Beauty

To approach the small is to contemplate the most beautiful things that God has created: A flower, a bird, a butterfly, etc ...

https://slidetodoc.com/jeden-morgen-beginnt-das-leben-dauernd-ist-es-2/

Light reflects to us the beauty of shapes, and colors, and dimensions 

For example, this flower in such a small space, has up to 5 different colors and

different shapes and heights; And in everything, it's a beautiful composition

😀 God is an Artist and his brush gives Life 😀

32 The world: starting from movement, becoming, contingency, and the world's order and beauty, one can come to a knowledge of God as the origin and the end of the universe.

As St. Paul says of the Gentiles: For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.7

And St. Augustine issues this challenge: Question the beauty of the earth, question the beauty of the sea, question the beauty of the air distending and diffusing itself, question the beauty of the sky. . . question all these realities. All respond: "See, we are beautiful." Their beauty is a profession [confessio]. These beauties are subject to change. Who made them if not the Beautiful One [Pulcher] who is not subject to change?8

We are the fruit of minute 1

A day ago, not long ago, in the subway I saw a couple with a very nice girl and the Parents also and we greeted each other for an anecdote and talked a little. And as a result of that conversation I realized that we are the fruit of minute 1

From minute 1 when we were conceived

And also, and above all, We are Fruit of minute 1 where our Parents met

From there and if the couple goes well logically, if we are born, we are the fruit of that first moment, of that first moment where God was also present and where the couple perhaps realizes that they are for each other.

This is why all children always ask their parents, "How did you meet?"

And it is that God, always thinks things 😀 very well

And when it matches, it's never by chance.

😀 and that's why He never misses that minute 1 😀

1297 The consecration of the sacred chrism is an important action that precedes the celebration of Confirmation, but is in a certain way a part of it. It is the bishop who, in the course of the Chrism Mass of Holy Thursday, consecrates the sacred chrism for his whole diocese. In some Eastern Churches this consecration is even reserved to the patriarch:

The Syriac liturgy of Antioch expresses the epiclesis for the consecration of the sacred chrism (myron) in this way: "[Father . . . send your Holy Spirit] on us and on this oil which is before us and consecrate it, so that it may be for all who are anointed and marked with it holy myron, priestly myron, royal myron, anointing with gladness, clothing with light, a cloak of salvation, a spiritual gift, the sanctification of souls and bodies, imperishable happiness, the indelible seal, a buckler of faith, and a fearsome helmet against all the works of the adversary."

The rain... a Miracle

Perhaps being in the rainy season gives us to think if the Rain will not be one of those Miracles that God does.

Because... when it rains, it rains the right way

It could rain falling all the water at once... plof!... no thanks 😀

Or with the thickest drops, so... well they would be real projectiles

Or.........

And yet from a height of around 8,000 meters, that's 8km high!! the water falls properly...

Like snowflakes, which fall... adequately...

Yes, the appearance is that the Rain is an authentic Miracle of God because it cares and takes care of us 😀😀

If God exists, why does He allow...?

When Tragedies occur in the human always arises the question of permissiveness in the Divine:

"If God exists, why does He allow...?"

The author of "The Odyssey" already expressed in the VIII century before Christ:

"It is to be seen how men relentlessly blame the gods by accusing them of all their evils. And it is they themselves who bring for their own follies, their excess of sorrows."

Taking it to the Catholic plane, if God has given you the Life, the Gifts and through this you have found the Faith, the responsibility for the acts is ours. God is a Father who gives the freedom to decide, otherwise, it would be a permanent Guardian

No matter how much time passes, Homer already anticipates that the tesituras are always repeated 😀😀

324 The fact that God permits physical and even moral evil is a mystery that God illuminates by his Son Jesus Christ who died and rose to vanquish evil. Faith gives us the certainty that God would not permit an evil if he did not cause a good to come from that very evil, by ways that we shall fully know only in eternal life.

Opening the window to proclaim outward that Jesus is Hope

This week I have made a friend who among her main virtues has: To refine sweetly with words, to define what she feels in her heart Jesus did 

His blog is a beautiful song representative of a cry of a Generation that wishes, who longs for, to get closer to Him

In a set of Poems written from the experience of all the good that faith brings, it reflects the experience of what is produced by living the Faith, the situations and what they produce. Both for Her and for Her Environment, and this is a very remarkable aspect, because, it is not only how I live "I" my Faith, but how we Experience, Live and Enjoy it together to improve the Environment

And here are some bits 😀😀

From "Jesus, I am looking for your Kingdom":

With you Lord, we cannot sink,

In any case flood, flood us with your currents of Love and Grace,

That they expect everything,

That they can do everything,

And that they reach everything.

