On #wounds #hurts #pain being #broken
ive always thought that we all are wounded one way or another whether
we like it or not..its part of being human and humane.. God in His
woundedness because of our sin gave us a wonderful gift everytime we #suffer or are #suffering and in pain... God makes/made us #wounded #healers ... in our brokenness God heals us to help #heal others
I Asked permission to repost this tweet and with it brought about this reflection ive put off ..and with whats happening in #catholic christendom all around the world ..killings..clergy abuse in all forms...the #priest #priests #priesthoodnation #priesthood #priestlife are taking alot of attacks some justified and some very unjustified specially for those #struggling to be #holy .. we forget that where sin abounds, Grace abounds much more..we forget they are as human as we are.. they sin too..they cry too..they bleed alot too.. they lack alot of things too.. to the remaining good struggling priests we have your back.. we do..we ask that you keep holy..we need you! To be those examples..to keep fighting.. to be humbler.. to be wiser..to be as loving and as merciful as Jesus ...in return we will pray hard that God sustains you in everything...we cant lose #holyground anymore .. may Mama Mary always cover you with her mantle of protection specially at times that none can understand you or sustain you when you experience loneliness #holypriests #holypriest #holypriesthood #holypriestlife #catholic #christianitytoday #christian #laity #forgiveness stop making Jesus bleed :(
Strengthen me
under the pressure of temptation.
Strengthen me
when principle is at stake.
Strengthen me
to do Your Will, My God.
Strengthen me
in moments of suffering,
in times of loneliness,
in periods of depression.
Strengthen me
that I may never swerve from You, dear Christ,
nor weaken through human respect,
through a desire to be popular,
through hope of social distinction.
Strengthen me
to accept my cross and carry it generously to the end.
On the battlefield of life, stand by me
that I may never prove a traitor in the ranks.
Stand by me
that I may not be dazzled by the glitter and glow of the enemy camp.
PASSION OF CHRIST, STRENGTHEN ME!

i found this very beautiful prayer on a friends
facebook page and asked him if i could post it and he too found it and
couldnt remember where he got it from.. i give credit to the owner/s
its a beautiful reminder that what we do almost always has eternal implications good or bad.. hence the prayer.
#love yes its #sacrificial..we
have the greatest example of what it is to love.. the unabridged
version..Jesus..loving and obedient til death.. love is not love until
youve realized youve sacrificed alot and your not willing to give up..
or sacrificed alot and say its time to give up to let them learn how it
is to grow without you, and because you love them enough to let go
Thank you Lord for the year #2018
a year with a mixture of sorrow, joys and blessings, lessons and
learnings, only with the gift of family love made us through all of it..
though we havent perfected it yet and were a long way off still..Thank
you for the miracles great and small.. knowing it was You..
Hopefully this year may we able to give you thanks during joyfull moments , in our busy time.. may we find minute ways to look up and thank You, in trying times.. to be able to give you our full trust with the knowledge that You will never leave us and that You are with us... and in our quiet time to just be praising you for the blessing we are yet to receive and the blessing of saving us from things that we should have gotten as punishment and yet in your mercy we were saved from.
