New Annual Paschal Auto-biographical pg 2
You
see all around me I see people suffering financially; physically, emotionally,
mentally and whether they realize it or not, spiritually, as they follow the
lie, this, that, or the other thing will improve upon their lives, or the way
the world is now. They believe some other religion or plan, perhaps lack of
religion or some regime or lack of such, will set them free, or bring a bit of
joy into their lives: but it doesn’t, or it doesn’t last for long, or there are
not very noticeable improvements to the way we live; without Christ, and our
Church, or non at all. There is only one Way.
Epiphany – Did the Lord give me a family? Yes, a wife and a daughter was
granted us. Did we have opportunity for a job, for travel, for a house and a
vehicle? Yes, all these things and more. Eventually, if not at first, we were
richly blessed both materially, and spiritually, in which lies our true
happiness. I can spend hours just being thankful; before the Blessed Sacrament,
in our Chapel of Adoration. It was here I first believed in the Real Presence
of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the form of Bread, in Exposition. I’ve
only good memories now and could peacefully make plans for good. 9th
Jan. ’19 I wish my wife and daughter would start to practice the Catholic
faith. I almost wish I had become a priest. I don’t know when I’ll receive last
rites, but I’m satisfied now, in the Way. I would that all I’ve even known
would know the Way. All the material blessings I’d gladly trade if all who’ve
known me would be more blessed spiritually. In what lies our true happiness: to
know You, Jesus. Let me know Your love Jesus. Make me see You care for me. Show
me the Way to You, Lord. Set me from my care, free. May I share with my world
Christ. Will my life in You be? Amen.
10th Jan. ’19 For unless we have You Lord in the picture, as
we turn down every different avenue of life: childhood, school, fledgling, on
our own, romance, family, work, retirement, volunteering, what have you; like
people want to have a picture in their desk top, or cell phone, and be connected,
or stay connected to the internet, I want You Lord in the picture. I want You
in my life at every turn, every intersection, on every highway and byway, every
path I take on my pilgrimage. Then we’re not born into a world of grief and
death is not woe, but more of You Jesus all the Way long. I want You in the
picture, in focus, with maximum definition. Amen.
The
Baptism ’19 We have many turning points in life. Certainly our Baptism is the
most definitive. The Covenant is the blood pact: between God and Noah, Abraham,
Jacob; Jonathon and David, Jesus and us. We are baptised into the family of God
and put on Christ, like Jonathon and David exchanged robes. The Father promised
to protect Adam’s progeny, and Christ’s, like they exchanged armaments. They
exchanged belts and blood. The Spirit will remain with us, and guide us, as we
choose directions, humble ourselves, in contrition, experience Conversion, and
accept a new life, the new Covenant, in Blood. We are the Body and in the
Blood, of Christ: we are in Communion – we have a new name, Christian. 16th
Jan. ’19 Back to the Chapel. There; there are some blessed moments. Here, where
the Lord presides. In silence, listen to the Word, of torrents, now, when a
flood of good betides. And we can forever sit before the God, sent into the
world to save. No, kneel in the Holy Presence. Adore the Deliver, of His
goodness rave. He has raged against the demons. In Him, a new Covenant is made.
We ourselves can do nothing. For by the Blood, our ransom’s paid. Holy Bread
came down from Heaven, Eucharist, our priceless Peace, we must bow before You
in our monstrance. May our praise never cease, for only You set us free.
Merciful and just to us sinners, thankful for Your grace and mercy, ever always
worship be.

