FELIZES OS QUE AMAM O SENHOR

Felizes os que dão um rosto a Jesus, espalhando o seu amor no mundo
Felizes os que dão as mãos a Jesus, fazendo bem aos irmãos
Felizes os que dão a boca a Jesus, defendendo os pobres
Felizes os que dão os olhos a Jesus, olhando com bondade os irmãos
Felizes os que dão os ouvidos a Jesus, fazendo escutando quem precisa que o ouçam
Felizes os que dão o coração a Jesus, fazendo do amor a lei da sua vida
Felizes os que dão os pés a Jesus, indo ao encontro de quem vive só
Felizes os que reflectem na sua vida a beleza e a santidade de Jesus Cristo

Gloria ao Pai……………….Amem

Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is near. (Matthew 3:1-12)

John the Baptist came before me to prepare the people of Israel for the coming of the Messiah. Those who listened to him repented, confessed their sins and were baptized. They anticipated my coming with great respect and delight; they were willing to amend their lives in order to start anew in communion with me their God. How wonderful it was for them to accept the kingdom of Heaven in their hearts; let me tell you Heaven rejoiced for their conversion.

I started my public ministry by humbling myself before John the Baptist and accepting the waters of baptism. By this action I blessed this sacrament as the cleansing ritual that purifies souls from original sin. I sanctified the waters of baptism so that anyone who believes in me and is baptized will enter in communion with me as a member of my mystical body. In baptism all sins are forgiven and through this initiation into Christian living the soul is committed to learn from me and to live by my example.

I have made it very simple. Repent, turn away from sin, live by my gospel and your life will take a new meaning; you will live no longer for yourself, but for me your creator. I am inviting everyone to my Kingdom, I refuse no one, all that I ask is that you accept my purification, I have already paid for your sins, you have no debt to pay, I have overcome all the enemies of man: sin, the devil and death. I am your victorious King; I have opened the gates to my Kingdom because I love everyone. Come and be blessed.

To have a true conversion the soul must experience deep sorrow for sin, this means to feel fear of God the Almighty who has been offended. Conversion is a continuous process, which starts with a decision to come into a personal and intimate relationship with me. I facilitate this with the assistance of my Holy Spirit so that you may have a voice in your conscience to inspire you to do good and to stay away from evil. By the fruits of your conversion you begin to build up a solid intimacy with me, which can be enhanced by your prayers and devotions. The closer you come to me the more intense will be your desire to live for me. I will respond by granting you peace in your heart and an ardent desire to do everything in my presence. Through me, with me, and in me, you will be victorious.

God created the Heavens and the earth...

Everything has a purpose in life.

God created the Heavens and the earth to show us His Magnificence,

His Power and Majesty and to draw our attention to Him the Creator,

not to His Creation.

Unfortunately we neglect God,

turn away from His Presence

and live most of our lives for ourselves only [2 Chronicles 29:6].

He is Love...

It is as if by declaring the holiness of God, we can also become holy.

If we put our hands in water, we get wet; if we put them in fire we get burned, if we are in darkness and we come to the light, we can see. So if we come before the Presence of God in Praise and Worship, God reflects His Glory upon our souls and we experience a tremendous Peace in our hearts, we feel the joy of knowing that God is responding to our Love and we satisfy the yearning of our souls. As we come to God in our emptiness, He will replenish us with His riches, as we come to Him in our darkness, He will bathe us in His Light, as we come to Him in our sinfulness, He will cover us with His Grace.

We never come back from God empty handed because He is Love and Love is continuously burning like a fire [ Hebrews 12:29] reaching out with its flames of purity and perfection.
Blessed are those who put their trust in the Lord [Jeremiah 17:7]

Bless me, O Lord

Heavenly Father, Almighty God.
I humble myself before your Presence.
What a joy it is to come to you.
I thank you and I praise for your infinite Majesty,
Omnipotence and Perfections.
Please forgive me all my sins.

I want to worship you and adore you,
to love you with all my heart,
with all my mind,
with all my soul and with all my strength.
I want to burn with desire for you like an angel.
I need you my Lord,
I am nothing without you.
I ask you to raise me before your Glory
.Shine your light upon me,
allow me to walk with you
and always do your Holy Will ,
protect me and bless me O Merciful Lord.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit,
grant me peace, love and joy.
Heal me,
bless me and sanctify me O Lord;
make me a blessing for all those around me.
Amen.
