I
Today comes a clear star
so divine and heavenly
which, being star, is such
that the same sun rises from it.
Ann and Joachim, East
of that star divine
light exits clear and dignified
pure being eternally;
dawn clear and beautiful
can not be equal,
which, being star, is such
that the same sun rises from it.
Do not light any matches
how many embroider the sky,
because it is the humble soil
their feet the white moon:
born on the floor so beautiful
and so heavenly light,
which, being star, is such
that the same sun rises from it.
Glory to the Father, and the Son's glory
Glory to the Holy Spirit
for ever and ever. Amen.

Return.
Zacchaeus and returned to become part of their ill-gotten wealth to those who hurt, who also wants to become and has had a life that was stolen from one form or another, to try to restore and repair the damage.
Maybe because the people they hurt not live on earth, or no way to do it. But we can always repair the error, sin, our prayer for them, with our prayers for their souls if they are in purgatory.
What great grace of the Lord gives us to repair the sins! We appreciate this opportunity to know that God gives us, for without repair can not enter Heaven, and either on earth or in purgatory, we must give back what we stole materially or spiritually.
What joy that God gives us the possibility of being born again, since anyone who repairs past sins not only breaks the bonds that had him gagged sin but wins in detachment and poverty of spirit, and Jesus said they are happy the poor in spirit, not only in Heaven, but because they are from the earth!
Seize money and assets we have to win friends in the gate of Heaven open us and let us pass. Because at the gate of Paradise are the poor whom we have helped, but also the poor whom we have not helped or, worse, those who have harmed or stolen in a thousand ways. Consider this when do sales or business, and sometimes it is better to lose some money in this world, rather than hoarding many goods but being poor before God.

Blessing...

Meditating a blessing

Blessed are those who love Mary.

It is not exactly a blessing enunciated by Jesus in the Gospel, but it is really a great bliss, happy returning to the practitioner.

Indeed the Church calls Mary "Cause of our joy", and truly so, because Maria brings happiness and joy to our lives, our families, and the world.

For the first miracle Jesus did was to turn water into wine, and did so for the express request of his mother, the Virgin. And we know that wine is a symbol of spiritual joy, because the drink some wine gladdens the spirit. So here the Gospel means that through Mary comes joy to the world, to men.

Also when Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, took the joy, as when listening to the Lady Elizabeth, the child she was carrying in her womb leaped for joy in her womb.

These passages of Scripture are not placed by chance, but we want to make it clear that Mary is cause for joy, and who loves her, be happy in this world, because Mary is not only the joy of men, but that is the joy of God, for God is infinitely happy that has Mary, as Jesus has revealed in the Work of Maria Valtorta.

And if Mary gives joy to God, what joy will give us, if we love it!

Do as the Apostle John, who from Calvary, took Mary to his home, and was happy here on earth.

Then a secret to happiness, perhaps the biggest secret is love Mary, have devotion to her, to honor, invoke, pray, and prepare to be inundated with spiritual joy of gifts and favors all kinds of all kinds ! He who does not believe so, to do the test and see what they are miracles.

Teresa, Blessed Founder, September 5

Teresa of Calcutta Beata
Teresa (Agnes) Bojaxhiu Gonhxa
Foundress
Roman Martyrology: In the city of Calcutta, India, Blessed Teresa (Agnes) Bojaxhiu Gonhxa, virgin, born in Albania, tried to quench the thirst of Christ nailed to the cross with eximia charity serving the poor brethren, congregations and founded Missionaries of Charity, to serve the sick and abandoned (1997).

Mother Teresa was Albanian by birth and his original name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. In 1948 Mother Teresa acquired Indian citizenship. At 18 years old, Mother Teresa joined the Order of the Sisters of Our Lady of Loreto in Ireland. He received his religious training in Dublin, Ireland and Dardjiling, India.

In 1931, Mother Teresa took the name Teresa in honor of a French nun Thérèse Martin who was canonized in 1927 under the title of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. In 1937 Mother Teresa took religious vows and taught for 20 years at St. Mary's College in Calcutta, India, in 1946, precisely on September 10, he received another call from God, service to the poor. In 1948, Pope Pius XII granted Mother Teresa permission to leave their roles as independent nun and started sharing his life on the streets of Calcutta with the poor, the sick and the hungry.

Mother Teresa founded a congregation of the Missionaries of Charity. His initial work was to teach reading to poor children in the street. In 1950, Mother Teresa began to help people suffering from leprosy. In 1965, Pope Paul VI placed the Congregation of the Missionaries of Charity under the control of the Pope and Mother Teresa authorized to expand the religious order in other countries. All around the world were opened to serve lepers centers, elderly, blind and people with AIDS and founded schools and orphanages for poor and abandoned children.

Mother Teresa deserves a special place in this gigantic network of communication because their work is a message of love. Their work shows that a true belief is always accompanied by action, that love in action is service. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 against their will but thanked on behalf of the poorest of the poor.

And indeed to think about death, make better use of the life on earth that God gives us, and we will not miss so vainly time in hobbies derrochándolo useless, and often sinful.

There are people who do not want to hear about the death, as if he could postpone this important moment to which the eternity of the soul.

To live well in this world, you have to know where we are going, and headed to the death, because if we were born, we also have to die, and we think it will help give value everything you have, putting God first, and secondly spiritual things, leaving the material for last, as this would only help us to reach God in Heaven, and should not be an obstacle to our salvation.

It's good that every day we get up from the bed, we think that may be the last day that we live on earth, and then make better use of the day, the life and accumulate treasures in heaven, we will be waiting after that death comes to all.
