Beautiful people

Beautiful people do Beautiful work¹ by living charitably, in the honour of God.

1. Beautiful work: Charitable work (alms-giving; helping the needy); living a life of Love (being Generous; being Understanding; being Forgiving; being Merciful; being Kind; being Honest; being Sympathetic;  being Considerate; being Compassionate; living a life of Purity.);  works (related to different fields) that Praises and Honours God; living a life of Persevering Faith, that gives testimony to the unbelieving world, through a good Christian life, in God.

Forgiveness

There is much Peace¹ in Forgiveness, than in avenging, through Justice.

1.  Because, we honour God in the act of Forgiveness and do HIS Most Holy will. Be calm— for the Lord says: "Vengeance is mine, I will pay them back…" [Deuteronomy 32:35]

Christian Life

Christian life is for Love; Forgiveness and Mercy— not for rebellion¹ and retaliation².

1. Rebellion against God— for the difficult circumstances you are going through; because things are not going your way.

  Rebellion against your Parents— because they don't love you enough or they don't understand you clearly or meet your needs.

  Rebellion against your Spouse— for varied reasons.

  Rebellion against the Church of God (by abandoning it)— because some things are contrary to your beliefs and understandings.


2. Retaliating against those who harm you and hurt you or ill treat you unjustly. A good  Christian returns ill in Forgiveness.

Good deeds

Good deeds performed in Faith, become a worthy¹ offering to the Glory of God. Faith catapults good actions towards God.

Good deeds lacking the foundation of Faith, are only aimed at self-glory. They fail to rise to the approval of God.

1. Good deeds done in Faith are  done according to the Most Holy will of God.

Fruitful Faith

If you do not revere¹, what you believe in— what good is that Faith.
If you do not obey and live, what you believe in, what you hope for — what good is that Faith.

1. Pay Reverence to God with all your heart and with all your life.

Suffering is God's privileged Blessing

In the Cauldron of  human sufferings our Faith is put to test— so that the worth of our Faith may be proved.
In our humble sufferings we are purified and we are protected by God's Grace.

Suffering purges away sin.
Suffering brings us to new life in Christ.

Suffering humbles us and brings us to acknowledge God; to seek HIS pardon; to seek HIS Mercy and brings us to repentance.
In pain; difficulties and sufferings of life— we come to the understanding of  truths of life and God.

God disciplines us, perfects us in Patience; Perseverance and Faith— through suffering.
Suffering¹ makes us worthy so as to share God's Glory.

If we are in Christ, then we must be one with HIS sufferings, by patiently bearing our share of sufferings— for Christ suffered too.

For those who believe in God, suffering is God's privileged Blessing.

1. Earthly sufferings as well as purgatorial sufferings.

Prayer for Forgiveness

Heavenly Father, I  believe in YOU, with all my heart, with all my life and I acknowledge all my sins before YOU.

Forgive me the sins that I have committed against YOU, in the weakness of my flesh and forgive me the sins that are unknown to me.

Cleanse my heart and purify my soul from the impurity of sin and bring my life to a Holy end in YOU— doing YOUR Most Holy Will.

Amen.
