Comfort of the soul - how much we all want it and need it. God often gives us comfort and sweet grace but He also needs our sympathy and our comfort. Jesus the Savior is still offended and hurt every single minute by all the sins committed all the time all over the world. This innocent, unconditional Love is suffering with our repeated constant rejection. Mine and your rejection and of the milliards of other similar sinners. Every time we choose the sin of hate, pride, egoism, aggression, bitterness, lust etc. we hurt ourselves, our brothers whom the sin touches directly and also indirectly but above all we hurt God who is Love. The Only True Love is hurt. Jesus Himself suffers. His pain is not bitter. He did redeem us. Still this fight between Good God and Evil Powers is taking place in human hearts, which are the true battlefields, and every time we turn to evil Jesus cries. Let us not be surprised that very often He will call souls to give Him comfort. He will call souls who will not pay evil for evil, who being humiliated and oppressed, in their great suffering will share His suffering able to win evil with good, all through His power and love.
Think of all the times when someone hurt you very badly, when someone might have been very unpleasant to you, maybe completely blind to your needs, ignorant, even aggressive with bad words. Every time you did not pay evil for evil but when you prayed for the oppressor asking God for love and healing for them Jesus let you experience a tiny mini mini fraction of what His non-stop rejected Love feels all the time. How much the rejection of the mankind hurts Him!!! Let us not only expect sweet graces. Let us be glad when Jesus shares his such a tiny fraction of the pain of Love which is rejected. How great is this God-Love !!!!!!!
 25 June My dearest hidden God!!! I know you are everywhere and I am all immersed in your holy , loving presence. Still my eyes are blind. I know you are there by faith. I know that You love me more than I can even imagine or realize. I know it all by faith . There is not much that I feel. The fire of your love is there sometimes but most of the time it is gone. I am walking through a dark valley. There is often so much pain and there are many trials I experience. I love you even more in those trials. My dear beloved daddy- how I miss you!!!!! How I want to be with You forever. I am so happy with all these moments when I sit down in the evening and pray to you telling you of my complete dependence on you, of this dark valley and my great trust in you opening my whole soul in front of you. Then I feel that in this quiet darkness there is another bottom. There You are. Quiet , patient and loving. I am happy to be resting in You and I have the feeling that You are also resting in me. Or the two of us just meet , unite-You the God of the Whole endless Universe and me - a little sinful speck that You love so much.

'When Jesus wants to make me happy, He fills my heart with that spirit which is all fire, and speaks to me about His delights; but when He wants to be consoled, He speaks to me about His pains, and invites me in a manner that is both a request and a command, to offer my body to alleviate His sufferings."
Padre Pio  16 April  "A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his Car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what do you think you're doing? "Building up a head of steam he went on. "That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" "Please, mister, please. I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do," pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car."It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay."Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child said to him.The man then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to his jaguar...a long, slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
God whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you .It's your choice :Listen to the whisper... or wait for the brick."

Be Implanted
Jesus, be implanted in my heart.
Without you I have a dying heart.
Be implanted in my heart and misery will
Be refused entry.

If our greatest need had been information,
God would have sent us an educator,
If our greatest need had been technology,
God would have sent us a scientist.
If our greatest need had been money,
God would have sent us an economist.
If our greatest need had been pleasure,
God would have sent us an entertainer.
But our greatest need was forgiveness,
So God sent us a Savior.
--Author unknown 7 April God of life and love,
your Son Jesus lived with us on this earth,
teaching, healing, feeding and comforting.
He died on a cross, an instrument of torture.
He died as a criminal forgotten by friends and family alike.
Gracious God, you raised him from the dead
and gave him a place at your right hand.
Grant to us who have died and been raised
through the waters of baptism,
a life with him in your presence forever,
in the kingdom which knows no end.
We ask this in his name, who is one with you
and the Spirit forever and ever.
Amen
Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6 April "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."
(John 3:16-18 ESV)
 1 April 
Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes; we have plenty of food to eat. Thank you for this pile of dirty, stinky laundry; we have plenty of nice clothes to wear. And I would like to thank you, Lord, for those unmade beds; they were so warm and comfortable last night. I know that many have no bed.
My thanks to you, Lord, for this bathroom, complete with all the splattered mirrors, soggy, grimy towels and dirty lavatory; they are so convenient. Thank you for this finger-smudged refrigerator that needs cleaning. It has served us faithfully for many years. It is full of cold drinks and enough leftovers for two or three meals. Thank you, Lord, for this oven that absolutely must be cleaned today; It has baked so many things over the years.
The whole family is grateful for that tall grass that needs mowing; we all enjoy the yard. My kids are healthy and able to run and play. Lord, the presence of all these chores awaiting me says You have richly blessed my family. I shall do them cheerfully and I shall do them gratefully.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden. Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, and tempers are short, my children are so loud, Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times not balanced, there are many who are hungry. Even though the routine of my job is often monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job. Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, Thank you, Lord, for life.
Addendum -- Ephesians 5:20 (GNB) "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, always give thanks for everything to God the Father."

