Trust

 My Jesus, I trust in you. For every temptaion, compulsion orphobia, this magnificent little prayer is the key to  unlocing grace that will exactly counter whateve troubles you, and leaves you standing in peace.

In an age when governments become enemies and wars threaten all the time, praying this prayer is the only profitable avenue of action to take. Put your whole self in His arms and offer Him all your love. He who will give Jesus his love will not be left without relief.

Rest

We may participate in the passion of Christ or the suffering of our best friend, or we can participate in the passion of Jesus, which is a case unto itself.

 Sometimes our friend shares his suffering, and we do not feel it, but we are sad noentheless because he suffers.

There is enough suffering to go around; it will never be lacking. We do not necesarilly come to know the cause of our sorrows, or we feel the sadness without relief and without knowing why. But it is a universal constant that is always present, seemingly, without rhyme or reason.

All of us have sinned, so there is always that to postulate as the cause of our suffering. If we offer a prayer for the relief of our friend, it is a blessing when he is relieved, and a good man is glad when suffering ends and joy returns. Blessed is the man with a friend who offers himself for his friend :) +

Sinai

I found bliss in the strangest place; in the middle of a strong temptation, My Lord revealed Himself in a close embrace that inumdated my senses.

He is the God of the unexpected, the God who revealks HImself in ambushes, sweeping us off our feet, weightless for all our cares.

Whatever you need, He knows about it and provides Himself as an answer to all the questions fears and doubts with thich the enemy torments us.

To be lost is a fear that saps all the joy form ouir souls, but God's supply is infinite, and so our lives can never know borned or ennui; His prsence is all encompassing.

May you feel caress.

Moses was attracted to a burning tree that was not consumed.

God reveals Himself to us so we will let hIm consume us.

Abyssal

There is a moment that comes into every life, when a person discovers he has been standing at the knife's edge of the abyss. Blessed the man for whom prayer is sufficient, efficacious for the moment.

The best prayer is the one in that exact moment, where the heart earnestly appeals to God to love him and urgently seeks to be forgiven sins and to advance beyond retribution to reach out and touch His Face.

Once the storm has passed, peace returns, but one is not the same. All advances in spiritual life are after that moment when we have died in that moment.

People have wondered for as long as there have been human beings, what is death? We know it is a change, but that does terrify as much losing all control over our existance. There should be no fear in someone who has stood at the lip of the abyss and seen all the way across the abyss to Jesus, earnestly waving for us to cross over and stand at His side. 

Some have been and come back, but they are not the same; that person has been changed by God so that we prepared to transcend, having left discomfort behind.

Most of what we experience in life is of a nature we can do nothing about. The tiny point in abyss remains the moment of terror when we emerge in the light broad vistas of Jesus. Perhaps that is why those who have sought peace and solitude found them on a high mountainside, or a great sweeping ocean where the waves curl in ceaselessly.

Cor Amadeo

 The feeling of being abandoned for some trespass is not easy to live with, or, frankly to get rid of. But it is a feelings I have consented to live with for the sake of the Lord because it pleases Him.

The stakes are too grave to refuse. Trouble is, it is difficult to live with so much sadness, confusion and chaos, and the destruction and violence of wars can only be ground down by something equally as hard. 

In that regard, for transgressors who have done substantial destruction because he feels he is entitled, hope is almost dead of ever seeing life spring up again in such a hostile environment. When it gets too much, He gets to taste the fullness of such desolation. But in the voyage, it is impossible to pass by places where all His love has been so profligately splashed across the landscape. So on one hand, there is the starkest beauty in desolation and the suffering of abandoment, but on the other hand, to be in that moment when my feet will tread no farther no matter what I try to will. Seeing me and what has happened to me, He is not distant, and if He did not consent to mitigate the darkness I could not go on in this life.

As a consequence, He reaches down to me where I am laid out on the ground and lifts me up to be with Him at His side. He puts His finger in my side, and asks me to put my finger into His side because He cannot bear to be without the love He finds, and bathed in the crimson of His sacrifice, I am filled with bliss and tears wash my face, as He helps me to my feet when He sees I am ready.

My ey is upon you, to guard your step and
to reach out through your darkness to give you light.

Precision

A leaf leached out its tanin into the cement and
retained an image of the leaf in the cement.

The whole act was precise. Without precision, the bomb would not have exploded as designed.

