On the way to Emmaus

 

Happiness

 

Peace in the world

 

Lord, to whom shall we go?

Jesus Christ offers us Hope of Eternal Life.
Jesus Christ offers us Mercy and Forgiveness of sins.
Jesus Christ offers us the Commandment of Love— to live in Holiness of God.
Jesus Christ offers us Faith— to believe in one True Living God.
Jesus Christ offers us HIS Peace— which is unaffected by adversity.

All that the world offers is vanity; a faithless life; a momentary happiness and peace.

To whom shall we go?
In whom shall be believe for our life?
Who will lead us to salvation?

Jesus Christ alone— the Beloved Son of the one True Living God— is our True Faith; our only Hope and our Everlasting Life.

Christ— our True Peace

Anxiety; fear; difficult circumstances and our sins— burden us, tear us apart and disrupts our Peace.

In Christ, the susceptibilities of our weak flesh are guarded and hold together in Peace.

The 'Peace of Christ' restores Peace and stillness to our restless heart.

In HIM alone, we grow into a sacred temple of God— where God's Peace rests.

In HIM alone, our heart and our soul finds true satisfaction.

Christ is our True Peace.

Christ crucified, Christ resurrected

Christ crucified gives us the strength to bear our sufferings Humbly and Patiently, with Faith and Love, in HIM.

Christ crucified inspires us and motivates us for a life of Faithful and Humble obedience to God's Most Holy will.

Christ crucified gives us the Grace to live a life of Love, in HIM.

Christ crucified inspires us for the life of Simplicity and Humility, in HIM.

Christ crucified gives us the proof of one, True God–  the proof of True Love.

Christ resurrected gives us the Hope of victory,¹ in HIM.

Christ resurrected strengthens our Faith that HE is for us² and is with us, always.

Christ resurrected gives us the Hope of Resurrection and Eternal life, in HIM.

Christ resurrected gives us Joy; Happiness and Peace, in HIM.

Christ resurrected gives us the Hope of Salvation, in HIM alone.

1. Victory over our sinful self; victory over the wickedness in the world, through life of Love, in HIM.

2. HE died for us, and HE resurrected for us, that we may live with HIM, forever.

Peace for our heart

Our sins; worries; anxieties; difficulties and pains of life, disturbs the inner Peace of our being.

Our heart and our Soul longs for Peace. Our heart cannot remain still, it  cannot find perfect contentment in worldly things; it constantly craves for satisfaction and  Happiness.

God's Peace is the life of our heart and Soul.

Our heart and our soul finds its rest and Peace in God alone, where it is nourished and renewed.

Shouldering the yoke¹ of God's Love and living uprightly makes us worthy of God's Peace.

Living our life according to God's commandment of  Love, strengthens our mind and heart and our Humble Hope in HIM strengthens us against every weariness.

1. God's commandments are not burdensome. They are easy for those who love God.

Jesus is our True Happiness

Our heart and our soul cannot be perfectly Happy and at Peace unless it is freed from the burden of sin; unless it is reconciled  with God. It is Jesus Christ alone, who takes away the burden of sin upon HIMSELF and brings Joy and tranquility in our heart.

Jesus is the True Peace¹, who alone has the Grace to console our fears and our anxieties and to bring them to stillness in HIM. It is Christ alone, who grants us the Grace to be at Peace in our misery and wretchedness.

Our heart longs to be nourished with Love. It is Jesus Christ alone, who is True love– the 'LOVE' who suffered for our sins and died for our sins. It is the love of Christ that satisfies² the deepest longing and needs of our heart and fills the emptiness in our heart.

Jesus is the wisdom of God . It is HE alone, who has the words of Eternal life. It is HIS way of love that brings us on the path of contentment and Happiness and keeps us secure.

1. It is by the sacrifice of Jesus's Blood that we are brought to reconciliation with God.

2. The worldly things  bring momentary happiness to our heart. But Jesus Christ brings Eternal Happiness to our heart and soul. HE alone is the true satisfaction of our heart.

The Art of Loving

Love through Forgiveness¹.

1. Forgiveness opens our heart to God's Love and God's healing.

Love grows more through Forgiveness. The more we forgive, the more our Love advance towards God and towards our 'neighbor'.

