83.Thursday : Obey the voice of the LORD : Take up your Cross daily

Deuteronomy 30:15-20 

6The LORD, your God, will circumcise your hearts* and the hearts of your descendants,f so that you will love the LORD, your God, with your whole heart and your whole being, in order that you may live.

9Then the LORD, your God, will generously increase your undertakings, the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil;h for the LORD, your God, will again take delight in your prosperity, just as he took delight in your ancestors’, 

10because you will obey the voice of the LORD, your God, keeping the commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the law, when you return to the LORD, your God, with your whole heart and your whole being.

15See, I have today set before you life and good, death and evil.

16 If you obey the commandments of the LORD, your God, which I am giving you today, loving the LORD, your God, and walking in his ways, and keeping his commandments, statutes and ordinances, you will live and grow numerous, and the LORD, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.k 

17l If, however, your heart turns away and you do not obey, but are led astray and bow down to other gods and serve them, 

18I tell you today that you will certainly perish; you will not have a long life on the land which you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. 

19I call heaven and earth today to witness against you:m I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, 

20by loving the LORD, your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a long life for you to live on the land which the LORD swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them.n

 

Luke 9:22-25

23Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily* and follow me.n

7Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”

42.Friday after Epiphany

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...

66.Monday - 4th Week: Refining the Chosen- Purgation : Memory : Seeds-Magnet

Through purgation, the  Chosen  is free from the Salary of Fear of Death  The Rosary is a powerful habit loop that connects the spiritual and physical realms. It enables the spiritual realm to awaken the soul and humble the heart, causing a flow of grace that maintains a state of grace. As the physical realm receives this grace, it is expressed naturally through actions. Thus, grace becomes a blessing, and the person becomes a blessing. A person in a state of grace is in higher consciousness and, by connecting with Grace, experiences the reverential effect of fear of God. This connection nourishes seeds of virtue to grow. These virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, kindness, patience, and humility. A person in a sinful state is in lower consciousness and connects with the dreadful effect of the fear of God. This connection nourishes seeds of Vice . Vices are greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. The the fear of God in the heart ge...
