Open Letter of faith from a believer in Christ.

The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the Apostles bore witness to the Resurrection of the LORD Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. Acts 4:33

“Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:7-8

Acts 4:32-37, Psalm 93 & John 3:7-15

Today I’m going to share a response to an adult child of a mother who asked, “Why does God allow cancer to infect friends but especially mothers who are good people?” My answer was as follows: Please know I was very disheartened to learn about your mom’s illness and I pray for her daily.  When I learned I was shocked to hear and I asked God to heal her.  I continue to pray for her safe healing daily and it is my hope she is doing better.  You ask a very important question that mankind has contemplated since the beginning of time.  I don’t have a holier than thou answer I just have faith in a compassionate God Who I have seen heal people before my very eyes.

From cancers to addictions, our God can and will do anything you ask of Him but as most people learn on His on time.  Free will causes some painful things when Satan grabs a soul.  I’m not saying that Satan caused your mom’s illness.  I’m saying his aim is to cause havoc in the world and by looking around you can see for yourself that he has done just that.  Faith is about the expecting of what is to come.  I know through reading the Bible that a Heaven awaits those who believe in the love and Sacrifice of Jesus Christ who paid everyone’s debt by dying on a Cross for the sins of the world.  That is my faith.

I am a Catholic who believes prayer is the most powerful tool just as your Abuela.  Ask her why your mom got sick, more importantly, ask your Abuela why she was healed.  The LORD will test the faith of those who believe as well as non-believers.  I offer my life to Him and live by His Will, good or bad and I will until the day I die.  I am encouraged by your request because it made me think all day about a God who’s in control of all things.  I pray you come to know our LORD (as your Abuela is as well) and I hope you continue to ask the tough questions that only God can answer.  May the peace and love of Jesus Christ walk with you always. The Abuela (grandmother in Spanish) was a true Catholic of faith who passed away last week of cancer. She is at peace in God’s Will. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to always live as strong believers in Your Son Christ Jesus. Praying for David suffering from burns. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day three of a Novena for Russ Thoms and his daughter Serenity. LORD from Psalm 27:12-13 I chant: ”Do not abandon me to the desire of my foes; malicious and lying witnesses have risen against me. I believe I shall see the LORD’s goodness in the land of the living.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Surrender to “His Kingdom” on earth so the faith we live shines by our prayer.

First He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in.” These are offered according to the law. Then He says, “Behold, I come to do Your Will.” He takes away the first to establish the second. By this “Will,” we have been consecrated through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all.  Hebrews 10:8-10

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you shall Name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the LORD God will give Him the throne of David his father, and He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end.” Luke 1:30-33

Isaiah 7:10-14, Psalm 40, Hebrews 10:4-10 & Luke 1:26-38

Walking in the Truth is accomplished by living in God’s Word forthcoming in daily practice seeking not your own will but the complete surrender to the Will of God is how we must mimic the life of Christ. I feel sometimes we forget how human Jesus is fulfilling the consecration by the offering of His Body and Blood as the Sacrifice for sin once and for all. Human in fear. Human by bleeding. Human by dying. Jesus warned His Disciples to pray they don’t undergo the test He was humanly scared of but Divine in all aspects to accomplish.

“When He arrived at the place He said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.” After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, He prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from Me; still, not My Will but Yours be done.” And to strengthen Him an angel from heaven appeared to Him. He was in such agony and He prayed so fervently that His sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.” Luke 22:40-44

We are just as scared to completely give our lives over to God in some areas being frightful of losing this or that. There are the little regions you keep hidden of your life where you think God won’t notice because you are so devout in other areas of your lives God that will give you a pass. The sin offering for us is Resurrected by the Life Christ lived in God’s Will experiencing anxiety as we do in everyday lives, scourging that would have obviously killed any ordinary man and death by the most horrendous of deaths by suffocation nailed to a Cross.

He was human and Divine living a mystery we can never truly fathom or understand. If only surrender to “His Kingdom” on earth so the faith we live shines by the prayer we trust to His Father’s Will, we’d control our deepest fears by professing Christ as our Savior and walking as an inmate described in Kairos yesterday where people “See the Bible in me.” My poem below reflects his statement. Do people see the Bible in you?

