Adoration and an Act of Faith

St. Catherine of Siena and St. Dominic, Order of Preachers

There are essential graces that come with an Act of Adoration to the Triune God and this is the manifestation of Holy and Divine Silence.

Silence and the Mind delivers the ACT of FAITH from false forms of witnessing the distinction between the ostentatious act of presumption to the humility of the personal effort of depending on the Creator of the Universe and of your heart.

God is Faithful.

Christian Realism vs. Psychotic Neurosis

"Here, once again, we encounter that Christian realism which rejects nothing that exists. Reality, in its mysterious and irreducible complexity, is the bearer of existential meaning, with all its lights and shadows. Thus, the Apostle Paul can say: “We know that all things work together for good, for those who love God” (Rom 8:28). To which Saint Augustine adds, “even that which is called evil (etiam illud quod malum dicitur)”.[19] In this greater perspective, faith gives meaning to every event, however happy or sad."  Apostolic Letter Patris Corde of the Holy Father Francis

There is Fear of the Lord and there is Fear of being rejected or Fear of seeing the truth.  When it comes to Christianity there is a FACE of SUFFERING and this is the REALITY of the CRUCIFIXION and the merits of Christ given from a GENEROUS CREATOR who made the living alive for GRACE in a SHARE OF THE DIVINE LIFE of HIS SON!

The American condition of facing fear has developed into forms of communication on the psychology and mental state of seeing suffering.  Trauma, Post-traumatic Stress, Depression, Bipolar Mood Disorder are terms of which, I have encountered from a serious medical enhancement of Behavioral Health and not Christian.  There are forms of which, Science and Neorological and Psychiatric endeavors of study and research on the Brain continue this effort of discussing the essence of understanding the behavior and anxiety of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.  The Spirit of the Person and Ontological discussion of Christianity has enveloped an ideal of meeting this professional standpoint of dialogue with great regard to the efforts of Science and Medical Health Prognosis on the Human Dignity of Persons and their Body.

FAITH AND REASON

1. When defining a Communal Reflection of witness to the public and private life of social and religious work of authority, is the disposition educated and instructed?
2. Transmission of Faith is not academic.  Instruction and formation of moral and significant realities of the value of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have a reality of basis and condition distinct to the Authority of Law and Order.  Are there dependencies on a person for Faith and Reason to take its course at a natural grace of living?  Is this dependency enforcement or an interruption to the life of natural grace performed with no disruption and invasion of the reflection that comes with a free act of the will?

What is a Heritage and How does this Heritage define American?

Blackbird Fly by Erin Entrada Kelly, Author featured for Asian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Alhambra Library, California

"Her blond hair was piled on top of her head in a clip, and her eyes were round and blue.  Very American.  'If you needed a ride, I would have been happy to pick you up.'"  Blackbird Fly by Erin Entrada Kelly

Now, when a heritage is proclaimed by a formed person who has the innate relationship of finding a heritage proclaimed does this heritage become a significant distinct contained reality amidst other heritages that have been pronounced through a social atmosphere of living amidst a world of differences and conditions of background and social living?  Would you find this author significantly seeing themselves an outsider from an American standpoint?  or Would you find this author speaking for a country still defining the American?

A Community of Believers - The Sound of a Parish

CCC #2179 "A parish is a definite community of the Christian faithful established on a stable basis within a particular church; the pastoral care of the parish is entrusted to a pastor as its own shepherd under the authority of the diocesan bishop."¹¹⁵ It is the place where all the faithful can be gathered together for the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist. the parish initiates the Christian people into the ordinary expression of the liturgical life: it gathers them together in this celebration; it teaches Christ's saving doctrine; it practices the charity of the Lord in good works and brotherly love:

You cannot pray at home as at church, where there is a great multitude, where exclamations are cried out to God as from one great heart, and where there is something more: the union of minds, the accord of souls, the bond of charity, the prayers of the priests.^{116"  Catechism of the Catholic Church}

It has been a serious depiction of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and I have found my HEART settled in loving only the poor and the poor are the ones who KNOW GOD!

I loved how my Cathedral in San Bernardino, California loved me.

