El Apocalipsis...


El Apocalipsis en la Obra de María Valtorta
No se convierten. 
Dice Jesús:
“Yo vendría a morir por segunda vez, para salvarles de una muerte más atroz todavía... Pero mi Padre no lo permite... Mi Amor lo permitiría, la Justicia no. Sabe que sería inútil. Por ello vendré tan sólo en la última hora. Pero ¡ay de los que en aquella hora me verán habiendo elegido por su señor a Lucifer! No se necesitarán armas en manos de mis ángeles para vencer la batalla contra los anticristos. Bastará mi mirada.
¡Oh! ¡si los hombres supieran todavía volverse a Mí que soy la salvación! Sólo deseo esto y lloro porque veo que nada es capaz de hacerles levantar la cabeza hacia el Cielo desde donde Yo les extiendo mis brazos.” 
(Los cuadernos 1943 – María Valtorta) 
Comentario: 
¡Pobre Dios que no sabe cómo llamar a los hombres a la conversión, al arrepentimiento! Nos cubre de dones y los usamos mal y para pecar. Nos manda castigos, permitiéndolos, y nos rebelamos contra Él. Nos da salud y la usamos para el mal. Nos envía la enfermedad y el sufrimiento, y no sabemos sufrir con resignación y paciencia, acusamos a Dios y no aprovechamos ese dolor para purificarnos.
El libro del Apocalipsis es muy claro cuando relata las pestes y calamidades que suceden a los hombres al fin de los tiempos, y que ellos en lugar de convertirse, siguen en su pecado hasta el fin.
Que no nos suceda esto a nosotros y aprovechemos todo lo que Dios quiera o permita en nuestras vidas, porque todo será por amor hacia nosotros, ya que Dios, todo lo que hace o permite, lo hace o permite por amor, aunque no lo entendamos de momento, e incluso aunque no lo entendamos nunca en este mundo.
Preparémonos a los tiempos difíciles que se avecinan y no juzguemos jamás a Dios, aunque nos parezca que sus castigos son muy duros. Lo que sucede es que el pecado es muy grande.

Gospel of the day

Mt 10, 16-23.

Perseverance is the key.

Jesus told his apostles: I send you as sheep among wolves: be so wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues. Because of me, will be brought before governors and kings, to testify before them and the pagans. When arrested, do not worry about how they will speak or what they will say what they should say they will release at the time, it is not you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you. Brother will betray his brother to be sentenced to death, and the father his child; children will rebel against their parents and put to death. You will be hated by all because of my name s, but he who endures to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one city, flee to another. I assure you that will not break through the cities of Israel before it reaches the Son of man.

Reflection:

We're entering that time announcing the Lord in this Gospel, because the world becomes increasingly pagan and contrary to God and Christ and all that is Christian is being increasingly persecuted and hated.

So we need to arm ourselves of perseverance, because, as Jesus says in this Gospel passage: "He who endures to the end will be saved."

It better be for a while in the grace of God, but we must always live in grace, fulfilling the Ten Commandments and being kind to everyone. And if we have the misfortune to fall into grievous sins, it is necessary to lift us to become a sincere confession with the priest and continue on their way, without ever stopping, no matter what, because the award is excessive and is promised to no that are flawless, but for sinners who keep getting up over and over again of his sin, and ultimately reach perfection.

If we are true Christians, then the world will follow us, because the highest in the world are opposed to the wisdom of Christ, and necessarily, if we want to be consistent with the Gospel and live it, we're going to the world, now more than ever is in power the Evil One.

But what can happen to us bad, really bad, God is with us? Absolutely everything is ruled by God, and He will not allow anything in our life that is truly harmful. So we have great faith and trust in God and his Mother, who run our lives.

Let us ask the Blessed Virgin the grace of perseverance in good and in the grace of God, that we are saved not only us, but while we are like magnets that attract other souls to salvation.

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls.

Santidad...


