Beauty

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

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

A path that leads to life

In Ukraine there is a very nice place called "The Tunnel of Love"

It is a place where the Vegetation, over the years, has created a corridor taking advantage of the continuation of a railway and has been so beautiful:

And where the Lovers walk, and walk, and walk... 😀 together

Don't ask these trees, plants, flowers, insects, fungi, birds, mammals about the War.

They will undoubtedly have theirs, but they will never generate one that ell@s mism@s as a species can make them disappear, simply because their answer would be: "That is absurd." 

😀 And it is that the Nature of Life; knows a lot 😀

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 😀😀

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

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:

525 Jesus was born in a humble stable, into a poor family.²⁰² Simple shepherds were the first witnesses to this event. In this poverty heaven's glory was made manifest.²⁰³ The Church never tires of singing the glory of this night:

The Virgin today brings into the world the Eternal

and the earth offers a cave to the Inaccessible.

The angels and shepherds praise him

and the magi advance with the star,

For you are born for us,

The Blue Lady

Listening to Radio Maria, there is a program that presents a Nun with Extraordinary Virtues

They call her "The Blue Lady", and her name is Sister Mary of Agreda

Great Marian Mystic who wrote a Book about the Virgin Mary and which is called "The Mystic City of God":

The Mystic City of God, the history or life of Our Lady, begins to deal with Mary's presence in the divine plan of creation, predestined together with Christ Jesus, her Son, Firstborn of every creature, to be her Mother. So from the first moment of his Conception in the divine mind, Pure, Immaculate, free from all sin was created. It was required by her unique dignity to be the worthy Mother of God.

A book that must be beautiful

In addition this Nun had the Gift of Bilocation:

1. prnl. One person's saying: To be in two different places at once.

And nothing less than that located in Soria was also bilocated in North America during the seventeenth century

And many more things are known about this Nun than is at the height of San Alfonso María de Ligorio, no less

To learn more about Sister Maria de Agreda there is a very interesting and complete website:

The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Supernatural effect

Much has advanced and discovered Science to "explain" (giving it a close meaning) to what has not been discovered

Philip Callahan, (biophysicist, USDA entomologist, NASA consultant)

He studied the tilma where the image of the Virgin Mary appears in her advocation of the Virgin of Guadalupe

And his approaching explanation of what has not been observed and uncovered is reflected by the Research Team as:

"Our discovery of the absense of undersketching in Guadeloupe and our inability to explain the remarkable state of preservation of uncovered cactus fabric, as well as the infamous brightness of the paintings or dyes used in the original parts of the painting put Dr. Callahan and me firmly in the ranks of those who believe the image was supernaturally created"

Translated text from the University of Chicago article

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/jar.39.3.3629680?journalCode=jar

Dr. Callahan reflected the study conducted in "The Virgin of Guadalupe: An infrared Study" (Wasington, DC, CARA, 1981)

Well, the result is that it is observed, and that it has nothing to do with what is discovered (according to Science) is that:

The belief that the image of tilma has a supernatural origin

it is CONSISTENT

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.

C.S. Lewis' Christian Touch in Narnia

To have a guide that tell you why the meaning of someting inside a film is fantastic

This is the case with The Heptalogia Narnia and its Christian meaning



You watch in the movies and you read in the books of Narnia details that evoke you to the Christian, but:

What is the common thread the author wanted to give you? 

What is the order of creation of the books?

Who does Aslan represent?

What is the relationship between Faith, Christianity and Narnia?

Well, in this video, these questions, and others are revealed to us:

Like a Tale of Dickens, the other day starts to snow and I hear the strong voice of a boy from a window: "It is snowing!, It is snowing!"

I liked to thing that perhaps it was the first time that he is watching it snow and I feeled very well to think that I shared with him his bright look because he watched it in books or films before and now he live it himself

Once our reason has grasped the idea of God's almighty power, it will easily and without any hesitation admit everything that [the Creed] will afterwards propose for us to believe - even if they be great and marvelous things, far above the ordinary laws of nature."¹¹⁵
