You know I could offer all the indulgences there are I could deny myself for ever and do all the penance there ever was to do in this time on this earth and I could offer it to Jesus as my offering to Him. And if I refuse to obey Jesus wishes of me. If I offer my abilities and gain all the highest education there could ever be and give all the money to the church.
But if I do not offer my availability to Jesus to do with what HE wants then… I have done nothing, I have offered nothing.

Jesus told the people and us, that there came those who cast out demons, calmed the seas, healed the sick, …they were turned away because if we do not become available in Gods eyes, if we do not put away our own abilities, put away our own forms of love, if we do not love how Jesus loved then we covert His wish of His people to love one another the way He loved all, gave all, until in the end He asked His Father to let Him give His last breath for all.

Even for you and I.

God bless

Well easy to write this but it applies to me and maybe not to you, shows how I might make mistakes and even become presumptions. Pride maybe, it would take my refusal to acknowledge if that were right. I believe though for me that this above is the right path. So it would be that God wants MY love this much, otherwise I am being judgmental.
Sorry if it sounds this way.
God bless

Yes, Catholic in Training, 😃 I’ve been in RCIA (with my husband) for about 4 months, almost 5 months. I love it so much!!! How beautiful Catholicism is. However, being raised in Protestant church, I have much to learn. It is very different from the things I was taught, so I am constantly asking questions.

You are very right. Life is tough. 😦 But what you said here is perfect!! I can’t even add anything to it. 😛 Thank you for the reminder.

Hugs to you,

Stacie

Beautiful.
 
This is my cross at this time for me to love and smile with it.
I have just been married, and so walked into taking on my wife’s card accounts, five to be exact. Plus she smokes at least 2 and 1/4 packets of cigs per week. I hate smoking (not smokers) my wife does not see the importance in getting rid of her (our) accounts before taking on enjoyment. Yes I know you will say that it isn’t that easy for her. Good I know, and this isn’t about that.

It’s about this, I asked Jesus that if He had a woman fo me she had to love me for just being me, be catholic, into music and I didn’t mind taking on up to 4 children even though they might have mental health problems.
I got all that and more with the cards. But she listens to and loves Jesus and hears Him speaking to her, and at times pulls me back (and I love that). Seem strange, no it isn’t.
I offer my heart to Jesus and I beg Him to take from me all that He sees as causing His will not to be done by me. That means, I go straight to St Therese and remember the nun no one wanted to work with well it’s like that. Therese took her on purpose. Sandpaper against sandpaper rubbing and rubbing to get rid of the humanness. Jesus wants me (us) to change, Ezekiel “unless you become like an empty vase you are worth nothing more than the dung of a beast”) to be able to smile even in the smoking and the cards.

My putting all faith in Him, not only but also to be able to take this human aggravation I have against cigs, and the un normal use of cards to buy and pay tomorrow…
I mentioned that I can feel the change happening in me and it is coming this way, this is where I am up to Jesus putting me right into the place I hate, detest and rubbing me with it, no less than Therese had to take. I am at times not too pleased but at times I pray for strength and at others I try to and at times do smile and I will until I can smile and the humanness will all be sandpapered away.
Somewhere someone may be strengthened by this.

God bless
