By Grace we are saved! Ephesians 2:8-9
May 20, 2011
With heartfelt Thanksgiving and Praise in my heart and on my Lips to I proclaim the wonders of God working in my life! How he rescued me from the pit of despair and brought his servant to a new life in Christ Jesus. I was a slave to sin, now no more, for Our Lord has won the Victory, though the fight lingers on, and not until I rest safely and securely with God in His Presence will the race be won.
I owe him thanks for a wonderful Job with the IRS that was his given by his hand. I had only 1 interview while I was unemployed for 9 months. I serve the people of America with the utmost respect and dignity working hard to perform my daily duties as if I were doing them for God. My manager, I am obedient to in all things, for as does God, she knows what is best at the time, though I do not always see the big picture. I now pray the Litany of Humility which has brought forth fruit as I cut ties with myself and my own wants to think about those around me. I know I am miniscule in the eyes of God, I love how St Teresa of Avila called us “Worms” That’s about right. I’m a worm, were it not for the Grace of God, I would still be wallowing in the depths of sin.
Our Lord has bestowed upon me a great blessing; The ability to provide for my family. My student loans are on an income based repayment through the government. I can now afford to payoff the things I need to, like my other student loans and my car and other things Our Lord knows I need to do. Praise be Always and Forever the Holy Name of Jesus Christ!
It was said by Archbishop Dolan “We are not anti-anybody, we are Pro-Marriage.” How much do we forget that. We are for Beauty, Good, Truth, and Unity. These are what we fight for. These are what we will die for! Die to ourselves. die for our friends, even if it means giving up what we love and enjoy. Would we give up sports if it means that we would save our friends’ souls from eternal damnation? We must help our brothers and sisters who are dying and are mortally wounded spiritually. We must do penance for them if they will not do it for themselves. Pray the Rosary, go to daily mass and offer mass and communions for them. Become holy, read the lives of the saints, what better ones to read than the doctors of the church. There’s only 33 of them. With the great resources online, fill your ebook readers and kindles with these great works given by God for the building up of the Kingdom. We are nothing by ourselves, but as St Teresa of Avila said “One Person plus God is an Army!” We need only to grow closer to him and pass that love to others.
Holy Mother Church truly does know what she’s talking about by chastity within marriage. I can tell you first hand that I am the happiest I’ve ever been in my marriage. Remember that Our Lord said “My yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Is it easy, shut your face! it’s rediculously difficult, but is it worth it to be an example, even when temptation is there to go against the teachings of the church, but I never again want to lose the Holy Spirit who resides in my soul and helps me to make the right decisions in my life. Thank you Holy Spirit, you changer of hearts, Spirit of the Living God, Breath of God, move within my soul and enkindle in my heart the fire of your Love.
