This blog is based on references in the Bible to fear. God wills that we “BE NOT AFRAID”. Vincit qui se vincit" is a Latin phrase meaning "He conquers who conquers himself." Many theologians state that the eighth deadly sin is fear. It is fear and its natural animal reaction to fight or flight that is the root cause of our failings to create a Kingdom of God on earth. This blog is dedicated to Mary the Mother of God. "

Exodus, Chapter 18, Verse 18-21
18 “You will surely wear yourself out, both you and these people with you. The task is too heavy for you;you cannot do it alone. 19Now, listen to me, and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. Act as the people’s representative before God, and bring their disputes to God. 20Enlighten them in regard to the statutes and instructions, showing them how they are to conduct themselves and what they are to do. 21But you should also look among all the people for able and God-fearing men, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain, and set them over the people as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.
Our Lord asks us to lead, follow or get out of the way. Our Lord tells us, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spiritwill not be forgiven.” (Mt. 12:30-31)
If you are a leader start leading in the church with a group of ten; follow where you can and do not hinder the work of the Holy Spirit become a dynamic catholic.
DAY 52 - OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, PRAY FOR US POWER OF PRAYER The heroes of our faith are the warrior saints who have gone before us. God worked mightily and miraculously through them. Therefore, we must study their ways. In humility, obedience, and trust (H.O.T.), we ask: How did they remain so well connected, in such strong friendship with God, so that his river of supernatural grace could flow so freely through them? What do these "SEALS for Christ" teach us about the ideal spiritual disciplines, the ultimate daily regimen of prayer? Prayer is our outstanding supernatural resource for fighting the wiles of the enemy. St. Alphonsus said, "Prayer is, beyond doubt, the most powerful weapon the Lord gives us to conquer evil ... but we must really put ourselves into the prayer, it is not enough just to say the words, it must come from the heart. And also prayer needs to be continuous, we must pray no matter what kind of situation we find ourselves in: the warfare we are enga...
Feast of the Motherhood of Mary The Feast of the Motherhood of Mary arrives like a quiet dawn over Nazareth, a day in which the Church pauses to contemplate not simply the Virgin’s holiness, but her vocation to bear God Himself into the world. It is the feast of the Yes that became flesh. In Mary, maternity is transfigured: no longer merely biological, but covenantal, cosmic, and salvific. Her womb becomes the first tabernacle; her heartbeat the first earthly rhythm heard by the Incarnate Word. On this day, the faithful remember that Christ did not descend as an abstraction. He came through her body, her blood, her breath. The eternal Son took His humanity from a woman who offered herself entirely to the Father’s design. Thus Mary’s motherhood is not sentimental—it is theological. It is the hinge between heaven and earth, the place where divine initiative meets human consent. To honor her motherhood is to honor the mystery of God choosing to need us. It is to stand before ...
Tuesday-Family Holy Hour A family Holy Hour answers the need of generous souls who desire to live more perfectly the spirit of the Enthronement and who wish to do more (we might say much more) for the Most Sacred Heart by having a weekly family holy hour. Why Tuesday. To make reparations to the Sacred Heart for betrayals; for it was Tuesday of Holy Week that Judas first made a deal with the Sanhedrin. SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT Tue, Sep 22 — Fall Begins Cigar: Oliva Serie V Melanio (Maduro) Drink: Redbreast 12 Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Reflection: When the season of my life turns to autumn, what garments will clothe my soul? The equinox arrives, tipping the earth into the amber quiet of autumn. Leaves wither and fall, yet in the economy of grace, the close of earthly life is not decay, but the harvest of fidelity. How stark the contrast between the purgatorial flames of Innocent III and the radiant entrance of Father John de Lierre. Dying exhausted in the ...