The Economic Value of a Good - Product and Service

Today, I found myself eating something very rare at resistance and this is at a resistance because I have no bank account, but I do have food stamps.  And when you hear this accented in an American Democracy of Government Aid and Republican, you will find it rare to find someone with food stamps utilizing it for Caviar.  Now, why is it unwell of a person to utilize food stamps to purchase fresh oysters and caviar?  Or is it well of a person to know how to utilize the food stamp with this diet selection?

There is an economic reflection on the quality of my decisions and this is at the response of service and how did I end up seeking the assistance of government aide for the utilization of food stamps to feed and nourish my corporal body?

There is a value in my decisions and this is at the knowledge of being at the right condition of meeting a standard of dignity in my decisions in food.  How I decide to spend my time and my accumulated account of food stamps for government assistance.  These decisions come with a background and a knowledge and how I have always seen the value of a penny.

How do you provide service?

How is my Master of Arts in Education at a value of service in comparison to all other persons with the same Master of Arts degree?

How did my decision on utilization of my daily income for the work I performed in comparison to the teacher who received a tenured position with a contract and no assurance but the contract?

What I did was not a contract.  What I performed was a relationship.

This is the quality of my service.

What is a High School Reunion?

Life presents a decision and what history and past memories provide is an initial gaze of what the future still has arising.  Reunions offer a consideration towards what there is still to look forward to in the past memories and the recovering decisions towards a future willing to live and move forward.

FORWARD!

Reunion means people have moved forward.

1. In recalling the persons from your past, what are the new personal endeavors at present that have caused a building stone of learning delivered for a new foundation of hope?
2. What are the decisions of the present to offer a past experience as a semblance of guidance for and of new decisions?

9. How does a reunion conclude any assumptions from the past?  How does a reunion answer questions from the past?
10. Develop a scenario for each reunion you are offered as a serious decision of moving forward.  Encounter each person at a realia of meeting with a preeminent conversation with this person.  What would the reunion present as a serious conclusion from the past to an introduction to the present?  Tell yourself how your person is not the same person from the last scene to the present scene since this person has come into your presence.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Examination of Conscience, The Bond of Marriage

Catechism of the Catholic Church

Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament and this intimate time with our Lord offers an EXAMINATION on my life and the very purpose of my life and the decision to LOVE amidst cruelty.

There is a healing remedy in GOD and this is HIS HEART!

HIS HEART marries a VIRGIN!

First Love, The Vigil Project

As the Synod of Cardinals and Bishops find themselves at a dubia, the CANON LAW of CELIBACY will most indefinitely find an ACCURACY OF HEART to HEART personal reflections on the validity of annulment process for the person and the newness of life this comes forth in the healing of hearts.  What I will perform in this examination of the CONSCIENCE OF BRIDE and BRIDEGROOM is the decision to ENTER INTO THE CONSUMMATION of MARRIAGE!

There is a BOND between MAN and WOMAN!

This BOND is consummated through an ACTUAL ACTION of female and male anatomy of bodily contact with the right disposition of consent of the will freely given and with the reflection of sober and conscientious of the ACT of INTERCOURSE!  The BOND is indefinite at a corporal existence and what is ANNULLED?

When performing an EXAMINATION on the intentions and the insufficient reflection of a MARITAL BOND of SACRAMENT are the PRIESTS and BISHOPS signifying a serious dependency to clarify what makes the SACRAMENT valid towards annulment?

There is the BOND of CHARITY and what is examined is the state of grace of man and woman in offering the CHURCH the witness of their FAITH to be SACRAMENT of MARRIAGE!

What is the FAITH and the state of grace of these two persons?

To seek SACRAMENT there is a legal degree of determining the ACTUAL GRACE already evident; and thus, SANCTIFICATION of SACRAMENT will take its course.

Are these persons in the state of grace?

Language, Body Odor, Communication of Health and Well-being perform a serious dimension of this examination of GRACE in a PERSON.

Money is not GRACE!

GRACE is an ACTION OF GOD in these two persons.  THE ACT OF FAITH at its reality; and thus, the SIGN OF BAPTISM is performed towards the SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE!
