Saint Augustine of Hippo

St. Augustine of Hippo traveled all the "seas of knowledge" of his time, and was not satisfied until he reached the "Ocean" of our Lord Jesus Christ.

https://www.theaugustinians.com

The wisdom of St. Augustine is vast. And it is thanks to this groan of his of: "late I love you" where, thanks to discovering the Faith late, I caught it with more enthusiasm. And he squeezed the bunch to the maximum so that we could enjoy the best juice forever

And in this link we have a broader reference to his Biography and a very illustrative video to better know his Life:

😀 And thank goodness I come to the "Ocean" of Jesus Christ, 

because there is no sea... for such a sperm whale 😀

300 God is infinitely greater than all his works: "You have set your glory above the heavens."156 Indeed, God's "greatness is unsearchable".157 But because he is the free and sovereign Creator, the first cause of all that exists, God is present to his creatures' inmost being: "In him we live and move and have our being."158 In the words of St. Augustine, God is "higher than my highest and more inward than my innermost self".159

Exist exists: The Papal Tiara

The Papacy among its functions and symbols and objects has the Tiara

The Tiara is a arrangement of 3 crowns that reflect: 

https://www.vatican.va/news_services/press/documentazione/documents/sp_ss_scv/insigne/triregno_sp.html

"the triple power of the Pope: Father of kings, Rector of the world, Vicar of Christ)"

Father of the Kings: because he is a guide and counselor

Rector of the World: because Christ is King

and Vicar of Christ: for feeds the sheep

Beautiful object that carries great meaning and that must be shown and not go unnoticed

Because the benefit of showing them is greater. And so, by offering them, the Church transmits messages and Hope. 😀😀

And not showing them, we hide what we are, and this could reflect a lack that is not such.

How great is our Catholic Church!

2000 years and still Offering

and what LA is left!

2046 By living with the mind of Christ, Christians hasten the coming of the Reign of God, "a kingdom of justice, love, and peace."91 They do not, for all that, abandon their earthly tasks; faithful to their master, they fulfill them with uprightness, patience, and love.

Purification of the Holy Virgin Mary

Sometimes when praying the Holy Rosary one is surprised when one prays the mystery where the Virgin Mary had to go to the Temple to Purify herself.

Like the Baptism that Jesus Christ receives in the Jordan River from John the Baptist

And it is that God by infusing his People with a behavior that becomes a word, the Word, by inhabiting the Earth, realizes His Word

And the full of Grace, His Holy Mother too

144 To obey (from the Latin ob-audire, to "hear or listen to") in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself. Abraham is the model of such obedience offered us by Sacred Scripture. The Virgin Mary is its most perfect embodiment.

Saint Frances of Rome

The difference between the narration of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell that Dante and a Saint makes, is that in the case of Dante it is a Literary narrative with human origin and the case of a Saint the Divinity discovers a little the veil of what separates us an abyss 

This is the case of St. Frances Romana who in writings reflects her visions. She saw:

St. Frances Romana receiving Holy Communion

"the immensity of the starry sky, its splendor, and the enormous distance that separates some stars from others. Many of them seemed to him larger than the earth. The starry sky gave him an idea of an unknown and unimagined splendor."

And in the case of the first 2 previous sentences Science has shown it

It also reflects what Jesus Christ transmitted to him:

"And Christ said to the seer, 'I am the depth of divine power. I have created the sky, the earth, the rivers and the seas. I am divine wisdom. I am the height and the depth; I am the immense sphere, the height of love, the inestimable charity. By my obedience, founded on humility, I have redeemed mankind."

