The Head of the Church is Christ

The other day by chance I start an interesting conversation about the Catholic Church and notice that at any given moment an argument arises that causes surprise:

And it is to mention that Christ is "the Head of the Church"

Pantocrator (Christ in Majesty)

And it gives me joy to be able to reflect it in this Blog that is for tod@s those people who want to know the Holy Catholic Church:

The Head of the Holy Catholic Church is Christ

And to a Catholic this should not/can cause surprise, but on the contrary, recognition, rejoicing and joy:

The Head of the Holy Catholic Church is Christ

And also in a Catholic Bible we will find it in the Book "Letter to the Ephesians" chapter 4 verse 15 (in textbooks it usually comes as Eph 4:15):

"Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ"

792 Christ "is the head of the body, the Church."225 He is the principle of creation and redemption. Raised to the Father's glory, "in everything he (is) preeminent,"226 especially in the Church, through whom he extends his reign over all things.

Great Catholic Music

Having presented Catholic Pop style music, he now plays that more instrumental music: table music, coffee or tea with cookies, blanket and attractive book 😀😀

Great Catholic Music is a musical and Catholic  corner on the Internet super helped for those moments where you want to rest and enjoy the atmosphere itself

https://greatcatholicmusic.com/

It will serve as an advance for when we go to Heaven and we can perhaps listen to Mozart, Clara Schumann, Bach and other creators who will surely continue to develop the talent that God has granted them and that we will one day be able to enjoy in person and even meet them 

😀 Ale-luya! 😀

1158 The harmony of signs (song, music, words, and actions) is all the more expressive and fruitful when expressed in the cultural richness of the People of God who celebrate.25 Hence "religious singing by the faithful is to be intelligently fostered so that in devotions and sacred exercises as well as in liturgical services," in conformity with the Church's norms, "the voices of the faithful may be heard." But "the texts intended to be sung must always be in conformity with Catholic doctrine. Indeed they should be drawn chiefly from the Sacred Scripture and from liturgical sources."26

Newton and his relationship with God

Newton for years has explained to us how everything that moves play. In his Book "Principia Mathematica"

And curiously, when something escaped his understanding, he delegated it to God. If Science not long ago when it found a first limit it delegated it to God as Newton does in "Principia Mathematica" page 249:

"God, therefore, placed planets at different distances from the Sun, so that each of them would enjoy a greater or lesser amount of heat from the Sun, depending on the degree of density of the sun. Our water, if the Earth were located in the orbit of Saturn, would freeze, and would immediately transform into gases in the orbit of Mercury."

Well, here we have to Sir Isaac Newton + -4 generations ago explaining our Solar system and also for what is not enough by assigning it to God. Very Good for Isaac Newton 😀😀

Amen

Well, it is curious to see how the word Amen is in other languages

Of Hebrew origin, in the Hebraic language it is written: אמן

In Japanese: ア ー メ ン

In Greek: ἀμήν

In Bengali: আমেন

How beautiful it is in Bengali:

it looks like a musical note 😀

Of course it seems that God only does things to adorn us

if you want to see what the word Amen is like in other languages, all countries appear in this link: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am%C3%A9n (It is better the link in Spanish language because it has all the Countries and Languages)

Amen!

1064 Thus the Creed's final "Amen" repeats and confirms its first words: "I believe." To believe is to say "Amen" to God's words, promises and commandments; to entrust oneself completely to him who is the "Amen" of infinite love and perfect faithfulness. the Christian's everyday life will then be the "Amen" to the "I believe" of our baptismal profession of faith:

May your Creed be for you as a mirror. Look at yourself in it, to see if you believe everything you say you believe. and rejoice in your faith each day.647

You and me with only 2 weeks to live

Thanks to Embryology you can know how we were when we had days of life. And specifically in the third week there is a process called Gastrulation and that knowing it is a Wonder 

Very interesting to know more about how God does things well

(I do not advance anything to respect the content of the owner) and it is worth watching the following video because it is really surprising to see how we were with 20 days of life

The fact is that in the Gastrulation (as mentioned in the video) the area that will be the buccal and the area that will be the fecal is defined, and from these two poles later, and in their union, the spine arises and from there the rest of the organs of our body unfold

https://youtu.be/Z-kVT6lCYmg?t=134

And from this our whole body is formed, subsequently comprising Skeleton and Muscle Mass, more sensitive internal organs and the entire nerve network.

2226 Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God.35 The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents.

