Through the Grace of God we find what Life means to the Poor in our community.
Within the depth of the Heart of Christ will we discover his love from all Eternity
There may never be enough written regarding how much this Sacred Heart has bled far beyond the sword that revealed what John called the Eucharist of the Church. (Jn 19: 34).
When the Blessed Mother told me to ask for Wisdom during a Miraculous Medal Novena prayer I never realized just what that request would have upon my life. It is through the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that opened my eyes far beyond what my vision would ever view. It is here that we must see just what Wisdom connected to his Heart will open the closed eyes of holiness for each of us to reach inside his eternal divinity.
With Wisdom comes the reality that the Suffering Christ went through before and during his Passion was necessary for our redemption. That same wisdom that confronts each of us is the same element that opens the door to eternal bliss; and it is necessary for each of us to follow the path Christ set before us.
But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead; and their passing away was thought an affliction and their going from us, utter destruction. Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love: Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with his elect. But the wicked shall receive a punishment to match their thoughts, since they neglected justice and forsook the Lord. For he who despises wisdom and instruction is doomed. Vain is their hope, fruitless are their labors, and worthless are their works. Their wives are foolish and their children wicked; accursed is their brood. (Wis 3: 1 - 3, 9 - 12).
Finding the true wisdom that comes only through the Creator’s Knowledge in the beginning of human understanding is the truth that places our decision to follow what is given to us or to fail in our belief of what Christ did for us on the Cross at Calvary. This is Truth and that is Wisdom.
As all,of us remembered the fallen heroes of our past wars, the thoughts of martyrdom stands before our nation and as Christ took his armor, his cross, and walked to the line of battle to win our salvation by falling a hero, so each of us must also be ready at any moment to stand for the rights of our fellow Christians and if called fall with the flag of righteousness.
This is wisdom and the grace of almighty God will never turn from our task of standing for the souls of our brothers and sisters who carry the Heart of Christ into battle; the fight for sanctity of each one.
