” Simon Peter answered him, Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of Eternal Life”

Jn 6:68

With these words within the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, some may not truly understand, so they will turn away and give up on following Jesus Christ. This quote from the Gospel, couldn’t be truer of the way we are within this society. We all in one way or another, have walked away from something, we give up on working through something because it is the easy way out. Take marriages for instance, gone are the days of 40+ years together, only because, nobody wants to work together to get thru the tough times, so we think the grass will be greener with another at our side? In some cases, the marriage gets off on the wrong foot, as some will become someone they are not just to land what they say is the ” big catch”? If your basing a marriage on this philosophy, then you will be doomed from the very beginning. When you are not true to who you are at the beginning, then how do you expect for anyone to truly know the real you? Life is not about portraying some fake portion, or maybe someone that you yourself does not even know, because when you do this, then you are dividing yourself, from all others around you.

Then as we walk our paths of this journey, there will be many life events that will come to us, yes these events will control us if we let them. Some of these events will be brought on by ourselves and our actions, as other events will come from those around us. No matter how the event may come, when the going gets rough, we walk away to try to escape it, instead of facing it head on and working through our troubles, which will actually make us better and stronger moving forward. Jesus talks about his body and blood to his followers, he then passes around a bread loaf for each to rip off a piece, for his last supper, then passes around the red wine as his blood, for all to drink. When we eat this bread and drink this wine, we are acknowleding Jesus within our hearts and souls, as he then gives us eternal life within the world of his peace. It is when we do not keep to this faith, that any hope for our future, diminishes from our paths. Right now within this society, too many have lost this faith, as we see all the chaos and ugliness around us. Many have walked away from Jesus Christ, as they think they can do better as they walk this journey through life? Some may go to the house of the Lord on Sunday’s, then as they leave after service, will forget what was said and return to their own ways? But will say they believe? To truly believe in Jesus Christ, is believing with your mind, body and soul, listening to the words in the Gospel and implementing them within your current life, not forgeting what was said, then trying to move forward with your own version? Jesus was not about taking over the world, or killing others, this is totally on we the people, and with all the ugliness around us, we can clearly see, just how many have walked away and gave up on Jesus, taking the easy way out, instead of staying in the fight and working through the hard times, so we than can be within the peace and love of Jesus Christ.

To some within this society, it is all about me, me, me, they think that Jesus never exsisted and no matter right or wrong, their way is the only way? This is exactly the kind of attitude that is affecting us all as we walk our paths of this journey. With this attitude or Ideaology, we are on a path of division and destruction, unless we change our ways and attitudes, then one day there will be nothing left for further societies to come. We are our own worst enemy, we will walk away from anything that gives us troubles and find the easy way, as we have become too lazy, to work for anything that is worth it for our future. Yes, there are some that will try to push their ways on to us, they will Bully us into taking our control away from us, so they can only seem as powerful as they are? Those who are being Bullied, then walk away, instead of standing up to the Bully, because at the time it seems like the easy way out, but in reality, we are furthering the agenda of the Bully. We all have been bullied at some point along our paths, it is how we deal with these times and not walk away, that determines of how we move forward, better and stronger throughout this journey we walk.

Walking away from anything at the time, may seem like the best thing? But in reality, we are hurting ourselves and those around us. We have walked away from too many of our troubles in the past, only if we have stayed and fought harder to overcome the troubles, then maybe our futures wouldn’t be so bleak? With all the division and the destruction around us today, goes to show just how many have walked away, to take what they thought was the easy way out? Jesus walked through this journey, not to show us this division and destruction, this is on each of us within this society, Jesus walked this journey, to show us love, compassion for each other, how to get through the troubling times, to get through the storms, so we can get to the other side, the side of the light of the path of righteousness, as he brings us into his peace and joy, of the eternal world. This journey of life does not revolve around any certain one of us, it revolves around us all, and when we truly feel the love of Jesus within our hearts and souls, when we truly have the faith in Jesus Christ, we then will see the hope right in front of us, as we keep moving forward along our paths, we also will be more able to walk through any storm and get to the other side, the side of the light along the path of righteousness, that is the path Jesus showed us to get to, for the eternal life, of the world of peace and happiness always.

