So, this is something I really wanted to do, but couldn’t because people around me never seemed interested or listening.

So I experienced something like a slow deepening in my faith. This happened like two years or so in the past. Before I wasn’t a good Catholic. Not that I am holier today or so, but my faith is stronger.

When I deepened my faith it was first through books with visions of Maria von Agreda. I gained new love to the mother Mary and Jesus. I also gained more scruples, maybe because I tried to take Mary’s advises to Maria von Agreda really serious, in an too strong eagerness.
Well… the Good side was: as I read about my faith -and I didn’t only read Maria von Agreda- I wanted to talk about it, and praise God and so.

I wanted to talk about God, but yes… none of the most Catholic people around me seemed to have interest.

But so I want to make up for that -maybe I’ll seem like an charismatic, but it’s okay- and start this thread so everyone could give one or more praises to God.

I mean, just scribble down your praises and thanks and… (I hope it doesn’t come too eager) talk about Gods Glory.

This really can help someone with trials or fears, as they get new fresh love to God. We just need to hold on to that love, even if the tears and hardships may come.

And I don’t know if it is, but yesterday and today -and I think the day before yesterday- I really got stronger spiritually, or I was better defended from evil. I am not sure. But I think the prayers of all the people who prayed for me have helped me. I just hope this strength continues without interruption. This may be a topic for another thread.

But thank you all who prayed for me, and if you can please continue! 😆 ❤️ 🌱

So, I just wanted to talk about Gods Glory.
:pray:t2: 💛

So feel free to praise, talk, or just tell events that helped you! You never know, maybe someone gets hope from the praises and so 🙂

Thank you, Lord! For the wonderful gift of life for each one of us! 😊
I hope that I’ll have many friends that will praise You like Jellyfish. I’m praying that, please help us. Corona Virus is really tiring, ever since we can’t go outside, no communion, no bonding with friends, families, and friends. May Your Holy Name be praised and glorified, for the wonderful gift of everything around us, anything that we have and we can do. May Your Name be praised, for the blessed day that we partake today as we battle with COVID 19. It’s Your Will, not ours but please help us now! 😷 Lord, I pray that You’ll lead us to Your Love and Heart, without selfishness and with pure kindness. We love You very much and always keep us safe! 😍 😍 😍
 
I love Mary very much and I want to love God more! Please Mary pray for us that we may have a bigger love of Jesus.
Let us turn back to the lord Jesus and have our sins forgiven so that we may come to a great friendship with God!
Thank You very much ❤️
And I recommend Hosea 6, the first few verses. Because that gave me courage and hope.
🌱 😆
 
Thank you. I read Maria Agredas visions about mass and the Angel’s. It is such a lovely and uplifting read.
Things like this add richness to our faith. Thank you for the reminder.
I will also put you in my prayer journal.

Right? It gave me more love to God and Mary it was a help for me.
The way she talks about them all is very beautiful and respectful.
❤️

Edit: I wanted to make clear that when reading a private… how you say it? Message? Okay when reading about private appearances we have to be careful, of course. But I didn’t read any bad thing (maybe because I was still learning).

My stance it that there may be some or multiple true statements in her books, and maybe some errors. So in looking back, I would be careful and ask a theological person or so when reading passages we don’t understand.

I think her books can be helpful and give some light and love about God.

I will be focusing on her writings tonight at bedtime. So beautiful! I may read her writings again as a refresher too.
Yours in Christ

Dear God,
I really have fallen allot through my sins. But I really bitterly repent and they really ashamed me. Please forgive me new and new so that I can go up again. Please, my dear God, please forgive me. I want to stay loyal and come to you Jesus.
 
I want to share some of my spiritual life.
But can I say that I never thought I even had a spiritual life?

So, I want to begin new. I am really hopeless and darkness covered me. But for some reason, I got new hope. I recommend inviting Jesus into your hearts over and over again. Because that’s what I did. And it really helped me a lot.

You see… my trials began some years before this and in the first time I feel really honest hope and am certain that God forgives me my sins. I want to get up every time and turn back to Jesus-

But please pray for me.
Thank you!
 