New Years ’18-’19 Be thankful for the unimaginable grace of God – unfathomable for all times
2nd Jan. The Christian Way is not known in this part of town. There is not a merry soul who doesn’t wear a frown. A few believers keep faith sure, but the general consensus is Jesus is not the Holy Name; but used liberally in cusses. I’ve come to learn from a Sr. and from Fr., from a Church in another neighbourhood, of a Holy Life, a better life: that my life might be good. To be Baptised, is to be born anew; to be Confirmed, to be filled with Fire. My aim is not to please myself, but please others is my desire. Now this involves a Conversion, which evolves from the Sacraments, and specifically the one of Conversion. My ownership for my past life is monitored by a priest. They administer the others as well, first as Jesus, and as his apostolic Church, has instructed. It is a no brainer. Jesus is the Bread that sustains us in the development of better living, supported by Conversion. My family noted a dramatic change in me. I noticed not only my will to live has been strengthened; joy of life I had as a child is returning. My frown has turned upside down. A spark turns into a fanned flame. You see where this is going. Holy Name of Jesus - When I was a boy and still feared the Lord, nobody put sports ahead of the Lord’s Day worship. No one went shopping on that Day of Rest. Of all the other six, Sunday was the best. To You, merciful Father, with confidence we plea, for forgiveness for my generation, and that we see things put right. I’m so sorry for how I’ve let You down. I was bad seven days a week. Teach me Holy Spirit, to be one who’s meek. To put the Triune God before all other gods, I must put God before all this World lauds. Might I still honour my folks, they always honoured You, and put the world right again, by all I say and do. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton pray for us. Why, oh why wont the world turn to Christ? Why did I take so long? Why did I be so stubborn and proud? Why miss the mark if we no longer enjoy being wrong? But this is the way of the World. Going to Hell in a handbag we used to say. It was my way or the highway, I now say with tears. No longer, no regrets, now that I know the Way. Yes, Christ is the answer to waywardness. I thought I’d found Jesus when I was a boy. But on a different Altar, All was offered for me. Now in the Eucharist, I’ve found this joy. In Forgiveness, I’ve found peace and joy. Through RCIA only I’ve found joy! You see it was a long time ago I was at an Evangelical altar rail and not to put them down, without all seven Sacraments of the Church, the seed fell on rocky soil, the house was built on sand, not the Rock of the Lord and the rock of St. Peter. As a child I had no roots. I was shallow. The church I went to didn’t have the depth of a continuous history, from the apostles through to now, and the cares, the lures, of this World got me hooked on my own pursuits. It took me all my time, energy and money to pursue missing the mark. I was evil. I am free. And I know what it feels like to be released from hospitals or jails; but I’ve been turned out now, from my own prison bars and restraints, constructed by my evil pursuits. And now this freedom ensues. I am no longer enslaved by addictive behaviour and it was not correction, medication or modification, not to put them down, but Confession, Baptism, Confirmation and Communion, from the Author of our Faith, these discharged me from my slavery to other gods, cravings, putting down people, and the bottomless pit, of more, more, more.

Christmas Morn
Everything will be alright.
It's Christmas morning.
We did not find a room at the Inn,
But we found some manger hay.
We had a sweat
Before the Baby came.
We come from far away
And we rest with Him today.
We had a fright last night
Until the angel assured us.
We'd leave our flocks
But we would find!
We'd sure use the Good News.
We'll find the Christ Child,
The Son of Mary;
He will please us.
His star we wondered at last night.
This long foretold of Saviour.
We followed it for days.
Here is where it did lead us.
And now we have gifts to share:
To present before our Prophet, Priest and King,
We have for our Sovereign some financial resourcing,
To our greatest intercessor we bring our humble prayer,
To Jesus, who gave this Life, that we would see our Way.

Christmas Wish
When the whole Earth is at peace.
It is Christmas all over the World.
The was between angels and demons cease.
Christ's banner of peace is unfurled.
The kid will not fear the tigress.
The biosphere will be in harmony.
No illness nor pain to regress.
Not a soul will need alimony.
An end to death and sorrow, Satan's curse.
Them dry bones will take on flesh.
Not a day with an empty purse.
The planet's resources are shared wealth.
Jesus walks again with humans
and equity is among all nations.
Love today originate from a man.
Obedience, fiat, come from woman.

St. Jerome's Sun.; Gal. 6:2-10
My purchase - We are all called to be prophet's. But we might only share what God has done for us, with whatever graces the Spirit has mercifully lavished on us. There is one Spirit, one Baptism, however: different abilities, different ethnics, different churches, and different personalities, from which we may draw resources; appreciating, not critical of our share.
My prayer - Thank You Jesus for the family of God. May I always share with You and my Confessor for spiritual progress. Help me not point my finger at others for their deficiency or worry about mine in comparison.
My plan - Carry my own cross. Help others'! Only glory in the Cross. Sow spiritual seeds. Don't sow seeds of worldliness.

Truly Sustains
There is a truth that has bee true in the past, forever, and more will be.
Jesus is Lord of the World, space, and time, and Lord of me!
If you think this amazing fact is if false news, His Spirit will set you straight.
Yes, those Churchy people are not out to lunch; not even they who think Mary great.
Our Father made the Universe good: not an evil drug in the plan.
Our doubt He would feed us and quench our thirst comes from demons and man.
Ask for sign. Miracles abound. Believe in Christ, Him.
Christ is Lord. Christ is True Bread. Drink the Blood. Take Him.

from Sts. Peter & Paul's Fri.
Lord Jesus Your hand has written on every page of history.
Your reappearance best witnessed by St. Peter & Paul.
Blessed Jesus from Creation to the end of our story;
You have intricately woven, throughout the tapestry of us all.
Christ Jesus: such blessed, great, and chaste men and women,
have made a change so profound in society,
Friend Jesus, we revere You through them.
They lived and died to glorify the Heavenly City.
Divine Jesus so present in our lives,
may we give glory to Your Name with our love.
