Underneath the STARS.....




My People,


Good Morning! At times all of us wonder and at certain point we have this question if God is going to answer ‘my prayer’. The hardest thing to do is to hold on to the promises of God. It is a long road.


This is a part of a song I think, I love the words, it is from the movie 'August Rush'.

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night Neath the cover of the blue skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breeze that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine and blush

 
 

This is a movie that I loved watching. I missed the beginning of ‘August Rush’ – but it was worth the watch. It’s about love, patience and when you believe-dreams do come true. God is our biggest Motivator. Love always will find a way. No matter where you are, Love will bring us through.  
A story where a child uses his gift as a clue to finding while believing that his parents are alive...
This is the story of a young Irish guitarist and a sheltered young cellist who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square. They separate. Lyla realizes she is pregnant. After an argument with her father, she is struck by a car. She gives birth prematurely, and her father secretly puts her son up for adoption, allowing her to believe that the baby died.
Both Louis and Lyla give up their music careers. Eleven years later, Evan Taylor is living in a boys' orphanage where he meets Richard, a social worker. Evan has the ability to hear music wherever he is. Convinced that his parents will find him, Evan runs away to New York City, "following the music" in the hope it will lead him to his family.

Lyla is called to her father's deathbed and he admits that her child is alive in New York. Louis decides to reconnect with Lyla and flies to Chicago to find her. Due to misunderstanding, he ends up in New York, where he gets his band back together. In New York, Lyla goes to Jeffries' office and Jeffries identifies Evan as her son. She takes up the cello again and accepts an offer to perform with the Philharmonic at a series of concerts in Central Park.

In New York, Evans musical gift leads him to success but also gives him some trouble. A musician known as ‘Wizard’ gives Evan the stage name "August Rush". He uses Evan to make money and prevents him from achieving success. Seeing the posters that Jeffries has posted for the runaway Evan, Wizard destroys all the ones he finds, hoping to keep Evan and his gift for his own gain.

The Wizard and his "children" living is raided by the police. Evan takes refuge in a church where a girl, Hope introduces him to the piano and written music. He picks this skill so quickly that Hope gets the attention of the parish pastor, who enrolls August at the Juilliard School. Evan is granted an opportunity to play his music in Central Park in front of thousands of people.

Wizard pulls August (Evan) out of the school threatening August to tell the authorities about his true identity. On the day of the outdoor concert, August is forbidden by Wizard to attend. August meets Louis in the park and tells him of his dilemma and Louis encourages him to go. August leaves Wizard with help from Arthur, who also rebels, and flees to the concert.

There are three composers featured, of which he is the last; his mother is the cellist in the preceding performance. As Evan is conducting the orchestra in his rhapsody, Lyla and Louis come to the concert following the music again. The family finally get together!

Jeffries identifies August as Evan and heads for the concert. August arrives in time to conduct his rhapsody. Louis also arrives realizing Lyla was playing at the concert. August finishes his rhapsody and as he turns discover his parents, smiles knowing that he was always right about knowing they loved him and gratified that his faith in fate has proven itself.

 


 

Before anything appears to be happening in the natural, know this that God works overtime and behind the scenes. God’s moments are undefined and unexpected.  They happen “Suddenly”
 
Question - How long must I wait?
Answer - Don't lose hope because God is about to do a sudden thing! He is the author and finisher of our faith. What God has started, He will finish. For the Promise God has made in our lives, we need to learn to wait.

 
Isaiah 28:21 says," The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim..." David had been anointed king of Israel. He was in the position that God had for him when the Philistines came to seek him out. When something powerful is to be fulfilled in your life, it will always be tested. Hell will not let you come into the God ordained moment without a fight.
Perazim means, ‘a breakthrough’. It means that God reverses the natural order of things as He did with Jacob and Esau. It is a divine reversal- a blessing.

