Secretos para bien sufrir
Sentido al sufrimiento.
Algo que nos ayuda mucho a llevar resignadamente nuestros sufrimientos es el encontrarle el sentido a los mismos. Porque muchas veces sufrimos mal, es decir, nos parece que hemos sido rechazados por Dios, e incluso que Dios nos ha maldecido o castigado y por eso nos manda ese dolor, esa cruz. Sin embargo no de otra manera trató Dios Padre a su Hijo amadísimo Jesucristo.
Por eso tenemos que aprender a ver más allá de las circunstancias y no pensar que Dios no nos ama, sino todo lo contrario, porque nos ama nos ha enviado esta cruz grande o pequeña, pero siempre ajustada a nuestra complexión, a nuestra capacidad de llevarla con su ayuda, para que siendo semejantes a Jesús Redentor, también un día participemos en la victoria de su Resurrección.
Pero hay más todavía, porque cuando uno descubre que con su dolor y su sufrir, no sólo evita siglos de Purgatorio, o hasta el mismo Infierno, sino que ayuda a salvar almas, especialmente a las más queridas, entonces sí que uno le encuentra un profundo sentido al sufrimiento y quisiera aumentarlo con tal de salvar a los seres amados. Porque siempre será verdad que las almas se salvan con la oración y el sufrimiento. No otro camino ha utilizado el Señor, y no otro camino debemos usar nosotros.
Es difícil sufrir. A veces se llega a la desesperación, y más en este mundo moderno acostumbrado a buscar exasperadamente el placer y el bienestar, sin capacidad de sacrificio. Pero los santos pedían sufrir, porque sabían que sufriendo es como se salvan almas. Al menos nosotros no pidamos, como ellos, el sufrimiento, pero animémonos a ponerle el hombro a la cruz que el Señor nos regala, porque ella será la que nos conduzca al Paraíso a nosotros y a muchas otras almas.
Acostumbrémonos a hacer pequeños sacrificios, pequeñas renuncias, y recemos mucho para no malograr las cruces que todos debemos llevar, y que del llevarla bien, dependen nuestra salvación y la salvación de nuestros seres queridos.

Dios de todos los días...
Dios de todos los días
Padre Bueno, Dios de la Vida,
enséñame a descubrirte
en la vida de todos los días.
Tú nos ofreces tu presencia amiga
en la historia que vivimos.
Sales a nuestro encuentro
en amaneceres y atardeceres.
Nos miras
en los ojos de nuestros hermanos.
te revelas cercano,
en el que sufre y está solo.
Tú estás siempre,
Señor Dios de todos,
somos nosotros quienes
no te vemos, ni te escuchamos.
Creemos hallarte donde
nuestras explicaciones señalan.
Tú te escabulles y apareces
donde menos lo esperamos.
Dios de la pura sorpresa,
que nos dejas inquietos
y nos enseñas a estar atentos,
enséñanos otra vez,
y otra, y una más.
Nos cuesta tanto
aceptar tus palabras…
y dejarnos en tus manos.
Dios de todos los días,
vivo y actuante en las cosas que pasan.
Dios cercano y compañero.
Dios sencillo, Dios hermano.
Descúbrenos tu presencia,
ayúdanos a recorrer
el camino de la conversión.
Necesitamos dar la vuelta,
volver sobre nuestras convicciones,
revisar nuestras prácticas,
abandonar toda seguridad
para empezar de nuevo.
Dios de todos los días,
que nos vivitas en diarios y noticias,
que abres tu boca
en la necesidad de tantos,
que abres tus manos
en las búsquedas de muchos,
que caminas a nuestro paso,
que te sientas a nuestro lado,
en la familia, en el trabajo,
en la escuela.
Dios, sencillamente Dios,
te revelas en la vida,
en la creación y en la historia
que vivimos , cotidianamente, todos.
Cambia nuestra mirada…
abre nuestros oídos…
despierta nuestra mente…
enséñanos a contemplarte
para responder a tu llamado
y vivir la fe, en la vida de todos los días.
Marcelo Murúa

