CLOUDED The world is outraged by the actions of terrorist groups like ISIS and others. We abhor the actions of these groups as we witness most of us through the media; deaths, burning, decapitation, the results of torture and the like. They kidnapped children and brainwash them and use them as human shields and suicide bombers. They persecute humanity for their religious beliefs that is not their sickness of spirituality. They force girl child at virtually any age to be a slave for themselves in the most insidious and corrupt manner destroying dignity and the most sacredness of a female, her virginity. Their actions are evil in the blackness of the hole evil lurks from, for this evil has no heart or conscience for it knows not God. We in society are in agreement on this issue. The world in its double standard of belief and justice is flawed at best. Our vision is clouded by how we view our standard of judgement. We do not see the fault of o...

PRAYERS Pope Francis not too long ago ask for us to pray for the farmers.   They need prayers the drought in India is horrible and in some places going on for over two years.   Many farmers do not have the money for insurance to protect them from the effects of a drought.   It is so bad in some places families can only get 10 liters twice a week to do everything requiring the use of water.   This is NOT drinking water but desperation dictates otherwise.   Bottle water which normally goes for 30 rupees for a 20-liter bottle cost the suffering 30+ rupees for a liter bottle a big chunk out of their bleeding income. Suicides are up among farmers in some places up to 40% a tragedy ignored or missed by the government.   The people and children walk down dangerous passages to get to wells that still have some water.   It was reported to allow men to have several wives whose sole job is to fetch water.  The government has awakened fro...

Anger Many Christians have become lustfully thirsty to have their anger fed with words of hatred and unbridled prejudice.   The lofty high place of their judgement does not serve their claim to Christianity.   It only shows their lack of love and mercy.   These Christians who walk in sheep’s clothing are actually devouring wolves.    These Christians wear the cloak of prayer and the actions on the surface are made to believe they are the children of God and the saved of the Redeemer reality sees differently.   Their prayers are in vain for the anger that they harbor in their hearts.   One cannot pray and harbor anger in the heart and think they are in oneness with God this is called being double hearted.   Prayer in anger, dotted with hatred and unbridled prejudice is not the formula to seek Our Lord for where sin is Our Lord cannot abide.       The heart of Our Lord is one of love and mercy He went to the cros...

Pope francis  Love, Compassion, mercy I love Pope Francis and since day one of his pontificate he sings my songs.  His love of the suffering and deep commitment to their  well-being  unfortunately falls on the deaf ears of all Catholic nations.  It is so easy to come up with excuses why the bob wires and virtual casting out of humanity that are in grave danger.  It is shameful and I for one cannot understand the teachings of Christ being portrayed in this way without the same He has given us.  It is upsetting to me to read the hatred spewed and vengeance.  Why is this for many of us have not experience this kind of suffering with rejection in its highest form.  These refugees did not want to leave their homes, possessions, family life and take a perilous journey to find hope and a new life.   The Holy Father speaks of this situation in many of his homilies however, the majority have turned their backs on this crisis...

THE INNOCENT You must know that God is offering His salvation to all the world (Acts 28:28). The vision of so many souls in trouble or on the verge of being lost is horrifying for it is based on merciless hearts and fear.  How is it we as a society of Christians cannot rap our hearts around the plight of the refugees?  Let us for a minute exclude the adults but CHILDREN?  How is this justified?  Is there no one who sees or believes the hand of Our Lord is present?  He sent the refugees to CHRISTIAN countries to His children to those given the grace and blessings of the fullness of faith for conversion.  Has our fears and lack of trust of Our Lord caused us to abandon Him and His teachings.  Are we not able to pick up our crosses and follow Him who died on the cross for us?  Are we so wrapped up in ourselves in unbelief and non-trust to believe all we received from the cross secures us and He will not abandon us or leave us helpless?...
