My People,
Hello! I love to begin this letter with what I most believe in, “Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with God!”
God accomplishes what is humanly impossible. We only need FAITH the size of a mustard seed. It is our God-Who performs Mighty Deeds.
Whoever comes to God must come in Faith.
Faith comes from trusting in God and His Will.
Faith can move mountains. God is bigger than any mountain or mountains.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
I have been blessed to have my Birthday 11:1 that coincides with Hebrews 11:1
I'm Alive is one of my favourite songs, it is by Celine Dion.
I get wings to fly.
Oh, oh, I'm alive.
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly.
I feel that I'm alive.
When you look at me
I can touch the sky.
I know that I'm alive.
When you bless the day
I just drift away.
All my worries die.
I'm glad that I'm alive.
You've set my heart on fire.
Filled me with love.
Made me a woman on clouds above.
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight.
'Cause I am alive.
When you call on me
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly.
I feel that I'm alive.
I am alive.
When you reach for me
When you reach for me
Raising spirits high
God knows that.
That I'll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times
And it's only begun.
I can't wait for the rest of my life.
When you call on me
When you call on me
When you reach for me
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly.
I feel that I'm alive.
When you bless the day
When you bless, you bless the day.
I just drift away.
I just drift away.
All my worries die.
I know that I'm alive.
I get wings to fly.
God knows that I'm alive.
Oh God!
All Creation speaks of Your Goodness.
As we watch the sunrise, a new HOPE begins. The Hope that we always have You with us in this journey of Life.
When the sun sets through the brilliant colours of the clouds You have formed, it is but a reminder to all of us that no matter how the day may have treated us, there is beauty in everything, if we only believe. In Your time everything is revealed, if we only learn to wait on You. The Clouds, they move swiftly.
And time waits for no man. To experience something, means also to learn with a grateful heart. The heart always remembers the very many mighty ways of God and His deliverance.
The twinkling Stars at night, it creates a stir within the heart.
The Moon at times brings out the dreamer in all of us. Both the Stars and the Moon, in the billions of years, they have stood, they remind us that You oh Lord, have a count of all of them. And I know oh Lord, to You each one is called by a name. For all creation, You are our Creator and You have us all in Your care.
Through the Stars-to the Constellations, through the galaxy and to the entire Universe—how expansive Your reach!
You command the Sun, the Moon and the Stars and everything in all Creation OBEYS You for You are our CREATOR and in all Your Awesomeness You have given man a free will, thus the choice to choose.
Fill me with and in Your Grace to be everything that You will me to be in the way I think, I speak, and I live with everyone around me. Let my life be a song of Glory and Praise to You Forevermore.
Sometimes, dreams are easy to achieve and sometimes it takes a whole lifetime.
I have learnt that when you need something the most, you got to believe. And everything that I write here is what I believe. I wish and pray for everyone to achieve their hearts desire. And it is, only place your trust in God!
Jeremiah 10:12-13 says, “But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.”
The Lord has the power to move mountains. Our faith is in Him to do so.
Matthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”
Nothing will be impossible for us because (Luke 1:37 - For with God nothing will be impossible.”)
We only need faith the size of a mustard seed. It is our God-Who performs mighty deeds.
When we pray in accordance with God’s will, no matter the odds, the will of God will be accomplished.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:38-39
Faith can move mountains.
Yes, it can!
It should be our desire to draw ever closer to God, to grow deeper in a relationship with HIM.
God’s delight is to move the mountains that rise up against us.
Our Lord makes a way where there seems to be no way.
And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, “See that no one knows it.” But they went away and spread his fame through all that district. Matthew 9:29
1 Peter 3:15 but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence;
We need to pray for God’s grace and courage to speak boldly and yet in love, so that all people will know that Jesus (The Son of God), is waiting to be invited and to heal.
The celebration of the mass - is the sacrifice of Jesus.
Grace Abounds-is grace in overflow and abundance. It is God's love and provision beyond our daily needs. Come and participate in this sacrifice of Jesus for you and me.
St. Veronica - wiped the face of Jesus and the image of Jesus's face was miraculously captured onto the veil of Veronica. St. Simon of Cyrene who was compelled to carry the Cross of Jesus-at the time, he did not know what grace he was given. Both St. Veronica and St. Simon of Cyrene were in the suffering of Christ (which we now know as the celebration of the mass). Grace Abounds!
At the Crucifixion, The good thief, who was on the right side of Jesus, asked Jesus to remember him when Jesus comes to His kingdom. He was also in the suffering of Christ, (the Holy Mass). Graces truly, Abound!
