Oração de Santo Inácio

Tomai, Senhor, e recebei

Toda a minha liberdade, a minha memória também.

O meu entendimento e toda a minha vontade

Tudo o que tenho e possuo, vós me destes com amor.

Todos os dons que me destes, com gratidão vos devolvo

Disponde deles, Senhor, segundo a vossa vontade.

Dai-me somente, o vosso amor, vossa graçaIsto me basta, nada mais quero pedir.

Alma de Cristo

Alma de Cristo, santificai-me.

Corpo de Cristo, salvai-me.

Sangue de Cristo, inebriai-me.

Água do lado de Cristo, lavai-me.

Paixão de Cristo, confortai-me.Ó bom Jesus, ouvi-me.

Dentro de vossas chagas, escondei-me.

Não permitais que eu me afaste de vós.

Do espírito maligno, defendei-me.

Na hora da minha morte, chamai-me e

mandai-me ir para vóspara que, com os vossos santos,

vos louve por todos os séculos dos séculos.

Amém.

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that all who believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the

Ever since God first called humans into being and placed them on the earth, he has tried to communicate to us why he put us here, how we should live on earth, and what will become of us after we pass from this life. His message to us has always been the same, and it has never been hard to understand. He created us for love. He put us here to teach us how to love. The time we spend on earth has no other purpose than to grow in love. And when our time here is over, we will be called home to our Father's house to abide with him in love forever.

God loves us so much that, when he could no longer bear to see us lost in darkness and despair, he sent his beloved Son into the world to save us. God himself became man, he embodied his love in human form, to communicate his message of love in a way that everyone could understand, in a way that could not be mistaken. Jesus came into the world bearing God's final offer of love. He is God's final answer to the meaning of human life.

Jesus' message to the world is that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life. He showed by his own life that God's love is all we really need, that God can in fact be trusted, that God's love overcomes everything we fear, even death. All we have to do is believe in him. But what does it mean to believe in Jesus? It does not mean merely to invoke his name, or join a following, or accept a set of doctrines. Important as these may be, they will not lead to eternal life. To believe in Jesus means to be reborn in his Spirit, to become a new person, to view the world in an entirely new way. It means to become his disciple, to no longer live for myself, or worry about my needs, or pursue my own interests, but to make him the Lord of my life. To believe in him means to acknowledge that love is worth the risk, in fact it is worth risking everything for, because it is the only way to become fully human, to realize the purpose for which we were created, and to enter eternal life.

God is LOVE for me for you and for all of us.....................

ELE ESTA PRESENTE

A minha vida esta bem protegida na mão de Deus.

Ele que me ama e me cuida em cada momento.

Ele diz, "Eu chamo te pelo nome, tu és minha, permanecei no meu AMOR.

EU te AMO E te PROTEGE

PEGADAS NA AREIA...............

Certa noite, sonhei que estava na praiacom o Senhor, e, através dos céus,passaram cenas de minha vida.Para cada ano que passava eramdeixadas dois pares de pegadas na areia,um era o meu e o outro do Senhor.Quando a última cena da minha vida passoudiante de nós olhei para trás e notei que,muitas vezes no caminho de minha vida,havia apenas um par de pegadas.

Notei também que isso só acontecia nosmomentos mais difíceis do meu viver,isso aborreceu-me e pergunteientão ao Senhor:- Senhor! Tu me deixaste… Por quê?Se um dia me disseste que eu resolvi teseguir que tu andarias sempre comigo.Mas notei que durante as minhas maioresaflições, havia na areia do caminhoda minha vida, apenas um par de pegadas.Não entendo porque nas horas maisdifíceis de minha vida tu me deixaste.O senhor me respondeu:- Meu precioso filho, Eu te amo ejamais te deixaria nos momentosdas suas provações e do teu sofrimento.Quando viste na areia apenas um par depegadas, foi porque exatamente aí,“Eu te carreguei nos braços.”

PEGADAS NA AREIA

- Minha preciosa filha,
Eu te amo e jamais te deixaria nos momentos das suas provações e do teu sofrimento.
Quando viste na areia apenas um par depegadas, foi porque exatamente aí,
“Eu te carreguei nos braços.”

Total Surrender

Blessed Virgin Mary, Most Holy Mother, guide my soul, accompany me in this spiritual adventure towards the Light. Towards the essence of the Holy Trinity. Holy, Holy, Holy God, listen to my call. I knock on Your door, Your Son Jesus Christ, that door where You are right behind; where Your Light shines so brightly that my fragile human eyes cannot perceive it.

I then detach myself from my body, from my senses and from my conscience, so that I can talk to You and mobilize myself directly with my soul. I leave behind all material things, all that identifies itself with me and with the world. I am the heart of my soul that has enlightened with the fire of Your Divine Love, that as a fertilized flower, has become Your fruit: The Spirit. Lord, I speak to You with my spirit, I adore You infinitely, with all the mysterious strength that You have poured over me. My words are needless, I am now an offering of Divine Love that You have placed on the earth and that is coming back to You, acknowledging Your Grandeur, Your Mercy and Your Wisdom.

Behind, there stays the dust, the world, and my ego. I am nothing. All that there is left of me is consciousness that You exist, that You are Who You Are and I am nothing, because, even this awareness of my own existence, is that flame of Divinity that You placed hidden in my heart, which is your property, but that right now has become Light, and It does not find joy in the darkness of isolated existence and it feels attracted by the magnetism of Your Omnipotent Presence. I open my heart completely to Your Majesty. The same way Christ on the Cross surrendered for us, I surrender now to You my God. I am nothing. Because You are the One Who gives me Life, You sustain it, You are my sacred refuge, You are my company, You are the Spirit that guides me and You are Who waits for me at the end of this terrestrial journey; this little adventure that is insignificant in the Eternity of Your Existence.

My God, You are marvelous, only through the joy of my soul can I express my Love to You. You have made me happy when my tears of joy have expressed my spiritual emotions. If this fire of Love has become Light, and You are the Light, then Lord, this little ray of light proclaims You and wants to kiss that infinite Celestial Sun that You Are: my origin. Lord, I feel Your Divine Presence and Your Light shines on my soul. Most Holy Trinity, anoint me with Your Holy Spirit, fill me with Your Love, and embrace me with the serenity of Your Peace, through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Allow me to lose my individuality in You, to penetrate profoundly in Your Infinite Being. Allow me to be One with You. Lord, Live in me always, grow in me, support me with Your Strength, do not forsake me. Take command of all my actions, manifest Your Presence through Your servant, who lives in You, for You, through You and always with You.

Protect me Lord; make me a fort, impenetrable by sin; make me a soldier, apostle and bearer of Your Divine Word. Make me fill the hearts of my brothers with this zeal, this fervour, this spirit of Love that You have gifted me with, make me a bearer of Your Light, to vanish darkness and to prepare the terrain for Your Kingdom. Not my will, but Yours be done.
