They work hard to earn money and then they spend hard to regain back their health. What’s the use of working hard then if you will only spend it and more to cure a tired and spent body?

Do all things in moderation to balance your physical, mental and spiritual health. It is important that you balance everything because stress triggers hormone imbalances that cause a wide range of diseases that are related to your hormone production. You should know your body and understand it’s needs, so you will have a  good, well toned, well nourished, physically healthy body.

A healthy, physical body dictates the health of your mental and spiritual body, so take care of your physical self, so that your mental and spiritual well being will also follow although you have to nourish your mental and spiritual body in a different way.

Debts and payments

When we borrow money

Forgetting promises

Losing friends

Message for Oct. 15, 2011.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Debts, as long as they are paid, won’t affect friendships or relationships. It is when a debt is forgotten and the debtor pretends to forget they owe you something that will ruin trust and friendship. When you are in debt, try to pay on time, but if you can’t, inform your creditor why you can’t settle your debt on the specified time.

Your creditor will understand the first time you will default on your payment and you have notified them about it, but if you continue failing to do so without talking with them, you will lose credibility. 

Helping others by letting them borrow money should not be allowed with interest in payment because you are not really helping them that way. Lend without  interest and pay without fail. It is because of borrowers who don’t honor their words, that moneylenders got the idea of putting interest in the money they lend out because if they don’t, they will lose their hard earned money. Although, there are some who have usurious rates, there are others  whose interest are just enough, like the interest that they will get if they have deposited their money in the bank which is not a safe institution for savings nowadays.

Honor your words when you borrow money from someone and you won’t find yourself desperately looking for those who will help you when you are in dire need. Trust in one another is important, preserve that trust by being credible, honest and sincere.

Don’t waste your hard earned money on non-essentials, spend your money wisely and remember that there are so many without it. Be prudent in spending, so that it will not just go to waste.

When you have money, always remember to give a tenth of it to Me through your church or any charitable organizations.  In that way,  you are giving thanks and acknowledging that I am the source of your strength and talents. Giving back is always beneficial for the giver because in return I will continue to shower him with more graces, for the person who gives or the source of the gift is happy that he is remembered.

I am the giver who cannot be out given, so I will grant you more blessings through your health, family, work and friends.  Don’t be stingy or refuse to give tithes because it will just return back to you a hundredfold. Go and share this news that has been forgotten or ignored. Don’t keep a part of your earnings that is not yours, share it, give it back to the source of your gifts.

Don’t  be anxious if your time is not spent on what you want to do for the day.  Sometimes, there are domestic chores that you have to attend to and you must do it wholeheartedly without arguing and getting envious of others who don’t have similar distractions.  That is your path, it is your task, so do it well and joyfully so it won’t cause stress to your system.

Being stressed is doing something that you rather would not do, but forced to do because there is no one else to do the job.  In that case, the task is really yours, so do it well. Time flies swiftly and so does life, the attention you gave to a person and how you made them feel at a certain moment of their life will be remembered, treasured or scorned depending on your attitude at that time. 

Make good memories of how you spend your time with everyone for you never know if it will be the last for you or for them.  Spend time wisely, yes, but there is none much wiser than spending quality time with your loved ones because you never know when they will be taken from you.

Your identity will be remembered by the things you did well while you were still alive. Strive to do something that will make a distinction that is solely yours. Everyone has a chance to distinguish themselves in the role that they have, be it small or big and you can stand out by the way you give credence to the part that is entrusted to you.

Do not aspire for bigger responsibilities first, thinking you can excel yourself when you are there.  Start small and aim high. Do good at small tasks and then you will be entrusted with bigger tasks as you accomplish them well. There is no one who triumphed at the top, who didn’t succeed first at minor triumphs below.

Don’t try to jump over these minor obstacles because they are learning points for you and are essential and useful for the bigger challenges ahead.  Who knows how to skip rope without experiencing false jumps and tangled ropes first? You have to excel at the basics of every job or game or whatever endeavor you are starting before you can move on to the next level.

No one goes directly to the top level and moves down to first level. Have you heard of someone doing that? Master the basics first, while aiming for the top.

Proper Prayer

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Lord, I pray not for my wishes

To be granted as I want them to

But that my will be attuned to yours

And accept that Your will, not mine

Is always what is best

Message for Oct. 11, 2011.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The right way to pray is always to allow Me to do My will, not try to manipulate Me into doing what you are asking by bombarding Me with prayers, novenas, fasting, offering Holy Mass etc. with the help of  intercessors and prayer warriors. It is foolish to “storm the heavens”  with prayers for your intentions on the assumption that the longer you pray,  your petitions will be granted according to your expectations. 

