Time

 

Time 

I have wasted my time

The feeling of loosing

 made the time stop

I have to make my time 

and 

my time is today 

neither  yesterday 

nor tomorrow

but now

let the past be the past

make today

full of thankfulness 

Reasons

 Everything happens because of  God's will

whatever it is,  

sad, happy

down, up

sick, healthy

difficult, easy

lacking, wealthy

problems, blessings

all the situations  happen  for some reasons 

In my life I  had ...... 

faulty, truth  

bad and good times

sickness and health

worse, better

richer, poorer

but I  don't take it for granted 

instead, be grateful 

Thank you for letting me experience this in my life 

may this make me  realize  that I am not ready yet for the biggest blessing 

eternal life 

grab me and hug me

I love You. I miss You 

shape me oh Lord 

me 

"I, ______, take you, ______, to be my wife/husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."

"I, ______, take you, ______, for my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." 

Gaze welcoming not judgmental

 

The Pope pointed out that the “most serious illness in life is a lack of love, and not being able to love.”

 

Useless searching for love

He then reflected on how we can find healing in this story of a nameless woman who represents us all.

She had spent lots of money on various ineffective treatments which only made her condition worse. The Pope lamented that we, too, seek useless remedies for our lack of love, throwing ourselves into vain searches for success and money, even looking online.

But, he added, the woman finally chose to seek direct, physical contact with Jesus.

“The Lord waits for us to encounter Him,” said the Pope, “to open our hearts to Him, for us, like the woman, to touch His garment in order to heal. Because, by growing in intimacy with Jesus, we are healed in our affections.”

Seeking Jesus’ healing gaze

Pope Francis pointed out that Jesus responds favorably to the woman’s touch, seeking her out of the pressing crowd.

“This is Jesus’ gaze: there are many people, but He goes in search of a face and a heart full of faith. He does not look at the whole, but at the individual.”

The Pope added that Jesus “does not stop at the wounds and mistakes of the past, but goes beyond sins and prejudices” to reach the heart.

Jesus, he said, heals precisely that woman who had been rejected by everyone, praising her faith and calling her “daughter”.

Love alone heals life

Finally, Pope Francis encouraged everyone to “let Jesus look at and heal your heart.”

If we have already experienced His gaze, then we should turn to those around us who may feel wounded and alone to show them love.

“Jesus asks you for a gaze that does not stop at the outward appearance, but that goes to the heart: a gaze not judgmental, but welcoming,” he said, “Because love alone heals life.”

 

 

Dear Jesus,

you know me 

I have been searching  for Your gaze

 Once I felt empty and dry, 

and still I don't know what you want me to do 

please tell me God what I have to do

Don't let evil and temptation grab me from You

 

You know me

I have been wounded  and keeping it

but Jesus, this wound has made me realize 

to come to You 

to rely on You

to trust You

I feel no regret 

This wound has made me experience You 

This wound has  made me remember my last destination

eternal life 

Help me please 

Love 

After Criticizing me ( Matthew 7: 1-5)

Matthew 7:1–5

Judging Others

7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 

it is easier to criticize others

let's learn to criticize ourselves

Then, don't just feel sorry for our mistakes 

 Let's prepare our way to come to the internal life granted by Him

Just be kind and have mercy on others