 
This is one of my favourites in the Bible-Joshua. I love his confident boldness, his daring ways. He was a committed defender of the people of Gibeon. He got into a battle with the enemy and was outnumbered. Joshua began to overcome the enemy but the sun started to go down. God told Joshua that he would be victorious.
The Bible says that Joshua called out to the sun and commanded it, "Sun be still!" God longs for us to have that faith in His word. He promised victory, Joshua believed. It was the longest day, in history where the Sun and Moon, stood still. God expects us to be daring in our faith.
 
Don't give up. Don’t stop believing! God is about to move in a mighty way!



 
We often wonder why we have to wait when God could have moved suddenly. The answer for each of us is - He needed me to learn how to wait. So the question is not if we'll wait, but rather how we’ll wait. And I believe how will determine how long.
A passive person hopes something good will happen but after a short time, he gives up. The expectant person believes the answer is just around the corner. His heart is full of hope. He wakes up every morning expecting to find his answer and suddenly what he’s been waiting for happens.
It’s like when a woman; carries inside her the promise of life. The moment she learns of her pregnancy, she knows the promise is fulfilled—it's just a matter of time.
We need to wait on God and trust Him with a simple faith. When our hearts are eagerly waiting to hear Then, God moves suddenly! 
Acts 16 tells of how Paul and Silas were attacked by a crowd, beaten and thrown in jail. Verse 24 says the jailer put them into the dungeon and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight, God showed up. Paul and Silas were praying and singing and began to worship the Lord. They began to wait on God.
Verses 25-26, "But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the [other] prisoners were listening to them, suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone's shackles were unfastened." God answered them suddenly!
When people patiently and expectantly wait on God in the midst of trying circumstances, God breaks through suddenly.
Stay full of hope and expectation. God's power is limitless, and He'll break through for each one of us.

 



 

God moves when you least expect. God can send you a sign or He might give you a vision. He might even give you a dream. That is God telling you to get ready because He is going to move fast. Have you ever been startled especially when you thought you were not up to it and God said ‘yes you are’?
When you are surrounded on all sides and you are by yourself, remember you are not.  God can come suddenly and rescue me and you.
In Acts 2:2 it says, “Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like tongues or flames of fire appeared and settled on each one of them and everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.”
Those 120 people had obeyed Jesus. He said to wait until the Spirit comes. They were waiting. They were praising, encouraging one another, and they had an expectation in their heart.
Do you have an expectation in your heart that God is going to move suddenly in your life? You need to have it, because God delights when you have that kind of faith.

 


God did humiliate and lower Himself. ‘He humbled and emptied Himself’. The greatest example of humility "the Word was made Flesh." By this union the Creator was united with the lowest. Jesus walked in Humility before teaching it. He practiced perfectly what He preached.

Day 13th June, 2015 – After the 7:30 evening mass. I stayed back.  I think it’s called the prayer service, meeting whatever. I was not keeping well, but I wanted to be there. When Jordan spoke and of all the times I have heard him, he never did speak something that would possibly hurt anyone.
‘Even if you are weak, God will hear you’. This is what one of the speakers said and I thought, wow did he just say that? When one of the Bible teachers says something like that, it sounds odd? Doesn’t it?
Then there was this lady, who came forward, and gave a figurative number for each parish. All I know is I heard numbers.  I think what she was trying to say is the number of people they can reach. So she quoted a 1500. And then there is this other lady, who is stylish but yet when she does the reading will remove her footwear. I hardly know her. Yet what she did surprised me. She immediately walks up to the mike and says you know through the net we can reach 5000 people. Competition it brings out the worst in people.
I was miserable listening to all the big talk. It was more about them and less of Jesus. Jesus approved of me going home.
This matters so much, because all this happened on the day of the Eucharistic Adoration.

