TRADITIONAL HYMN ~ Sweet Sacrament Divine



Sweet Sacrament divine,
hid in thine earthly home;
lo! round thy lowly shrine,
with suppliant hearts we come;
Jesus, to thee our voice we raise
In songs of love and heartfelt praise
sweet Sacrament divine.

Sweet Sacrament of peace,
dear home of every heart,
where restless yearnings cease,
and sorrows all depart.
there in thine ear, all trustfully,
we tell our tale of misery,
sweet Sacrament of peace.

Sweet Sacrament of rest,
ark from the ocean's roar,
within thy shelter blest
soon may we reach the shore;
save us, for still the tempest raves,
save, lest we sink beneath the waves:
sweet Sacrament of rest.

Sweet Sacrament divine,
earth's light and jubilee,
in thy far depths doth shine
the Godhead's majesty;
sweet light, so shine on us, we pray
that earthly joys may fade away:
sweet Sacrament divine.

~ The GREAT Springtime ~ by Meryl Viola Bravo, M.A.

“To those Christians who believe the Church has “out-grown” evangelism and should concentrate its efforts on social change, the Pope replies that the church ceases to be the Church when the Church ceases to PREACH JESUS CHRIST.  To secularists convinced that a maturing humanity will out-grow the “need” for religion, John Paul replies that, at the end of the second millennium, “God is preparing a great springtime for Christianity, and we can already see its first signs.”  To those offended by the very idea that some religions are true and others false, John Paul replies that the church honors whatever truths are to be found in world religions and cultures.  All truths in this world point toward the one great truth about the world, revealed by God in Jesus Christ---the world has come from God and, through the sacrifice of Christ, is destined to be consummated in God, who wills the salvation of all humanity.” Witness to Hope by George Weigel

JMJ

 Faith reveals to man the capacity to see things beyond what is presented to the human eye.  It is a realization that the mysteries of God are eternal and the knowledge of man to reach the reality of His existence amidst a world blind and deaf to His Most tender and gentle voice is the capacity to believe with full confidence in the Hand of Providence working and honoring the lives of those who know Him according to where he is in his journey towards the Ultimate Truth.  There are truths to be considered in this culture that has been lied to by the media and the unrelenting voice of the demands and pressures of society ruled by materialism and a false sense of identity; the identity that confuses the dignity of man and woman for the sake of a sentimentality that compromises truth in its very essence.  A sentimentality that has forgotten the true source of compassion for the dignity of man to come to a true authentic realization of the capabilities of man towards greatness; a greatness beyond that distinguishes and raises man towards a deeper knowledge of his identity in Christ.  A knowledge that reveals to man of the enduring love of God for His creation and a realization of how great are the depths and the heights of a God who unites Himself to His own creation by taking the form of flesh and dwelt among us.   He was like us in all manner except sin.  Christ takes our human flesh and transcends humanity towards an inheritance of the Kingdom as adopted children of the Omnipotent God and Heavenly Father.  Humanity becomes sacred by the mystery of the hypostatic union where Christ is both man and divine in nature; a living reality of a God who is living and active in the souls alive in grace.  God is preparing a new springtime of Christianity, contemplating the face of Christ growing in the knowledge of the mystery of the incarnation dwelling among His faithful and present in the lives of those who place their abiding trust in His faithful care for His children.  A new wave of reality that faces the current circumstances of the times is arising and bringing to flourishin the mysteries that are only revealed to the little ones that have won the Heart of the Father.  “For He has remembered His promise of mercy, a promise He made to our Father Abraham, to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship Him without fear, Holy and Righteous in His sight all the days of our life.”  A new Christianity that reveals the calling of the heart of man baptized in Christ as Priest, Prophet and King.  There will arise among us man born of a woman, born under the law, to reign over all of Heaven and Earth as Redeemer and Savior of all mankind.  The advent of our King is coming to renew in every heart and soul ready and disposed to receive the grace and heir of the Kingdom of God.  Prepare your hearts and make ready, for the Great Springtime of Christianity is arising in those who rely on His Infinite Goodness and hope for the Promise given to His adopted children through His Only Begotten Son, the Word Made Flesh. 