Ser santos
Pequeñas cosas.
Hay que ser fieles en las pequeñas cosas de todos los días, y así estaremos preparados para cuando el Señor nos quiera encomendar cosas grandes. Así actuó la Virgen, que como lo narra el Evangelio en la anunciación, no sabía que Ella era la elegida de Dios para ser la Madre del Verbo. Pero ¡cuánta fidelidad en María desde pequeñita! Ella entró en el Templo desde chica, y fue fiel en todas las cosas, como una niña más, como una joven más, y siempre esa fidelidad a las cosas ordinarias de cada día, la fueron preparando para decir ese “Sí” sublime que dio al Arcángel San Gabriel, y por él a Dios.
También nosotros tenemos que tomar su ejemplo, porque Dios seguramente nos ha elegido para ser grandes en su reino, para ser santos, que es lo más grande que uno puede ser en este mundo y en el venidero. Pero para ello debemos ejercitarnos en hacer las cosas comunes de cada día, con mucho amor a Dios y al prójimo, y entonces nos iremos preparando a dar ese “sí” como lo dio María, como lo dio Jesús. Porque también Jesús se preparó a su misión grandiosa con la vida común en la casa paterna, junto a su familia, en el trabajo, en las cosas cotidianas.
Dios no busca cosas extraordinarias, sino que Él quiere manifestarse en lo ordinario. ¿No nació el Hijo de Dios en un pobre portal? ¿Y no vivió treinta años en el trabajo y en la vida común? E incluso en su vida pública, ¡qué sencillez en la actuación de Jesús, sin humillar a nadie, siempre siendo humilde en todo!
Hay una palabra en el Evangelio que siempre, pero siempre debemos tener presente. Y es esa que dice: “Quien sea fiel en lo poco, será fiel en lo mucho. Y quien es infiel en lo poco, también será infiel en lo mucho”. No podremos pretender ser fieles en las grandes misiones que Dios nos confíe, si no hemos sabido ser fieles en todo, a las pequeñas misiones de todos los días, en nuestro cumplimiento del deber.
Recordemos que las cosas bien preparadas, salen bien. En cambio lo que no se prepara bien, no sale nada bien. Preparémonos entonces con pequeñas cosas, a hacer grandes cosas cuando llegue el momento, cuando llegue la hora de Dios, nuestra hora.

Gospel of the day

Mt 10, 7-15.

All apostles.

Jesus sent his twelve apostles, saying: By the way, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. You have received freely, give without pay. Do not bring up gold or silver or coins or provisions for the journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy livelihood. When you enter a city or a town, find someone respectable and stay at home until they leave. Upon entering the house, invoking peace Say hello on it. If that house deserves it, that peace be upon her, but if unworthy, that peace return to you. And if you do not receive or want to hear his words, to leave that house or that city, shake off the dust of his feet. I assure you, on the day of Judgment, Sodom and Gomorrah will be treated less severely than that city.

Reflection:

Jesus today also sent us Catholics to evangelize, proclaiming that the Kingdom of God is near, because after a great tribulation that will experience the world, the Kingdom of God come to earth.

So we invite all people to conversion, before it is too late. "Fear God happens," says Scripture, and God passes through our lives we must follow.

The same must instill in the men who follow Jesus, because at some point there will be no longer and that has to happen will happen.

This is not to frighten, but to be prepared and have in mind that we are not made for the land but for Heaven, that our country is the ultimate paradise, and everything down here is fleeting and we must help get to Heaven is, and should not be an obstacle to that end.

The life of man on earth is like a waiting room to enter into eternity, and what we do in life prepares us an eternity of happiness or torment.

We can not stay quiet because on the day of judgment many of our brothers we could complain: "What!, Do you know and I do not say anything?"

So hand in hand of the Virgin and trust in her and in God, evangelize our brothers, whether the word or, more importantly, with our Christian way of life.

Let us ask Our Lady's grace be available for God to use us as instruments of salvation in this hour the world is experiencing very serious.

Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls.


Prayer...


Prayer of the five fingers





                                      HERE YOU SEND AN ECUMENICAL PRAYER LINDA (all religions) of Monsignor BERGOGLIO.

                                      IT'S SIMPLE BUT COMPLETE. (perhaps already know)

                                                                           


                                         A PRAYER FOR EACH FINGER

1.The thumb is nearest you. So start praying for those who are closest to you. They are the easiest people to remember. Pray for our loved ones is a "sweet duty"

2.The next finger is the index. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, teachers, doctors and priests. They need support and wisdom to indicate the correct direction to others. Keep them in your prayers always present.

3. The next finger is the tallest. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, congressmen, businessmen, and managers. These people direct the destinies of our nation and guide public opinion .. They need God's guidance.

4.The fourth finger is our ring finger. Although many were surprised, it is our weakest finger, as you can tell any piano teacher. Should remind us to pray for the weakest, with many problems or prostrated by disease. They need your prayers day and night. Never be too much to pray for them. You should also invite us to pray for marriages.