During Eucharistic Adoration, we are to remain "silent" in His Presence and open ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist ... we become what God wants us to be!
Jesus waits for our little Acts of faith, adoration, love, thanksgiving, repentance and charity that we can offer Him.
Pope John Paul II in one of his homilies said, “It is pleasant to spend time with Him, to lie close to His breast like the Beloved Disciple and to feel the infinite love present in His heart ... If, in our time Christians must be distinguished by the “art of prayer”, how can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual conversation, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ present in the Most Holy Sacrament?”
 
He humbles Himself to come before us as a piece of bread... He is calling us to reflect on our own life's situations that call us to humility. Are we humble, as God wants us to be?
When we look upon the Sacred Host, Do our souls magnify the Lord - making Him more in focus, and larger to others around us?
 
Question we need to think on...ITs about Jesus!

 
 
 

Psalm 63, "O God, You are my God -- for You I long! For You my body yearns; for You my soul thirsts, like a land parched, lifeless, and without water. So I look to You in the Sanctuary to see Your power and glory. For Your love is better than life; my lips offer You worship! I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on Your name. My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor You!"

Jesus asks for so little....  yet, He gives so much! "The Eucharist - the whole Christ"
I thirst for you my LORD!
 
 

God has bigger dreams for our lives than we could ever imagine. We find God-sized dreams overwhelming, but no matter what don’t settle for anything less than God’s best.

Have you turned away from God’s dreams? If it is the case, it’s not too late. God never gives up. It simply means that we must remain faithful to His calling on our lives. If a dream dies, dream another dream. Look at it from another perspective. The dream is the same, only the way we look at it will change. God is a never a quitter and neither should you be.  

Joseph spent at least 10 years between the time of his dream and the realization of his dream. Part of that time, he spent in slavery. At least two years of that time, he spent in prison. But the dream still came true. God positioned Joseph in a place where he would be able to save his entire family, and all of Egypt as well. Joseph could have given up on the dream. He could have given up on God. He could have taken glory for himself upon the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream but, instead, Joseph remained faithful believing that God’s guiding hand was at work.

Between dreams, life happens. Will we give up on the dream? Or, will we remain faithful to His call, remaining in hopeful expectancy of the dream that God has given us?

And one day, perhaps when we least expect it, we may wake up to that bright and glorious morning, knowing that God did work His purpose out in our lives. God is faithful let us pray that we learn to be faithful too. Amen.

Jesus meek and humble of heart make my heart like unto Thine!

 

 


Day 13th June 2015 – After coming from church, I got to watch the latter half of the movie. This is something I believe about this movie. I’ll explain
When Lyla is asked why after so long she wants to look for her son, she responds. I've waited eleven years, two months, and fifteen days just to find out that he's alive!  I've been counting.

This is how her son, Evan responds to being questioned how long he has been in the orphanage. Eleven years and sixteen days. I've been counting.
 
Lyla always believed that her son was alive. At night she always felt that she could hear him!
Evan says this: Sometimes the world tries to knock it out of you. But I believe in music the way that some people believe in fairy tales. I like to imagine that what I hear came from my mother and father. Maybe the notes I hear, are the same ones they heard, the night they met. Maybe that's how they found each other. Maybe that's how they'll find me. I believe that once upon a time, long ago, they heard the music and followed it.

And this is what I believe that the words, thoughts, feelings are always going to be similar, because they are with approval from God. This is a movie, I won’t deny that, but have you never come across something that had made you feel oh my God, this is too good to be true.

And it is. That’s precisely the way I feel. I am living on God’s time now. Amen.

 
 
 
Love is a hope which comes with each sunrise
Love is the Promise as faithful as the colours of the Rainbow
Love is as gentle as the wings on the Butterfly
Love is each petal that makes it a whole.
Love is the magic of the stars

Love is the beauty of the Moon
Love is, Love is, Love is!
It is to you with every beat of my heart.

 

 
With all my Love,
For Love Prevails!
AnitA.

PRAYER: Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.

Happy Day!


 
My People,


Good Morning! Everybody has a dream. Not everybody achieves it quickly. And there are few people for whom it takes a lifetime of waiting.

