Amazing love…how could it be…that my King would die for me.

Easter Prayer

God our Father,
by raising Christ your Son
you conquered the power of death
and opened for us the way to eternal life.
Let our celebration today raise us up
and renew our lives by the Spirit that is within us.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Message From God For You

This video contains a message from God for you! No matter who you are and what you’ve done, God wants you to hear this. I love the way it simplifies everything, not so much religion and doctrine, but just the straight gospel and what God requires from us.

Remember when you surrender your sins to God, not to forget to surrender all your self effort in trying to live a holy life too. We as Christians need to stop doing something God never said we could and have faith that we are saved completely apart from the law. When we have this mind set, Satan loses his power over us and we are freed from the bondage of works salvation and enter into God’s power of defeating all our sins by his power and his power only!

A Rocking Trip Through The Ten Commandments

Play the animated Ten Commandments video song given above.

Join Naomi Less for a rocking trip through the Ten Commandments. We have brought the Decalogue to life with the amusing exploits of some villagers and their mischievous ways. This video clip was created in honor of Shavuot, the holiday when the Jewish people commemorate receiving the Torah (Law) at Mount Sinai.

Most interpreters of the Bible explain that all those things are covered by the Ten Commandments, which are umbrella statements each containing hundreds of details. The rest of the Five Books of Moses are dedicated to explanation of all those commandments. Of course the Bible has plenty to say about many behaviors that are not in the Decalogue.

This animated video song just explains the ten commandments in a very simple way.

The Power of Prayer

Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. God tirelessly calls each person to this mysterious encounter with Himself. Prayer unfolds throughout the whole history of salvation as a reciprocal call between God and man.

Prayer presupposes an effort, a fight against ourselves and the wiles of the Tempter. The battle of prayer is inseparable from the necessary “spiritual battle” to act habitually according to the Spirit of Christ: we pray as we live, because we live as we pray.

In the battle of prayer we must confront erroneous conceptions of prayer, various currents of thought, and our own experience of failure. We must respond with humility, trust, and perseverance to these temptations which cast doubt on the usefulness or even the possibility of prayer.

The principal difficulties in the practice of prayer are distraction and dryness. The remedy lies in faith, conversion and vigilance of heart. The Scriptures attribute efficacy to prayers performed by the faithful. James 5:16 states “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective”.

Catholic tradition has for centuries continued to attribute power to prayers performed by believers. The belief in the power of Christian prayer to change the world beyond physical efforts has been emphasized in the Catholic tradition over the centuries.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 states: “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” This emphasizes the belief that prayer has more power than physical force.

Prayer is the best armor we have; It is the key which opens the heart of God. – Saint Pio of Pietrelcina

Without the aid of mental prayer, the soul cannot triumph over the forces of the demon. – Saint John of the Cross

By humble and faithful prayer, the soul acquires, with time and perseverance, every virtue. – Saint Catherine of Siena

For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy. - St Thérèse of Lisieux

I am certain of it that Our Lord will eventually bring to the harbor of salvation, the one who gives himself to prayer. – Saint Teresa of Avila

When the difficulties of life overcome us, let us always remember to preserve in prayer!

Why Do We Believe In God?

Watch the above video on why we believe in God. Fr. Robert Barron answers the most basic question, why do we believe in God? To expand our knowledge about the spiritual life, we must begin with the truth. In this video clip, Fr. Barron looks at how each of us is already ‘wired to God’.

I absolutely love the style of delivery, it is clear, refreshing, and visually stimulating and engaging. The background scenes make the presentation alive. The arguments from desire and contingency are so compelling that they serve as perfect tools for explaining the reason for belief in God.

Robert Barron is a prominent theologian in the catholic church. He is the Francis Cardinal George Chair of Faith and Culture at University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois, and was ordained an Archdiocesan priest in Chicago in 1986.

If we look to God as simply an ingredient among many in a chain of causes and relationships within the mechanism of the universe (e.g. why is it raining, where do babies come from) we have made a category error. Fr. Barron tries to move the conversation about God into a realm where God fits the answer better.

Here are Fr. Barron’s arguments for God in a nutshell:

Argument from desire: You can’t desire what you don’t know. Since we desire something good and just, which we can’t find here (nothing is good enough or just enough), THEREFORE there must be something that has given us the desire for that can fulfill it. That good and just thing is God.