Okay… so I think we need another new thread on this topic. I’ve gone too off-topic, right?
But with my off-topic things, they should have been somewhere else. ✍️ 🙂

If someone could make a new praise thread… Could someone do that?
Apparently I seem bad at this…

I think it’s great you want to talk about God’s glory and I would have replied earlier if I had seen the thread title! I love to think about Christ’s Transfiguration and how His glory shone whiter than snow. I think this is a great mind picture that gives us limited humans an idea of how He truly is. God is indeed glorious–He has made the whole world!

In El Salvador, they have a big festival every year which celebrates this Transfiguration feast (although this year because of the COVID virus they couldn’t do it as usual). They call their celebration La Bajada, which means “the lowering” in Spanish, and they have a statue of the humanly-dressed Christ which is carried through the streets toward a large Cathedral. Eventually, the statue is lowered into the float on which it is carried, and a glorified Christ, dressed in brilliant clothes, is raised from there. Everyone shouts for joy, and I think that is a wonderful festival!

That must be wonderful! And I think it would deepen my thankfulness, because it helps me to understand better what Christ has done for us!

Okay… let’s continue this thread till the last breath or so!
(The last breath of the thread/last entry, whatever).

I think it’s quite difficult to be the only one active, cause that wasn’t planned, and I thought it would close down, but someone wrote!
@womanatwell

But I am not sure how emotional I can talk about God in this thread. But… maybe someone just needs a little hope or so. Just like me, who really had a dry spiritual life.

💛 :writing_hand:t2:
So… our dear God loved us from eternity on. I shouldn’t give up. We can have hope because we know God loves us. We can trust because we know he is all powerful. He is outside of time, praised by angels, loved by the saints, and adored by mother Mary.

I’ve got hope. Thanks to all who pray for me. And thanks to Pope John Paul 2 whom I turned to. We never should give our believe up.
Even in the darkest trials -and believe me I’ve gotten those-.

We can have hope, we can love, we can endure, just knowing that god loves us. Knowing what he has done for us. Knowing that we will get a crown. Knowing that we will stand before him. Knowing that we can talk to him.

Remember, we are children. You know? Children often are dumb. Children are often ignorant.
But they still aren’t grown up. They don’t know the world yet. Remember our dear God is the source of our life. Mother and Father (But still, call him father. He chose the fatherly title). He teaches us and guides us.

He will care for us. Stick with him like glue. That is important. Stick like glue and follow.

I love to read about Christ’s miracles in the Gospels. These are manifestations of His glory. He is able to restore nature to what it should be.

I also like to read about His resurrection. He became glorified in His new body! And though he told His disciples this would happen, they really didn’t understand. They were so happy to see Him! This is how surprising and inspiring He can be!

I think you will stick with Jesus and then you can have all the hope and love you need, @Jellyfish .

There are many good saints to read, such as Teresa of Avilla’s book, Interior Castles and Therese of the Child Jesus, Story of a Soul .

I will pray for you too.

I like to think often of the meaning of “glory of God”, because, at least in my language, the term “glory” often has a negative use: we probably got tired of Roman or German emperors who claimed glory from us subjects! 😃

And instead, in the case of God, glory is something wonderful, sublime: it is a spark of knowledge of God, contemplation of the divine beauty and love of God. It is only a crumb, but that crumb makes us walk in the desert of our days, when the neighbor drills close to our ears all day 🙂

Glory of God, then, is trying to correspond with love to Love, doing his will, and praising him.
 
If you’re in a somber mood read The Delorous passion of the Christ.

It’s about Mary following His footsteps to the cross

But its joyful because if Jesus said no in the garden where would we be? It reminds me of His yes to God and how he saved us. Now he sits on the right hand if the Father. And judges us. He is so kind and under standing.

I was told to pray 15 decades. I do. Not 20. But the Lord measures the kindness you do. I still pray the mysteries of light. God wants kindness
And peace.

Spread peace. The world needs it now.

Love in Christ and Mary
Katie. 💕💕

Glory to God for all the wonderous things in the world. I cant conceive them all.
For some reason I smell like candy perhaps rock candy.

God you know how flawed I am. I pray. I pray for prayer intentions and am gaining confidence in my words.i pray privately. I hope those understand.

I paint the flowers of St. Teresa I offer them to you I give them as thank yous. You are with them…

You know I love you and I’ve had a hard year. But the dawn is coming. I know I have changed according to your will.

Glory to you Almighty God for being with me.
Always.