Message of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to Sister Josefa Menendez, with comment
I do not.
19 March and 2 April 1922
Sister Josefa continues to write about their temporary declines to hell, which will help you finally decide to forget all about herself and collaborate fully with Jesus and His plan for the salvation of souls. Their stories are an invaluable aid for those souls who want to love Jesus more, and to return to the Lord those who are at risk of damnation. Sister Josefa writes:
"... The devil was very angry because I wanted to lose three souls ... He shouted angrily: 'Do not run away ...! To be ...! Strong ...! Strong! 'This way, constantly, with shouts of rage that answered, by far, other demons. For several days I witnessed these struggles ... I begged the Lord to do whatever he wanted me so that these souls were lost. I also went to the Virgin and she gave me great comfort because I left ready to suffer everything to save them, and I do not let the devil come out victorious ... "
"The devil only shouted:` ... Be alert to anything that might disturb ...! Do not run away ... do you despair '. Was that there was tremendous confusion and shouting profanities. Then I heard him say angrily: `Never mind! I still have two ... Take away the trust ... 'I realized I had missed one, which had passed into eternity, because shouting: `Soon ... fast ... that these two do not escape ... Take them, that despair ... Soon , that we are '. Then, with a gnashing of teeth and a rage that can not be said, I felt such tremendous shouts, 'I have one and still will not let him take her ...!' Hell everything and it was just a cry of despair with a big mess and devils screamed and complained and blasphemed horribly. I knew by this that souls were saved. My heart leaped for joy, but I was unable to make an act of love ...
Sister Josefa, even in the midst of his experience in hell writes: "I have no hatred towards God how are you other souls, and when I hear that curse and blaspheme, because I so sorry I do not know what to suffer to prevent Lord is insulted and offended ... I feel much torment. It's as if her throat entered a river of fire that passes through the body, and attached to the pain I have said before. Like I apretasen behind and ahead with burning irons ... I do not know what to say ... I suffer much pain is tremendous ... eyes seems out of place and as if to snatch ... tirasen nerves become very strained. The body is as bent, you can not lift a finger ... The smell that's so bad, you can not breathe *, but this is nothing compared the soul, knowing that the goodness of God, is forced to hate and, above all, if I had known and loved, suffered much more ... "
* Josefa always dismissed this intolerable stench returning from one of his visits to hell or the devil away and tormented: smell sulfur, rotten meat and burned, according to reliable witnesses, was perceived significantly over fifteen minutes and sometimes half hour, and unpleasant impression which she retained much longer still.
Comment:
When we think of Hell or read some revelations of Sister Josefa like this on the very great and unspeakable sufferings of Hell, we believe that we can pass us, and we are as quiet as if that might not be for us, but since we believe as confirmed in grace, and we think that we can ever happen to us.
This is a deception of the devil who wants to lull empuñemos no weapons of prayer and penance, because we want to believe that we are sure of going to Heaven and avoid Hell.
But who can be sure of that if only God who has revealed that fate knows? For ordinary mortals, we are down to the last moment of our existence, in the test of life, you can have a happy or unhappy.
Let us exercise because we believe that we have condemned and try to think that destiny is eternal and the tremendous sufferings we suffer, and thought surely this will give us the courage to make the greatest sacrifices and be more diligent in prayer, not only to save us, but to save the poor souls, among which are our loved ones.
The devil, in these times, has put the idea of Hell, and does not want to hear about it. Even in Catholic only wants to talk about God's mercy, but he neglects his righteousness, as if God's mercy and justice are not the same.
Think Hell to avoid, because when death comes and everything will be sealed and may condemn us, as it is also possible that we may be saved.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You
I do not.

Jesús...
Conociendo a Jesucristo
Por el estudio.
Una de las vías para conocer a Jesucristo es mediante el estudio.
Efectivamente conocemos a Jesús cuando leemos y meditamos el Santo Evangelio, cuando leemos buenos libros que hablan de Él, escritos por santos autores, Padres de la Iglesia y teólogos de buena doctrina.
Cuando leemos la Biblia también conocemos a Jesús, porque todo el Antiguo Testamento es una preparación a la venida de Cristo y muchas de las figuras de la Antigua Alianza nos vislumbran uno o varios aspectos del Señor.
También hay que leer y estudiar, y sobre todo, saborear los escritos de los Papas, del Magisterio de la Iglesia Católica, su Catecismo y todos los documentos pontificios, puesto que Jesús ha fundado a su Iglesia para que le dé a conocer, y nadie mejor que Ella, la Iglesia Católica, su Esposa, puede darlo a conocer a las gentes.
Por supuesto que no debe ser un estudio frío, como se estudia cualquier otra materia. Sino que debe ser un estudio lleno de vida, y preparado y seguido por la oración y también por la recepción de los sacramentos, especialmente de la Eucaristía, que nos va como abriendo la inteligencia para que conozcamos al Señor.
Si hacemos así, cada día le amaremos más, y lo daremos a conocer a las almas para que ellas también amen a Jesús, tan digno de amor.
¡Alabado sea Jesucristo!

