Part II

It seems if we read long enough there are so many rules that it would be moronic to say we all lived by every rule and were correct to the letter of what Jesus set before us as rules. But this is the whole point we can't do it all correctly so we must rely on the mercy as well as the graces of our Lord's love. As it is stated in the Bible how the body does what we do not want it to do and does not do what it should. So we are all given to sin on occasion and we all slip.fall and slide away. We have free will given to us by God that sometimes keeps us in line or when we make a poorer judgement even if it is made with the best of intentions. The key is that God is with us everywhere we are never alone and we have the wonderful Mass of reconciliation to give us new starts with Jesus.
     The mercy and graces from Jesus is endless and beyond our ability to understand let alone explain. The only way not to receive these gifts is to turn your back and deny God or the Holy spirit or Christ himself. Even then as the prodigal son when he comes to himself he seeks to return. So we have to wonder what do we have to do to get the "gold ring we seek". Remember ST. Padre Pio and St. Therese "little flower" neither of them travelled any appreciable mileage from their home areas. Neither had millions to house and feed the poor, nor they people of many words. God had never demanded these things from them. So what did they do so different. They first were totally committed to Christ, they prayed at all time and whatever they were asked to do it was done with humility and quietly so no man could bring them praise. They lived simply and not with the many distractions today "television game systems PS3 etc, MP3 players and such, It is no matter that we cannot devote a day let alone a hour to spend in prayer and worship. But we can set down a time for prayer and mediation to God our Father. Even a hour a day is better than nothing before God.
     As stated earlier we swing for the bleachers trying to always to hit that home run so we can let the world see out actions without us having to say a word. However while we do this it is easily spotted as a pride that screams look what I did. So what to do ? We are shown by both St. Padre Pio and ST. Therese they had three thing Total concentration,constant prayer and the (what I call the little way) you see somebody without a coat, give it to them,see somebody hungry share your food, and if you see somebody thirsty, give then water. By doing the small things God will increase all things and in his time slowly increase your role in your mission assigned by God for you.

Until later God Bless
