THE POWER OF HATRED

–

hatred has so much power over us

it can consume the spirit

only forgiveness releases us

from the slavery of hate

–

relationships mold our lives

hatred and harmony make or break us

a third of those who seek healing

want healing of the spriit

–

there is such a thing as cancer of the spirit

that gnaws the core of people

so disturbed that they cannot sleep

they are filled with fear, despair and bitterness

–

the gift of inner peace is often elusive

it is better one is materially poor

than spiritually poor

inner peace is the desire of so many

–

with inner peace

one is undisturbed by evil forces

there is inner strength

there is union with the Lord

–

Lord, grant us the gift of Your peace

teach us to love and forgive

teach us to relate with each other

to keep our homes and workplaces intact

The Relationship Pyramid

–

Level 1 DOMINATION – the conqueror

what is mine is mine, what is yours is mine

–

Level 2 PARTNERSHIP – the businessman

what is mine is mine, what is yours is yours

–

Level 3 COMMUNION – the sharer

there is no mine or yours, what is is ours

–

Level 4 LOVE – the giver

what is mine is yours

–

Level 5 UNION – the spirit

i am you, you are me

–

union with God does not mean

loss of individuality or identity

even if we are one with the Lord

and with each other, we are still what we are

The Time-Space Pyramid

according to einstein …. if you travel in space on a straight line

you end up in the same place because the universe is curved

being finite but unbounded like a circle without an end

if you travel at the speed of light, your mass is zero

you return to the same place at another time

but the same place is no longer the same

straight lines have become curved

and you are no longer you

MESSAGE FROM SISTER RAQUEL

–

the healing ministry is not ours, it is the Lord’s

let Him decide what we should do for Him, not us

–

for those who participate in the healing ministry

we must always all remember, including myself,

that the primary goal is service to the Lord

to bring people closer to Him

all other concerns are secondary

–

we often digress from this precious goal without knowing it

in my case, many have approached me

offering to donate land for the healing ministry

they offer to raise funds to put up the healing church

my first reflex is to accept for the glory of the Lord

–

but after much effort and time to raise money

i begin to contemplate if what i was doing

is really what the Lord wants

or am i digressing from the important task

of reaching out to people for the Lord

by spending more time on mundane matters

such as raising money to put up edifices

there are parish churches everywhere

we do not have to put up new buildings

to bring souls to the Lord

the Lord’s Church is in us

not in the buildings where we congregate

–

remember to focus

balance the mundane concerns

of administration and finance management

with the true goal of the Lord’s ministry

build people not edifices

remember the story of martha and mary

martha was cooking in the kitches for the Guest

mary was absorbing His precious words
