According to your faith, so you will receive. Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, if he repents, forgive him; if he sins against you seven times in the day, turns to you seven times, and says, `I repent,’ you must forgive him.

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth

Faith that Moves Mountains

 

According to your faith, so you will receive.

 

As you live your life invigorated by the breath of God, the conflicts of this earth will be overcome by heaven’s power: and whatever you allocate on earth will be that which is in accordance to heaven’s plan.

 

Do not be afraid any longer, but believe. Everything is possible to the one who believes.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble, I stand at a cross roads, committed to overcome the ways under the sun; but uncertain as to which path to take. I seek and look for the narrow path but need Your help. O that You would bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, keep me from evil, and from causing pain. Continue to teach me how to forget as soon as I forgive, and to only look to You through Jesus in the Spirit for my daily bread, and expect, seek and ask nothing from those under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The love of worldly possessions is a sort of bird line, which entangles the soul, and prevents it flying to God.

— St. Augustine

Titus 1:1-9
Psalm 24:1-6

3  Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully. 5  He will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of his salvation. 6  Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Luke 17:1-6

1  And he said to his disciples, "Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come!  2  It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. 

3  Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him;  4  and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, and says, `I repent,’ you must forgive him."  5  The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"  6  And the Lord said, "If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, `Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

The Pontiff in Winter: Triumph and Conflict in the Reign of John Paul II By John Cornwell Narrated by John Lee – Pope John Paul II is one of the most famous and influential political figures of the world. Now, best-selling author and journalist John Cornwell has written an accessible and provocative portrait of this highly charged figure, focusing primarily on the last five years and the major world events, and scandals within the Church that have impacted the papacy. The result is a thoughtful assessment of John Paul II’s legacy to the Church. In an age when many people see the Catholic Church as an institution in crisis, Cornwell raises the level of debate by posing difficult questions; chief among them is the effectiveness of a system that grants lifetime power to an individual vulnerable to the vicissitudes of aging and illness.