The Good Thief: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus: “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
The celebration of the mass - The sacrifice of Jesus, has graces beyond our knowing. Come Jesus waits!
The Eucharistic Adoration: It is here after the celebration of the mass; this is where Jesus waits for us too. He waits for us to ask Him to help us and to heal us.
Whatever grief, whatever the heartache, however impossible your situation may be, come in faith to Jesus and ask.
2000 years back - Jesus was on a mission to love and to heal.
2000 years later - Jesus still waits.
He waits for you and me at the celebration of the mass.
He waits for us to visit Him in Eucharistic Adoration!
This is the place of the miracles.
A place where your heart wants to be like His.
Jesus meek and humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine!

Everything is a MIRACLE! Part 2
The great wonders of the world may have taken time, nothing happened instantly.
In Faith - we have to know and believe that God has all the answers, and we need to seek Him with all our heart.
It is Hope - when you hear the birds chirp, it is their little song they sing. We don't know the words. But Hope feels a lot like that. It is the Music, where everything in the Universe reaches out to you and fills you with no words spoken. If you listen, you will know and understand.
In Love - To love God with all my heart and to love everybody the way God expects me to.
This is one of my favourite poems. “Hope” By Emily Dickinson.
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
Psalm 42:1-2, 11
As a hart longs
for flowing streams,
so longs my soul
for thee, O God.
My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
REMEMBER: HOPE IN GOD!
Hope is an expectation in God, of great things to come.
Hope is Faith in the future tense.
We are not merely saved by grace through faith.
We are saved by grace through hope.
Abraham was fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised. Abraham had the full assurance of hope. In hope Abraham believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations. Romans 4:18-22
Faith is the full assurance of hope.
Against hope means that from the human point of thinking there was no hope: Abraham was too old to have a child, and his wife was barren.
What is impossible to man is POSSIBLE with God. For it is the Promise of God.
Abraham’s faith was his reliability of God’s word, and his hope was his strong confidence in the fulfillment of God’s promise.
What is LOVE?
I am certain there could be a million statements answering just this question that we seem to ask through our whole life?
We go through all the ups and downs and we most often end up hurting ourselves or others. In all this we understand love just the way we want to. And then there are times, being broken we take in the advice of people who are-our mirror images. That is people who have made the same mistakes and who are way bitter than us. We take in their advice and given time we become the mirrors to each other.
So, who am I talking about? Everybody in general, whatever their status quo.
We all look for love. It is the hearts yearning. Trouble is we don’t know what true love looks like. We watch movies, we take examples from it and what it looks like, and we think we know what love is.
When a husband and wife love each other, then their children will look no further. They will be brought up with the whole understanding of the love of God and what love is. And they will take that love into the world.
Isn’t that what Jesus does? HE came into the world as one of us bringing the Fathers Love with Him? Did we recognize Him? Did we understand what love is?
NO!
We crucified Him and are we better today than 2000 years back. I don’t think so.
God is absolutely, Wonderful! To be in love with God, is like nothing else in the world. The feeling is awesome. To love God simply means you love everybody.
God says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are made in His likeness and image. We are His representatives here on earth and if we look at it from this point of view, THEN -
Everything is a Miracle!
And we are God's Miracles.
And MIRACLES are everywhere!
When we call ourselves CHRISTIANS - then it is understood that we have To follow - To live our lives, based on the words and the life of Jesus:
- Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
- John 14:6 I am the way, and the truth, and the life;
- John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
- Luke 10:27 “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.”
Mark 9:7 “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”
(Abba Father directing us to listen to Jesus.)
John 2:5 “Do whatever he tells you.”
(The Wedding at Cana-Mary directs the servants to do what Jesus asks of them.)
Abba Father: Listen to Him. (Listen to Jesus)
Mama Mary : Do whatever He tells you. (Do what Jesus tells)
In the Above Words, we have to OBEY Jesus completely!
JESUS Directs: - To follow Jesus, in His BEATTITUDES!
- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
- Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
- Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
- Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven.
Love is Obedience.
Obedience to God!
Obedience to God's Priests.
Obedience from wife to husband.
Obedience to Parents.
Obedience to all elders.
Obedience to the boss.
Obedience to the Law.
Remember: Jesus was obedient, it was His love for His Father, that He accepted willingly a death on the Cross.
In His love for us-is a complete surrender. He made Himself a sacrifice pleasing to God!