The source...
You are the source, Lord
That gives us a love without measure,
for us then
we put it into practice,
life and we do with our lives.
Already a fountain, Lord,
that the closest one,
more water splashing
fruits of generosity and dedication,
forgiveness and humility,
understanding and tenderness.
You are the source, Lord
Of authentic love.
Love that is not confused with farce
Love conquers not
to hit book,
or broken, plain and simple,
when the test looms in the corner.
You are the source, Lord
Love knows renounce oneself.
The love that seeks the good of others.
Love says "sorry" and not hate.
Love to talk calla fleeing.
Love on the run of the show.
Enduring Love,
tell us .... but that's to be weak.
You are the source, Lord
From a love that the earth needs
to change structures and people.
To lead a happy ending.
To teach that love,
when looking at the sky,
is unbreakable, eternal, lasting,
without gap, without pause or fissure.
You are the source, Lord
And we, our love,
we are but ...
small springs,
by slipping a love
the whole earth.
Amen.

Message confidence
A praying God and those who help themselves.
"In all that you do, 'said San Ignacio de Loyola, here is the rule of rules to follow: trust in God, acting, however, as if the success of the operation depended entirely on God's voice and nothing but, and using all your efforts for the good result, do not count them, and proceded as if everything was done only for God and nothing for you. "
(From "The Book of Confidence", Thomas P. Raymond of Saint Laurent)
comment:
We must do everything carefully and putting our utmost to do everything right, as if the success of every thing and every action depended solely on us but be convinced that ultimately everything depends on God, this is what we mean San Ignacio.
So none of quietism nor stand idly by trusting God, but undertake great works and great deeds as if everything is our work, but knowing that if the Lord build the house, in vain do the builders toil.
Remember the words of Jesus in the Gospel, which come in handy for this case: "When you have done all you ought to, say, We are unprofitable servants, we have done what we should do."
This should give us a boost in the apostolate, and supported by confidence in God, great deeds and actions undertaken for the glory of God and the good of souls.
If we do so, then fulfill the mission that God has appointed for each of us, and we were not discouraged by the few fruits obtained or ensoberbeceremos us by great fruit, but will refer all the credit to God, and we consider as mere instruments in his blessed hands and provident.
Tema de hoy...
Tema de hoy
Dios de los Ejércitos.
La Escritura llama a Dios, el Dios de los Ejércitos, y si bien muchos han querido eliminar esta palabra de ella, la verdad es que el Señor tiene ejércitos, no sólo de ángeles sino también de hombres, porque todos los confirmados son soldados de Jesús, soldados de Dios, que combaten en la más santa de todas las guerras, la guerra que se desarrolla entre Cielo e Infierno, y de la cual los hombres también participamos y somos como el botín.
Si buscamos las causas de la tibieza en la Iglesia Católica, encontraremos que gran parte se debe a que ya no se considera a los enemigos de Dios como reales, sino como cuentos medievales, y de esta forma ya son muy pocos los que se preparan para el combate y nadie enseña a los soldados de Jesús a combatir contra las fuerzas del mal. Siendo esto así, es lógico que la fe haya venido a menos y que el error y el mal lo llenen todo, incluso a la misma Iglesia.
Es tiempo de despertar y de empuñar las armas formidables con que el Señor ha dotado a su Iglesia para combatir al Maligno, porque siempre será verdad que al demonio se lo vence con la oración y la penitencia, y utilizando los sacramentales como el agua bendita, las medallas benditas, los exorcismos, etc. Usemos estos medios valiosos como soldados en combate porque en esta guerra nos estamos jugando nuestro destino eterno: Cielo o Infierno, y el destino eterno de muchas almas, incluyendo las de nuestros seres más queridos, pues muchos de ellos dependen de nosotros para salvarse.
¡Ave María purísima!
¡Sin pecado concebida!
