Blessed. You and I are blessed beyond measure. You and I are of great worth. Yes, we come from great stock! We come from our Lord! And we mysteriously come through our mothers womb and we mysteriously enter into this universe naked, without a compass, given life by the creator of all life, we receive a tiny body created by a genius, inside of it are cells, veins, bones, capillaries and blood, that comes from our Lord's blood. The anatomy of our being, the creation of the universe and all life first began with our Lord, who purposefully created us for eternal life. We will live a lifetime in eternity, but before than we will not fully unravel the unanswered questions we have regarding the mystical body of Christ living in our own bodies. That is something our precious Lord and only he can explain. And yet everywhere we go, everywhere we turn, our Lord is with us. Sharing his awesome power and presence where ever there is life. He in turn gives us a portion of himself, and yet we are not even paying attention to him, we some how believe in our hearts it is us. When in reality it is all Christ. We must humbly acknowledge him, for He is present and powerful beyond our comprehension. When we choose Christ, when we choose to live in him, and place him first, in all things, we receive his almighty power, and that power increases upon every sacrament we receive. Whether it be our Baptism, our Confirmation, Sacrament of Holy Matrimony, or Holy Orders, Our Lord is in our midst! Even at our death bed, when a member of the Catholic Church comes to bring us our final Eucharist, the priest is there to give us our final Sacrament of the sick. God had thought of everything good for his children. He wants more than anything else for every child he has ever created/formed in their mothers womb, to be with him forever. How blessed we are to have the love of so Holy a Father in heaven, that will personally come for us and take us back to himself the day our body dies. We will be assumed into heaven just like our Holy Mother Mary, and all the Apostles/Saints, yes, none of Gods holy children, will ever be forgotten. To be counted among them, we must desire Christ, we must be disciplined in Him, in choosing His wisdom, we begin to live in Christ, and die to our desires. It is then the expression of faith, the expression of being a true Catholic can be expressed fully by the honorable/disciplined life we choose to live. Being a Catholic, comes with a great price, the greatest of all sacrifices, we sacrifice our life for others, as Christ sacrificed his life on the cross for us. On a personal note, I can honestly say that I cannot give enough to others on the behalf of my prayerful devotion and service to God. I want to do so much more for my brothers and sisters in Christ, while I am still able. This podcast is only the beginning I hope and pray for more abundant fruit to fall from God's tree of life living in me. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us choose our Lord first in all circumstances, we must place each other before ourselves and bring Christ back into the hearts and minds of all children while we are still capable of living on earth. Our reward will be great when we see Christ face to face. I have been given the gift of seeing faces of God's holy people that visit during deep evening prayer. They are all very beautiful, and in my heart I believe God allows me to see the blessed Virgin Mary our Mother when she was betrothed to Joseph. Very dark skin, long thin hair, frail, yet beautiful, her flawless skin, her smile captivating my heart! A monochromatic vision that I can play back in my mind, but could never draw. But I know she is real. Her holy presence has come more than once, in confirming, her love for the rosary!