Argument from intelligibility: Science assumes being is intelligible. The world has an underlying logic. There are rules that if follows and we can recognize them. He mentions that the current Pope, Benedict XVI, argues that when we recognize the world we “re-cognize,” we re-think the logic or logos that has formed the systems of this world. That logic is God, who is in nature intelligible.

Argument from Contingency: The world exists but it doesn’t have to exist. Basically put, we can ask why is there something rather than nothing. We don’t have to exist, but we do. To find the cause of the existence of the universe we have to go outside of the universe. That cause is God.

How Did Jesus Celebrate Christmas?

Watch the above video clip on how Jesus celebrated Christmas.

Everyone wants Christmas to be meaningful.

But, instead it becomes, shop, shop, shop, credit cards, traffic jams, todo lists, useless gifts,

then off to church, Noel, noel, noel,

Sometimes we are glad just to survive it

Did you know Americans spend 450 billion on Christmas every year.

So we ask? How did Jesus celebrate?

Jeus gave. He gave himself relationally, incarnation, time, space, presence,

presence…Did you see where this is going?

What if you brought fewer gifts,

that sweater she wont like, that random gift certificate,

that toy he doesn’t need, and then instead of buying that gift,

give something valuable like your TIME.

talk, eat, sled, bake, bike, read…TOGETHER.

Make gifts (like when you were a kid)

and remember that money you didn’t spend for gifts,

what if you gave some of it away?

to the poor, the hurting, the lonely, the hungry, the sick, the thirsty.

Lack of clean water kills more people everyday than anything

And here’s the thing:

The estimated cost to make clean water available to everyone is 10 billion

10 billion solve world water problem, 450 billion spent on christmas

DO YOU SEE WHAT COULD HAPPEN?

In 2006, four churches gave $500,000 to build fresh water wells

In 2007, more churches said Let’s do this thing and 3 million was given.

Thats a lot of love…life all because people $pent

less on gifts and more on relationships

Let’s face it

consumerism != happiness

consumerism != memories

consumerism != meaning

Spend less on gifts

Give more presence

Love like Jesus

It began with worship

It begins with worship

Worship fully

Spend less

Give more

Love All

This is the season of advent

You are free to worship…live…breathe…give…laugh…celebrate…conspire

The Story of Jesus in the Desert

The story of Jesus in the desert meets us in many different ways. It is an amazing account of God taking on the feeble form of a created being and experiencing the utter humility of unprotected isolation in barren wilderness. This story has also become our story – part of the glorious history of our family of faith, celebrated each year in the season of Lent. But it is also the very human story of one man carrying the huge burden of his calling, seeking strength to come to terms with the task that lay before him, and refusing to accept the short cuts and compromises offered by the enemy.

40 Days of Jesus in The Desert – Illustrations Explained

1. In a room scented by the smell of sawn timber, a man hears a voice in his inner ear calling him
It is time -
your time, and mine
enough of the mending and making and shaping of wood
time to put aside the tools
the sharp nails…
can wait.

2. While the village still slept, he set his face to the low morning light and followed this beautiful voice
calling him
leading him
drawing him
into wilderness.

3. He did not look back to the comforts of home, but walked on…
into the desert – the place of suffering and desolation, where each rock hid its own danger
every stone could strike at the heel
he walked onwards
alone.

4. As he walked he left something of himself behind.
the skin of civilisation was being burnt away by the hot sun
driven away by the wild animals
But in the rhythm of every step was the music of his voice – singing to his soul
It’s your time… and mine.

5. After a time, the desert seemed so big, and he -
so small
A panic rose in him.
It clutched him like a hand at his throat
Who am I?
What am I?
What terrible road lies before me?
Father, my body is weak
I am a drop of water
On a rock
Under the hot desert sun
Soon I will be gone.
still he walked
still he followed
That voice.

6. Dust devils plucked specks from the sand and spat them at his face.
Walk on my Son
This is your time… and mine.

7. He followed the voice into dark canyons carved by raging streams now long dry
and he was grateful to leave behind the dark places
to climb towards light.

8. And from a high place he watched in wonder as the sun sank into the desert sea
He watched as it stained the sand like wine spreading on a table
like blood.

9. As evening fell He looked for a place to rest
The dry desert skies sucked back the warmth from the ground as he lay down his head
And the night creatures were set loose
hungry and wild.

10. A weak morning light filtered into the ravine where he slept and he woke
That restlessness was there still
gnawing at him
calling him on
Now is your time…and mine
Now is your time…and mine

11. Find me O my father
Make me
Take me back to you
My throat is cracked
But thirst is more
For you
My stomach craves
A food that feeds only this -
My soul.
So I walk
Desperate
Close to falling
Stumbling…
To you.