A miracle is an act of God doing something awesome in order to reveal Himself to mankind.
- The Son of God became Flesh.
- He lived as one of us.
- Jesus was killed on the Cross. Christ died for us because God loves us.
God loves us and sent His Son to be a sacrifice that appeases HIS just judgment and righteous anger against us and for our sins. Jesus is what satisfies the justice of God.
- Jesus died and was buried.
- Jesus rose from the dead.

Everything is a MIRACLE! Part 3
God is Loving!
God willingly sacrificed His only Son to a death on the Cross to free us from eternal damnation.
God is JUST!
JESUS chose to do His Father's Will. He willingly suffered and died for our sins.
God is both JUST and Loving.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might” Deuteronomy 6:5.
We have all loved other things more than we ever could love God.
The Creator of the Universe is infinitely worthy of our reverence, worthy of our love and worthy of our loyalty. And we have failed HIM miserably. Therefore, failure to love Him is not a small matter.
We have not given the place to God that is rightly His in our lives.
KEEP GOD FIRST PLACE!
When there is a lack of reverence to God, and we don't feel anything about it, then definitely there is a problem.
At the celebration of the mass: this is important.
- Once the Church bell is rung-we are meant to stand in waiting for the Priest to enter for the celebration of the mass. Irrespective of what the practise is, one must stand while the Priest has entered. We need to stand and greet the Priest, Jesus. And it is only right – to sit after the Priest does, for e.g. before the 1st reading. I am in the learning process too. (There are many things i still have to learn but as i do, i will write.)
And there is one thing i would like to add here, we pray the Eternal Rest just before the end of the mass - it would be polite and respectful to the soul/souls to stand and pray rather than sit. Just a thought!
The Feast of Christ The King – The cantors 4-5 of them, walk on to the Sanctuary and to the Sacristy.
Like every other Sunday, they take a bow and proceed. It is not completely right, on a Sunday/Sundays but it is a procedure they follow.
But today, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed, and they walked right past Jesus with a bow. And not only them, but there were also few other people who did the same.
There was talking and there was walking to and from the Sanctuary.
There was a lack of reverence to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
As a child, i learnt, one must never walk past Jesus. When leaving on a day like this, you leave quietly with the utmost reverence in your heart. Something i did not get to see and i missed it a lot.
I learnt reverence watching Fr. Joe Pereira.
Remember-REMEMBER: Lack of reverence is also the lack of knowing that God is All powerful. Failure to realize that - is failure to know that God can do the IMPOSSIBLE!
I desire for you God's best, and that will only come when you realize who you are in God!
I will remind you and me, what we already know, but it is good to remember together, God sacrificed His only Son for us. And Jesus willingly gave His life for us. Would God then withhold anything from us?
Jesus waits for us in the celebration of the mass.
Jesus waits for us in the Blessed Eucharist (Eucharistic Adoration).
COME!
Jesus went about healing 2000 years back!
Now, Jesus waits for us to come to Him! He has made Himself available to us, waiting in as a HOST (The Body of Christ-The Blessed Eucharist).
He waits for us as a Host, not holding to His form of God-The Kingship, but rather taking on simplicity, humility-meekness, so that our wounded broken hearts would find rest in Him!
If today, you start with a five minute, and you feel it is too much for you, leave it to Jesus, but practise coming often. Come, for it benefits your entire self. I would not write otherwise.
Whatever your prayer, whatever your sickness or someone you know, come and sit with Jesus! Trust Jesus. Come!
Many people were brought to Jesus for healing and there were times when Jesus went in search for those who needed healing.
Often, when we need healing really bad, we wish we were in the time, so Jesus could heal us. And we miss the whole point.
- The White Host - is Jesus - the Body and Blood of Christ. We need to go to Him like the Centurion, who had the reverence and faith towards Jesus.
- We have to be persistent and daring like the woman who suffered bleeding for 12 long years.
- We have to have that never quit attitude like the man who seemed to turn up even especially on the 38th year, in spite of never reaching the pool.
- We have to be like those 4 friends who lowered their friend down the roof so he would get the healing.
And in all these cases they were all healed.
When you come and sit before the Blessed Sacrament, you sit before Jesus-before God Himself. How can you not be healed?
This is my QUESTION to you.
You got to drill this in your deepest part of the brain, I am in the presence of God, I am healed, I am strong, I am healthy. And you are what you speak. Have no room for doubts. Just Believe!
Repeat it to yourself all through the day, I am in the presence of God.