When those troubling times come to you, when the darkness takes away all the light, this is when we need to be at our strongest, this is when we need to stand up and fight the good fight, keep the true faith in Jesus Christ as he will help guide us, as we dig down deep within, to not just walk through the storm, but walk through with faith, that the true hope will always be there on the other side, so we than can be within the peace and joy of Jesus Christ. This journey isn’t about walking away and taking the easy route, but when we fight the good fight and overcome our troubles, then this journey will become easy for us all, as now through the faith in Jesus and ourselves, the peace and joy is right in front of us along with the hope, which then dismisses all the division and the ugliness that may be around us. Satan is the one who will place the bumps along our paths, to trip us up away from Jesus Christ, he will bring to us many temptations, that will bring nothing but darkness to us all. This is why we need to keep the faith in Jesus as well as ourselves, so we can have the true hope before us, and not the false hope of, all the divisiion and ugliness that Satan will give us, when we give in to his temptations. The decision is ours to make, we can either feel the warmth of the love of Jesus within our hearts and souls, or we can let our hearts become cold, within the world of Satan, full of division and destruction. When we truly follow Jesus as he guides us onto the path of righteousness, we will be within the eternal life of his peace and joy, but when we chose Satan, we then will be within all the division and ugliness, which then brings much pain and hurt to us all. With the true faith in Jesus and ourselves, we then can walk through the dark times, to get into the light of salvation and eternity, which then will bring to us, the peace and joy of Jesus Christ.

So the easy way out and to just walk away from your troubles, may seem like the best way? The grass is never greenest on the other side, as we need to work through our troubles, so we than can truly see the real green grass on the other side, as we become better and stronger moving forward. This is what Jesus taught us as he walked this journey with us, this is how we evolve with strength and how we move forward instead of backwards further into the darkness. We can walk away from everything that may be in front of us, but if we do not fight the good fight, we will never learn the true meaning of what Jesus taught us during his time with us. So as the Priest talks of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, he really means that, don’t just eat the bread and use the wine to chase it down, let the bread melt in your mouth, then let the blood of Christ bring it throughout your body, as you acknowledge Jesus is within you, then you can feel the true warmth of his love within your heart and soul, so with the true faith of Jesus and of yourself, now you can walk through any darkness, to get to the light of the hope in front of you, that will bring you to the eternal life of peace and joy always.

” The easy way is to never walk away and give up, to get through the troubles we must fight the good fight so this journey then becomes easy for us all”

” To walk away from the troubles we may think is easy, but we are just extending all the division and ugliness further along our paths”

” When the troubles come to us, this is Satan trying to tempt us into the darkness, we need to stand strong against him, so the darkness will give way to the light of salvation and the eternal life of Jesus Christ, for true faith and hope into his peace”

Annunciation of the Assumption

” You call me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am”

John 13:13

” Present your bodies a living sacrifice…And do not be conformed to this world ‘

Romans 12:1-2

” Love is the first requirement for mental health”

Sigmund Freud

There are a tremendous amount of messages that come to us each and every day, these messages range from T. V. Ads, newspapers, magazines, radio ads, billboards, everyday conversations just to name a few, these messages will shape our thinking, but seriously! They will all try to convince us that, the road to happiness is, paved through these kind of possesions? It may seem hard to resist these kind of messages as they are everywhere, but when we truly believe in God and his true messages for us, we will then know that, what the world calls valuable, God calls worthless. Satan will always try to bring subtle messages to us, in ways to lead us astray, but we will not be fooled, if we are filled with God’s truth.

