My people,
Good Morning! I love you so very much, that the words I write seem so very little to what I feel in my heart for you. Now if you could in your thoughts put a supposition that someone I love told me this, do you know what I would do? I would climb the highest peak of the mountain and scream it out loud so that the whole world would know. What would I say out aloud, I do not quiet know. But most certainly, I would be filled with hope. HOPE is one of the most wonderful words, isn’t it? And yet that is what keeps us going.

But most certainly, I would be filled with hope. HOPE is one of the most wonderful words, isn’t it? And yet that is what keeps us going.
In Job 11:18-19 we read-You will be secure, because there is
hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down,
with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.
When your heart is gladdened with HOPE, you want to sing. Life
is beautiful. It is the Gift of God. And it is especially beautiful when you
walk with God.
This is one of the hymns, I love to sing, and it’s called
‘Walking with the Lord’ it goes as follows,
Walking with
the Lord,
We are walking in the morning
Lift up your hearts,
For you are walking with God
Singing to the Lord.
We are singing in the sunshine.
Lift up your hearts
For you are singing to God
Hand in hand with every one,
We are walking, walking,
Black and white and brown together,
We are walking in the morning
Lift up your hearts,
For you are walking with God
Singing to the Lord.
We are singing in the sunshine.
Lift up your hearts
For you are singing to God
Hand in hand with every one,
We are walking, walking,
Black and white and brown together,
Walking,
walking, singing new songs now,
Living new
lives, building new bridges,
Walking distant
miles,
Well we are walking with the Lord.......
Well we are walking with the Lord.......
There are times when I often wonder, how and why as a human race
we fail to love? Most recently, in fact just a couple of days back, I think, we
had two incidents one on the first page of the newspaper and the other was part
of the international news. The first page stated of a doctor who died of a
heart attack on the train. Two weeks later, nobody to perform his last rites.
The only relative he had, did not want anything to do with him.
The other incident read of a heartbreaking scene, in which the
Dutch giraffes give kisses and said farewell to a terminally-ill cancer patient
who spent his entire adult life caring for them.
A 54-year old man, Mario, was able to have his dying wish to say
goodbye to the animals he considered family. Mario was wheeled into the
giraffes’ enclosure so he could bid them farewell.
The giraffes recognized Mario even though he was wrapped in
blankets. In this snapshot, Mario lies in his hospital bed while one of his
giraffes leans over, sniffs him and then plants a big wet lick on his cheek.
Isn’t that sweet? Imagine as humans we fail to love and be here
for each other. Two contrasting events, on a day, one where human beings failed
to show love and compassion to another. In this incident an animal leads by
example. Need I say more?
From my childhood days, I love this miracle the most. I love St.
Anthony’s humility, that’s what makes this miracle my most favourite one.
St Anthony preached to the heretics for several days, but they
not only resisted his words, but were obstinate, refusing to listen to him.
When men ignored his preaching, St Anthony went down by the river and began to speak to the fish. As he spoke a great multitude of fish approached the bank of the river. All kept their heads out of the water.

At his words, the fish began to open their mouths, and bow their
heads to express their reverence and show forth their praise.
St Anthony, seeing the reverence of the fish towards their Creator, rejoiced greatly in spirit, and said with a loud voice: "Blessed be the eternal God; for the fishes of the sea honour him more than men without faith, and animals without reason listen to his word with greater attention than sinful heretics."
The fish stayed there listening attentively, as if they could reason. When the men witnessed what St. Anthony did, they all came back after which St Anthony sent away the fishes, with the blessing of God.

