Jan 23, 2008 Eucharist: The Summit of Life!

Romans 11:36
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory for ever. Amen.

"If the Eucharist is Jesus and Jesus is God, then reality all of it, not just the "religious" bits is ultimately eucharistic. We, like the Eucharist, shall be like Jesus taken, blessed, broken, and given. It's the direction all reality is heading sooner or later. The question is not whether we will go that way. The question is how: willingly or unwillingly?
The great systems of evil and injustice from Nazism to Stalin to Radical Islam to American hedonism are, in the end, organized in order to avoid making that eucharistic choice to face death for the sake of love.
The ways in which the eucharistic self-offering is refused are different. But the refusal is monotonously the same.
Conversely, to say yes and make that self-offering in Christ is to enter into the really glorious diversity of the communion of saints and find the point of one's life in a way that is glorious. We discover, in Christ, the meaning of all things, including our own lives, when we give our life away to Him".

Just a Word of Encouragement from Mark Shea and Jeff Cavins.

The - DOOR...

"... Some readers complain my messages are too depressing, constantly asking you to look at your garbage.

The reason for this is, the only way to get to heaven, is to go through hell first.

Kabbalah isn't about feeling better.

That's temporary.

It's about changing our spiritual DNA.

It's about getting down into the core of our problems. Any medical, emotional, financial disturbances we are now experiencing stems from a core issue we have come to this world to fix.

Naturally it's not easy.

It means going through a door inside we don't know exists.

It requires digging and pushing through the dark to find that door. It can feel claustrophobic, dark, eerie. But when we find that door - and break it open - on the other side is our personal heaven.

Today, take a risk and open your heart to a trusted friend. Tell them things about yourself you've never dared tell anyone before. Make yourself vulnerable and allow the Light to rest on those darkened parts of your consciousness where your door is hiding.

...woooowwww....

January 15th...

TUESDAY, JANUARY 15

"If you want to know what your life looks like, look at your thoughts. If you don't like what you see, then change the way you think about life.

Most of us are stuck in thoughts of fear, disappointment, anger, and regret. We recycle the same stinkin' thinkin' again and again and again. It feels so suffocating after awhile, doesn't it?

Today, air your mind out. Open the window and let the breeze come through. Stick your head out. (See those people over there? They are potential new friends. Go talk to them. See that Help Wanted sign? That’s your new career. Walk in and submit an application.) Allow new, happy, optimistic thoughts to take over for a change".
