Everyday, as I grow in knowledge, love for God, spirituality, and ubove all love for the world and its people, I glare down at the peoples vocation they have chosen, let it be, marriage, religious life, working at a resturant for a living, education, etc... there is one thing I see in common in all of them, "Suffering." And a desire to escape and feel that goodness. I KNOW what they feel like, there isnt any type of suffering that I havent been through, i.e. losses of loved ones, major family problems, money, guilt, drunk/arrested running away family members, cops at our doors, threats of child custody, very bad illnesses, fighting, swearing, liars, blame-ness, and so on.
Yet God loves me! I cant even imagine how much! He loves me! And HE LOVES YOU, no matter what you have been through how bad/worse/worsen things have been in your life HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! And what we should do in return, is love Him back, how hard would that be? Thats as simple as moving your finger. I was reading a book called "Amata Means Beloved" by Sister Mary Catharine Perry O.P. The best book I ever read in my entire life and I stopped right in the middle of the page, and kept on re-reading this paragraph that really SOLVED everything, it goes like this:
"Ring the bells that still can ring,
forget your perfect offering,
there is a crack in everything,
thats how the light gets in."
Maybe I'm going overboard posting a ton of religious things on this blog, but what else do you expect from me? A message on Michael Jackson? Paul Senior of Orange County Choppers? Viva La Bam? No...No...No...maybe one day. Like that last day before I go through with my vocation, but in THIS TIME (No other time) When our world is worse then it has EVER been before, you need important things.
God bless you all!