Eternal Word of the Father, Only-Begotten Son of the Father, Redeemer and Savior there is a great need for Your grace to sustain man in this culture that has been demeaned and misguided by the father of lies; lies that have degraded the dignity and identity of man and woman made in the image and likeness of God.  It is a culture that has been lied to by the media and the voice of the world, the flesh, and the devil; we rely on Your Infinite Goodness to grant us the grace to proclaim Truth amidst persecution and contradiction.  We find refuge in Your Infinite Mercy to forgive the sins of mankind so that we may remain ever united to You, O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Infuse in us the Presence of Your Divine Indwelling so that Your abiding Peace may reign in our hearts amidst the storms of the sinfulness of man.  Create in Your children a Most Powerful Grace to love so that those who have been lost may come to a greater knowledge of the Infinite and Everlasting Love You have for Your creation and the desire You have for us to be Your children.  Your generosity knows no bound to those who have been in Your care and to those who continue to abandon themselves to Your Most Holy and Divine Will.  You are Our Heavenly Father who keeps His promises and an abiding Presence for those who place their trust in You.  Receive our offerings as an oblation to Your Most Merciful Love for the Salvation of Mankind so that the whole of humanity may be consummated in You, O Most Holy Trinity, Three Divine Persons, One God.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in your mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.

O Cross of CHRIST ~


O Cross of CHRIST ~
“The wellspring of reconciliation, John Paul writes, is the cross of Christ.  Its vertical beam symbolizes the human need for reconciliation with God, and its horizontal crossbeam represents the need for reconciliation with the human family.  Because the church is the Body of Christ, its “central task” is “reconciling people:  with God, with themselves, with neighbor, with the whole of creation.”  One of the ways the church lives out that ministry of reconciliation is to remind the world of the reality of sin.  For reconciliation is impossible without naming the evil that had caused division and rupture in the first place.”  Witness to Hope by George Weigel

JMJ

 The Cross of Christ reflects the vertical and horizontal aspect of reconciliation for humanity; reconciliation with the God of Mercy and reconciliation with the human family.  In order for reconciliation to come to reality an acknowledgement of the cause of division must be named; the action of the Holy Spirit will bring forth a purifying fire of truth at its very heart.  We must acknowledge where we have failed in the eyes of God and in the eyes of humanity.  We must face ourselves as we are in our own misery and nothingness in order to reach the peace we desire in the grace of reconciling ourselves with God and our neighbor.  Only in this humility are we able to reach the ultimate goal of true union with God, with the Church, His Body.  There is much to realize in this encounter with ourselves; there is much to face in the reality of our very being.  We are nothing without God; the God who is love and mercy itself.  In the face of this reality, we come to a greater knowledge of who we are in the face of Christ.  In this face of Christ, we see our Savior and are aware of the unfathomable mercy He bestows on man in accepting the death of the Cross.  The ultimate icon of love is bestowed on man in the Cross; and until we unite ourselves to this Cross the reconciliation of man will not become real in the face of adversity.  We are in the Cross of Christ when we realize in ourselves the sin we have committed against the God of Love and the whole of humanity.  In this realization a deep awareness of our own misery becomes real and an abundant grace of truth and love becomes the source of true peace.  We must name the evil we have committed; we must voice it from our own lips in the purification of our own souls; until this happens the conversion of man is not possible.  The knowledge of this evil will only be revealed by the very being and inner conscience of man.  The conscience of man becomes alive when it is nourished by the doctrine of the faith and the magisteriam of the Church.  The truth of God will become alive in the soul who has set his soul towards this direction and then the reality of reconciliation between man and God becomes alive.  Until this knowledge is realized the age of relativism and mediocrity becomes the domineering factor in the souls of man and the true source of peace between man and God will not become a reality.  Until man realizes the depth of evil man is capable of and acknowledges it in his own misery; true humility of heart will not bring him to his knees in reconciliation with the Body of Christ.  We must name evil as evil and good as good.  Say yes when you mean yes, say no when you mean no; otherwise anything else comes from the evil one. 

