HE IS RISEN ! ALLELULIA

(John 20:19-31 NIV) On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" {20} After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. {21}

Peace be with you! are Jesus' first words. Jesus is victorious over sin and death, and he wants our salvation.

Jesus is sending his mother to various parts of the world including Malta, she comes to take us to her son, she cares for us and wants to help us in our conversion. her main massage is [for Maltese people] and the whole world, to truly have conversion, we need to decide, which road to take....eternal damnation or eternal joy. our life in Christ start here and now. Our Mother Mary speaks about peace too, but we will never have peace unless we have radical conversion. when we change we are then able to change the world, from deadly sins such as abortion, euthanasia, divorce, child abuse, pornography, etc. peace starts by accepting the risen Christ in our hearts, but we have to open our hearts to him, he appeared to his apostles when the doors were closed, he was able to got through, but he will never force himself into our hearts, as he is love and we must accept him with love. we can start by humbly confessing our sins, receive Jesus in the Eucharist and pray, especially the rosary. My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it's never too late for you, Jesus has all his time to embrace you when you go to him, his time is eternity, enfolded

with unconditional love, peace and joy. Experience peace and true love, experience CHRIST.

when we're down God raises us up!

This song in this video really uplifts me. You raise me up....that what god does if we only let him. God does not send illness,sickness etc. cause he can only give us good things and perfect love. Being the perfect father he permits that we pass from certain things, so that we may see his glory and cling to him even more. life as we all know is not a bad of roses and the evil one on the other hand will do his best in these circumstances to let us think that God has abandoned us or that god wants us to suffer. we must remain firm in the lord in spite of our illness, in spite of our weakness to be in relationship with Jesus, i think this is,the secret is to Jesus with all your might that you cannot pass a day without receiving him in the Eucharist. we must also love our mother Mary, because she knows what it means to pass from distress,......if you are in prison remember that her son was innocent, he was silent during his trail so that you can be saved from the fires of hell, if you are in pain remember that she held the body of her only son, so that you and me may have life in us, life for eternity. Dear friends let us love Jesus and our lady immensely, when her spouse [the holy spirit] finds Jesus and our lady in our lives he too will come and give us his strength

Then we can all say or sing, you lift me up1

we must all carry our cross to follow jesus

One of the problems in our society is that when we come face to face with suffering we doubt God, we say to one onother 'where is our God?' I say to you dear ones, look at the face of Jesus in this picture, it is a face that shows suffering, for you and me. Anyone who wants to follow Christ must carry his cross . When we are in pain Jesus suffers with us, he helps us carry it, as he knows what suffering is,'I will never leave you nor forsake you, I have carved you in the palm of my hands'.

Let us prepare ourselves for lent, let us offer our sufferings for conversion of sinners, for our society, that cannot accept suffering but talks of abortion, when we offer our suffering we discover that it can have a meaning,it turns to a redemtive suffering.

Today is the Feast of our Lady of Guadalupe,protectress of the unborn

' thou shall not kill' it is the sixth commandment. There are no excuses to do an abortion, as this is an act of killing of the innocent. Only God is in control of our lives....and we have no right to kill the innocent. Last Wednesday our lady of Borg in-nadur came crying because of this crime. she said that people around the world d0 their best to protect animals like crocodiles and birds. But then there are laws in favor of abortion.

let us all do something to stop this massacre of the innocent. Stop abortion now! let us not be afraid to say it loud and clear.
John Paul II stated at Denver, on the occasion of the Eighth World Youth Day, "with time the threats against life have not grown weaker. They are taking on vast proportions. They are not only threats coming from the outside, from the forces of nature or the 'Cains who kill the Abels'; no, they are scientifically and systematically programmed threats. The twentieth century will have been an era of massive attacks on life, an endless series of wars and a continual taking of innocent human life. False prophets and false teachers have had the greatest success".

Life is a gift that God has given us. That life is present even in the unborn. A human hand should never end a life. I am convinced that the screams of the children whose lives have been terminated before their birth reach God’s ears. Mother Theresa.

let us pray :dear Mary and Joseph you who saved baby Jesus from king Herod, help and protect our society from this culture of death, intercede for us and take this prayer to your son Jesus the bearer and giver of life.

