My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

IT IS OUR SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT TO LOVE EVERYONE


“‘Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the Law of Moses?’  Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.’”
Matthew 22:36-40
Do not make fun of your brother because of the physical defects he has because you could have worse.
Our wealthy brethren, neither hide nor bury your money because we have many needy brethren. The landowners of the beautiful farms that are filled to the brim with money and don’t know what to do with it, bury it or put it away instead of putting it to good use. They don’t realize the great responsibility that they have with the needy brethren that pullulate here and there. To help the needy is always the will of God, if you ask me. I hope you don’t ignore me, because you could regret it. Don’t be thinking that you’re too good, because in the Holy Presence of God, we’re all the same.

The love of God and the love towards your neighbor are the most beautiful things in life you’ve never known. Don’t make fun of your brother or ignore his need because if you do, there’s no salvation for you (Matthew 25:31-46). It is such a dangerous thing that I want you all to be aware. Don’t despise your brother because that would close the doors of heaven for you. If you lose your eternal life, you’ve lost it all; if you give your life to Satan, he will repay you badly (he will do you evil in turn).
How sweet and wonderful it is to follow the Lord Jesus, who never despises us and is the only one who can save us. To all my friends out there, I beseech you that you go with Him; you’ll never regret it. Thank you for that freedom which you gave to us to go wherever we please. I won’t relent; I’m decided that I will go with you, Father God. I mean, when you’re in love, it is impossible to shut up. You have to say something: Praise the Lord, no end!
Cordially,
Jose Joaquin Agudelo

FAITH


“But without faith it is impossible to please God, because it is necessary that he who approaches God believes that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6

Hello family and friends. Did you know that when God says yes, nobody can say no? He who begins his day in prayer will end it in blessing. So you are going to bear fruit no matter the conditions or circumstances. This is for all of us who trust in the Lord, we must give faith, courage and courage in the heart. Do not forget, everything that goes up in prayer, goes down in blessing. Your heart will touch the sky when your knees hit the ground. God does not make things easy, he makes them possible. To have God is to have everything. Faith is a small word but with great power. Faith has the ability to move God's hand when yours does not have strength. Faith is certainty of what is expected and conviction of what is not seen. Let your faith be greater than your fears. Where it is too deep to walk, faith can swim.
Faith is a choice that must be sought and cultivated. Do not forget, the truth frees you, forgiveness heals you, faith raises you and love makes you happy. Faith is the light that is lit day by day and never allows our sleep to go out. Faith is seeing light with your heart when all that your eyes see is darkness. Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible. Faith is anticipating victory. We should only take steps of faith and thank the miracle before it happens feeling peace in the heart and being sure that God never fails, because in Him we have everything. So if you have happiness, share it; If you have triumphs, go over them and if there is a lot of love in your heart, share it wherever you want to go. God tells you, when you cannot solve your problems, I direct your steps; When you think of impossible things, God tells you, everything is possible for me; When you feel alone, God tells you, I will not forsake you; When you think you do not deserve forgiveness, God tells you, I forgive you; if you say I am afraid, He says to you, I am with you; you say, I am tired, God tells you, I will give you rest; When you think that nobody loves you, God answers you, I love you; When you say I do not know where to go, God tells you, I show you the way.
Do not forget, if there is music in your soul, it will be heard throughout the universe. It is impossible to separate peace from freedom since no one has peace if he is not free. Life is so wise that if we do not learn the lesson, it repeats it to us. The faults that you see in others exist in you. What comes from God always brings peace to your life.
I write this theme so that we apply it every day of our lives, especially in this beautiful celebration of Easter. My prayer in this season is: Lord, please increase our faith.
Happy Easter!
With love,
                    Maria Fanny Agudelo