 O Cross of Christ, You reveal to man the wonder of Your saving work in the whole of humanity by establishing a peace and reconciliation that is brought forth from our own acknowledgement of our own misery and evil.  We must not doubt the Cross that is powerful in its reality by the existence of supreme love You bestow on man in Your crucifixion.  In looking at You on the Cross, we acknowledge the evil we have committed and at the same time are faced with the intimacy of mercy You give us in our knowledge of our own misery.  In humility, we kneel before the cross seeking refuge and reconciliation with the God of love and mercy so that in turn we may find peace in our relationships with our neighbor and the whole of creation.  May we look to You, O Cross of Christ, as the source of healing in our own brokenness and misery.  May we look to You, O Cross of Christ, as the source of refuge and strength in a world that is in great need of Your mercy.  May we look to You, O Cross of Christ, as the ultimate and supreme icon of love that must be reflected in our very being so that all who witness our lives may encounter You in a most profound and intimate way towards peace and reconciliation among all mankind.  O Mother of the Crucified Christ, give us the humility to acknowledge our own nothingness and pray for us who have recourse to thee.  Amen.

Virginity, Celibacy & the Preservation of the Faith


LIVING FLAME of DIVINE FIRE

“The Pope’s DEFENSE of MARRIAGE and the Church’s sexual ethic was humanistic rather than authoritarian: Just as there was no “trial” life and no “trial” death, there was no “trial” love or “trial” marriage, “for one cannot love only on trial, accept a person only on trial and for a limited time.” Witness to Hope by George Weigel

JMJ

Love is ETERNAL and INDEFINITE in the HEART of a SOUL who dedicates her life to the one who is ETERNAL LOVE! In this dedication, Christ is the head of the heart that longs for only Him and desires to fulfill His will in the circumstances that Christ gives her through Divine Providence. The trial is not a trial unless it is something that is not dedicated to Christ. Love is eternal and not a trial to be played with. In His crucifixion, Christ did not reveal to man the love that was temporary, but exposed Himself to a love that was beyond what the human family can deliver. Such is the love that must be reflected in the heart of the human family. We must dedicate ourselves to Christ in order to remain peaceful among one another. A deep respect for the dignity of each member must be revealed in our actions with one another. There will be a LIVING FLAME of DIVINE FIRE that will disturb the conscience of members in the human family when a witness of hope comes into the home who longs for peace; a trial by fire but a fire that brings forth an eternity of great sanctity and the awesome Power of God’s Divine Mercy. In order for a family to reflect the love of the Most Holy Trinity, the members must be willing to receive the grace that is offered to them by the Mercy of God. This grace at times can be a humiliation, but a witness of hope for the broken and a grace for the salvation of souls. In the heart of Christ there is no such thing as a trial; He loves us for all eternity. We as Christians must deliver this hope amidst a world that has forgotten the deepest meaning and essence of love; a love that is eternal. It is only in Christ that we will encounter the eternity of love. Run to Him, O Child of the Living God, and You will see how great are the depths and heights of God’s eternal love for all of mankind.

Eternal Word of the Father, I come before You with the deep understanding of the eternity of love You so generously bestow on Your children by gracing us with the seven sacraments of the Most Holy Roman Catholic Church. Your mercy is beyond bound and I am eternally grateful for Your continued presence in our world that has forgotten you. Our world has made marriage and love for the dignity of man a temporary thing and the commitment of love has been diminished by our own weakness and brokenness. We are in great need of Your Divine Power to reveal to man the great need we have in Your Divine Mercy. Enflame in the hearts of every human family the grace to persevere in their trust and confidence in You despite the great knowledge of their struggle against the consequences of ORIGINAL SIN. May the DIVINE FIRE You enflame in us be a source of great sanctity among your faithful and a witness of hope to the whole of humanity that Christ Alone is our Savior and Redeemer and is very much ALIVE in the HOMES of those who place their TRUST IN YOU! 
 
 Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in Your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Witness to MORAL TRUTH!