 25 March "God can reject everything in a creature conceived in sin and of which it bears the indelible impression inherited from Adam. But He can absolutely not reject the sincere desire to love Him."
Padre Pio
 24 March
 The field of battle between God and Satan is the human soul. This is where it takes place every moment of our lives. The soul must give free access to our Lord and be completely fortified by Him with every kind of weapon. His light must illuminate it to fight the darkness of error. He must put on Jesus Christ, His truth and justice, the shield of faith, the word of God to overcome such powerful enemies. To put on Jesus Christ we must die to ourselves.
Let us humble ourselves and confess that if God were not our armor and shield, we would be pierced by all kinds of sins. That is why we must live in God by persevering in our practices, and learn to serve Him at our own expense
Our body is like a donkey that we must take a stick to, so as to subdue it, but not so much that it throws us to the ground and refuses to carry us
by Padre Pio 21 March
He loves you more than anyone else. 18 March Those souls who throw themselves into whirlpool of wordly preoccupations are poor and unfortunate. The more they love the world, the more their passions multiply; the more their desires are lit, the more they find themselves incapable of carrying out their projects, and thus uneasy, impatient, affected by that shock that breaks their hearts- those hearts that do not beat with charity and holy love. Let us pray for these unfortunate and miserable soul, that Jesus may forgive them and draw them to himself in his infinite mercy.
saint Padre Pio
 16 March
TO: EVERYONE
FROM: GOD
Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes you need to make in your life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill my promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. I know, I already gave you the 10 Commandments. Keep them. But follow these modern TEN COMMANDMENTS, also.
1.) QUIT WORRYING
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way? Get over it.
2.) PUT IT ON THE LIST
Something needs to be done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on M Y to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to me. And although my to-do-list is long, I am after all, God. I can take care of anything you put into my hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
3.) TRUST ME
Once you've given your burdens to me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials? Problems with the kids? Put them on my list. Problem with finances? Put it on my list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster? For my sake, put it on my list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
4.) LEAVE IT ALONE
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with me and forget about them. Just let me do my job.
5.) TALK TO ME
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please don't forget to talk to me - OFTEN! I love you. I want to hear your voice. I want you to include me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with me. I want to be your dearest friend.
6.) HAVE FAITH
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in me that I know what I'm doing. Trust me, you wouldn't want the view from my eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust me.
Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part. How hard can trust be?
7.) SHARE
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
8.) BE PATIENT
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes me a little longer than you expect to handle something on my to-do-list? Things occur on MY timetable, not yours. Trust in my timing, for my timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
9.) BE KIND
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for my sake. I created each of you different in some way.
It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please know I love each of your differences.
10.) LOVE YOURSELF
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only -- to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes my heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget that!
With all my heart I love you, GOD
Oh, don't forget to TALK to me.
P.S. I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!!!!