Today Is The feast of the Immaculate Conception

When we recite the first joyful mystery we reflect on the immaculate conception. Mary did not understand on what the angel had told her but with humility said yes to do God's will, she cooperated with the plan of salvation. Mary our mother is the new Eve. where eve lacked obedience Mary had full obedience. With eve's disobedience entered death and with the pain[ see for the seven sorrows of Mary ] of our immaculate conception we obtained life. next to the tree of life eve lost the battle, and Mary next to the cross of her son Jesus the battle was won for eternity, it is here next to the cross where our lady became our mother, the mother of all nations! Mary was the first disciple, the new ark of the covenant, the first Tabernacle, where our lord dwelt. Just as king David danced before the Ark of the Lord so did John the Baptist danced in his mother womb's before this new Ark of the Lord. And we too must dance with Joy as we are justified with the blood of the lamb, all we have to do is obey God's Word and repent, C F, Isaiah, 1:18 " Come now, let us talk this over, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."

" In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.""I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her". Luke 1;26-38

let us pray: Dear mother Mary today is your feast, help us and obtain for us the grace of obedience, humility and purity in our soul, help us always to spread the good news ,the good news of salvation to the ends of the earth, we prayed this in the name of the most high Jesus Amen.

FOLLOWING THE STAR........

Let us reflect on our spiritual journey with the three wise men.

The three wise men help me to reflect that no matter who or where we are, the call is for all. Everyone of us has got a special calling, mission and vocation. The journey is a long one, but we need three special things for this, first we need our will, when this is combined with good intentions to serve God it becomes like a pot of Gold for our soul. this will lead us to act, our actions becomes prayer, like perfumed incense to God. In this journey we need extra effort as it is not always easy to lead on. this will be like myrrh. this taste bitter but it smells nice especially when you add it with incense. So we must not be afraid when we are faced with obstacles and turmoils, although these may sound bitter to us, but will add a special perfume, an extra beauty to our interior life. we need to keep on focusing on the shining star that is on Jesus, he is our destination. To reach our destination we need wisdom to truly recognize Christ. The three men where really wise to bow down before the king of kings. This also require humility. Only with humble eyes that we are able to see Jesus.

In this journey we cannot go back to where we started or look back as Jesus said in Luke 9:62—
“Any person, who has put his or her hand to the plow, then looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God.”

After the visit the Magi leave the narrative by returning another way so as to avoid Herod, and do not reappear. Gregory the Great waxed lyrical on this theme, commenting that having come to know Jesus we are forbidden to return by the way we came. [ Biblical magi:From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]

let us pray: Dear Jesus help us to have a clean and sincere heart so that we may be worthy to welcome you this Christmas, help us to realize that you are the greatest gift that we can ever have. Dear mother of the saviour, help us to say 'yes' to do the will of God like you, in whatever circumstances. St.Joseph spouse of the virgin Mary give us the gift of silence so that our actions may speak for themselves for the glory of the trinity,Amen

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS

when we think of what had happened some 2000 years ago we may be surprised on how all the door were closed for the holy family.

At this time we all have a lot to prepare, buying gifts, food, clothing etc, Do we realize that we are still closing the doors to Jesus like back then? As soon as we neglect the call to forgive, repent, going to mass/confession and saying the rosary, we are closing the door in Jesus' face. Jesus is sending his mother to Malta,to pray with us, to teach us to love God, to convert! let us not close the door anymore. Our mother Mary lacked all the necessities to bear her son, but the presence of Jesus in her arms and the love and support of Joseph were sufficient. The secret of a peaceful and happy Christmas is to love God with all your might and to love your neighbor. In John 13:34-35 we read "I give you a new commandment: Love one another; you MUST love one another just as i have loved you. It is by your love for one another that everyone will recognise you as my disciples"

From my heart I wish you have a mary, Jesus and Joseph Christmas