None of us know what the future holds.
Each of us has to wait and see.
If you look carefully, the bud today will be the Rose tomorrow. Amen.


What do you do when you love someone? Do you sing? I mean, I know it’s an ongoing song.
After the rains have you watched the leaves shimmer? If you look closely the leaves have those tiny droplets of water. And you know it’s beautiful. You just know it is. No reason.
Or let’s say that there is a breeze coming in and you watch the leaves dance. And you are filled with that amazing feeling in the heart. Do you know why?
 
The heart has its reasons. What does it feel like in the heart, what would the words be and would you understand? Would you feel the depths of love, would you feel the pain? Would you feel the intensity?
Love is a song. It’s one heart to the other. But more than that, it is the whole of nature coming to the beat of the heart.
 
 
Love is an inspiration and this song I hope will make you see! You're The Inspiration
You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind
In my heart
In my soul
Baby


You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Want to have you near me
I want to have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"

And I know (And I know)
Yes I know that it's plain to see
So in love when we're together
Now I know (Now I know)
That I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know (Yes, you need to know )
Everywhere I go
You're always on my mind
You're in my heart
In my soul



You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Want to have you near me
I want to have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"
(No one needs you more than I)


Want to have you near me
I want to have you hear me saying
"No one needs you more than I need you"
(No one needs you more)
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind, no one needs you more than I




 
1 Samuel 16:7 states - The Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.”
The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
The prophet came to Jesse’s house to choose the next king. Samuel was going to choose the oldest Eliab. Samuel told Jesse it wasn’t any of the 6 sons presented. Jesse didn't include his son David. The moment Samuel saw David he said that’s the one.
Don’t set limitations on yourself. Don’t listen to people when they tell you that you don’t have what it takes. Don’t disqualify yourself.
God has the final say. When God put the dream in our heart, He gave us the ability to achieve it. Leave it to God. Trust in His plans. God will orchestrate everything to perfection.

 
 
 

111 - I learnt in addition to what I already know about the number 111, that each is one and three of the same. To me it best represents The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
123 - I have seen this number so many times that when I did find what it meant, I realized it was ‘Emmanuel’ meaning – God with us-Matthew 1:23. Just two days back I realized that it also meant three persons of the Holy Trinity.

First – Abba Father.
Scond - Jesus, the Son of God.
Third - The Holy Spirit.

 

Like Fr. Ashlyn, I say,
Thank You, Father.
Thank You, Jesus.
Thank You, Holy Spirit.

 

 

During our summer holidays my dad would drive us home from the airport. It would be an hour’s journey across the dessert. When my brother and I would watch the fire from a distance, we would know home is just 5-10 minutes away. The thing about this fire is it would never go off. It would burn 24/7.


Day 20th May, 2015 – After the celebration of the mass, I sit back with Jesus. There is this lady who wears a veil in the Church. After mass, she prays lifting her rosary hand. I know her only as an acquaintance.
She seats herself next to me and asks me if at home, If I have a life-size mirror. Obviously I was stunned with the question. She then tells me that Our Lady of Fatima, (I don’t know if mother Mary, spoke to her or she read from a book) told her to tell me not to mislead others with my sense of dressing.  She told me that the way I dress up, I lead men in the Church married or single to sin. She told me I was committing sin of omission. Believe me I had no words. Then she goes ahead to ask my name. I was in the Church. I had to hold my tongue. I told her Thank you.
If you caught a glimpse of me after that moment, you would know I cried. People can sometimes be real mean.  But this was my lesson to learn. God in His infinite wisdom looks at the Heart.
May 31st & June 7th – Both Sundays, she was sitting in the same line on the other side. At the time of Peace, I told Jesus – it’s difficult to look at her. I heard nothing from Jesus. I always smile but when I looked toward her, I kept a hold on the smile. I did not want her to come back to talking with me.  On the 7th after I wished Peace, I heard Jesus tell me the next time, you could smile.
The first time the 31st-Abba Father told me that I did well. Every part of my journey, I have never ever felt alone.