Do not dictate or coerce Me to do your wishes, you are only My servants although I regard you as My children. Be aware of how different our perspective on things are, I view all things through eternity and for everyone, but your viewpoint is limited to your immediate needs and wants, your assumed future which is not guaranteed, your family, your relatives and close friends only.

Bear in mind that the consequence of whatever  you do in your lifetime will affect so many people for generations without  you knowing  it. So when you ask for something, always say at the end, “Your will be done, not mine.”  

In that way, you are acknowledging that I am your God and Creator and entrusting your life to Me in complete surrender. Trust Me, My will for you is always for your good which will be beneficial to others too for a long time.

Never, ever fall for the evil one’s snare when he uses your loved ones to distract you. Your family and those that are close to your heart are the best instruments to use to pull you from your assigned path. Have you noticed  how easily you lose focus of your work when someone in the family is “acting up” or demanding attention?

Sometimes or most of the time, they don’t know that they have been used by the evil one to destroy the path of someone close to their goal. Surely you have observed by now  that whenever you feel you have gained a milestone in your search for righteousness, someone will try to drag you back to where you earlier started. Do not despair, this is the truth for all of you, My disciples.

It is a constant struggle of getting up and starting all over again for the evil one is in constant lookout for those who are particularly earnest in their desire to follow Me.  It fills him with delight every time you stumble, to hear you curse and lash at the persons who have caused you to do so, who are unaware that they too were used by the evil one. So much glee in their camp to see My children quarreling especially those who are prayerful and almost near their goal.

Don’t fall into their trap, struggle more and call on the name of Jesus so that they will flee from you. The name of Jesus will cause them to shriek away so fast with tails between their legs.  Do not forget there are plenty of them to taunt you and to disturb you, they can and will do everything to ruin your focus and to make you lose your cool.

Arm yourself well with My love and cover yourself with the blood of My Son’s sacrifice for because of Him, He has conquered everyone from the evil one’s snares. You only have to resist the temptation and remember that he has no power over you now, but he will keep on trying. Sadly, there are still a lot of My children who don’t understand the meaning of My Son’s victory and are still victimized by false promises and sweet deals. Beware then!

Parental obligations, is as I’ve said earlier a shared responsibility of siblings, not a sole responsibility of a brother or sister.  If there is only one doing the work for all, then the others should support financially or physically so as not to place undue burden to the sibling looking after their parents. But, if the rest of the siblings does not share in the financial expenses and in caring for their parents, the blessings of this noble role goes to the one who had sacrificed their comfort to be able to look  after their aging parents.

Do not despair if the burden seems to be greater than your capacity to endure sacrifice for a parent. Treat them well, even if they seem unappreciative of what you are doing. Persevere in doing what is good and think of Me, offer it all to Me.  That is the only way for you to bear the uncalled for malice and criticism that sometimes they may say to you. 

Think of the Holy Virgin Mary, offer it to her too. We look kindly on those who are serving their parents well. Your reward will be in heaven, My children.  Do not despair, do not hate your mother or your father for being a burden to you now.  Think of what they did to you when you were still young.  Their physical limitations are frustrating them and they knowingly or unknowingly vent their helplessness to those who are with them constantly.

It may be a miserable situation, but you just have to endure and love them more. You can do it, My children think of what My Son endured for all of you and you will realize that your sacrifice is so small compared to His. A good and loving Christian shows love even in an unappreciated and difficult situation.

What should be the proper dress code when you attend Holy Mass? When you attend social functions or gatherings of importance, do you wear casual clothes like shorts, T-shirts, slippers  and look just like you were going to a mall or worst going to a wet market? It has been my observation that church goers do not give importance to the sanctity of My place of worship and the holiness of the Mass.

Is it not a very important occasion to see your Creator, Provider, Healer and everything that I am to  everyone? Can there be someone more  important, more powerful, more wealthy than I am? Isn’t it true that in the off chance that you will meet someone important in a party you are going to attend, you will dress to impress? I must be a lowly beggar to you then, if you come to My house dressed as if you were just going to meet someone of no importance.  

If you truly value Me, you will attend Holy Mass in your Sunday best, which may not be new and expensive, but in a presentable attire befitting to meet your King!

Delays are not always causes for concern and irritation, because sometimes it may be a blessing or a distraction so you won’t be in a place or a situation where you ought not to be in. Do not get angry for small delays or inconveniences, use it as a break to talk to Me, a gap or a breather to de-stress yourself from the tension of the moment.

Don’t become so obsessed with time or catching up with it because time by itself just moves smoothly, following it’s own rhythm.  No one can stop time, but Me and when your time stops, it means you are no longer alive, so don’t be in a hurry to meet the end of your time.

Make good use of your time, but don’t make it your master.  Manage your time well, but don’t let it manage you well instead. Go with the rhythm of time, don’t go against it because it is futile.  Time always moves forward, never looking back or resetting itself, so follow it, be forward minded.

