The Official International Association of Exorcists

The Official International Association of Exorcists was founded in 1994 by Father Gabriele Amorth and Father René Laurentin

https://www.aieinternational.it/

The task is not easy. The Apostles themselves, in their first journeys, already claim to JesusChrist, in the Gospels, not having been able to cast out demons.

And Jesus Christ replies that for some demons "Fasting and Prayer" is necessary. And it is that Jesus Christ knows them well because as a shepherd he knows his sheep, and the most wayward also

In fact, one could even say that a Gospel in itself is an Exorcism. Because it reflects us and constantly helps and teaches us how to turn away from evil and abide in JesusChrist who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Full are the Gospels of exorcisms and that is that Evil exists. And this is the propagation of the Gospel: that they know You who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

2 So that this call should resound throughout the world, Christ sent forth the apostles he had chosen, commissioning them to proclaim the gospel: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." 4 Strengthened by this mission, the apostles "went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that attended it."5

Mini, but mini mini, Holiness Course

If you have not confessed for years you can start with a General Confession (in this any Catholic Priest Helps you delightedly)

If you are of frequent confession, you can start already in the next Confession

And having confessed to you:

Already in the first 5 minutes you are Saint (assuming that in the first 5 minutes you have not committed any sin)

The necessary thing is that those 5 minutes become 10 minutes

    And those 10 minutes in 20 minutes

        And those 20 minutes in 1 whole hour

            And so get to the full morning or the full afternoon 

                And then the next whole day

                    and add days in this condition

Well, it's easy to get started. And at any point, if you sin, you go back to confession and start with the 5 minutes so that they become 10 minutes and...

😀 You will see how more and more, you will reach more time 😀

And the Catholic Priest Himself will discover more aspects

1695 "Justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God,"13 "sanctified . . . (and) called to be Saints,"14 Christians have become the temple of the Holy Spirit.15 This "Spirit of the Son" teaches them to pray to the Father16 and, having become their life, prompts them to act so as to bear "the fruit of the Spirit"17 by charity in action. Healing the wounds of sin, the Holy Spirit renews us interiorly through a spiritual transformation.18 He enlightens and strengthens us to live as "children of light" through "all that is good and right and true."19

Saint Saint Teresa of Jesus of Avila

Apology is made to St. St. Teresa of Jesus of Avila for writing about Her

Woman of her time and of all times; and is who it is:

By Santa

By Mystique

By Doctor

By His Writing

For your Sensitivity

and by Mujer de Letras y Ciencia (which I know she will like this)

Not without all this you can write a book like "The Interior Castle":

Such a book is not written walking toward God, it is written back, to tell others.

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

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 😀😀

1335 The miracles of the multiplication of the loaves, when the Lord says the blessing, breaks and distributes the loaves through his disciples to feed the multitude, prefigure the superabundance of this unique bread of his Eucharist.156 The sign of water turned into wine at Cana already announces the Hour of Jesus' glorification. 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

1036 The affirmations of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion: "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."⁶¹⁶

Since we know neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where "men will weep and gnash their teeth."⁶¹⁷

The Certainty of Praying as Jesus Prayed

In Jesus' conversations with Nicodemus the Holy Gospels were not mentioned because they had not yet been written

They were written after the Resurrection of Jesus, about 40 years. The first written gospel is that of St. Mark around the year 70

So Jesus prayed with nothing of the New Testament, himself being the incarnation of the Gospels

And from the books of the Old Testament there are many of them with which Jesus could have prayed, but which ones in Papyrus there would be in the Synagogue of Jesus or what was recited?, or which fragment would he choose?, we do not know. We can assume that of the first five books of the Bible there would be copies of: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. This set of 5 books is called Pentateúco

With what Jesus sure prayed was with the 150 Psalms:

https://www.catholic.org/bible/book.php?id=23&bible_chapter=92

(Link to all the Psalms)

From "Swan Lake", a Swan

among 150

And surely this Psalm that is for Saturdays could be one of his Favorites that begins like this:

Psalm and Canticle number 92-91 For the day of Saturday:

2 It is good to thank the Lord | and touch for your name, O Most High; 3Proclame thy mercy in the morning | and at night your fidelity, 4with ten-string harps and lauses, | about arpeggios of cítaras. 5 Your actions, Lord, are my joy, | and my jubilation, the works of your hands. 6O magnificent are thy works, Lord, | how deep your designs!

The Psalms are a set of 150 Songs. So surely you will find one that in a certain circumstance can help you transmit to God what you desire: Praise, prayer, non-conformity, joy, singing, etc...

