I think though that the truth of the matter is: even the smallest of lights can dispel the greatest of darkness. I think that is why the world hates Christ and his Church so much. When it's pitch black even the smallest of flames is blinding and painful. We have to be that light, even if it makes them uncomfortable but to try and gently lead them to the path. Spotlights vs gentle illumination etc. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435759811076424387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374188875785694831.post-67630130594490694952016-02-05T03:37:21.667-06:002016-02-05T03:37:21.667-06:00Locks can be a lot easier to change than you might...Locks can be a lot easier to change than you might think because I have done them myself in the past.

We need to radiate God's love for us brightly to cast out the darkness and be a beacon to those living in the dark.<br /><br />I think this world is under an eclipse right now.

That is what we are called to do - be the biggest, fattest worm on the hook that we can be.

Because we fear there may be some among them who wish to do us harm? Didn't Jesus tell us that would happen but commanded us to love anyway?<br /><br />The devil has done a great job in getting us to hate those in need through fear. I wonder if Jesus will accept the excuse that we didn't care for those in need because there were vipers among them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374188875785694831.post-52338656298355989682015-12-02T09:57:05.960-06:002015-12-02T09:57:05.960-06:00I agree.

Back when I was in high school studying physics, there was a little side bar in the book. It said something about how much energy it takes to go from the speed of sound to the speed of light. The equation went something like N for initial velocity, N+1 for this speed, N+2.... by the time it got to almost the speed of sound it was an astronomical amount of energy expended. <br /><br />Then it said to go from that speed (almost to speed of light) to the speed of light would require the sum of all previous energy expenditures added together. An 'infinite' amount of energy would be required to move beyond the speed of light (aka time travel.) <br /><br />Think about that for a minute. We as Catholics believe that Viaticum is food for the journey.. the journey from this life to the next. From being here, present in time, to there with God outside of time. To move beyond time requires infinite energy.. and all of it is present right there in the Eucharist. <br /><br />Wow... in that one bite, that one morsel is all of Jesus Christ, all of his body, soul and divinity. Do we really think of that before we consume Him?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435759811076424387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374188875785694831.post-57075240168520486182015-12-02T09:41:52.971-06:002015-12-02T09:41:52.971-06:00I am always amazed at how many people go up for Ho...I am always amazed at how many people go up for Holy Communion oblivious to what is actually taking place. They go through the motions without thought as to who they are holding in their hands. They go to “receive” only. As the greatest of the Sacraments we go up to give, to swear an oath to the death that we will live our lives for Christ and die for him if asked to. I think that if people truly understood what they were doing and the oath they were taking by accepting Jesus into their entire being communion lines would be much shorter and much more reverent.

The heavens above me were God’s canvas painted with countless stars. The Milky Way was a brightly lit highway across the inky blackness of the night sky. The ocean around me was a glow with bioluminescence – billions of microscopic fireflies lit up the water. Our wake churned up the glow leaving a green carpet behind us. The methodical slap of the water against the hull was a lullaby that raised my consciousness to a peaceful state I have never known or experienced since. Words cannot describe the feeling. I was with the presence of God. I know why sailors have been drawn to the sea since the beginning of time.
