Cor mundum crea inme, Deus
[Create in me a clean heart oh God]
Who do YOU say I am?
[Matt 16:13-23]
Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you.
God wrote it on our hearts (Holy Spirit) – [Jer 31:31-34]
Get behind me satan, you are an obstacle to me.
You are thinking NOT as God, but as human beings do.
Christ gave Peter his name.
The devil wanted to use Peter to discourage, so He had to rebuke.
When the Church is attacked, the devil wants to scatter the flock.
We need to pray for one another and our leaders,
especially those with weaker faith.

Who sows bountifully will reap bountifully.
Be a cheerful giver.
He who hates his life in this world,
will preserve it for eternal life.
Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
It remains just grain.
But if it dies, it produces much fruit.
[John 12:24-26]
Where I am, there also will my servant be.
To be a Christian is to be reborn of God.
If we had a strong faith, a living faith,
if we were bold in making Christ known to others,
we would see with our own eyes miracles
such as those that took place in the time of the Apostles.
Everything comes from God and is directed towards Him.
The action of the Holy Spirit can pass unnoticed
because God does not reveal to us His plans
and because man’s sin clouds over the divine gifts.
But faith reminds us that God is always acting.
He has created us and maintains us in existence,
and He leads all creation by His grace toward
the glorious freedom of the children of God.
The attitude we should adopt to the Holy Spirit is docility.
Be aware of the work of the Holy Spirit.

We are on a journey.
Remember and savor the journey.
Jesus gives us food for the journey.
His flesh is living bread.

We are with a great crowd of witnesses.
We can easily become hardened critics and become blind to truth.
Lord, keep our minds pure and away from evil
so we have the gift of discernment
in ALL things spiritual and physical.
Lord, I pray this in Jesus Name. Amen.
Pray before any work.
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hears of the faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of thy love.
Send forth thy Spirit
and they shall be created.
And thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Oh God, who has taught the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that by the gift of the same Spirit
we may be always truly wise
and ever rejoice in His consolations,
through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