Especially because they help to express, what you are feeling 

to move it to God with 😀😀

2589 Certain constant characteristics appear throughout the Psalms: simplicity and spontaneity of prayer; the desire for God himself through and with all that is good in his creation; the distraught situation of the believer who, in his preferential love for the Lord, is exposed to a host of enemies and temptations, but who waits upon what the faithful God will do, in the certitude of his love and in submission to his will. The prayer of the psalms is always sustained by praise; that is why the title of this collection as handed down to us is so fitting: "The Praises." Collected for the assembly's worship, the Psalter both sounds the call to prayer and sings the response to that call: Hallelu-Yah! ("Alleluia"), "Praise the Lord!"

What is more pleasing than a psalm? David expresses it well: "Praise the Lord, for a psalm is good: let there be praise of our God with gladness and grace!" Yes, a psalm is a blessing on the lips of the people, praise of God, the assembly's homage, a general acclamation, a word that speaks for all, the voice of the Church, a confession of faith in song.40

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.

Resolutely Britain is the land of Great Bishops already mentioned in this Blog:

Thomas Moro, and Thomas Becket, and...

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):

and the neighbor as...

In my Catechesis I like to say that:

"You will love God above all things

and the neighbor as God loves us"

Yes, because seeking the common good, loving/treating the neighbor is the way that Jesus of Nazareth does, Christ, is undoubtedly a success

The way Christ looks and loves His Church

1825 Christ died out of love for us, while we were still "enemies."100 The Lord asks us to love as he does, even our enemies, to make ourselves the neighbor of those farthest away, and to love children and the poor as Christ himself.101

The Apostle Paul has given an incomparable depiction of charity: "charity is patient and kind, charity is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Charity does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Charity bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."102

2 raised to 4th power equals 16

Deciding to build one's life is not easy

And this is what the Bonell Family knows a lot about

This Marriage (2) has achieved: 1.create, 2.build, 3.maintain, (4) Empower and give life to 16 Children

They are a Family of 18 Members. This is called building life in the way one has thought but in a very clear way

God's love has taken root in this Christian family that currently asks God to increase the Family

Can there be greater longing in this life than Multiplying it? 😀😀

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

Let's Go China

China is a Great Culture with Great People

I can't say less about the Chinese people I know

And of course, my Catholic Church is present there, Evangelizing where the Boat of San Pedro does not always find calm waters.

The evangelization is not working easy

Cardinal Joseph ZEN is very informed and very aware of this reality that touches us about our Chinese Brothers as it appears in this recent interview:

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.)

Living Life, you can live it with Faith, or without Faith

With both options you walk the Earth, you live, you share with the people, you interact

This is the element that makes you transced, it does that you connect with the Divine Reality that we do not watch and who have Faith live

This image is an example:

It is like a lift that takes you straight to Heaven

The Faith connect you with the Supernatural, with the Divine, with God

Without a doubt it is the best we can offer

14 Those who belong to Christ through faith and Baptism must confess their baptismal faith before men.¹⁶ First therefore the Catechism expounds revelation, by which God addresses and gives himself to man, and the faith by which man responds to God (Section One). The profession of faith summarizes the gifts that God gives man: as the Author of all that is good; as Redeemer; and as Sanctifier. It develops these in the three chapters on our baptismal faith in the one God: the almighty Father, the Creator; his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour; and the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, in the Holy Church (Section Two).

And with the universal actitud, opens windows on the walls for the Rays of God

And this building has their Rose Window: The Virgin Mary like lighthouse guide the Holy Church as a star to its Destiny

How discard the Construction of God? It is for our disposition for enjoy it and for give to know to the World

The Construction of God (II) Flints of Granite

The Saints make that the Catholic Church endures over time

Where they acted and today act, they are solid stone that connected to the construction keep the Church. Because:

Is the person who watching on other way

makes the affairs on other way

The People askself: "Why do they do the affairs on this way?" and they acknowledge "the work" like Mother Theresa of Calcuta

Mr. Bosco (Education)

Francis Xavier (Evangelization)

Maximiliano Kolbe (Resignation) Killed in a concentration camp

Augustine of Hippo (Philosofy)

Isidore the Laborer and Maria Torribia (Wedding)

And they are Timeless (like Flints of Granite)

And Today, they will pilot the AirPlane like they pilot theirs airplanes years ago. They do not know to pilot an AirPlane, but how they want, they do and here is the Holiness

And the AirPlanes....... the congregations and religious orders

We are like Birds, Pigmeons, so the Sould (awares or not) decides:

1804 Human virtues are firm attitudes, stable dispositions, habitual perfections of intellect and will that govern our actions, order our passions, and guide our conduct according to reason and faith. They make possible ease, self-mastery, and joy in leading a morally good life. The virtuous man is he who freely practices the good.

The moral virtues are acquired by human effort. They are the fruit and seed of morally good acts; they dispose all the powers of the human being for communion with divine love.

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:

God always wants that we return to her

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