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live for Your Will by our life dedicated to Your Son Jesus. Praying for my friend’s grandson David suffering from burns needing grafting. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day two of a Novena for Russ Thoms and his daughter Serinity. LORD from Psalm 13:6 I chant: ”I trust in Your mercy. Grant my heart joy in your Salvation, I will sing to the LORD, for He has dealt bountifully with me!” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Kairos Prison Ministry- God’s Special Time

Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The Disciples rejoiced when they saw the LORD. [Jesus] said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so I send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20: 19c-23

Acts 5:12-16, Psalm 118, Revelation 1:9-19 & John 20:19-31

The witness of watching Jesus transform a soul to surrender by confessing with his lips Jesus is LORD and resides in the heart of another allows me to see Jesus stand in the “midst” of the craving souls of those incarcerated seeking peace amongst the confusion of wrong mistakes of selfish desires. Our Kairos weekend concludes today but God’s Special Time is now realized more than ever that it is every moment of every day responding with gladness, goodness and gains to call hearts and souls to action with Christ’s love. I kept hearing the word “fellowship” being repeated over-and-over again allowing tears of joy to flow and walls to tear down.

Here, we learn the real meaning of not judging another for any portion of their human existence. My poem reflects today the meaning of Kairos by each letter of God’s Special Time. You’ll see the “K” “A” “I” “R” “O” and “S” become “Kingdom of Angels Inviting the Redeemed to Ongoing Surrender of Christ’s Truth.” The Truth of faith, hope and love living for charity void of judgment. We must allow judgment to be handed down by the Truth we’ll meet when we breathe in Eternity’s Last Breath. Please join me in prayer for these craving souls as well as the needs of people mourning, the sick and dying and the lost, lonely and languished. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live knowing the Holy Spirit is the air we breathe as Christ’s Truth drives our every desire. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for David Generozzo. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. We pray for the grandmother of my children, Sonia Salgado, who went to be with our God of Truth. She was a devout soul who resides in the hands of Jesus now whose memories I will always cherish. Novena begins for Russ Thoms and his daughter Serinity. LORD from Psalm 77:15-16a I chant- ”You are the God who does wonders; among the peoples You have revealed Your might. With Your Mighty Arm You redeemed Your people.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Proclaim the “Gospel to every creature” not ashamed but in love with His Truth.

Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus. Acts 4:13

After this He appeared in another form to two of them walking along on their way to the country. They returned and told the others; but they did not believe them either. [But] later, as the eleven were at table, He appeared to them and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they had not believed those who saw Him after He had been raised. He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:12-15

Acts 4:13-21, Psalm 118 & Mark 16:9-15

The boldness of God injects your soul with such power obviously controlled by the Holy Spirit seeping God-given thoughts, emotions and sounds encouraging man and women alike to acts on God’s Word. It is the “high” people of faith receive in the surrender of being obedient to God’s Word. You feel it when you awake and fall exhaustively asleep because you live it in your life as the health, honor and hunger of God’s Will. We share it as the humility we live in by the desire of faith, hope and love it causes us to act on to accomplish God’s Charity as God’s Pure Health. We experience the health of a sound soul in Christ’s Salvation of belief pursuing knowledge by the Grace of God’s Will.

I’m okay being recognized as a Disciple of Jesus for in His honor I faithfully proclaim the “Gospel of Good News to every creature” I see. Not ashamed but in love with His Truth. As I have sat and listened to men forbidden by mistakes to roam freely in society yesterday, I have come to witness a beautiful hunger not for freedom from barbed wire but the freedom of their spirit to know Christ in their mind, in their heart and in their soul to establish the life God intends for each of us in His Will by His Harmony. Kairos or “God’s Special Time” lends to sharing the health, honor and hunger God instills in men and women aching for forgiveness. Please pray for us as day three begins. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live amazed by the Truth we live in Your Word. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for David Generozzo. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 21:14 I chant- ”Arise, LORD, in your Power! We will sing and chant the praise of Your might.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

The Cornerstone is not rejected but relished to find Salvation.

“He is ‘the stone rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.’ There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.” Observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving them to be uneducated, ordinary men, they were amazed, and they recognized them as the companions of Jesus. Acts 4:11-13

Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered Him, “No.” So He said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. John 21:5-6

Acts 4:1-12, Psalm 118 & John 21:1-14

The rejection of the Cornerstone was God’s Divine Will for humanity unable to perform any other objectives by the force of selfishness, self-centeredness and self-righteous decisions made every day by men and women of haste. Oh sure, long ago women had no say in the disdain people had for Truth opting for excess of flesh and desires of the heart but society has grown into the Will God Ordained from the beginning of time allowing True equality to be met by the Force of Truth’s Divinity. This rejection continues today growing to enormous numbers steadily eroding the foundation of proper praise to the Author of Life.

We must continue the process of TRUE evangelization to anyone, anytime and anywhere sustaining the foundation by the backs of humanity’s saved living the Truth instilled by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I relish the joy of proclaiming to those who are lost or misguided even behind the walls of barbed wire and steel twenty-foot fences. We began such a trip yesterday in a maximum correction institution encountering a group of 40 men craving to find God’s love to overcome the life of wrong decisions.