Pictures show rubble where there had been buildings housing people,  but no people, the people were vaporized. No one in the youtube videos I have watched, about Hiroshima and Nagasaki nor even Trinity itself, mention EMP. It undobtedly existed, but no one noted the electromagnetic pulse that resulted from the release of nuclear force. Afterwards, the Japanese commanders noted total silence where there was usually all kinds of chatter by military personnel performing their duties, and civil authorities noted the abscence of chatter on radios from all over the region that usually existed. The people who would have made all the chatter did not transmit anyting - they no longer physically existed.

The largest ever nuclear detonation was made by Russia, called Tsar Bomba. It was so powerful, that it caused disruption of radio and electronic devices instantaneously. It proved to be too powerful, destroying too much to be usuable.

In some movies describing a nuclear attack, the people at ground zero beneath the thermonuclear explosion hear an eerie ringing sound and then there is silence. Any electronic device not sheilded from the electromagnetic pulse was destroyed by an electrical pulse that surges through electronic circuits, exploding each of them and rendering them useless.

That is why a place called Cheyenne Mountain was constructed inside a mountain in Colorado, so the electronic devices inside the bunker would be sheilded sufficiently from the power of the electronic wave. Government could go on functioning and armed forces could function to launch our own nuclear weapons at enemies far away.

The use of nuclear weapons would be an act of fury and anger of no use, because the land beneath a nuclear explosion would be vaporized and disintegrated, leaving rubble where pressure waves knocked down walls and incinerating everything in them.

The use of nuclear weapons defeats any human planning because the envisonment is made so toxic with radiation, that nobody could survive there, so that the primordial impulse to lay waste enemies is defeated itslelf.

Anyone not vaporised would be horribly burnt and already suffering from the exposure to nuclear radiation, a radiation that would remain potent and lethal for centuries. No enemy invader would gain anything because it would all remain deadly, in effect, forever. People in the Cheyenne Mountain complex might survive safe from EMP and atomic radiation, but 

there would be little rational impetus to launch nuclear weapons because the first wave had already reduced the world to a pit of death. The enemy would be dead, the civilian  population would be dead, and all human creations would be destroyed forever. Even something as simple as ordinary rainfall would be rendered deadly by radiation and the pollution of things burned into dust.

We do not have the right to ask to be spared if we do not commend ourselves to God and to Mary, the Mother of God, when they have begged us already to protect and defend us. We are so easilly overcome by our weaknesses that we are essentially defenseless. Thus, it would be a furtherance of insanity to turn away from God as if He had punished us by letting us blow ourseflves up.

The truth is, that we already can commit suicide in many ways; overating the wrong foods, drinking toxic beverages such as alcohol, ignoring medical warning signs, and indulging in things against which we have been warned, such a sexual promiscuity and indulgence. You can have a pretty good time partying and ignoring it all. But such things blind us to the truth that indulgence distances us from God who could sheild us if we asked Him. 

It is time to do good things, think good thoughts and offer God our love because He promises to help us and defend us from the evil intentions of others we will never meet.

I warn you, that the good we do will be seen and the good we do will bless us with untold happiness, if only we can forgo the things of this life which bind  us so. Only God offers us the release from that bondage to bring us life. The world only knows and only sees what interests evil. Where evil reigns, everyone must support evil. In this world there are those who engage in things that threaten life altogether. The human beings who adhere to the supremacy of sin, feel they are  safe from the consequnces of their wrong doing. But God will reveal everything, and the new universe He will create will be for those who love God and one another. No one else.

Cause

 

Cause for Concern

"My Jesus I Trust in You". 

Given the upheavals in political circles at the moment, this prayer is relevant for every human being on the planet right now. 

If people do not call on Jesus and Mary for protection and for an immediate increase in faith and love, it may be very difficult ot impossible to be in a right relationship with Him to ensure salvation.

Let me therefore point out that our future and the future of other human beings is dependant on our relationship to Jesus, in our hearts and in our actions in life rightnow.

All my life I, like millions of others, have lived  under the sword of nuclear war in which millions might be vaporised as were those at Hiroshima and Nagasaki  in world war two.

If there is no one else you love, let it be Jesus whom you love and to whom you turn with affection, putting aside all others in your heart so that there is nothing else but Jesus.

It requires nothing more than an expression of our love for Him, independant of our feelings. Do not let feelings stand in the way of a closer relationship with Jesus.

May God bless us all, protect us, and draw us close to Him.

We are one.
