BARBARITIES

 

Let me start with the following questions:

Why do men have to kill each other? Wouldn't it be better if they took another job? Or does the spilled blood of JESUS ​​CHRIST have no value? Or is it that a blessed eternity does not interest them? Or is it that an eternal hell does not frighten them? I declare them crazier than crazy. How good it is to love, how sweet to forgive, and how short this moment of life is. Only he who loves abundantly lives well. Otherwise life is meaningless. Certainly one cannot live with fear. How nice it would be if we understood this. Live Christ the King! Long live our beloved God! Thank you my

God because you make me think like that. Humbly and confidently I entrust myself to You Lord and I pray for all my brothers in the world so that none but none lose eternal life. And for all the lost in the world so that they may be found by your divine grace. My beloved Lord, as I like to tell you with Saint Teresa of Jesus:

Lord, I am not moved to love you by the Heaven that you have promised me, nor is the hell so feared to move me to stop offending you. Move me Lord and in such a way, to see you on a cross mocked; move me your affronts and your death that even if there was no Heaven I would love you and even if there was no hell I would fear you. You don't have to give me because I love you, the same as I love you I would love you.

Lord I love you because I love you and this is a grace that You, Oh God, have given me; but increase this fire for me because I need more and more to share your most holy will with all docile souls. This is how I want to be and do in all my life that You, O Lord, give me and thank you for life because that is your most holy will. I say that in life because everything is in life. With our existence over, there is nothing to do; where we stayed, we stayed and it's no more.

Very dear brothers, if we understand the glory of God and a little bit of his infinite mercy, He would fill us with his love. Lord, You flood us with delights and charms. Heaven is for the humble and those who confess their sins and repent of having committed them. It is not for hardened sinners, but for those who correct their mistakes and ask God for forgiveness with all their hearts. All this is during life; after death there is no remedy. Nobody should leave to repent when they are going to die because nobody knows that moment. “Watch and pray that you do not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41). Watch and pray because we do not know the day or the hour of the return of the Lord JESUS. This was said by the Lord.

Cordially,

WISE THOUGHTS

 

Hello family and friends, today I want to share with you something very beautiful and uplifting that I found in my archive. I reread it, edited it, and here I present it. I hope you enjoy.

Did you know that your great mission is your great vision? The greatest problem of a human being is to move away from God and the greatest need is to return to him. The great moment of grace comes when we realize that the eyes of Christ are fixed on us. The most important moment in life is to be alert so as not to be robbed of peace and tranquility. You can consult what you want in the Holy Bible just as you do on the Internet with the certainty that the Bible contains the perfect advice from your Creator.

Think like an adult, live like a young person, advise like an old man, but always dream. What fidelity! The heart is a wonderful thing; he can love many, but love only one exclusively. That is the mystery of marriage. That is the

exclusivity of love between a man and a woman; this love must always be cultivated.

Our goal in the world must be: Learn to love! This is an ever new commandment that God asks of us. Love should not be born in the sand of feelings that come and go, but on the rock of true love that is God. The marriage between a man and a woman must be permanently saved and not expected to be on the verge of the abyss.

I smile not because I always do well, I smile because I'm tired

of looking for blame. I smile because it is my best weapon and because despite so many tragedies my heart remains sincere. I smile for what I am because God has given me everything. So even if it seems dark, even if misunderstanding cuts off your laughter, even if your efforts are ignored, even if ingratitude is the payoff, even if tears flood your eyes, even if a mistake hurts you, even if you feel tired, even if triumph abandons you, look for the help of God and start again. Security is not in the absence of danger, but in the presence of God and trust in Him.

With love,

Mary Fanny Agudelo
