..Pray For Us Sinners, Now, And At The Hour Of Our Death.

We are sinners. Blind. Sinners generally take things for granted and dont often know the extent or consequence of their deeds. Only through our being brought to a new enlightenement do we see our extreme sinfulness , and this brings me to the hour of death,the hour of ultimate enlightenement, an hour of denial or despair, an hour that could only be passed through by grace alone, that which we beg Mary of is the summit of either our avarice or despondency,and this is our judgement:being hard hearted (pride) or giving up (fear).When confronted with our incapacity to help ourselves, faced with our humanity and the extreme depth of our ills, when all we did, or didnt do, or neglected or ignored are brought right into our face, and we are faced with such great confusion and despair, then, the capacity to let go and trust in the redeeming power of His mercy is our salvation. This instance in which we are brought to face the truth of our humanity and our consequent resolve not to deny nor despair- this moment of truth- lies in the hand of the Blessed Virgin.

My Paradigm Mover

I'd wanted a Yoruba for a wife, but i became increasingly passionate for a non Yoruba. I planned being a successful Engineer, but i get sickened each day by crafts and became so zealous after social and behavioural sciences.I loved to go safe and thread carefully, but now i'm weird and fired up about taking risks and getting things done.Somebody is at work, melting and moulding me.Who is He destroying my preconcieved ideas and giving me a taste according to His?

Wikileaks : What You'll Not Be Told!

1)You dont need 'holiness' to go to heaven; on the contrary , you need your sinfulness. You only need to strive for perfection and become acutely aware of your incapacity to be perfect. Glory in your weakness please!
2)You need not be holy to go to communion, you only need the awareness of His presence and trust in His mercy.
3)Why the scrupples about not having paid your tithes. Tithing has no negative consequence , but charity does!
4)There is no place in this world that should actually be out of bound for a christian, the whole world is ours , and we have been commissioned to go out there to conquer it. Difficult? yes. Out of bound? absolutely no!
5) Practice anything in the quest and journey towards the Absolute Truth.'ism' is important, but dont stop at the level of it, wether catholism or pentecostalism or islamism or budhism or protestantism.On the contrary , love the movement, love 'ity'.
Love christianity, love universality!
6)Be equally yoked with unbelievers, if not they'll be lost. The cost -i agree- is difficult, but it's the reason we are christians: witnessing!
7)Life is good, enjoy it, but do good!
8)Eucharist is an increasingly 'tightening' experience. With faith and constancy. Nothing is reduced by our sins.
9) Who tells you not to love the world? Love the world. Christ Himself loved the world, that was why He died for her.
10)The greatest exorcism is confession, and how i long for the time when we shall be ready to form the 'Society of Sinners'!
11)Death is not an escape from your earthly responsibilities, nothing changes when we die.
12) Love lasts. Your interests , desires and affections goes on till eternity, make effort then to purify them.
13)Immorality militates against one thing only : our vision and awareness, lack of vision is the only sin, and when we live continously in the city without withdrawing into rural seclusions, we stand a higher risk of loosing this awareness.Too much unnecessary distractions in the city.
14) We humans are nothing, whatever we feel we are capable of are being controlled by the spirits, and ultimately by God, we should devote ourselves more to the spiritual life.
15)Sustainability and taking care of our environments is a spiritual act, because in Him we live and move and have our being. Christ has become bread, even all man made things are Christ!
