Please be inspired too!!!


I cannot fail to share this with you. These words may find you totally “out of your mind”, that is, not in a real sense of the saying, but, I mean losing the sense of life. Read and you will see a difference in your life. Know that you are a social being and life is like a rainbow, full of many colors. Be able to distinguish each and every color and appreciate that color as it appears to you. Be blessed and live the Gospel.
“Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they are meant to be there.
They are there to serve some purpose, teach you a lesson or help you to figure out who you are, to help you figure out who you want to become.
You never know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know that at every moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you, and sometimes they seem bother, painful and unfair. You realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, your strength your will power or your heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury love, last moments of true greatness………without these small tests life would be like a smoothly pave, straight flat road to nowhere. Save and uncomfortable …………. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from, in fact they are probably the lost emotional and important ones. If someone hurts you betrays or breaks your heart you forgive them…..because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being conscious about whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back, unconditionally not only because they are loving you but because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things.
Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you may never talked to before and actually listen, let yourself fall in love…………
Tell yourself you are a great individual, and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.” By Laura Burns

The New Evangelization in the secularized world


Living in this secularized world  gives headache to a Christian because he/she knows that he/she has received the great mandate -"Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Mt 28, 19)- from the Lord, that is, he/she knows that he has this mission to fullfil in this world. In his Apostolic Exortation Christifideles Laici, Pope John Paul II shows the gravity of the problem of secularization -in which many people have lost the sense of religion- as he says that it is really a "grave fenomenon", and for this reason, the Pope makes a call for a new evangelization as it is evident in Evangelii Nuntiadi e Redemptoris Missio.
My question to you: Are ready to confront this situation? Are you ready to engage yourself to the new evagelization?