They repent openly and find desires to be the “best Christian man” they can be learning what they became best at was hiding the Truth amongst the hidden desires of the heart. Please pray for our weekend as we begin today the process of sharing Christ’s love instilling the forgiveness of sins nailed to the Cross made from a tree. Here, the Cornerstone is not rejected but relished to find sincerity, Salvation and success by the surrender of your own will. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we never reject Your Cornerstone. Amen! Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day nine of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life. LORD from Psalm 7:2-3 I chant- ”LORD my God, in you I trusted; save me; rescue me from all who pursue me, Lest someone maul me like a lion, tear my soul apart with no one to deliver.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Subjected to His Will whether we accept Christ’s Death for the forgiveness of sins or not.

You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. The Author of Life you put to death, but God raised Him from the dead; of this we are witnesses. And by faith in His Name, this man, whom you see and know, His Name has made strong, and the faith that comes through it has given Him this perfect health, in the presence of all of you. Acts 3:14-16

He said to them, “These are My Words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And He said to them, “Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the Third Day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. Luke 24: 44-47

Acts 3:11-26, Psalm 8 & Luke 24:35-48

The acts of society assuredly take on the persona of selfishness throughout history when we believe as a society someone or something is the answer to all our woes, worries and wonders that we deny the Truth until after the fact of death and demise come into play of our own surroundings as much by association as by the ethnic group we align with out of fear and stupidity. This has been evident in history from people forcing ideas, idiosyncrasies and injuries upon a people because of race, religion and rosters of mankind who do not form the same opinion, outlook and overtures they create.

This astrocyte has been taking place since the beginning of time evident in the events of the Roman Empire to the German Reich as well as the ethic cleansing occurring in small countries across Africa, South America and Russia, the world of greed and power at first were thought of something good when it went against the Truth of God’s Commands. God has asked us all to love one another as ourselves seeking what is right in compassion, calm and courage to live in His State of Harmony.

God, “The Author of Life,” created people out of love to serve the common good of faith, hope, love and charity granting forgiveness from the beginning of time knowing He would have to send Himself to die and rise as proof once and for all that passion, peace and purpose are good things to be lived in Truth. We are all subjected to His Will whether we accept His Son’s Death for the forgiveness of sins or not when we live out our will in greed, envy and lust. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we never deny Your Son as the Messiah You sent to heal the world. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day eight of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life.

Romans 8:28

Forgiveness of sins is the only Truth to know– Luke 24:35-48

Two men recounted the path

Jerusalem to Emmaus to grasp

Christ along the way we’d gasp

Not recognizing Him at first to last

He was the Messiah opening our eyes

First to the Scriptures we’d learn to confide

Our hearts burning inside never to deny

Seeing Him upon breaking bread to supply

As they described the Truth of His sight

He stood amongst them bright as a Light

Peace be with you He said in delight

Scaring them as a ghost brought up to fight

Be troubled not my anointed friends

Let no questions arise of who to defend

My hands and feet are scarred to win

Salvation you can touch to truly comprehend

Displaying His hands and feet scarred

They all let out their joy nothing barred

Incredulous for joy amazed by far

As He ate some fish He asked for to start

Every Word I used before

Had to be fulfilled not ignored

Our Father would even the score

The Law of Moses opens heavens’ door

He opened their mind to the Prophets call

The Psalms and Scripture filling them all

As it was written the Christ would suffer and fall

Rising on the Third Day to share forgiveness so tall

Every nation beginning in Jerusalem you will bestow

The Gospel of Truth you will proclaim to grow

As the witnesses to preach the Love of Christ to Sow

Salvation for the world who repents to show

Forgiveness of sins is the only Truth to know

Your Walk to Emmaus will release your fear by the freedom the finality of Truth.

Peter said, “I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, [rise and] walk.” Acts 3:6

And He said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into His glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them what referred to Him in all the Scriptures. Luke 24:25-27

Acts 3:1-10, Psalm 105 & Luke 24:13-35

The Road to Emmaus seems quiet to me lost amongst the countryside of Jerusalem captivating the heart with hope of Resurrection’s Truth. It’s not lined with gold or silver but the freshness of nature leaving one eager to share the Legitimacy of faith, hope and love of Christ’s Core of Charity. The Walk to Emmaus is the Teacher’s stroll with His students amongst the setting of fear, freedom and finality that eases the stress of not knowing what to do or how to handle the future by displaying allegiance to the surrender of Christ’s Redemption. These men were fearful for their lives just as we are amongst the ravenous wolves of secular’s desire for flesh, pride and greed.