Know this: Anyone who comes to God, never leaves empty.
I desire God's best for you always. It is my every prayer i pray. Your miracle to life is choosing to be with Jesus in The MASS and The Blessed Sacrament.
And when it is our time - and in death - we have to have that faith like the Good Thief, where he acknowledges his wrongdoing - he believes, he would be forgiven and that there is life.
The Good Thief: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus: “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke23:42-43
The Celebration of The Mass: The sacrifice of Jesus, has graces beyond our knowing. Come Jesus waits!
The Eucharistic Adoration: It is here after the celebration of the mass; this is where Jesus waits for us too. He waits for us to ask Him to help us and to heal us.
There could be situations that present themselves, overtime. Don't let it affect you. Just let it go.
I was in the prayer when this lady that I know stops and says hi, then as usual she asks me why I am still wearing a mask. Like the other 2 times that she asked me, my reply is the same, ‘I have an asthma condition’.
She states, you are glorifying your condition. I say I am not but I have to wear the mask. She says, remove your mask, trust in God.
I reply with a ‘Thank you.’
- I trust God with my life.
- Following Jesus is not easy. Often, I look and feel like a fool, but that is okay, Jesus never leaves my side.
- I glorify God in all the phases of my life. I don’t believe in speaking of my problems. I will speak of my God and how Powerful He is. God is my PowerHouse!
With an asthma condition that I have, it becomes unbearably difficult to walk any distance at a given time. To go to Mt. Carmel’s Church is a roughly 12 minutes’ walk I think. But the 12 minutes for me is difficult. So each day, I wake up, I wake up with a hope that I can walk to the Church. And I don’t do this on my own. I tell Jesus I will keep my alarm to wake up, then it is You who will carry me to the Church and carry me home.
When I tell this to my cousin, he says, you are testing God, I say, no, Jesus wants me to come to Church every day and in my health condition it is impossible to think of walking that much and so I ask Jesus to carry me through.
These 2 days the 27th and the 28th November 2023, it is not the energy that failed me. It is Jesus, Who has asked me to rest. Because my mind needed it. Jesus Knows!
After my time with Jesus, on one of the days, as I was heading home, this man comes from behind calling out my name. Surprised I look back and I see a familiar face. And the first thing he says is, ‘Your hair is all wet, I reply with no it is not. He says yes, it is. I think maybe it is the oil effect and I say it could be the oil. He stubbornly walks away saying no it is wet.
- He said something that in reality must offend me. But I am not offended.
- And yet I just tried explaining myself and he got offended.
- He must have seen me praying and thought that it was too hot and whatever his thoughts. What a strange way of thinking and what a strange thing to say to someone you hardly speak with.
- Truthfully, I find this kind of behaviour so weird. No reason to argue, no reason to be stubborn.
Always, in everything God takes care of me.
There are moments that I do feel extreme heat and Jesus will tell me, it will be two minutes now or one minute now and everything will be okay. And it always is.
Just on the 23rd of November, this lady comes to the prayer room-where I sit.
First she asks me to come for the meeting that is in the evening. I politely answer her, saying it is not possible.
Then she insists that I must come. She says, if you can come now and sit here, you can come in the evening too. Then I tell her, I have an asthma condition and it is difficult for me.
She retorts back in anger, stop pretending and lying. I am hurt not with her words, but the way she said it. She was nasty. In all honesty, I say, I can’t breathe. Then in pretense, she places her rosary on my shoulder. I did not say anything.
She was not at Peace, because she was waiting for someone, and that person did not turn up. Being troubled she wanted to provoke me to say something nasty.
Not a good thing to do at any time and especially when we are right in front of Jesus.
There is a restlessness. The reasons people, speak in such a manner is because there is a turmoil in them. There is a restlessness because they have not let Jesus completely in. For where Jesus is, PEACE is! It cannot be otherwise.
Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine!
Our God is Faithful!
His Word is True.
His Truth endures Eternally!
His Grace - Infinite!
His Love and Mercy - Everlasting!

The soul that seeks the Lord is precious in His sight.
GOD may try the soul by delays, as He did with Abraham;
Abraham was 75 years old when God first made the promise that he would be made into a great nation. Abraham was 100 years old when Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Abraham had to wait 25 years!
God tried Joseph, and tried him long, but even in prison it is said, The Lord was with Joseph.
It took Joseph, years to see God’s purposes working out in his life.
And when he did, Joseph saw the hand of God in everything that had happened to him. Think about it! At the given time-right Moment.
