Forgiveness

Those who Love God— they Forgive.
And those who Forgive¹— they grow increasingly more in the Love of God.

The Grace of Forgiveness comes from our Loving relationship with God.
Forgiveness becomes difficult² when we are more inclined to live by our natural inclinations— rather than living by the Spirit³ of God.

Learn to Forgive— and you'll start Loving again.

1. When Forgiveness becomes a virtue of your life.

2. Forgiveness becomes difficult— because anger; jealousy; pride; ego; stubbornness; unbelief; unfaithfulness (to the commandment of God) join forces to defy the commandment of Love— and it hardens our heart against Love.

3. Living by the Spirit: to commit our daily life to Prayer; to Faith in God; to Reverence of God; to Loving and Understanding others; to Charity and to deeds of Mercy— as much as opportunities and circumstances allow.

Remember, God loves a cheerful giver— so do everything cheerfully, without reluctance or under compulsion.

Easter

Easter

Easter is the celebration of Jesus's victorious Love— the Love in which HE came into this world; the Love in which HE suffered for our sins; the Love in which HE offered HIMSELF as a sacrifice for our Salvation.

HIS Love defeated death for us and gained Eternal Life for us.

This Glorious day the Lord invites¹ us to rejoice with HIM and celebrate the victory of HIS Love— over death and sin.

And HE commands us to live our life in HIS victorious Love— that we too, may receive the Grace to triumph over our sins and difficulties of this earthly life and rise again in HIM, in Eternal Life.

1. Despite the difficulties which we may be going through in our life; despite our gloom— it is in HIM alone, we find solace for our soul.

MAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE FRUITFULLY IN THE 'VICTORIOUS LOVE' OF CHRIST.

I WISH YOU ALL A 'BLESSED EASTER'

Prayer of Faith

Lord, I believe that YOU are the Son of the living God.
I believe that YOU are the Bread of Everlasting Life.
I believe that YOU are the Resurrection and the Life.
Help my unbelief that weakens me and makes me  fall into sin against YOU.

Make my Faith victorious in YOU.
Bless my Faith to triumph over all my sinful inclinations and difficult circumstances.
Bless my Faith to live sincerely in YOUR Love.
And bring my life to a Blessed end in YOU. AMEN.

PALM SUNDAY' 2019

PALM SUNDAY' 2019

Summary:

In the picture, we see Jesus (the light of the world) triumphantly heading towards HIS sorrowful and Glorious Passion.

Description:

1. The light with the brilliant hearts in the background symbolizes Jesus (the light of the world) full of Love— eagerly and triumphantly entering into HIS sorrowful passion.

2. The heart with palm leaves in the background symbolizes a friendly and august welcome given by Jews to Jesus, Son of David. Further, the heart is inclined towards Jesus (the light of the world) symbolizing a moment of warm and Reverential welcome— as opposed to the 'night of betrayal' — which is inclined towards HIS crucifixion.

3. Among those who acclaimed Jesus as the 'King of Israel" were also the accusers who were to accuse HIM to crucifixion. The green hearts with palm leaves symbolizes friendly Jews who revered Jesus. The red hearts bordered with green symbolizes the hostile Jews and Pharisees— with a guile in their wicked hearts.

4. The betraying kiss of Judas Iscariot hiding behind the 'palm leaves welcome' alludes to the betrayal which is to follow soon. Judas's lips are shown in dual colour. The black lips smeared with blood symbolizes his deceitful nature. The white borderline denotes Judas as a 'false angel of light'.

5. The 'night of betrayal' is torn, denoting the disowning and scattering of the Disciples. The chains in the background denotes the captivity of Jesus. Judas's kiss and the night is inclined towards the condemnation of Jesus.

6. The fiery background; the pouring of blood; the lips of the accusers;  the thorns and the Cross denotes the intense suffering of Jesus; HIS sacrifice and HIS death— for our Salvation.

7. Amidst the intense suffering, the Cross is inclined towards the Glorious Resurrection, denoting Jesus's way of Salvation (from suffering into Glory)— and also a spiritual path for Christian way of life.

May our Lord Jesus Christ strengthen your Faith and make your Faith victorious in HIM.

I wish you all a 'Blessed Holy Week'.

 

Be Perfect

Human nature is weak; sinful and imperfect.
Love is Divine; Pure and Perfect.

Only a 'life of Love'¹ will make us Perfect beings— worthy of the Eternal Kingdom.

1. Living according to the Commandment of Love: to return back to God with all our heart (with Faith and Humility); to be Loving and Forgiving; to be Kind and Merciful; to be Understanding and Gentle and Patient.

Faith and sin

Faith¹ and Love, together acts as a spiritual immune² system of our body.
Faith keeps the fire of Charity burning brightly in our hearts.

The weakness of our Faith weakens the fire of Charity— which subsequently allows sin to creep in our heart.

Pray God to strengthen your Faith in HIM.

1. Faith acts through Love. The more we grow strong in Faith, the more it will perform deeds of Love— eventually, our Love for God and our fellow beings will grow stronger.

2. Faith and Love forms a strong rampart of God's Grace that shields us from every kind of evil and sin.

God is never in a hurry— God waits, waits and waits

The enemy, the tempter, is restless¹ and  always in a hurry.

God is never in a hurry². God is Mercifully Patient³ and waits longingly⁴.

1. To devour the souls; he is restless to break our faith relationship with God (especially in difficult circumstances);  seeking every moment and every opportunity to make the weak souls fall into sin. He hurries to build anxiety and zeal in one's heart to pursue worldly success and happiness— and keep them rooted in worldly vanity.


2. To punish our guilt and make an end of wickedness.

3. Waiting for each soul to repent and return to HIM with Faith and Humility.

4. God understands the weakness of human flesh. HE gives sufficient time to make an amendment of sinful life.
