A Big Hearty Greeting
Jan 22, 2008
Peace and All Good!
"Guests are to be met with all the courtesy of LOVE. All who present themselves are to be welcomed as CHRIST."~Rule of St. Benedict.
"All SPIRITUAL GROWTH comes from reading and reflection. By READING we learn what we did not know, by REFLECTION we retain what we have learn. Reading the HOLY SCRIPTURES confers two benefits. It trains the mind to understand them; it turns our attention from the follies of the world and leads us to the LOVEof God." ~St. Isidore, SAINT of computer users and the internet.
PRAYER: St. Isidore, inspire all who use the internet to glorify God, and build up rather than destroy peoples' minds, hearts and souls. Help the Church realize its potential for evangelization in using this. St. Isidore, pray for us. Amen.
"We need to enter into this modern and increasingly active network of information with realism and trust, know that if it is used with competence and attentive responsibility, it can offer valid opportunities for the Gospel Message." ~Pope John Paul II, May 21, 2002.
"The Word of God transcends time; human opinions come and go, the Word of God is the Word of Eternal Life. It carries eternity within and is valid forever." ~Pope Benedict XIV.
"The Spiritual Journey is a gradual process of enlarging our emotional, mental and physical relationship with the Divine Reality that is present in us, but one not ordinarily accessible to our emotions or concepts. The Spiritual Journey teaches us: First, to believe in the Divine Indwelling within us fully present and energizing every level of our being. Secondly, to recognize that this energy is benign, healing and transforming, and Thirdly, to enjoy its gradual unfolding step-by-step both in prayer and action."~Fr. Thomas Keating, OCSO.
"PRAYER is not an "extra" in life, but rather necessary food for the soul."~Pope Benedict XVI.
“In the morning when I wake up, I practice Centering Prayer. I'm allowing myself to be immersed in the presence of God and in the present moment. I sit in the stillness for 20 minutes, and that is where God is. Silence is a natural way to communicate with God.
When I become aware of distractions, I return ever so gently to the “sacred word.” For me that word is actually two little words: "Let go."
The deep communication that I am experiencing extends into every relationship that I have. God is within us, and every time, basically, that I am communicating, I am communicating with the divine indwelling in another being, as well. ...
I'm just living in this moment — and anything is possible in this moment.” ~Sandra Mackey, New Morning Treasury.
"MUSIC gives wings to the mind, a soul to the universe, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, a life to everything." ~Plato.
"It is in the SECRET sanctuary of the heart that we encounter GOD. He is always there, ready to keep an appointment with us, but we are always busy, we hardly have time for Him. Still He waits. All the faithful of Christ of whatever rank or status, are called to the FULLNESS of the Christian Life and to the perfection of charity. By this HOLINESS as such, a more human manner of living is promoted in this earthly society."~Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, a.40.
The SPIRITUAL LIFE, however, is not limited solely to participation in the Liturgy. The Christian is indeed called to pray with his brethren, but HE MUST ALSO ENTER INTO HIS CHAMBER TO PRAY to the Father in secret; yet more, according to the teaching of the apostle, HE SHOULD PRAY WITHOUT CEASING."~Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, a.12
"Bruises, wounds, scabs, scars of the thorns of life
The better part of me,
To be cleared out in the journey.
Each incident is like a new dreadful task,
Finding and looking for help from within
Brought purpose step by step.
Where I was born,
Where and how I lived unimportant
What I have done and where I have been should be of claim!
Mastery completed,
By knowing inadequacy is certain
Shaded my existence.
I looked back, I never painted dreams
I am pleased with it
My thorns are the better part of me!"~Angie M., 11/16/02
"Let them prefer nothing whatever to Christ. And may He bring us all together to everlasting life." ~Rule of St. Benedict.
