Good Friday

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:05:54 +0000

On this Good Friday, we are reflecting How Jesus save us from our sins. The problem is that most of us don’t really trust God. The Bible says, ” A righteous person will live by faith” (Hebrews 10:38). JESUS loves us unconditionally. In other words, no matter what we do behind GOD’s back –or to his Face- he always loves us. That’s why GOD sent us he’s only son to save us from our sins. Becoming a Christian is only the beginning of a wonderful new life. GOD rarely takes people to heaven the moment they become Christians. Being born again is like hatching out of an egg. Long before our birth, GOD has had a distinct purpose for every one of us. The wonderful thing is that we don’t have to wait for GOD to receive us. He is waiting for us to receive him. Here’s some simple prayer we can pray. I know GOD will hear us- and JESUS will come into our life as LORD.

Dear GOD, I’ve been living my life my own way.
Now I want to live it your way.
I need you and I am now willing for you to take control of my life.
I received your son JESUS CHRIST, as my personal SAVIOR and LORD.
I believe he died for my sins and risen from the dead.
I surrender to him as LORD. Come LORD JESUS CHRIST and occupy the throne of my life.
Make me the kind of person you want me to be.

Who was Valentine?

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:46:32 +0000

Who was Valentine? The name valentine ( priest Valentio ) does not occur in the earliest list of roman. Valentine was a priest in Rome and He was apprehended, and to be beheaded, on February 14, about the year 270. Saint Valentine he’s remains still a mystery. One opinion is that he was a Roman martyred refusing to give up his Christian faith. Other historians said, that Saint Valentine was a temple priest, jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius. Valentine really existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. Pope Gelasius 1 first established the feast of Saint Valentine in 496. The greatest parts of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as a martyr. Some say that Saints are not supposed to rest in peace; they’re expected to keep busy: to perform miracles, to intercede. One legend says, while awaiting his execution, Valentines restored the sight of his jailer’s blind daughter. Another legend says, before he’s execution he penned a farewell note to the jailer’s daughter, signing it, “From your Valentine.” He is the Patron Saint represented in pictures with birds and roses.

Confession

admin — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:39:51 +0000

Many of us find ourselves going to confession less and less; perhaps we wonder why we go at all. For years, I convinced that confession was meant for those in mortal sin because venial sin was forgiven the moment we were sorry. God wants us to change our heart to avoid sin. Confession to me is like nourishing food or medical care it heals our soul, as well our physical particular in areas the lord wants us to change. When we make a general confession we touch the healing power of forgiveness.

Keep up my Faith

admin — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:06:27 +0000

Today too much stress I experience, demand in my family needs and also in my work. I guess this is life so many trials and there also happiness. In time of this, I left up to the LORD that he would always give me strength. I miss when I was a full time member of a community a charismatic church group. I fell contented no worries, no anxiety or even no stress. Our leader teaches us to live in simplicity. I guess I learn so much what they teach us. Maybe I forgot him, many Sunday’s I failed to attend mass. Not just like before in one week I attend almost every day. Also have regular confession. I over looked all this, my problem is I didn’t make any schedule or make a habit to attend mass. I realized this stress is one of remainder to me, which I have a responsibility to exercise my faith and trust to GOD.

Good Bye Michael…

Yesterday I was dismayed, after what I’m heard from the news about Michael Jackson. I couldn’t believed, that a KING OF POP passed away due to cardiac arrest at age of 50. I’m one of the avid funs of Michael Jackson; I idolize him for he’s revolutionizing music, dance and music videos. Who never forgot he’s world tour DANGEROUS. He was born on August 29, 1958; Jackson made his show business debut with four of his older brothers in the Jackson Five pop group. The Jackson’s produced seven platinum singles for Motown, selling over a million, and three multi-platinum albums, selling more than two million. Eventually the family act broke up, as Jackson went solo. Surprisingly he become a top performer singer, with his song become no.1 in billboard chart. “Thriller,” which became the top-selling album of all time, with sales exceeding 41 million. To Michael Jackson and he’s family we extend our condolences. May the lord covered your soul with he’s cloth and bring you to heaven.

Basic tips on proper relaxation.

1. Relax physically – this done by stretching out in bed in a comfortable way or chair. Concentrate on relaxing each part of your body such as your face, your neck, and your shoulder and so on down until you are as lose ashes.
2. Relax your mind – you can recall your happy moments in your life such as vacation, your honeymoons, a play, a book, and any thing that brings your mind’s pleasant scene.
3. Relax your soul – renewing your faith in the lord. You get right with GOD. Surrender your worries, fears with him. He can handle them much better than we. Do this in prayer, give your full trust, faith, and everything to him. Verse from the bible quoted ‘BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD’. (Psalm 46:10)

Develop humility

Be sincere with yourself and with others.

Understand you needs and the needs of others

Learn that we are what we are and that we don’t have to keep up with the joneses.

Extend your ability to listen and learn

Constantly build an inner sense of values and adhere to them

Build a state of peacefulness through understanding instead of making mountains of molehills

Look for new horizons new successes and reach out for them

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is maturity

With maturity you will understand humility and with humility you will be a successful human being.

The cross in my pocket

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 08:16:22 +0000

I carry a cross in my pocket
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I am a Christian
No matter where I may be

This little cross is not magic
Nor it is a good luck charm
It isn’t mean to protect me
From every physical harm

It’s not for identification
For all the world to see
It’s simply an understanding
Between my savior and me

It’s remind me to be thankful
For the blessing day by day
And to strive to serve him better
In all that I do and say
So I carry a cross in my pocket
Reminding no one but me
That Jesus Christ is the lord of my life
If only I’ll let him be.

Wisdom thoughts for aspirants

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 01:27:25 +0000

Wisdom is not a question of learning facts with the mind; it can only be acquired through perfection of living.

Wisdom implies knowledge of life in addition to knowledge of form; a knowledge not only a particulars, but also of what which binds the particulars, the unity in them.

Wisdom is not a matter of study, but a matter of living; it is the communicable source, which must be discovered by yourself, from which you gather nectar from unseen flower.

Wisdom is always the blossom the quality of life, revealing life’s deep meanings. It is the unity of a part. It is the movement of life in its superlative ness and at its best. It is though released from every tether, formed by a direct impulse from heaven. It is the divide ray, which penetrates both hearth and mind, unifies them, it is the breath of GOD of which the heat is life and the light is love and beauty.