We are asked over-and-over again by the conscious that beats in humanity’s heart why its enticing colors of flash and flair dominate our soul’s desires without any solution being adhered to God’s Truth? We are captivated by the freedom of Salvation yet lured to the excess of fleshes dominance in our surroundings of filth. The Disciples discovered His freedom when they recognized Him by Himthe fire in their heart illuminating His Face of Salvation. What a glorious gift they received from Author of life allowing humanity absolute attestation to His appearance after His Resurrection.

The finality of what seemed to happen in Christ’s death became the awakening each Disciple took to fuel their run back to find “at once” the men gathered in the Upper Room still trembling with vulnerability. Your Walk to Emmaus will release your fear by the freedom the finality of Truth awakens in your soul. Be not slow of heart to believe but practice, pray and preach to conceive. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to not be slow of heart to believe all the Prophets said of Your Son Christ Jesus. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day seven of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life.

Romans 8:28

Jesus Christ is Risen He is Risen Indeed– Luke 24:13-35

First day after the Messiah’s unbearable death

Residents walked north, south, east and west

Two Disciples walked downcast to their nest

In Emmaus seven miles from Jerusalem’s best

Conversing and debating the events

Jesus Himself came along in an instant

Recognizing not the Christ they missed It

The Teaching that made us sinless

Jesus searched their souls in discussion

Stopping the two looked with submission

Cleopas asking where was His condition

Taking place amongst the Jews fruition

How Jesus the Nazorean had to die

Making the people wale outside

Each in the tears of humanity’s cry

The Pharisees insisted on living a lie

He was mighty they said in Word and Deed

Nothing compared to His Truth to concede

Love and Healing came from His Blood to bleed

The death of sin in mankind’s obnoxious need

Crucified the hope we had to believe

He would redeem Israel to conceive

The Third Day brought vision’s need

Women found the tomb empty indeed

His Body is gone but Angels announced

Christ was alive your spirits will pounce

On His Salvation declared sin denounced

Foolish hearts He said each and every ounce

Explaining the suffering was necessary

To enter the beauty of His glory

Each Prophet was then explained in story

Beginning with Moses filled with amore

For God and His Commandments fixture

Written by His Father in Sacred Scripture

Allowing insight of His majesty’s nature

Forgiveness of sins filled Divine paper

Emmaus they arrived as the day was over

Seven miles of talking to God’s Anointed

Inviting Him in without appointment

Agreeing breaking the bread gave their eyes ointment

The blessing He said cleared their fear

His broken body finally appeared

Recognizing Him in their tears

Vanishing from their sight hearts afire sneer

They felt the burning of their hearts need

The sin relieved from living in the darkness greed

Returning to Jerusalem to relay their journey’s deed

Recounting the Emmaus Road from the varying degree

Jesus Christ is Risen He is Risen Indeed

Sharing His Word in the practice, prayer and proclamation your life represents.

Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the LORD our God will call. Acts 2:38-39

Acts 2:36-41, Psalm 33 & John 20:11-18

The Promise is made to you and your children that you too can receive the gift the Holy Spirit by repenting and believing in the Name of Jesus Christ. This goes for any of you reading or listening to my study as the gift has no boundaries or requirements except to follow His guidelines to live in Eternal Life. The Eternal Life of patience, persistence and purpose where your every deliberation, desire and discernment rests not on your own destiny but the vocation God intends for the gift He has given you to accomplish His Divine Will of faith, hope and love of charity.

There is only One Way to live forever and that’s by your desire to live for good and not evil, others and not self and love not hate for even in the depths of evil’s grip where decisions were made from lusting thoughts of flesh, pride and greed can you too be forgiven and find Truth your every guide. Start by the practice you place in your daily guide of reading your Bible with eagerness being open to the Holy Spirit’s supervision and you’ll discover something new each time you read His Word. Start praying over everything you do from the time you open your eyes in the morning to the moment you lay your head in His arms to rest at night. Place His Truth at the very decisions, desires and determinations sharing His Word in the proclamation your life represents. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live the Promise of Eternal Life by our practice, prayer and preaching. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day six of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life. LORD from Psalm 63:2 I chant; ” O God, you are my God—it is you I seek! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, In a land parched, lifeless, and without water.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

To overcome the pain they bore

Baptize yourself and be made clean

By repenting of your sins

The Holy Spirit your guide pristine

Your children and all lands

Will inherit the Promise of Truth

Not matter how far off the peoples

Seeing Jesus after His death on a Cross must have been a shocking ordeal but He simply says, “Do not be afraid” just as the Angel announced to the two Marys’ as they witnessed the empty tomb and the Angel for “his appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow.” Jesus reminds us time-and-time again not to be afraid of anything life offers to the person of God who is surrendered to His Way of living obedient to walking in His Word.