And he was going for something else

Alphonse was traveling

And the afternoon before his return, he had to pay a visit to a family friend and tried to excuse himself by leaving a note. But there was "something" that held him back

During the visit he began a Religious conversation with the friend of the Family who was Catholic and who told him about the Holy Virgin Mary and also gave him a medallion of "La Milagrosa" and a prayer. Alphonsus, a non-believer in the Holy Virgin Mary, took both objects to imply that this had no reason to exist. The fact is that, "something" made him take them

The next day with the trip completed and with the intention of leaving, his friend asks him to accompany him to a Church to ask for a responsory for a person he knew, and so he could appreciate the Art of the church. 

Alphonse was visiting the church... and in the little chapel of the Holy Virgin Mary..., this happens to Alphonse that he himself narrates:

"The whole building disappeared from my sight, I saw a great glow and in the midst of that glow on the altar appeared to me upright, splendid, full of majesty and sweetness the Virgin Mary as it is painted on the medal and smiled at me, she did not say anything to me, but I understood everything"

This is how our friend Alphonse became St. Marie Alphonse Ratisbonne

A beautiful story that you can read in this link:

everything starts well, mediates well and never ends 😀

644 Even when faced with the reality of the risen Jesus the disciples are still doubtful, so impossible did the thing seem: they thought they were seeing a ghost. "In their joy they were still disbelieving and still wondering."506 Thomas will also experience the test of doubt and St. Matthew relates that during the risen Lord's last appearance in Galilee "some doubted."507 Therefore the hypothesis that the Resurrection was produced by the apostles' faith (or credulity) will not hold up. On the contrary their faith in the Resurrection was born, under the action of divine grace, from their direct experience of the reality of the risen Jesus.

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":

https://www.icspublications.org/products/st-teresa-of-avila-the-interior-castle-study-edition

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

Impressed

St. John Bosco is an Italian Saint who is now in Heaven 😀

And among its virtues is that of having Dreams that warned of events in the future

And this time a dream is presented that by its language that captivates has to come from God. Because it reflects realities that internally you feel is true. And I say that it captivates you because it impresses the story, and a lot. And it does so as a warning, and because you can't stop reading it. St. John Bosco tells how he lived in his dream to be present in Hell:

https://es.catholic.net/op/articulos/7632/los-sueos-de-san-juan-bosco-sobre-el-infierno.html#:~:text=LOS%20SUE%C3%91OS%20DE%20SAN%20JUAN%20BOSCO%20SOBRE%20EL%20INFIERNO%E2%80%94%20A.D.%201860

(the link is in Spanish language because in English does not exist)

And I correctly say "lived"

And if you want to know why don't stop reading it

After reading it, praying about the part of the Creed that says about Jesus Christ: "And He Went Down to Hell" can be a way to know more, without covering everything, about what our Lord and Savior did for us

😀 How wonderful to have Saints

that tell us what can happen to us in our future 😀

631 Jesus "descended into the lower parts of the earth. He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens."475 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.476

Daniel the Prophet keeps a Daily Tone in the Faith

Prophet Daniel had a very good and very simple habit to connect with the Faith 😀 and also to maintain a daily tone:

"To this they replied, "Daniel, the Jewish exile, has paid no attention to you, O king, or to the decree you issued; three times a day he offers his prayer"

The text you will find in a Catholic Bible and in the book of Daniel Chapter 6 verse 14 (in textbooks it usually comes as Dan 6,14), here is a direct link:

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

The phrase refers to a prohibition that was made by the King that no divinity could be prayed, and yet Daniel kept his prayer 3 times a day 😀😀

Well, what simpler way to maintain a daily tone of Faith: To approach God with the heart every day (without imposing hours, but with times): 

1st time in the morning, 

a 2nd time at noon, 

and a 3rd time at sunset

And even beginning to live the Faith is a very simple Formula 😀😀

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. 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 marvellous things, far above the ordinary laws of nature."115

Thank you

How many times will it have come to our minds what it would be like to be able to hear the first Christians speak of the Faith.

Thanks to the "Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archaeology" we can get closer to them and contemplate where they walked, where they gathered, where they prayed, where they cried and where they smiled.