 
 

Day 21st – 23rd May, 2015 – Tridum at Mt. Carmel’s Church.
Day 22nd May, 2015 – When Fr. Ashlyn laid his hand on my head, and prayed over me a bit later I felt the Cross on my head. I knew I had to move, but my head, simply was in no position to want to move. Neither did my feet. I think it took couple of seconds (very long ones for me) to come to realization, that I had to move.
The three days, were spectacular. I don’t know what you call it choir or praise and worship. Whatever the term is I absolutely enjoyed every bit of the three days. I wish you would have been here. The people who were singing were absolutely wonderfully simple. Happy Days!

 

One of the days, I was in Church, it came to me that there is a purpose for everything let me explain what I myself came to understand. The fire that I would see would be a sign to what me and my brother knew as some distance away from home. This fire in my heart – is a sign that I’m this close to my home.



I was 9 when I first experienced Abba Father calling my name. As kids, we were never taught to ask for anything. Whatever my parents gave we accepted. (Growing up, there were times when I was a rebel-but that’s for another day)
My mom took me and my brother to the biggest toy store. I think I was lost and my mom realized she asked me if I wanted her to make a choice of which toy to purchase. I nodded my head.





Abba Father taught me how to ask for what I want. In the beginning, it was Abba Father, who would ask me knowing what I felt in my heart. Abba Father would remind me to “Ask”. I have finally learnt. To the greatest and the best, mine always and forever my Abba, Father-my life, my whole existence is Yours.
At 6 or 7 I first saw Jesus in my dreams. And I remember Jesus smile. My last dream was when I was 14 and then too Jesus was smiling. Some years back on 2 different occasions in my dream I had the ‘Body of Christ’. My dreams they are real as the present moment.
I remember my first birthday and the walk on the table to my birthday cake. That was the beginning of my journey with the Spirit of God, that’s where I can remember from. Those memories do not come by itself. It is and was always the Spirit of God.
Jesus meek and humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine!

 

The first time I attended the prayer meeting, we had to sit as per group of 7-8 people. Every group had a member who was in charge (I don’t know the correct term). We had to introduce ourselves in the group and her name is Rebecca. (Different spelling)
I love reading a lot. I loved reading William Shakespeare & Alfred Hitchcock. I would read a lot of Hardy boys and Nancy Drew. My favourite was Sherlock Holmes. But every now and then I would return to read Rebecca, I loved the story.  It used to be my favourite story book in school. I have read it countless times. One sign along the way.


The Body of Christ on two different occasions was carried up by one of the choir members and the other time by an Eucharistic minister and both were given another host as communion.
My lesson – Jesus falls and not a word my sweet Jesus says. All I could pray is ‘Teach me to be humble and I will be, but please don’t fall.’
 
 


I love the way Fr. William and Fr. Ashlyn always lead the ‘Our Father’ with the congregation joining in.
PRAYING THE OUR FATHER - THE SEVEN PETITIONS

The first three petitions "Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" draw us toward the glory of the Father. The last four, Give us this day our daily bread, forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evilas ways toward Him, commend our wretchedness to His grace.

Luke 11: (I like Luke.11, it’s my number)
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

 

 
First Request: HALLOWED BE THY NAME
It is extraordinary that we are able to approach God as Father. When we pray, the “Our Father”, we are doing out of obedience.
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name
Heaven – God’s home – is also our home. However quietly we speak He is so near that He will hear us… Deep within our soul dwells the Maker of heaven and earth.
Exodus 3:6 14-15 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
 
 

Second Request: THY KINGDOM COME.
It means let God’s will and purpose show through. It comes through in little moments when people do extraordinary things. That’s a life in which God is showing through… When we ask the Father ‘Thy kingdom come’; we are not going to receive it as soon as our prayer is finished but at the proper time.
Jesus was obedient unto death. He did not pick and choose but rather did His Father’s will. By prayer we can discern the will of God and obtain the endurance to do it.
 


