the barest whisper is a roar
if it speaks of the Truth
never fear deceit and hypocrisy
repression and censorship
which are the enemies of Truth
 
when you bare the Truth with valor
yours is the Kingdom of Him who says
‘I am the Way the Truth and the Life’
He blesses and emancipates you
against the dark powers of falsehood

PAPAL BLESSING OF ROSARIES VS DISASTERS

 

On Pope Francis’ visit to the Philippines, Jan. 15 to 19, for those who are attending the Papal Mass, whether in Luneta Grandstand or Palo Cathedral, whether via TV or radio broadcast, whether from abroad via Internet or Youtube, please hold up your rosaries for the final blessing at the end of the mass. The goal is to have 3 million rosaries worldwide blest by the Pope during his visit as a response to future global disasters. The Pope is visiting a nation within the Pacific typhoon corridor, beset by an average of 20 to 25 typhoons a year, which are becoming more intense and frequent due to climate change. 15,000 rosaries blest by the Pope will be given free to disaster survivors in Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, etc. Vatican Media reports that the Pope will come up soon with a ‘climate change encyclical’.

 

THE ROSARIES ARE TO AVERT FUTURE DISASTERS THROUGH PRAYER. PRAY THE ROSARY, EVEN JUST ONE DECADE, IN TIMES OF THREATS OF DISASTERS LIKE SUPER-TYPHOONS, EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, EBOLA, FOREST FIRES, DROUGHTS, FLOODS, FAMINE, WARS. THE ROSARY IN ITSELF WILL NOT SAVE YOU, BUT YOUR PRAYERS WILL. AND GROUP PRAYER IS MORE POWERFUL THAN INDIVIDUAL.
 

 

UNEXPRESSED FEELINGS
A true story

 

I met Sister Jenny (not her real name) at the healing ministry. She told me this story and said she hoped I could share this with other people. She said it was a story of ‘unexpressed feelings’.

 

Sister Jenny could not bend her right arm. She consulted several doctors who gave prescriptions which did not help. She asked a masseuse to rub her elbow regularly, but to no avail. The Mother Superior, who was her formator, noticed this, and decided to talk to her about it. (Formator is an assigned ‘spiritual formation’ counselor within a religious congregation).

 

MOTHER SUPERIOR. Looks like your ailment has been going on for two months now, Sister Jenny.
SR. JENNY. Four months, Mother. I have sleepless nights. I can’t stand it anymore.
MOTHER SUPERIOR. What’s bothering you, anyway?
SR. JENNY. (Hesistantly.) Nothing really, Mother.
MOTHER SUPERIOR. Come on, sister, out with it.
SR. JENNY. Nothing really, mother.
MOTHER SUPERIOR. Out with it, sister. You have to tell me.
SR. JENNY. Well, it’s Sister Rose. We had this conflict four months ago.
MOTHER SUPERIOR. Just about the time your arm started bothering you, right?
SR. JENNY. Right. She hurt me terribly. It happened this way ….
MOTHER SUPERIOR. I don’t have to know the details. You have to confront her in a nice way.
SR. JENNY. Okay, mother, I will. I can’t stand it anymore.

 

Sr. Jenny went straight to the chapel and prayed hard. She said, “Dear Jesus, please help me when I talk to Sister Rose. It’s going to be hard. I’m scared. Give me the grace not to fly off the handle.”

 

And so the dreaded day came. Sister Rose wanted to speak first. She also had ill feelings. Sr. Jenny held up her hand, then spoke first. Very frankly, and very calmly, she poured out her ill-feelings. Instead of anger, silent tears fell. Not even a sob. Tears had a way of melting angry hearts. Sister Rose also started to cry. They embraced each other and there was no more need to explain or to know who started it all. The problem solved itself instantly. Tears were a form of silent dialogue. The next day, Sister Jenny could bend her arm.

 

tears and anger are contagious
love and hate are contagious
forgiveness heals and anger consumes
 
wounds heal instantly
when ill feelings are expressed
but only if done gently
 
wounds bleed continuously
when ill feelings are unexpressed
silent anger consumes the soul
 
if your adversary feels ill against you
but you have forgiven and forgotten
how lucky you are and how unlucky he is
 
when you have healed yourself
walk away in peace
and pray for the other