“The truth about the drama of the moral life and about freedom is revealed.  John Paul concludes, by the example of those prepared to die rather than do what they know is wrong.  The witness of martyrs is a powerful counter to the claim that the dignity of freedom lies in doing things my way.  The martyr teaches us that freedom is truly personal and truly liberating when it seeks the good and rejects evil, even to the point of death.  Not everyone is called to be a martyr.  Everyone is called to be a witness to moral truth, and “witness” is the original meaning of the term “martyr.” 

The threshold of hope, the threshold of human dignity, is not crossed by lowering the bar of the moral life but by reaching higher---and then, if one has failed, by reaching higher again.” Witness to Hope by George Weigel


JMJ

In the story of the human heart, there lies between him and God the living reality of the inner conscience of Man to search the truest essence of freedom found in Him alone.  In this freedom, the personal and most liberating encounter is contemplated when in the realization of what is good has been demeaned by what is evil, is counterchallenged through the witness of moral truth; a truth that is proclaimed by the message of the Gospel living and active as a sword that cuts through the heart of Man towards a greater dignity beyond what is fathomed and conceivable to the eyes of every human being who is blinded by a false sense of liberation.  Liberation that degrades the very dignity of Man is a blinded freedom that enslaves the human heart; as it is oppressed by his passions and is contradicted by the very essence of love.  For love is not dominated by a self-seeking or self-centered reality in the heart of Man; Love is directed towards the other for a more living reality of what is good and whole bringing forth a more awesome encounter of charity.  Charity that reveals moral truth as the essence of Man brings forth new life and new encounters of hope that liberates the human heart towards what is more essential and more beneficial for him and for the sake of all humanity.  In encountering a rejection of this love, we find that God in His Awesome Splendor reveals a more profound liberation and freedom that is witnessed through the lives of those who are willing to die rather than to do what they know is wrong.  This death is a living witness to all who are blinded by the freedom that claims in doing things “my way” rather than doing things that answer to the demands of Holy Charity.  When in the midst of challenge, the blind freedom that manipulates Moral Truth towards what is evil or a less dignified way of living; the witness that is greater still and most powerful is the witness that challenges the manipulation through the power of Charity found and contemplated through the merits of Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God.  The threshold of all our hope and the threshold of all that is found in the very essence of Man comes forth from the contemplation of the face of Christ, who is the Redeemer and Savior of all who are oppressed by the false freedom proclaimed by a culture that demeans the very meaning and dignity of Man.  When in this encounter of the face of the Redeemer, there is a deeper realization of Love that is beyond what can be fathomed; for when Moral Truth is proclaimed and witnessed by those who have encountered Him a deeper realization of freedom is revealed and the truest essence of liberation is perceived as a powerful tool towards what is real and most awesomely contemplated as love.  Love breaks through the fetters of a heart hardened by a freedom that has been blinded by a self-centered and self-seeking mentality.  Love revolves the heart of Man towards what is greater and higher for the sake of the dignity he has been called to fulfill as a Child of the Most Awesome and Omnipotent God adopted through the merits of Christ, the Redeemer and Savior of All Mankind.  Love is the truest witness of Moral Truth that brings forth a freedom that liberates the human heart towards what is whole and entire and most pleasing to the heart of God.  When in questioning the truest essence of Freedom; one must realize the question of love.  For when in the dignity of Man’s freedom, love is compromised – charity towards himself and his neighbor – then the realization of this freedom is also compromised.  When in his most awesome and personal freedom is encountered the truest act of Holy Charity, then the face of the Redeemer is contemplated all the more through the selfless act of love witnessed for the sake of Love.  For the Witness of Moral Truth and call of every Christian is to proclaim the eternity of love to the whole of humanity according to the circumstances of the times and the challenges that is currently faced in our culture today.