And today it is brought up and thus completed; a Clover with:

St. Patrick

He converted to a multitude of Irish, because as mentioned at one point in the film:

"Remember that we represent a Major Authority"

This film captures the story of St. Patrick with many Divine circumstances: Presenting the Angels, Good Use of Nature to Will (Miracles), and other acts that by preserving the film do not advance 😀

As it progresses it gains in argument (if you had the same impression I recommend you watch the movie from the 38' minute):

Sky Star

From the Bible Genesis Book Chapter 15 verse 5:

He took him outside and said: "Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can. Just so," he added, "shall your descendants be."

https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PH.HTM

Our ancestors admired the Starry Sky because it made them transcend

On one occasion sleeping flush in a campsite (for good weather only in the sleeping bag), I remember the feeling of vertigo as it is all dark and looking at the starry sky. The feeling is that you are looking up at the sky face down and you can fall, hence the feeling of vertigo. And it makes you feel very small about what's created, and you realize that yes, there's something else

And Heaven aside from helping you pray also allows you to guide yourself

And as a tribute to our ancestors, who from so much looking to Heaven learned to be guided with it, here is this interactive Map of Heaven:

1783 Conscience must be informed and moral judgment enlightened. A well-formed conscience is upright and truthful. It formulates its judgments according to reason, in conformity with the true good willed by the wisdom of the Creator. The education of conscience is indispensable for human beings who are subjected to negative influences and tempted by sin to prefer their own judgment and to reject authoritative teachings.

The Trinitarian Chalice

A while ago they found this consecrated Chalice in Nineveh-Iraq

He is pierced by the firing of a bullet from a group of the jihadi "Islamic state"

The result is that the Living God who makes everything a Catechesis, now, of this "blindly" hole-swoop Chalice makes its holes mouths:

The widest, by which the Father speaks from this Holy Chalice 

The one that looks like the hole of a nail (the one that was shot), is the mouth through which from this Holy Chalice speaks the Son 

The one that looks like a sting (the effect that leaves the bullet on the way out) is the mouth through which from this Holy Chalice speaks the Holy Spirit

The full story in:

234 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the "hierarchy of the truths of faith".56 The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".57

The difference between Gifts and Grace

I have spoken with a friend, She has an operation in two weeks. She has scary because the surgeon will place an artificial element within your body to improve your health. It is normal. It is a difficult situation. She needs the Grace.

Everyday in your live are a lot of moments where you need to resolve situations

And with your Gifts you resolve your situations. But if you live it how a Cross, Where is your Mission?

Jesus lived a lot of situations where he had a lot of problems. But the Cross appears when your actions improve your Mission

Everything is not Cross, and everything is not Grace. But with the Gifts we live every day, they are tools. With the Grace we beat the Cross

Really for Her it is a Cross. She has a greath faith and this is a difficult situation for her Apostolate. She needs the Grace at the moment

1831 The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.109 They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations.

An Apostle has gone away

My cousin "Chema" has entered the House of the Father. Partner of Jesus; 40 years in Peru giving multiple presents. Everything;  from the Love. The bridge is big:

I believe in God,

the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, 

his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the 

power of the Holy Spirit 

and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

was crucified, died, and was buried. 

He descended into hell.

On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge 

the living and the dead

I believe in the Holy Spirit, 

the holy catholic Church, 

the communion of saints, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

the resurrection of the body, 

and the life everlasting.

172 Through the centuries, in so many languages, cultures, peoples and nations, the Church has constantly confessed this one faith, received from the one Lord, transmitted by one Baptism, and grounded in the conviction that all people have only one God and Father.58 St. Irenaeus of Lyons, a witness of this faith, declared:

173 "Indeed, the Church, though scattered throughout the whole world, even to the ends of the earth, having received the faith from the apostles and their disciples. . . guards [this preaching and faith] with care, as dwelling in but a single house, and similarly believes as if having but one soul and a single heart, and preaches, teaches and hands on this faith with a unanimous voice, as if possessing only one mouth."59

You will not have a strange God...

I read this sentence "You will not have a strange God" and I like it because in the life of  people God is a strange...

1442 Christ has willed that in her prayer and life and action his whole Church should be the sign and instrument of the forgiveness and reconciliation that he acquired for us at the price of his blood. But he entrusted the exercise of the power of absolution to the apostolic ministry which he charged with the "ministry of reconciliation."42 The apostle is sent out "on behalf of Christ" with "God making his appeal" through him and pleading: "Be reconciled to God."43

But charity, drawn from the Eucharist above all, is always "as it were, the soul of the whole apostolate."³⁷⁹

25 To conclude this Prologue, it is fitting to recall this pastoral principle stated by the Roman Catechism:

 

The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love.¹⁹