At the given time his brothers threw him into the pit.
At the right moment the Midianites came along.
At the given time he was sold to Potiphar.
At the given time Potiphar’s wife falsely accused him.
At the right moment he met the butler and baker.
At the right moment the butler remembered Joseph.
At the right moment Pharaoh called for him.
At the right moment he was promoted to the second most powerful person in all of Egypt.
At the given time Jacob sent his sons to Egypt.
At the right moment the brothers met Joseph.
At the right moment Jacob’s family moved to Egypt.
Joseph recognized that God had used his life in ways that would be difficult for anyone else to understand.
Joseph was sold into slavery when he was about seventeen. He was 30 years of age when he became second in position to the Pharaoh.
Joseph waited on God for 13 years before he saw the manifestation of his dreams. Joseph trusted his dreams. Through it all, there was a continuous surge of faith coming through.
He was sold into slavery by his envious brothers. It is never easy-it is a deception. At another time, he was accused of indecent behaviour by Potiphar's wife and he was sent to prison. Joseph had a difficult time. And he could have got bitter, mean, resentful. But that did not happen with Joseph!
When situations continually turn the other way - when things don't work for you, where do you go.
God worked powerfully through Joseph, because Joseph did not let the situations in his life dictate to him. He did not let the troubles rule him. He believed that God would come to his rescue. And God came through splendidly!
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek after Him and seek His Will.
Each day when you wake up, wake-up with an expectancy that God's goodness and favour is going to chase you down! We may not see it in the day or the days to come, but Trust HIM always!
Always and in everything Thank God. God loves when we sing to Him a song of praise. It is easy to sing when everything works for you. But how lovely it is, when you have things not going your way, and you sing to Him that song of praise.
Isn't it love that makes you joyful? Would you imagine the JOY in God's Heart!
When you honour God, He’ll lead you and direct your steps, to be at the right place at the right time.
Our expectation in Him, is what allows God to do great things in our lives.
Get READY! You’re on your way to fulfill your God-given destiny!
When the twelve spies were sent to search out the land of Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb came back confident that the land could be taken with God leading the way.
The rest brought a bad report of giants, and the view that overcoming the land was impossible. Their view infected the whole camp like a disease.
We need to be like Joshua and Caleb, men of faith in God. If God says the land can be taken, it can.
God will guide and lead the way. Live by faith in His words.
When we do things God’s way, when we follow His Word, He promises to bless us with life, health, peace and joy. He promises to do what has never been done before!
Joseph and Mary were in search of Jesus (the age of twelve), and they found Him 3 days later in the temple. Then 18 years later, at the age of 30 Jesus begins His ministry in Galilee.
Abraham's waiting or Joseph's waiting, it was different from the waiting of Jesus. Because with each passing year, Jesus was heading towards a gruesome death on the Cross. Jesus knew, He had the three years of mission work, and He did it to the glory of God, The Father. He died (Jesus sacrificed Himself for us) with the victory song, "It is finished" John 19:30
What is your victory song?
Do we do everything that is in the Will of God for us? Do we go about it with the Passion of Jesus Christ?
Prayer
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8
Notice, the verse says, ‘Ask and you will receive’. Believe! Let’s ask God for what we do need.
And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
Prayer is the way; we communicate with God. We are asking God for something and acknowledging our inability to get it for ourselves.
"Whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists" Hebrews 11:6
Prayer requires faith. We must trust that God is and can hear us.
"Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help?" Luke 18:7
Jesus taught through parables that persistence is important when praying. In the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, the widow kept on demanding her rights until the judge got tired of all the trouble and granted her request.
Read to yourself out loud. And pay attention to what you read!
- Ask and you will receive.
- Be Persistent.
- Prayer requires an attitude of humility and repentance.
Don’t write yourself off because God never does, He knows your full potential. When God places you in a circumstance, face the trial trusting in Him. God knows our strength and He will not permit, anything that we can't handle.
Trust God in all your trials, and you will come out 10 times stronger than when you went in. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (they refused to bow to other gods-for which they were held in contempt and punished, they were ready to die than bow). They were put into a fiery furnace, the heat raised to 10 times its level. Being thrown in, the fires did not get to them. Simply put, their clothes were intact and there was no smell of fumes on them. Trust in God!
Gold is purified in the scorching heat of the fire.
God will never abandon us. It’s not in His nature.
Every trial that I have been in, I have seen the Magnificence of God.
Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine!
We need to walk in Gods ways because all God will do in our lives is based on our obedience to His words.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life!