Third Request: THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
To do God’s will is difficult and people want the easy option. I ask for help, from God to do His will.
The whole Constellation sings His praises and that is by the will of God.
The Stars twinkle and the Moon as beautiful as it is adorns the night sky.
The angels sing God’s praises, in a celestial choir that orchestrates the music to perfection. It is the symphony of symphonies.
The sky thunders and the lightning that at times accompanies it is a display of Gods intellectual magnificence.
The branches of the trees sway to the music that is not audible to the human ear but is wonderful to look at.
All the Earth, the unfathomable depths of the sea, the infinite universe-the whole constellation comes together in a choir singing to the Glory of God.
 
God’s moments are indefinable, indestructible, inaccessible, incomprehensible, indecipherable, insurmountable, indiscernible and incorruptible, precious and if you look at amazingly indescribable.
In all the words I have used here, all the “In’s” – they mean one thing, you want to wait on God – I want to wait on God, I want to wait on His will. When you get to where you need to be, His will-His time, it is Paradise-for the taking. It is His gift of love to the one who waits.
 

Matthew 26:39 - And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26:42 - He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Jesus the perfect Hero, Role model for us to do the will of the Father.

 

Fourth Request: GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
By daily bread we understand the Body and Blood of Christ of which He said, ‘Unless you eat of this bread’. Let us pray that in receiving His body and His blood, by that with which we see with our eyes we may receive that which we do not see, that is, almighty God.
 

 
Fifth Request: AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US...
We must ourselves be merciful to those who have offended us, for we shall be forgiven to the degree that we have forgiven others with.
Do we love God and our neighbour as Jesus commanded? ‘forgive us our trespasses’ is not just words but we’re expressing a willingness for our lives to be changed. Through God’s forgiveness of us we learn how to forgive. When we forgive we show we’ve been forgiven.
It’s a bit like teaching a child to do something. As parents, we always have to watch to our reactions to people. We have to watch our mouths, the way we speak. And then being kind is the most important aspect with being patient and loving at the same time. When our babies watch us, they imitate us. It’s not what you tell them as parents, it is what you are that they become. When we leave the world we leave a part of us back, our children. That’s the way Abba Father sees us, we are His children. We have to be like Him.
Jesus is everything that His Father is. Jesus showed us the way to His Fathers heart. 
To be a follower of Jesus… means that we must first learn that we are the forgiven…. to accept forgiveness with joy.
 

Sixth Request: AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
God tempts no one. We ask Him not to allow us to take the way that leads to sin. We pray for the strength of God.
"Lead us not into temptation" implies a decision of the heart: "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. . . .
It is by His prayer that Jesus vanquishes the devil in the dessert at the outset of His 3 year mission and in the garden of Gethsemane in the struggle of His agony. In this petition to our heavenly Father, Christ unites us to His battle and His agony.
 

Seventh Request: BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Victory over darkness was won once for all at the Hour when Jesus gave Himself up to death on a Cross-to give us His life.
Deliver us, Lord, from every evil and keep us free from sin. Amen.

 

 

What does love do to the heart? Love is like a fire. The heart is enflamed with love. It burns and burns and burns.
I’m learning that the intensity to love and the immensity to feel it just grows. Love sets the heart on fire a fire that makes the heart burn and this burning does not stop and the ache it causes is something I can’t express. Maybe there are no words. Maybe it will come in time, like it always does.
 
I would like to say this for now - Don’t let people define you. You are who God says you are. You are talented, smart and the apple of His eye! Don’t let yesterday, be a trouble for today. Today will never be repeated. Live it beautifully and don’t ever be afraid.
 




With all my Love,
For Love Prevails!
AnitA.

 
 


PRAYER: Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.

Thank You, Father.
Thank You, Jesus.
Thank You, Holy Spirit.