Here, you will find the feeling of liberation to Trust in God’s Only Son as the One and Only Savior to wipe our offenses absolutely clean giving way to a sense of calm your life has always meant to be. Find in every aspect of your life the Truth God asks us to live in love not libations that cloud our memory and confuses our soul. When Jesus says, “Do not be afraid,” He is reminding us of His Omnipotence that cannot be wavered or pushed aside by ANYTHING this world can throw at us. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today our Trust in You allows us to never be afraid. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day five of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life. LORD from Psalm 29:11 I chant; ”May the LORD give might to His people; may the LORD bless His people with peace!” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

Do Not Be Afraid I am with You and Pretty– Matthew 28:8-15

The Two Marys’ went to see

The Tomb of Christ and believe

He is Risen the Angel in white decreed

Overjoyed yet fearful as He appeared

As they ran away from the tomb

Thoughts of mercy overcame their doom

Jesus greeted them in one big boom

Falling to His feet joy replaced their gloom

Jesus told them to not be afraid of He

Tell My brothers I’ll see them in Galilee

By the sea where all will see Me

The Truth of My Resurrection to agree

As they left the guards went into the city

Reported to the chief priests and elders their pity

We will say His Disciples stole Him thinking they were witty

The story of many Jews reported was gritty

Do Not Be Afraid I am with You and Pretty

Jesus Christ has Risen by the Father of Truth.

They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree. This man God raised (on) the Third Day and granted that He be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that He is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins through His Name. Acts 10:39b-43

Our Paschal Lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. First Corinthians 5:7b-8

Acts 10:34-43, Psalm 118, First Corinthians 5:6-8 & John 20:1-9

There will come a time when Jesus Himself will open the Scriptures to you just as He did the Disciples after the two from Emmaus come running back to tell of His appearance to the others and how they became to recognize Him in the breaking of the bread. Today you are offered the same opportunity to recognize the Risen LORD on the day we celebrate His Resurrection by partaking in the Breaking of the Bread allowing His Light to radiate in all directions from you and others partaking with you. This gift you will find being carried throughout your life by the commitment to practice, pray and proclaim the Good News in rejoicing how He ALSO is recognized by you in the partaking of this Christ-desired/ordered Eucharistic Celebration beginning to see Scripture as the prayer God intended our life to be. Amen!

Here, you will find the emptiness of malice and the judgment of wickedness leaving you in breaths of sincerity whereabouts you are enveloped in Truth in every step you take. Once Jesus has Risen in you, you will rise with Jesus in your heart and soul living every breath by the faith you place in practice of His Word, by the hope you place in the everlasting prayer your life becomes and by the proclamation of Christ’s Risen Love in charity of thoughts becoming words living in deeds. You’ll find His graces when you least expect by this obedience to praising Him with anyone, anywhere and anytime. Maybe this is by yourself mowing the lawn singing or humming some Gospel tune while foraging for food in a local grocery store, God has Risen His Son in your heart to praise Him continuously. The other day as I push mowed my lawn I was singing as usual praising God when the song’s message was to get down on my knees with hands raised high when the Spirit struck me with righteousness forcing me down on my knees as my hand raised in praise above my head with my eyes closed. Two more steps in front of me a coconut palm arm (what the coconuts grow on) dropped as I let out a Halleluiah! Graces beyond the scope of living comes from a God Who raised His Son for the forgiveness of sins and the welling up of charity by faith, hope and love of obedience to His Truth. Allow Him to be raised in You too. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today in thanksgiving for You allowing Your Son to be raised after His sacrifice for our sins. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day four of a Novena for Peter John and his wife Joy to find work and trust God will work His grace in their life. LORD from Psalm 133:3 I chant; ”Like dew of Hermon coming down upon the mountains of Zion. There the LORD has decreed a blessing, life for evermore!” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

Jesus Christ has Risen by the Father of Truth– John 20:1-9

Sunday after His time

The Resurrection kind

Mary of Magdala did find

Open tomb her sublime

She ran to get Simon Peter

Another Disciple did greet her

All loved by Jesus the Teacher

The LORD is gone as fear beseeched her

No one knows where He has been put

As they all ran back to the tomb quickly by foot

The faster disciple outran Peter who shook

Upon entering the tomb to find burial clothes in a nook

The other Disciple went in the tomb too

The one who arrived first but was glued

He believed by sight if his heart was untrue

Scripture not understood of Rising amused

Jesus Christ has Risen by the Father of Truth