We Pray and Believe. But some prayers take time to be answered. Often, we give up when we are the closest to achieving our dreams.
Don’t let go!
Be encouraged!
Remember: When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Remember-Remember: We serve A Faithful God!
Remember Whose you are.
CONCLUSION:
Remember God's Faithfulness - God, The Father - provided His only Son as our Sacrifice for all times – as redemption for us all!
The greatest of miracles await us in THE -
The Celebration of The Mass: The sacrifice of Jesus, has graces beyond our knowing. Come Jesus waits!
The Eucharistic Adoration: It is here after the celebration of the mass; this is where Jesus waits for us too. He waits for us to ask Him to help us and to heal us.
This is The PLACE (The celebration of the Mass & The Eucharistic Adoration - where everything when in contact with God becomes a MIRACLE! (No matter what your trial or suffering is-Jesus Heals-BELIEVE!)
No matter what your situation is or looks like, there is always a different way to look at life from. And where,
Everything is a MIRACLE!
Whatever your prayer, I Hope, I Pray and I KNOW, you will find what you are looking for-I also pray for you JOY & Love!
God allows us to experience severe challenges to strengthen our faith and deepen our trust in Him.
Love is GOD! In the end, Love always wins.
PRAYER: Abba Father, You promised Joshua, victory over their enemies, Joshua, dared to stand in Your presence and at his command the sun and moon stood still for the whole day. There has never been a day like it ever. That is the day when You listened to a human being (a warrior).
I love You, Abba Father! I stand before Your Mighty Presence asking for what You have solemnly Promised me. Date 19 September 2020 (Mass Time: 14th minute and 14th second. Amen.

Prayer for the souls in PURGATORY: Our Lord dictated this prayer to St. Gertrude the Great to release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory each time it is said.

And in the very next instant: i see 5597 & 5597
(I thought i was dreaming, two same numbers, of course coming near i saw there was different registration numbers to the numbers. To me this was something so rare and a beautiful moment.
55 & 55 was a double confirmation from the Holy Spirit.

((And Today is 12December i.e. 1212))
Thought: After God, love the people in your life. That is what matters the most. Our story is not the merits-the certificates or the medals or accolades we receive, but rather what we leave in the hearts we leave behind.
No matter how bad you are treated, reciprocate with love, like that is the only response you know, and truthfully, that should be the only response we ever know.
Did we love?
Did we spend our lives praying for the ones we love-Did we count everyone in?
Did we pray for their safety and their wellbeing so that when we are gone, God remembers our prayers for them-our prayer still stands before the Almighty God.
Did I love with all of my heart, is there an ache i feel?
I know, I trust in God.
Come Jesus come!

My Confession - Fr. Christopher
Jesus asks me to make my confession with Fr. Christopher. I agree with Jesus and i ask Jesus what if there are other Priests. But I know it is Fr. Christopher-(37=10). No doubt in my head about it.
St. Christopher carried Baby Jesus-i have always had and still carry with me a St. Christopher Key Bunch.
Jesus is truly amazing and so deeply loving. When i entered the Church, there was only Fr. Christopher. I know what Jesus did, Jesus answered me by keeping only Fr. Christopher there.

Thought: It is restful with Mama Mary (OLMC). I have more than often noticed when i stand near Mama Mary my mind clears off completely. There are times, I know-i feel that loving gaze and it is so beautiful, i know i am loved by my Mama. And that is a whole world of love. Standing there near Mama is a wonderful - wonderful place to be in. I love you Mama, please never let go.
Come Jesus come!

30th December 2023.
Other Priest Online mass.
First Reading – 1 John 2.12-17
Gospel - Luke 2:36-40 (36+40=76)
Thought: People often think that the last day to Christmas is Epiphany-The Visit of the Wise Men. But that is not true. That last day to the Christmas Season is The Baptism of Our Lord. I don't have a calendar that tells me precisely when it falls in 2024.
This is so funny. People wait for Christmas with all their heart and then on the 26th onwards, they stop wishing Merry Christmas and start wishing 'Compliments of the Season'. I don't follow that pattern. I wish everyone till the 28th a Merry Christmas and then the 29th onwards it becomes Compliments of the Season. But in truth, I would like to wish a Merry Christmas till the last day to the Christmas Season. Because I am in no hurry to get over with the Season.
I Love and enjoy the Christmas Season. There is so much HOPE and LOVE that cannot be missed.
Come Jesus come!
