Though we have no control over any present national and global state of affairs in our respective countries, we do have a spiritual calling to be vigilant in our prayers to Our Lord and Savior.
God’s call for many us to earnestly pray, fast abstain for Peace is louder that it has ever been before.
Through the continual uniting of past,
present, and
future prayers and
acts of reparation and compassion, we are called to lift them all to Praise and Thank Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, being conduits open to God moving Him to bring about Peace on Earth our hearts long to see.
Let me be clear, it is not by our actions we are saved, but by our willingness to choose to say “Yes!” To follow Him through our actions, in reparation for all the sins done and will be done.
God is just and sin requires reparation. Without it we live in chaos. Just take a look around.
Can anyone imagine how it would be if we did not give our children consequences for their actions? Oh wait, again just look around.
Yes, Jesus died so “that” sin “may” be forgiven, but being a Just God, we still bear the responsibility to repair the rift we caused when we chose to turn away from him. He did not take the punishment due to that sin away.
Clearly, Jesus alone gave us the ability to be saved through is Sacrifice for all, but everything is about our Free Will to choose to be saved for Eternal Life.
But we are not called to sit back and be bumps on a log waiting for death eternal life without repairing our daily failings. “I’m sorry!” Is a good start but making a mense, we know repairs the damage.
Jesus said “Come and follow me!”
It is through reparation, we choose Him over ourselves moment by moment, being Christlike, living out the Beatitudes a living testament of our commitment to His Love, bringing His Love and His Peace to the place right where we stand. It is His Sacrifice and His Love that motivates us, His Sacrifice that pours through everything we think, say, and do, and refrain from thinking, saying or doing,
BUT this can only happen when we allow ourselves to
Know Him,
Love Him and
Serve Him through
Prayer,
Fasting,
And abstaining from that which keeps us apart from Him.
When we freely choose to open our hearts to Jesus, we become a portal for Him to flow through. Peace has another avenue to flow out from just like a river as many streams.
This is Free Will. We have the choice to be part of the solution.
The YouTube link I have shared below is about bringing awareness of what and how continued High Tariffs could affect us wherever we live.
The content provider of the link below is a very wise and frugal woman, who dares to research and share her findings about how we might move forward with our family’s best interest at heart by preparing wisely and frugally for the months ahead.
She has helped and continues to help may plan for;
what we can do without if needed as well as
prepare for what we may need to gather.
When we move to worship Him, as we never have before and honor His Beloved Blessed Mother, who He gave to us all as Our Heavenly Mother as He was dying at the foot of the Cross, we will also be given the Gifts and Fruits of His Holy Spirit, and especially the Gifts of Discernment, Strength, Fortitude, Patience, Love, Understanding, Peace and so very much more a direction that points to our path in our hour of need.
There is nothing wrong with planning and preparing for the present moment, one meal for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
Our Lord calls us to do so many times, even as broken as all national governments are, they have been telling us the same thing for years.
We have witnessed time and again that it’s the neighbors around us who come to our aid first, when a disaster strikes.
Our governments have shown us time and again, they do not have resources nor our best interest at heart, but it’s our neighbors, who are present for the long hall.
We are called to prepare as our means allow, but to prepare nonetheless.
However, it DOES NOT begin with stocking shelves with whatever we can get our hands on.
Preparation begins, by answering His Call to draw closer to Him.
It is a yearning in our hearts, and an even deeper desire to open up our very souls to His overwhelming unconditional Love.
When dare to heed God’s call to prepare, we cannot help ourselves to fall on our knees in supplication.
We die to self and our human selfish desires, we are Grace of Humility to ask for His Guidance and for His Divine Mercy and Grace to be poured into us. It is there Peace begins and fear begins to be absorbed by His all-encompassing, everlasting, enough for everyone kind of Love.
As a Child of God, and a Handmaid or Servant for His Greater Glory there is NEVER a need to worry or fear.
Prudence and Understanding and Discernment are Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit that are given to us to help decipher when Foresight is presented, affording us blessings to be given the TIME to calmly access information, cancelling out fear and the sting of hindsight.