As the Commission mentions on its website, the visitor: "discover architectural and artistic wonders, find stories of families from the first Christian centuries. See figures and scenes with frescoes on the walls and vaults, often based on biblical pages intertwined with images of pagan classicism. Admire characters and intuit personal stories of the dead and the society in which they were immersed."

Below are the names of four martyrs of the Great Persecution:

Zoticos, Attalos, Kamasis, Filippos

28 In many ways, throughout history down to the present day, men have given expression to their quest for God in their religious beliefs and behaviour: in their prayers, sacrifices, rituals, meditations, and so forth. These forms of religious expression, despite the ambiguities they often bring with them, are so universal that one may well call man a religious being:

From one ancestor (God) made all nations to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would search for God and perhaps grope for him and find him - though indeed he is not far from each one of us. For "in him we live and move and have our being."2

1162 "The beauty of the images moves me to contemplation, as a meadow delights the eyes and subtly infuses the soul with the glory of God."32 Similarly, the contemplation of sacred icons, united with meditation on the Word of God and the singing of liturgical hymns, enters into the harmony of the signs of celebration so that the mystery celebrated is imprinted in the heart's memory and is then expressed in the new life of the faithful.

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

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

A bridge is a Bridge

This week listening to the radio I hear that a Kevin Hines person who would be going through an extremely difficult situation decided to jump from the Golden Gate to tragically resolve a difficult situation. And he tried to solve it at the cost of his own life.

Jumping the 75m height of the bridge to sea level (5 seconds +- of free fall). In that period of time he realized that the only thing that had no solution was the fact that he had jumped. And he also realized that everything else was temporary, transitory, not important enough to pay for with one's own life. At that moment and in the air itself he decided to change his body position to fall on his feet, and this saved his life

This is Kevin Hines:

And it has a website, in which it appears that he has made a documentary:

https://www.kevinhinesstory.com/

Yes an experience of those that show how important Life is, that it is something Divine, and that the rest of things although important, however important they are in the end are that ... 😀😀 things

How wonderful it is as Kevin Hines shows us to be able to go back to the beginning... even if only... just in case 😀😀

Well, let's toast today for our Life, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and M... 😀😀

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!

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

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):

A story between Beauty and the Vigour

Glory for the 41 Soldiers and Holy Heroes who in the 4th century before the Roman Empire gave it their all. They are:

The Forty-1 Martyrs of Sebaste

Roman soldiers first, and hosts of Christ after

With the first thing you pursue glory. With the latter, Divine Glory makes use of you

The situation was to honor to dead figures and preserve terrestrial life by losing the Soul, or to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to be faithful to what they lived for years, and with martyrdom to preserve the Soul by losing earthly life

The capacity of Martyrdom is not a human capacity, but is a Divine Gift that God bestows at a given moment, and there, the Human Will and the Divine become ONE in the face of the tragic moment. And this is conditioned, not achieved by purely human effort. It is worth the example of St. Lawrence who, having suffered martyrdom lying on a grill, at full fire asks to be turned around. The Divine intervenes so that the forces/laws of Nature otherwise impact the human body

The testimony itself is that these men began to be tortured, and the last torture was in spending days and nights in an icy lake until the cold nullified the body heat

They encouraged each other with songs, from Psalms and surely also with songs by Soldiers. Apparently the younger one was encouraged to give up. And this animated by his Mother who contemplated and encouraged him persisted

The bravery of these men was of such Testimony that it touched all present

So he looked like one of the 40s gave up, and left the lake to a place reserved for those who wished not to continue

Then the guardian who was in charge of the 40s not fleeing, and who was also a Soldier, in a feeling of martial recognition, also declared himself a Christian and joined the group to preserve the whole. And probably as a newly converted soldier, knowing that that gesture would keep the Moral

But the one who gave up was because first he was, and the initial merit belongs to him and here he is not taken away, and this is the ONE that is mentioned

It's Another who gets to Judge

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.