Some may see this dirt road into the woods as just a dirt road? Thats because they have been programmed by the wrong messages, which has them see beauty in all the wrong things. Mother Natures beauty is everywhere around us, but if you become brainwashed by Satan and become conformed by the worldly messages, then you shall never see the true beauty of Mother Nature, even if she is right there in front of your face. The real beauty of Mother Nature changes all the time, especially during the different seasons, the season in this picture is fall, when the leaves show their vibrant colors, before they fall from the tree’s onto the ground, which then enters the season of Winter. The biggest problem in todays society is, we all have become conformed by all the wrong messages, as the media is working real hard to have it be this way, so we all can bow to their mysterious ways, and give up seeing all the true beauty that is around us.

Jesus Christ came and walked his journey here with us, he taught us many lessons, so we than can walk our journeys as he did, while seeing all the beauty and sharing our love with each other. But unfortunatly within this society and being so far removed from this time, we have become to conformed from the messages of Satan, which has brought a lot of ugliness to us all as well. Some have taken these messages from Satan and totally have bought into them, seeing zero true beauty anywhere around them, they think that the power, control and greed are the number one things within this world, but if you can not see any beauty around you, then this is what brings the darkness of Satan, over all our heads, without being able to see any light at the end of the tunnel. The biggest thing we are doing, as we become conformed by the wrong messages is, letting the power of Denial take control of every fiber of our being, and even worse…Letting Denial strip us from the belief in Jesus Christ. All this ugliness around us has gone way beyond anything that any society has seen, this has totally become about Good versus Evil, now I get the fact that all may seem bleak? But good will always win over evil, no matter what tatics that evil will try, only that with the thickness of the dark clouds above us all, has made it hard to see any light, to help us keep the faith and hope, in Jesus Christ our Savior alive and well, within us all.

Without Love, then we all become someone for who we are not. The power of love is within us all and when we do not acknowledge it, we then do not acknowledge Jesus Christ either. We also have taken this word love and teansformed it into ways that are not real, for instance: I love that car? now we have been conformed into something that is material and not real? Love is real and within us all, as we can feel it’s power within us, so it warms our hearts and souls, as we then take this love and share it with each other. I get that within this society of ugliness, none of us want any kind of pain and hurt to come to us as well, but sometimes we need to feel pain, so we than can feel the warmth of the love of Jesus, travel through our hearts and souls, as we stay true to who we are and see all the true beauty all around us as well.

Annunciation is to get out and announce as, assumption will keep us from any announcment, and become conformed into the world of fake messages that mean nothing to us moving forward. Jesus never brought these fake messages to us, as this is on the subtle messages of Satan, that are all around us within this society. Then we have to deal with these scams, that try to trick us into things that normally we would refuse, if these Scammer’s only could feel the love of Jesus within them, then they would never be able to do their jobs successfully. May we all come together and announce the words of Jesus Christ, instead of, becoming conformed in the assumption of Satan with all his subtle messages around us. Then just maybe we can all see the true beauty of Mother Nature, so we than can see through the fake messages around us, truly feel the love of Jesus within us all, as we move forward into the light and away from the darkness of Satan, to see the beauty of Mother Nature with each step along our paths, through this journey of life, as we become better and stronger in our own way, to see all the true beauty of Mother Nature and away from conforming into the fake messages we see daily around us.

” Go out and announce a big thank you to Mother Mary, for bringing her son Jesus to us all, as he walked his journey here with us”

” If only we get away from the negative messages of Satan, or the material things within this society, we may never see the true beauty of mother nature, nor see the true words of Jesus Christ, that are all around us”

Eat the Bread, as Life keeps flowing

” This is the bread that comes down from Heaven, so that one may eat it and not die”

Jn 6:50

” I have set before you, Life and Death….therefore choose Life”

Deuteronomy 30:19

There was once a time when NASA first started sending rockets into space, then when the rockets came back to Earth, it was a little capsule, that splashed into the ocean, as now a helicopter was sent to retreive the Astronauts and bring them back to the ship, for a safe return. This is kind of like each one of us, as we walk through this journey of life. We fly around taking on many things along the paths we choose, so as we then take that splash back into reality, a lot of us just stay treading water within the ocean of sin, we never believe that Jesus will come and save us from the sins, as we keep treading and barely keeping our heads above water.