5.Y finally is our little finger, the smallest of all the fingers, which is how we see ourselves before God and others. As the Bible says "the last shall be first." Your pinkie should remind you to pray for you .. After you've prayed for the other four groups will see your own needs in perspective, and you better pray for yours.

Evangelio deol día...

miércoles 11/JUL/12

Evangelio del día 

Mt 10, 1-7. 
Los Doce. 
Jesús convocó a sus doce discípulos y les dio el poder de expulsar a los espíritus impuros y de sanar cualquier enfermedad o dolencia. Los nombres de los doce Apóstoles son: en primer lugar, Simón, de sobrenombre Pedro, y su hermano Andrés; luego, Santiago, hijo de Zebedeo, y su hermano Juan; Felipe y Bartolomé; Tomás y Mateo, el publicano; Santiago, hijo de Alfeo, y Tadeo; Simón, el Cananeo, y Judas Iscariote, el mismo que lo entregó. A estos Doce, Jesús los envió con las siguientes instrucciones: “No vayan a regiones paganas, ni entren en ninguna ciudad de los samaritanos. Vayan, en cambio, a las ovejas perdidas del pueblo de Israel. Por el camino, proclamen que el reino de los cielos está cerca. Sanen a los enfermos, resuciten a los muertos, purifiquen a los leprosos, expulsen a los demonios. Ustedes han recibido gratuitamente, den también gratuitamente”. 
Reflexión: 
Jesús da a los Apóstoles el poder de expulsar demonios y curar toda enfermedad o dolencia. ¿Pero esto lo hizo solamente con ellos? No. También ahora Jesús da ese poder a los sucesores de los Apóstoles que son los Obispos; pero lamentablemente ahora sucede que muchos de ellos no son conscientes del gran poder con que están dotados, y tienen poca fe. Por eso debemos rezar y ofrecer nuestros sufrimientos por la conversión y santificación de obispos y sacerdotes ya que de esto depende en gran parte el triunfo del Corazón Inmaculado de María en el mundo. No los juzguemos nunca, sino recemos por ellos que son nuestros capitanes y obedezcámosle en todo siempre y cuando obedezcan al Papa.
Pidamos a la Santísima Virgen un aumento de fe para ellos y para nosotros, y una toma de conciencia de los formidables poderes con los que Jesús ha dotado a sus Ministros.
Jesús, María, os amo, salvad las almas.

Saints †

San Benito
First Founder of Religious
Year 517

Benito means "Blessed".

Breads that are multiplied. There was a severe famine in that region and San Benito ordered distributed among the poor all the bread that was in the convent. Left only five loaves, and the monks were many. Seeing them scared by this daring said, "You'll see that the Lord will return with the same generosity with which we shared." The next morning, arrived at the gates of the monastery 200 sacks of flour, and never knew who sent them.

Terrible Temptation. The young Benito terrible temptations came to him impure. In his imagination he had corrupt scenes and got the memory of some woman he had seen for some time and felt the full force of passion. I prayed and asked for help to heaven, and finally when he felt he was about to consent, was launched against a bush full of sharp thorns and wallowed there until his whole body was wounded and hurt. Thus, through such bodily injury did heal the wounds of his soul, and the impure temptation away from him.

His famous rules: RULE THE HOLY. Inspired by God, our saint wrote a regulation for his monks he called "Holy Rule". It is a document that has become famous worldwide, and in which the regulations were based on all other religious communities in the Catholic Church. They recommended certain details like these:
First you need a religious basis (after charity) is humility.
The house of God is to pray and not to talk.
Above all should strive to be friendly as a kind father.
The treasurer or manages the money should not humiliate anyone.
Our motto should be: Work and pray.
Everyone should strive to be exquisite and pleasant in their dealings.
Each community should be like a good family where everyone loves.
Avoid each individual all that is rustic and vulgar. Remember what St. Ambrose said: "Behaving with nobility is a great virtue."
And those who lived with him claimed that all the good that recommended in his Holy Rule, he practiced in his daily life. With these principles, the Benedictine community has done immense good in the world in 15 centuries.
Die standing, as the oaks. On 21 March 543, was the saint in the ceremony of Holy Thursday, when he was dying. He leaned on the arms of two of his disciples, and raising his eyes turned skyward once more that both recommended to those who heard him: "You have longed to go to heaven" and a sigh as of who gets what she had so longed for, was dead.
Two of his monks were praying far away, and suddenly saw a radiant light that rose to the heavens and exclaimed, "Surely our Father Benedict, who has flown into eternity." It was the moment in which the saint died.