Holy Bible- our legacy

The word of God is the light of God.
It is the life giving Spirit.
It is a legacy; a testimony of Truth, that God gave us.
Living a life apart from this light, is darkness and delusion- and we remain deceived all our life.

Let us seek this light daily and strive to live in this light.
Because, here alone is the health of our life and the happiness of our soul.

Life of Littleness

" Unless you become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven." [Mt 18:3]

       Littleness is the freshness and liveliness of our life. Without littleness, we are like fruitless tree- good for nothing !
Through the virtue of Humility, we become like little children. This littleness is nourished, only by living in God's presence- making the " word of God " our spiritual home. Our littleness, when planted near this *living water, will never become arid. Our life will bear the fruits of Peace; Joy and Happiness- giving Glory to God on earth.










* Holy Bible

Happy heart- Happy life

God is the Happiness and the Health of our life. Without the presence of God in our life, our heart becomes restless and loses its peace.
Only a healthy¹ heart, lives a healthy and worthy life.

If our heart is Happy- then our life is Happy.

1. Physically as well as spiritually.

Always be Joyful, in the Lord

It is quite unbelievable and very difficult to accept the Holy words – “Always be Joyful in the Lord”. [Philippians 4:4]

   A day is filled with variety of moments: a moment of anxiety; a moment of pain; a moment of vain curiosity; a moment of sinful pleasures; a moment of sin; a moment of temptation; a moment of despair; a moment of disbelief in God; a moment of pride; a moment of hatred; a moment of laxity; a moment of aridity. On the contrary, to be Joyful in the Lord, in the midst of all these varied moments, seems to be an impossible task on our part.

   God offers each one of us, a choice: to choose Life or Death. On one side, there are these sinful feelings, that make us feel miserable throughout the day and bring death to our soul. On the other side, there is the saving help of Our Lord, inviting us to partake in HIS Joy. A joy that proclaims that HE is risen. HE has won victory over death and sin. We are invited to live in this Joy with HIM– not just for a moment! But for all the moments of our life- till we see HIM face-to-face, in HIS Eternal Kingdom.

   It is only through Faith in HIM, that we partake of HIS Joy. A Faith that humbly believes, we are forgiven in HIM. A Faith that believes, HE has died for our sins. A kind of Faith, that believes, that our entire sinful life cannot be greater than the Grace and Joy which HE has to offer us.

   HE only asks of us, to let go of the sinful feelings, that burdens us.

Is it too difficult a task, to let go of the sinful and guilt feelings and to accept HIS Joy, through Faith in HIM?

   Through our disbelief, we carry the burden of misery, all the days of our life; but through our humble Faith in HIM, we are healed in a moment.

Just, one step– and we leave the chain of miserable life and enter into HIS 'Joyful Life'.



    Does that mean that we’ll never commit sin or we’ll never be burdened by the cares and worries of this life?

    HE says: “Day’s own trouble will be sufficient for the day". A day will not be free from sin and trouble. Our Life is a choiceful living . Each moment of each day is presented with misery and 'Joy-in-the-Lord'. We have to make a wise decision in letting go misery and prudently choose Joy.

    In this manner, we’ll live our life, like little children- they cling to their mother, for every little thing they need. They find peace in their mother’s presence. The Kingdom of Heaven, belongs to those who live their life- just like little children.
    Let nothing separate us from the Joy of our Lord. Every moment, when we are bitten by misery and sins of this life, let us turn to our Lord- in the manner of little children. For in HIM alone, we’ll find solace for our troubled heart.


    We don’t have to wait for something Good to happen to us, to make us feel Joyful. The Joy of the Risen Lord, is always near us. HE is our joy and Happiness. It is for us HE died. It is for us, HE came to bring salvation in this world. HE offers us HIS Joy, unconditionally– despite our unworthiness.


           Holiness is just a step away. Cling to it firmly!

God

Those who love God- they have everything. Nothing in the world can be more pleasing and satisfying than God.

Those who lack God- the whole world would still be not enough.

Refreshment for our heart

Things of this transient world provides temporary refreshment to our heart.

Our hearts' true delight is God.

And in God alone, it finds true Peace and true Happiness.