[. . .]

I see your Kingdom in young people who are brave and say NO

To the currents of the world,

To follow YOURS.

From "Poem to the Beating Heart of Love":

What will be there; How do you do it, Lord?

Hidden behind gold, wood or concrete,

You are there, waiting for us...

274 Nothing is more apt to confirm our faith and hope than holding it fixed in our minds that nothing is impossible with God.

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.

Life Always Prevails

Visiting a while ago the website of the Diocese of Alcalá de Henares I was struck by this photo:

It is the photo that expresses two existing realities:

a) That of the Nature of the Mother who calls her Hij@ abortad@ 

b) And that of the Creature that exists and that is with God, and that with a gesture of tenderness approaches and comforts her. She doesn't feel that comfort (there may be times when she does) but generally doesn't

The fact that a certain action can be regarded as a right can be regarded as a right may be temporally limited

The reality is that Nature does not know about Tessituras

Nature is always the same, and knows that any action that involves eradicating health is definitely a crime

Yes: Nature knows that any action that involves eradicating health is definitely a crime

They are millions of thousands of years in which Nature generates and gives life in the same way. Exactly the same. And Nature will end up imposing itself, to make the Human being see that Abortion does not generate anything useful

For Life; it is Life because it gives Life and generates Life

And that a Creature (the Human Being) who depends on Nature tries to tell Nature what to do (to do can be done). But it gives me that the Intelligent posture is to know that a Creature (the Human Being) is not going to change the Course of Nature. Because you can't

God the creator of Nature as we know it does not know about Abortions. Because he only knows about Life, because God is Life itself. That is why the Criaturita does not die. Return to the Father so that one day they can meet

What we do on Earth is finite. 

and we must aspire to the Divine 

because the Divine is always Life

2274 Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being.

Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, "if it respects the life and integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe guarding or healing as an individual....

It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not be the equivalent of a death sentence."81

You are Poetry

If Love is what moves the World; Poetry is the tachograph of its throbbing

This week reading San Juan de la Cruz (Saint John of the Cross) you are amazed at how someone can put exalted words to a feeling and make it revive by evoking it the reader

That's because the Heart flows through the arm, reaches the hand and guides the pen

Below are some fragments of texts by San Juan de la Cruz Saint John of the Cross since S. XVI:

From "The Living Flame of Love":

1. Oh, living flame of love

That tenderly woundest my soul in its deepest centre,

Since thou art no longer oppressive, perfect me now if it be thy will,

Break the web of this sweet encounter

From Spiritual Canticle (from The Bridge to The The Bridgegroom)

Let us rejoice, O my Beloved!

Let us go forth to see ourselves in Your beauty,

To the mountain and the hill,

Where the pure water flows:

Let us enter into the heart of the thicket.

Yes, we can find ourselves in these lines because previously we have been loved, and giving ourselves to Light, we can love 😀😀

It makes manifest the fulfillment of the wedding feast in the Father's kingdom, where the faithful will drink the new wine that has become the Blood of Christ.157

A nice task for summer

Well, summer is coming up and you have to plan what to do

Logically you have to rest and disconnect a little that is an annual break that comes very well

And a very interesting proposal to do something is to take advantage of the Summer Months which are 4 to become "An Expert" in the 4 Gospels, for example. Well 😀 or at least dig as deep as possible into them. namely:

June Gospel of St. Mark (In textbooks it usually comes as 'Mc')

https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PW3.HTM

Julio Evangelio de San Matthew (In textbooks it usually comes as 'Mt')

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

August Gospel of St. John (In textbooks it usually comes as 'Jn')

https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PX8.HTM

September Gospel of Luke (In textbooks it usually comes as 'Lc')

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

It is recommended to follow the following method:

1) I see a film about the Gospels that may well be the one made by director Franco Zeffirelli: Jesus of Nazareth

2) I read the gospel of the month I play, you can use the 4 weeks of the month to make the reading 😀 so with peace of mind

3) The doubts I can write down and once a week I pass through a Catholic Church and asking for the Cure looks after you delightedly (if you do not have the Holy Gospels you can take advantage to ask them that will provide you with a safe copy)

Well, so in a little summer, for you have managed to become "An Expert" in the 4 Gospels that is not bad at all

It will always be Light that will guide you in your day to day

And you will also learn (among many other things), that each Evangelist is associated with an animal

except one

Who's Who? 😀😀

The Smile of Jesus

Yes, definitely Jesus when Resurrected smiled

There is no doubt: Mission Accomplished. Hope of Eternal Life bestowed on Humanity. And Death Overcome

As I would also smile when resting in Bethany for example or when walking with the Apostoles (I imagine some Roman joke would make 😀😀)

Can there be anything more divine than making someone smile?

