Something I realized

[pwlj_christ87]

I just realized that Jesus is alive and present today, as in he can be literally beside you… sometimes that idea escapes us, and when we read sacred scripture we cant relate, to things such as “giving up possession” and come follow me, because you think that it only applies to the disciples back in the day … but after reading our holy fathers exceprts from romereports.com yesterday his approach is so SIMPLE. yet so Magnificant. and Beautiful!. jesus is alive and literally beside us. and that helps a lot when knowing every step you take everywhere you go, he is right there beside you…

when you are out and about the house, and walking in the midst of people and afraid… take the steps because he is literally going before you. when there are bad influences around now that the lord goes right in front of you. follow him like a soldier! how amazing it is that god took on human flesh… to become like one of us… truly shows that god cares, the same care he took all in salvation history but more personally and beautiful with jesus

may we pray that our faith increases and that we can detach and be authentic Christians in todays time or material goods …

LITERALLY and not metaphorically (for how many times have we heard this in evangelization on television and brushed ioff)

I wish you all, brothers and sisters in Christ to marvel at this! god bless

And not just beside us, but in our mouths and down our throats at Mass. Our relationship with Christ, as Catholics, is the most intimate physical relationship we have.

John 6:63

English Standard Version (ESV)

63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

I join you in prayer that our Faith will increase and we can be authentic Christians in this time. Great post

Realizing that Jesus is always with me was something I “thought” I knew. Then I read the poem “Footprints In the Sand” and it really hit me then! Have never forgotten that when things are truly difficult, and I don’t feel His Presence, He is carrying me! That reminds me to “hang in there”, because He IS with me - all the time! Makes it hard to sin, because I’m very aware that Jesus is with me and watching – and so is my Guardian Angel, who will definitely tell on me, at least in prayer for me! With both watching me, I’m more careful about what I do!!!

If you haven’t read it, or even if you did in the past, read again the “Diary Of a Soul” by St. Therese – The Little Flower, who learned the simple Little Way. It has made a tremendous difference in my life! I had to read it several times over several years before it really sank in, but when it did !!! Oh, what a difference it made!

and when you know jesus is beside you and watching you don’t even WANT to do anything bad because you know the goodness and light and truth that he offers to you! and so much more…

What exactly does that verse mean to you?