When Jesus came back to shore with the Fishermen and much fish to feed many, there were thousands that looked at the catch of the day, as a way to fill their stomaches, nobody really looked at the catch as the Bread of Life, that goes deeper than filling your stomaches, the Bread of Life will fill your souls, so you can have longevity, throughout this journey of life.

Within todays Society, we have totally drifted so far away from Jesus Christ, that not only do we not believe, we have lost all faith in him as well. This is so sad of us all, because now when we think of the bread of life, we think of cutting out all breads from our diets, as we could do without the Carbs in our bodies. The ” Bread of Life”, is that something that feeds our souls for our spiritual needs, it is not something from the food groups, that only fills our tummies. We the people with our beliefs, thoughts and actions, are what is wrong with this society, it is we the people that can, through change, make this society great again.

Every Sunday when you go to church, the Priest sets the table on the Alter, so we all can go recieve the ” Bread of Life ‘, or better known as, ” The Body’, of Jesus Christ. Jesus is always within us and all we need to do is, acknowledge him, as he fills our hearts and souls with his love. So as we make the trip to the alter and recieve the ” Bread of Life”, we are not only putting something into our mouths and stomach, we are acknowledging Jesus Christ, so he can warm our hearts and souls with his love, so we then can be saved, from the deep waters of sin, then walk on to the shores of eternity, throughout this journey of life.

There are so many of us today who walk this journey and never realize they are creating more sins at every turn, that is fine as none of us are perfect, but when we do not acknowledge Jesus and ask for his his forgivness of our sins, this is where our society, becomes even more full of the ugliness, like we are seeing today. The ugliness around us today, comes from the giving into temptation, the giving into Satan and his evil ways, when we keep the faith in Jesus, acknowledge that he is within our hearts and souls, then the temptations of Satan, we will resist, as we now can pray and ask for him to forgive us of our sins, so we can truly feel his love deep within our hearts and souls.

The love of Jesus Christ will never fail us, it is we who will fail ourselves with our own actions. Sometimes we become focused on all the wrong things, which then leads us down the wrong paths throughout this journey. We forget that when we become out of focus, we are only not acknowledging that Jesus is within our hearts and souls, so then our hearts become cold, and even worse, our hearts become cold toward one another as well. So now as our hearts have become so cold, that for one to reach out a helping hand to another, will become extinct, as we move forward without any true feelings or emotiions, or any kind of true contact, which is what fuels the fire of eternal life.

This journey through life, really isn’t just about where you are going moving forward. It is, how did I get here and who did I hurt to get to where I am? In this society of cold hearts and those who have drifted far away from Jesus, there has become so much sin and ugliness all around us, that none of us are seeing clearly through the clouds of our judgments. There is no one asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins, so instead they are now, taking out their own sins, on all those around them. This journey has become so full of sin, that we know have lost sight of the light into the path of righteousness. The rain that falls out of the sky, is really the tears of Jesus, as he is crying for what we have become lately and have wandered so far away from him. Those tears of sadness on the face of Jesus, can turn into a bright smile, if only we get back to the true belief and trust in him, as we find the faith to have pure hope in him, so he can once again warm our hearts and souls with his love. We the people have gotten ourselves into this mess, we the people can get ourselves out of this mess as well. We need to get back to our true actions, not the fake actions of Satan, lose all these so called agendas, as they are getting us nowhere, except maybe bringing more ugliness to us all. Get back to truly feeling Jesus Christ within our hearts and souls, as the warmth of his love will keep us warm for erternity, giving all the ” Bread of Life”, to keep moving forward throughout this journey, along the path you choose.

” As the rocket splashes back into the ocean, so do we make a splash with our sins and how we ask for forgivness of them”

” The Bread of Life is within us all, when we acknowledge Jesus Christ, he will forever be within our hearts and souls, keeping us safe from all sin moving forward”