And with his Holy Mother he would smile too. She would not make Mary smile at her Child, a thousand times, and as a teenager too, and as an adult it would be He who makes her smile

Good Prayer to Visualize Jesus Smiling for the Resurrection

because it smiles at us

hallelujah!

736 By this power of the Spirit, God's children can bear much fruit. He who has grafted us onto the true vine will make us bear "the fruit of the Spirit: . . . love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. "129 "We live by the Spirit"; the more we renounce ourselves, the more we "walk by the Spirit."130

Through the Holy Spirit we are restored to paradise, led back to the Kingdom of heaven, and adopted as children, given confidence to call God "Father" and to share in Christ's grace, called children of light and given a share in eternal glory.131

Dedicated to Radio María's "Among Friends" program

Listening the song of Radio Maria's "Between Friends" show for years wanting to know what song it was. I could have called and asked, but he gave me to look for him, like this, throwing myself into the pool. And I've finally found it, and the lyrics have... your message. The song is called:

"Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"

The song tells the story of a man who was usually in jail. And separated from his wife for 3 years he doubts whether to return home

The song itself is the journey on the bus: He takes the path with doubts of whether she will accept him again, and warning her by letter asks her that if she wishes her to return, in the old Oak next to the house, hang a yellow ribbon

And.......

I invite you to listen to the song and look for the lyrics:

He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens." The Apostles' Creed confesses in the same article Christ's descent into hell and his Resurrection from the dead on the third day, because in his Passover it was precisely out of the depths of death that he made life spring forth:

Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead, and shed his peaceful light on all mankind, your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

The heart makes everything throbb

A few years ago a friend died a dog. And because he knew I was from parish he asked me: 

George, is there a Heaven for Dogs?

It was not only the doubt he conveyed but the logical consolation he longed for. And it occurred to me to tell him about St. Francis of Asses' relationship with animals; and other Saints, who express the good Guardianship that man must make of Nature and ultimately of Creation

Can an animal raise its "thought" and reach God?

To this day it remains a question

Is Nature closer to God than human beings?

Undoubtedly, speaking broadly, on every petal of a Rose is not that God is; is that it is God who manifests himself directly

Does God keep the animals that have passed away?

To this question one day I will have the answer, surely 😀😀

Perhaps the right thing to do when there's a loss is to close your eyes and say thank you for her. Because the heart that keeps everything, even if something dies, makes it throbb

2416 Animals are God's creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory.197 Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals.

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

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

1156 "The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this pre-eminence is that, as a combination of sacred music and words, it forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy."²⁰ The composition and singing of inspired psalms, often accompanied by musical instruments, were already closely linked to the liturgical celebrations of the Old Covenant. The Church continues and develops this tradition: "Address . . . one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart." "He who sings prays twice."^{21 (}Eph 5:19; St. Augustine, En. in Ps. 72,1:PL 36,914; cf. Col 3:16.)

The Construction of God (I) The CAPstone

With a Building if you get all the pieces, at the last, you have only a piece

The name of this unit is "CAPStone" of "KEY Stone" and it is the stone that project a building

For this, in the Catholic Church the altar is a Stone. Because the CAPStone is JesusChrist. Then the project of the structure of a Catholic Church makes from this CAPStone: The design is created around this CAPStone

" Altar = CAPStone = JesusChrist "

And... where are the rest of the Stones?

The rest of the stones are the Saints. They are Hundreds, Thousands Millions of People that they were in this planet and they did the Good. And they Live

So, the gates of the hell will not prevail over Catholic Church. Because the death can not retain the Life (because the death is not the Lord of the Life) then the death is not the owner of the Life. Can not Govern the life

Then the Sould (awares or not) decides:

Or returns to Good, or not returns

God always wants that we return to her  

at the next post, the text will continues...

756 "Often, too, the Church is called the building of God. The Lord compared himself to the stone which the builders rejected, but which was made into the corner-stone. On this foundation the Church is built by the apostles and from it the Church receives solidity and unity. This edifice has many names to describe it: the house of God in which his family dwells; the household of God in the Spirit; the dwelling-place of God among men; and, especially, the holy temple. This temple, symbolized in places of worship built out of stone, is praised by the Fathers and, not without reason, is compared in the liturgy to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem. As living stones we here on earth are built into it. It is this holy city that is seen by John as it comes down out of heaven from God when the world is made anew, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.148