Whenever you pray, keep good intentions in your heart. God
listens. How can I bring this forth? Let’s say I have a prayer in my heart, I
pray, God please grant me this request that I so desire “……......”
God’s answer to your Prayer the first time is a YES.
God’s answer a millionth time is YES.
NOW
Prayers take time to be answered. The answer is a YES-the
manifestation is what takes time. And that would depend on the request
(petition).
So you PERSIST and keep PERSISTING
God is a generous and a wonderful provider. Never ever wanting
to let you down or let you go hurt, He gives you the desire of your heart.
Thing about this is what you want is not necessarily the best
thing that could happen to you or for you. And God is a soft hearted and
compassionate Creator. Having collected all your tears, He can’t just let them
accumulate any more, so letting His heart break is what HE does most
generously.
Love, you haven’t felt a whiff of what love really is. That is
God.
If you knew what the future held for you, wouldn’t you want all
that God wants for you? You are happy for some time, but then what? Five years
down the line, you realize, maybe this whole thing was an error. You have
become miserable. Do you see and understand?
CHOOSE His WILL
God knows what is best for you and me. So it takes time. Isn’t
it worth waiting for?
100 out of 100 times, God’s answer to you is a YES. The only
time God will not give you something is when it could harm you. When you insist
on having it your way, God will give it you.
If God keeps something away from you, is because HE wants you to
learn to be in total Obedience, total surrender and doing His will.
God is faithful and expects nothing less of us.
I was asked by the Holy Spirit to speak with Fr. Erasto on
the 20th, but Fr. moved away too quickly.
21st March, 2014-Loved listening to the talk on the mission.
This is what happened I spoke with Fr. and then all of a sudden I actually
caught his hands.
22nd March, 2014-I asked Fr. Erasto to remember me. I loved
his humility and I told him that it impacted me. He asked me in what way? I
stated the way you are.
Half way across the compound of the Church, the ‘Holy Spirit’
reminded me of what I felt after speaking to Father on the 21st of March, 2014.
I did my turnabout.
The 22nd was a day, when most things were not going my way. I
felt too good to be troubled by anything in the world.
As I was about to enter the Church, I wondered if Fr. would be
there. With the‘Holy Spirit’ you learn that when you are told to do something,
you always do. No doubts.
I looked at Fr. and said ‘Fr. you asked me what it is? He said
yes, I told him, that when I stand before you I feel that I am standing before
the Blessed Eucharist. I feel I am in the presence of Jesus.
With the Holy Spirit there is a 100 percent result, leaving no
chance for error. IT never ever will be. That’s the power of the Holy Spirit. I
know. I write. My testimony to every thing I have written and witnessed.
To the power of the ‘Holy Trinity’, All Glory be!
On the 23rd of March, 2014, after the 6.00 p.m. mass I met
Phoebe. She told me she had spoken with a convert whose name was Purnima. What
she wanted to let me know is that both their names meant the full moon. I told
her I love the Moon. As I was walking I saw this number 5511 and it reminded me
of Isaiah 55:11 which states - so shall my word be that goes forth from my
mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I
purpose, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
A very long time back, I was told to study the Bible, and I used
to wonder and keep asking God, how do I go about it? Never knew how, until some
months back when I started attending the Bible study classes.
I attend the Bible study sessions, in order to understand. But I
see that people are in too much off a hurry to finish with the passages in the
Bible than want to understand each and every word. I do not understand the
logic, of haste in going through the chapters. People love to rush with things.
You cannot rush with the Bible – You cannot rush with God, because it simply
and in all simplicity is the WORD OF GOD.
Think about it, would any one of us be able to explain
everything in the Bible without the help of notes. And yet that is the basic
foundation that needs to be rooted into our main drive our souls. When we
understand, we know how to converse with God, when we converse with Him we get
into a relationship with God-and when we do, nothing on earth can keep us apart.
I know with a certainty that God will move the whole universe to
get to you. There’s absolutely nothing that He won’t do.
Do you feel that? I do. Abba, Father, I love you so very much.
Here I am! I trust You with my life.
The word of God must be read with all reverence due to God. When
you insist on making haste, you simply are lying to yourself and others that
you are there for understanding God. A lie does not become the truth. PERIOD!
On the 24th of March, a lady came and put her arm around my
neck. After mass, I was in prayer, was quiet surprised. And then she asked me
you will be coming tomorrow? Instinctively I answered yes, after a few seconds
I realized that what she was asking me was with reference to the Charismatic
prayer group? Though I thought I would go just because I gave my word, I
couldn’t, I fell sick and when I woke up it was 7:30 p.m.
Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan
“This is My son, the Beloved.” For example, take the Song of
Solomon. On one level the Song of Solomon is about the love between a man and a
woman. Yet, on another level the book is about God and his relationship to his
chosen people. So, if the book is about two lovers then we can conclude that
“beloved” is a term used between two persons who are deeply in love. However,
if the book is also about God’s relationship with believers, then we can
conclude that “beloved” is a term of endearment used by God to describe his
people.
In School, our French teacher would always begin the class with
the sign of the CROSS. I know it is imperative to begin the day with PRAYERS.
This is a wonderful prayer, it is called Anima Christi, translated it means,‘The Soul of Christ’. It is one of my favourite childhood prayers. IT stirs my soul completely.

Soul of
Christ, sanctify me
Body of
Christ, save me
Blood of
Christ, inebriate me
Water from
the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of
Christ, strengthen me
O good
Jesus, hear me
Within Thy
wounds hide me
Separated
from Thee let me never be
From the
malicious enemy defend me
In the hour
of my death call me
And bid me
come unto Thee
That I may
praise Thee with Thy saints
Forever and
ever.
Amen.
Day 28 of March, 2014 – my cousin, gives me his laptop and opens
a movie folder. I have watched ‘Serendipity’, about 6-7 times. It is one of my
favourite movies. I always wanted a copy of it. And this is the day for the
first time I got to see the movie from the beginning. I watched half an hour of the movie
and I was extremely contented. Some of my favourite quotes in the movie are:
- Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager (the actor) clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, it’s a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.
- If we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny.
- You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?"
With all my
Love,
For Love
Prevails!
AnitA.
AnitA.
When I say,
I DO!
When I say,
I do
All I am saying is I am here for you.
When I say my love is true,
All I am saying is I am here for you.
When I say my love is true,
Words would never be enough to express the way I feel about you.
I am ready for whatever the future may bring
Hand in hand together we are in everything.
I am ready for whatever the future may bring
Hand in hand together we are in everything.
You are my world.
You are my
everything,
You are my sun in the sky,
You are my moonlight at night,
You are my sun in the sky,
You are my moonlight at night,
You are my
dream come true.
Tonight, I say, I love you!
Tonight, I say, I love you!
PRAYER:
Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember,
this your servant.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.
Mama Mary keep me humble, I pray. Amen.
26th March 2014-Thank You, Abba Father. 1313-Bold as a lion.