13 March I work in a school as a teacher of English. In my school we have some kids from the nearby orphanage. My heart often breaks to see how much these children suffer and how much disfunctional in most cases they are. They are often hyperactive, disobedient troublemakers who find it hard to socialise. These kids usually have their parents who, because of their strong alcoholism, have got more or less limited parential rights. These young people used to be beaten, humilated, abused and most often knew real poverty. Orphanage is slightly better for them as they have safe shelter, enough food etc but still it is no real home for them. It is one big place , where a group of equally disfunctional children is kept together and where they often learn new disfunctions from one another.
Ever since one orphan six-year-old girl from a class I teach in jumped on the table and streched her arms towards me shouting: "Mummy, mummy' and repeated that a few more times I started to think hard about it. I would wake up at night and imagine my own kids abandoned and miserable like this little girl. I had more and more sleepless nights and I knew I had to do something. God was calling me to act. I was trying to fight with this thought as I have four kids of my own and it all seemed pretty crazy. But then I realized that when I die one day and look back on my life I will regret not having taken any action. Well, I could of course accumulate more money and goods or spend the money God is blessing me with by sharing it with one or two more kids regulary.
So having talked to my husband we agreed to invite some kids at weekends to our place regulary. When I went to the orphanange to talk about it with one of the therapists there and to find out about the procedure she said that for some time she had been looking for some 'friend family' for two kids, all in vain. And now when she almost lost hope there I was asking for kids. She called me an angel sent by God. (lol)It was just a few days before Christmas. We got two kids ,a brother (7) and a sister (10), the boy being one of the worst troublemakers in the whole orphanange. They have come to my place many times now. They have slept overnight several nights and now come here regulary every Friday to stay for the weekend. Although my hands are really full of work I am so happy to know these kids feel so good here and look forward to their next time in our home. The boy has not become an angel yet (just joking) but I can see an enormous change in him. I will tell you more about it all soon.
Please pray for us.

I ASKED FOR STRENGTH
I asked for Strength...
And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.
I asked for Wisdom...
And God gave me Problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity...
And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.
I asked for Courage...
And God gave me Danger to overcome.
I asked for Love...
And God gave me troubled people to help.
I asked for Favors...
and God gave me Opportunities.
I got nothing I wanted...
But I received everything I needed.
A prayer by an American Confederate soldier seriously disabled in the Civil War:
Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm on your face, the rain fall softly on your fields;
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand
 28 February
If we collected all the love that the entire world could ever give to us that still would be only a speck compared to God's endless love.Oh, botomless, infinite Love of God that we move in every single minute of our lives, although we may often not realise it, we have our beginning in you and in you there is our destination. You are the only hope for us in this land of exile. How I miss You the Only Love!!!!
 25 February I can do no good at all without Him and I can do all the good with His help. This good goes far beyond me and my weak natures often disbelieves it and fears it . But still, by faith ,I know it is actually the Lord who takes the action. I am just an empty vessel -left on its own it is good for nothing. However, He can do all the good He wishes to do through me if only I open up for Him. The empty useless vessel becomes filled up with the Living Water. Jesus power is enormous.
12 February A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
It is in the ordinary duties and labors of life that the Christian can and should develop his spiritual union with God.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
We do not exist for ourselves.
We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen.
There must be a time of day when the man who makes plans forgets his plans, and acts as if he had no plans at all.
There must be a time of day when the man who has to speak falls very silent. And his mind forms no more propositions, and he asks himself: Did they have a meaning?There must be a time when the man of prayer goes to pray as if it were the first time in his life he had ever prayed; when the man of resolutions puts his resolutions aside as if they had all been broken, and he learns a different wisdom: distinguishing the sun from the moon, the stars from the darkness, the sea from the dry land, and the night sky from the shoulder of a hill. 8 February 
St. Anselm's prayer
O Lord my God,
teach my heart this day where and how to see You,
where and how to find You.
You have made me and remade me,
and You have bestowed on me
all the good things I possess,
and still I do not know You.
I have not yet done that
for which I was made.
Teach me to seek You,
for I cannot seek You
unless You teach me,
or find You
unless You show Yourself to me.
Let me seek You in my desire,
Let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by loving You,
Let me love You when I find You.
St Patric's prayer
Christ with Me, Christ before Me
Christ to protect me today
against poison, against burning,
against drowning, against wounding,
so that there may come abundance of reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Govern Everything by Your Wisdom by St. Teresa of Avila
Govern everything by Your wisdom, O Lord,
so that my soul may always be serving You
in the way You will
and not as I choose.
Let me die to myself so that I may serve You;
let me live to You who are life itself. Amen
St. Augustine's prayer
O Lord, the house of my soul is narrow; enlarge it that you may enter in.
It is ruinous, O repair it! It displeases your sight; I confess it, I know.
But who shall cleanse it, or to whom shall I cry but unto you?
Cleanse me from my secret faults, O Lord, and spare your servant from strange sins.
St John of Damascus prayer
Hold dominion of my heart
Keep it as your inheritance.
Make your dwelling in me,
Along with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Widen in me the cords of your tabernacle,
Even the operations of your Most Holy Spirit.
For you are my God, and I will praise you,
together with the Eternal Father,
And our quickening Spirit,
Now, henceforth and forever.
Amen.