What is past is past, an irrevocable past. What is important is the present moment, which also becomes quickly a past when the moment is gone. Look forward always, believing in My promise that I will always be there to provide for your every need all the time!

You trust someone when you have experienced their care and responsibility for you. And in return, you should return their care with utmost confidence that they won’t lead you to harm no matter what.

What happens when despite everything a person did, you are suspicious of their motives?  Always questioning, always in doubt? When you return care with distrust, the person who had been serving you well  will one day leave you to yourself.

Be careful of how you treat the persons around you, value their respect, their time in serving you, even though they are being paid because a loyal and trusted servant is hard to find.

Do not judge people with malice and suspicion in your heart because you will always doubt their sincerity. Be kind always and you will receive kindness and loyalty in return.

So many people pretend to seek My will for them when they in fact know already in their hearts what it is. The reluctance to do their assignments make them act as if they don’t know My will yet because they want to follow their own will rather than mine because for them it is more attractive and productive.

Stubborn headed children, they pretend to seek My will and do another because in their limited comprehension what I set out for them is inferior to what they aspire for themselves. When they fail, they come kneeling and praying beseeching for My help promising to do what I say but only for awhile and then they will set out to do things differently again.  

Is it any wonder there are so many miserable people? You all know what will please Me, but you resist because you want to be your own master, forgetting that you are all My servants.

Follow Me and do the tasks that you have neglected and refused, and soon everything will fall into place.

Faith and trust, how important these two are for you to live close to My heart. I know it is difficult to have faith in someone whom you haven’t seen and doubly hard to trust too. But my children don’t see Me with their eyes, they see Me with their hearts, that is why the heart should be continually cleaned of evil  designs to see Me clearly.

What happens if the heart is dirtied with evil emotions and desires? The way you see Me will be affected by these thoughts, instead of love you will view the world with hatred, pessimism, skepticism and violence.  A heart  that is devoid of these negative feelings, feel My love and radiates back My love to the persons they encounter.

Do you remember Pope John Paul II? His presence reflected the inner peace and love in his heart that came from Me. If you are a person who strive to be holy and righteous and pray for it, you will achieve that peace and inner calm too and people will notice.

Mother Teresa  with her frailness, exuded strength even if she was already so old and tiny. Her strength and inner peace came from Me.  Choa Kok Sui was different too, he radiated healing power which won’t be possible for persons with evil thoughts. There are a lot of people whose presence radiates the gift I gave to them, these are extraordinary people indeed.

Do you think if they were on their own, they were capable of that? No, belief in Me placed faith and trust in their hearts and they believing that I am with them exuded what  I am – love, peace, strength. They were full of  faith and trust that I will always be with them to help, guide and strengthen them with the tasks they were assigned to do, which were always to help people have better lives in every stage of their journey.

Pope John Paul II touched the hearts of so many youths, Choa Kok Sui the middle age range, Mother Teresa tended the sick and dispossessed, the end stage. Like them each of you have assignments to reach other people at particular stages of their lives. It is important that you prepare for it by watching your hearts, so I will be enthroned there always.

When your duties and responsibilities overwhelm you, it means you are taking so many chores for yourself.  Delegate some of them to others. Filial responsibility should be shared by siblings, not entrusted to only one. Let the others be aware of their responsibility too!

Focus on your work, offer it to Me so that you will be determined to do your best even if it seems to be trying at times.

Expressing condolence

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Condolence is hard to express

Let your presence convey

That their sorrow is shared

That you care …

When you comfort a friend who had just lost a loved one, just press their hands and whisper, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus” and my healing and comforting presence will course to them through you.

Don’t say awkward words that really don’t bring comfort to the bereaved and makes you uncomfortable. Then seat quietly to pray for the dead that their journey towards Me will be unhampered with their reluctance to leave their earthly existence because of concern for their families.

Being in a wake is uncomfortable because grieving is purely within the constraints of your familiarity and closeness to the deceased and their families.  Sometimes, wakes serve as a joyful but tearful reunion when the departed is remembered with their escapades.

Whatever  it will turn out to be, just remember that your presence brought comfort for the family because by being there, by taking the time off from your daily activities, you are telling them that you care and they are special to you.

Go and comfort friends in their saddest hour and you will have friends for life.

Always be near Me

Grace, mercy and peace to you.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Come to me

I need you always

Stay not far from me

Don’t allow the busyness of your day to stop you from seeking My guidance. You may not have time to kneel down or sit down quietly for an hour, but if you call on Me silently in your mind all throughout the day for guidance, enlightenment, strength or whatever, it will do for Me. 

What is important is including Me in your daily life.  Seeking Me makes Me very happy because it means you have not forgotten Me in the hustle and bustle of your day.

Whisper  with these words, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus” and you will be strengthened and enlightened by My presence through the Holy Spirit.
