Wednesday - 2nd Week of Advent.

Comprehending the governance  Sanctifying grace is Christ’s Peace.

O bless the Lord, my soul!. Reflection, Wednesday of the Second Week of Advent.

Matthew Chapter 11 Verses 28 to 30:   Jesus said to the crowds: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

Two Forces are ruling the Physical and Spiritual realm either grace(God, light)  or evil (Satan, darkness).

There are two kinds of grace. Sanctifying Grace (God's indwelling life that transforms the soul, received in Baptism) and Actual Grace (temporary, specific helps or nudges from God to do good or avoid evil, preparing us for or sustaining sanctifying grace). 

Catholic life is subject to the baptismal covenant, that is, Christ's yoke or sanctifying. grace. Sanctifying grace plays a crucial role in the daily activities of a Catholic.  Only two forces are ruling the realm, either grace or evil forces. Catholics are under the governance of grace. Grace reigns through righteousness to union with Christ. Peace of Christ and happiness to only those who comprehend the works of sanctifying grace.

There are 3 Basic Stages to to receive Him, ushering in God's kingdom. 

Rosary is the effective tool to comprehend the works of sanctifying grace in the daily life of Catholics.

Comprehending the governance of  Sanctifying grace in the day to day activities of Catholic life is peace and happiness.

Baptism reestablish relation with God, through Jesus. Baptism connects the individual to Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Christ put his seal upon us and given the Spirit in our hearts as a first installment. Baptism grants access to sanctifying grace. 

Sanctifying grace allows the Holy Spirit to dwell within the soul, making the baptized person a new creation in Christ, an adopted child of God, and an heir of heaven.

sanctifying grace makes a person holy and pleasing to God by dwelling within the soul. It's a permanent state of grace that transforms the individual, allowing them to participate in God's divine life and act according to his will.

Catholic  has to live  a life aligned with sanctifying grace, growing in faith, and striving for holiness to union with Christ. Baptism initiates this process, providing the grace and spiritual resources necessary for this journey. The struggle against concupiscence becomes a central part of this ongoing spiritual battle.

Isaiah Chapter 40 : 31:  

They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength,
they will soar as with eagles' wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
 
 
Alleluia, alleluia.
Behold, the Lord comes to save his people;
blessed are those prepared to meet him.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Purgation while alive is the only way to avoid purgatory fire. 1 John 5:5  Who is the victor over the world but the one who believes that  Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:9  If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. 1 John 5: 10  Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. Victory over the world is attained through faith in Jesus. This faith develops by relying on the testimony that God has provided about His Son. This testimony is presented in various forms, both internally and externally. Regardless of individual beliefs, everyone has access to this evidence, ensuring that all individuals have a sense of accountability. John 16:7   I will send Spirit of truth to you.  8  And he will convict t...

1 John 4:11-18 15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God , God remains in him and he in God.  16 God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.  18 There is no fear in love , but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.  Mark 6:45-52 46 And when he had taken leave of them, he went off to the mountain to pray.   49  But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out.  52 They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened. Acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God.  Acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God involves experiencing His power. This necessitates recognizing the encounters with Jesus that take place in everyone's life.  A hardened heart cannot comprehend the encounter with Jesus, similar to the events of the loaves and walking on sea.