Eternal Word of the Father, Only Begotten Son of God, Redeemer and Savior of All Mankind, there is a challenge that is facing our culture today that demeans the very heart of Man and degrades the very essence of human freedom.  A freedom that delineates from what is True and is manipulated towards what is most degrading to the dignity and heart of Man.  As Man strays from his Most Ultimate Meaning, a Greater Witness is being demanded all the more towards what is Right and Good for a more powerful proclamation found and rooted in the Message of the Gospel.  Your message of love is contemplated through the Face of Your Redeeming and Most Awesome Splendor of sacrifice found in the cross You carried for the sake of all humanity.  May we who call ourselves Christian, witness Your Redeeming Love to every human heart that is in need of Your refuge from the oppression of a false freedom that has compromised the dignity of Man.  Create in us a new heart, overtaken by the Redemption and Merits of Christ, Your Only Begotten Son, so that freedom in its truest reality may reign all the more and the oppression of a false sense of liberation may not be the ruling factor that continues to blind the human heart towards the truest essence of Truth rooted in Love.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in your mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights


“On Friday morning, September 15, the last day of the conference, Pope Saint John Paul’s decision was received back by fax:  “Accept what can be affirmed, and vigorously denounce what you cannot accept.”  That was what Mary Ann Glendon did, in a closing statement that welcomed the conference’s sections on the needs of women living in poverty, on improving literacy and education, on ending violence against women, and on the importance of women’s access to capital, land, technology, and employment.  Then Glendon blasted the documents’ “exaggerated individualism,” which had compromised commitments made in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  Surely, she said, “this international gathering could have done more for women and girls than to leave them alone with their rights!”  Witness to Hope by George Weigel


JMJ

When in the course of history, Man is challenged to compromise his fundamental right to the sacredness and dignity of his being from the moment of conception to natural death; the inevitable right of Man is to respond uncompromisingly to Truth.  Truth must prevail against any form of delusion that freedom is only found in the world’s contagion that the freedom to choose is the inevitable right of Man.  Freedom allows man to conceptualize Truth in its very essence; Truth that brings more liberation in the Heart of Man than the capability and ability to freely choose what is beneath him.  A law system that degrades the very humanity of life becomes a law system against Truth; and will inevitably deconstruct against itself.  The challenge that is facing our day in age blinds Man from this truth through a materialism and relativism that no longer distinguishes and acknowledges the Origin and Beginning of all that is and will forever be.  We face a conflict in Our Nation that has been formed from its very beginning, a persecution of the fundamental right to the Freedom of Religion!  The very creation of this country began from a persecution of this inalienable right; and it is now being challenged through a healthcare system that blindly signifies the destruction of human life within the womb of woman.  The very Conscience of Man is directly being attacked through the hidden agenda of a law system that degrades the very dignity of existence; Man is to live and to breathe and to grow just as any human being has a right to Life!  When in the face of this challenge, Man must stand firm to the Truth of Life and vigorously denounce the degradation of the very dignity of who he is in the eyes of His Maker; the Creator and End of all that is Living.  Fortitude and sacrifice reveals to Mankind the seriousness and weight of the consequences that comes from denouncing what is inevitably against the undeniable Right to Live!  Most inexorably the right to live within the womb of woman!  A Law System that denies this right will have much to answer to on the Day of Judgment; those who participate with full knowledge and free consent of the will towards an end that leads to the destruction of the Unborn is not fit for the Kingdom of God!

 O Mercy of God, Divine Fire of Love and Charity, You have called Man to know full well of the consequences of our decisions in this life that will forever be judged by Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, Light from Light, True God from True God!  Healer of all who are broken, refresh your children in Your Most Merciful and Infinite Mercy and reveal to us of How Intimate a Savior You are to those who Trust and our Confident in the Power of Your Might!  Overflow the graces we need to respond most generously to Your Call to Respect all Life from the Moment of Conception to Natural Death!  Grant us Your Abiding and Divine Presence that we may in turn know of the Mercy that You bestow on Your children who trust that it is You Alone who will save those who are in need of Your constant care to live more fully the Truth and Splendor of Mans Dignity as Your Image and Likeness!  Create Anew the Hearts of those who have been broken by abortion and make them Witnesses to an end of this great abomination to God, Our Creator.  We commend to You, our Country and Nation that was built and created under You, O Divine Savior, True God from True God!  Overturn the lies with Truth and reveal to us the Power of Your Might through the Faith and Witnesses of those who defend the Dignity and Sanctity of All Human Life!  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in your mercy hear and answer me.  Amen.