12. At his lowest point, a blessing fell at his feet.
A sound brought him to some rocks, and he peered over into the shade and saw foxes at play.
The cubs left their lair and tripped over each other, nibbling ears and licking fur, oblivious to his presence, at one with all things.
the pure joy of the moment found its way into the very centre of him.
It lit up his soul.
Desert became paradise.
Father came to Son.

13. The joy in his heart could not stay still.
It found its way to his feet
and made a dance!
what a dance!
His sandals beat the dust
and his clothes cracked the air about him.

14. He danced down valleys and over stream beds.
He danced the day long…..
A dance for the hungry and the thirsty
A dance for the broken and hurting
A dance for the widows and the fatherless children
A dance for the lonely and the betrayed
A dance for the poor in spirit and those captives to the night
A dance for those downcast and robbed of hope
A dance for the dying and those left in grief
A dance for those who suffer and need relief
A dance of for grace and love and mercy
A freedom dance…
For all mankind
And as he danced, he drove away the black birds of death and hate and war,
and profiteering and slavery -
evil took to flight.
This day belonged to the dancer -
And the Dance.

15. Exhausted now. Burned up.
The responsibilities of this journey.
The burdens to carry on the way
The foolishness of the dance
And his dreams lay like bleached bones at his feet.

16. The terrible black birds drew near again.
drawn to the sweet smell of carrion
Blown in on the breeze.

17. That night, he stood alone before the moon.
Listening again for the voice
Straining for its music
His face shone with the reflected light.
Sun to moon.
Moon to face.
And he started to hope again.
Now is your time my son.
In you are my hopes – my dreams
In you is everything I am.
In you is all my love, all my mercy, all my grace
Now is your time… and mine.

A Chat With God

Watch the above video clip ‘A Chat With God’. Its duration is 3:26 min. This video is talking about some of the struggles and thoughts a person might have with prayer, through the lens of a Chat conversation with God.

Download the Chat With God video

Yes, prayer can sometimes be a tough thing for people. Many really don’t know how to pray or what exactly is going on when we pray to our Creator. In this busy life, people don’t get even 5 minutes to be with His Creator. But we all know that we should pray and that our Lord loves to hear our prayer or rather our conversation with Him.

But then comes the next question: How to pray? What exactly is the right way to pray? Is there any hard and fast rules in prayer? How can i start this chat with God? Which is the perfect time? Is it the morning time when i wake up from my sleep or is it to be done when i get back to my bed at the end of a long busy day? Or is it an ongoing thing in my mind all through the day?

As you can see above, we have so many questions and doubts on this ‘Prayer’ area. That’s where this video comes in. Check it out. You can see a struggling individual who wants to pray to GOD deep down in his heart, but don’t know where or how to begin. This is a short video of almost 3 minutes long, showing his Chat with God. Their conversation is really great and teaches us so many things. Go ahead and watch this beautiful video.

The above confession video answers the 3 popular questions which most Catholics and Non-Catholics have in their minds. They are:

1. Why do Catholics confess their sins to a priest?
2. Where is that in the Bible?
3. Would Jesus approve?

Confession = Reconciliation

God gave this special privilege to forgive the sins of others to the descendants of the Apostles i.e. the bishops and priests of today. Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit on his disciples and told them “If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (John 20:23)

They hear our sins and forgive them in HIS name and also gives us a penance. Penance has to do with repenting of sins already forgiven by God through the grace of the sacrament of confession. Penance is for our benefit. We repent by practicing the opposite virtue of the sins committed to strengthen ourselves against the temptation to sin. And prayer – turning back to God – is one of the best ways to repent and turn away from sin.

Year Of Faith Malayalam Theme Song

Pope Benedict XVI has announced a Year of Faith that runs from October 11th, 2012 to November 24th, 2013. Please go to the article The Year of Faith to know more about the year of faith.

The Year of Faith is a “summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Savior of the world” (Porta Fidei 6). In other words, the Year of Faith is an opportunity for Catholics to experience a conversion – to turn back to Jesus and enter into a deeper relationship with him. The “door of faith” is opened at one’s baptism, but during this year Catholics are called to open it again, walk through it and rediscover and renew their relationship with Christ and his Church.

“The ‘door of faith’ (Acts14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church.”— Pope Benedict XVI, Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei for the Indiction of the Year of Faith.
