I am no longer a slave to the 'Random Thoughts' of the shadow; I am the Author of the 'Higher Philosophy' of the Light."
=========
Christusway Reflection:
Jesus said, "My yoke is easy, and you will find rest." There are two yokes: either the yoke of Sanctifying Grace
which leads to a Life Culture, or the yoke of sin which leads to a
Death Culture. Demonic elements cunningly steal our energy and grace,
harming our friendship with God; this is the basic reason for all pain.
Baptism
restores our lost sonship with God—our only true right—and gives us
access to Sanctifying Grace for purification. Recognizing this initiates
a fundamental Catholic life; without this realization, we fight for
false rights in darkness.
A life yoked with Sanctifying Grace requires maintaining a state of grace, which is achieved through the harmony of sound reason, an upright heart, holy habits, and an awakened soul. To foster this harmony, one has to do four things:
- Sound reason is required to distinguish true impulses of blessing from demonic ones of blame and curse. Spending time daily with our ChristusWay reflections is important for this.
- An upright heart is essential for grace to flow. Praying four rosaries daily is necessary to achieve this, as the Rosary weaves a person within Jesus' memory.
- Cultivate a sacramental life to fill the soul with grace, allowing it to flow outward and build a Culture of Life.
- Foster holy habits of charity: Forgive 70 times 7, practice almsgiving, and intercede for souls in purgatory.
1.Connecting with the truth brings rest.
Our
call is to act as a channel of grace. It is easy because we are created
for it. Realizing this truth forces us to respond and results in being
'Chosen.' This makes you a blessing."
Baptism restores our lost sonship with God, our only true right.
Recognizing this initiates a fundamental Catholic life; without this
realization, we fight for false rights.
Actual
Grace fuels every human endeavor, while Sanctifying Grace purifies us.
Demonic elements cunningly steal this grace, attempting to enslave us to
a hard life. True human pain stems from the loss of friendship with
God. To maintain this friendship, we must abide in a state of grace,
allowing it to flow and bear fruits of blessing.
1 Corinthians
chapter 15 verse 10, But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his
grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than
all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God [that is] with me.
Ignorance of the actions of Grace in our lives is the real problem of
existence. Through this ignorance, demonic elements cunningly manipulate
and steal our daily portion of Actual Grace, enslaving us merely to
survive. Demonic
systems like paid propaganda, toxic social media feeds, relentless work
pressure, irritating interactions, fatigue, financial strain, and other
disturbances are all means used to trigger impulses. Impulsive
reactions to demonic systems drain our energy, leading to imbalance,
scarcity, and leas us to blame everything.While a conscious reaction to
impulses results in a blessing.
Isaiah chapter 59 verse 2, 'But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.'
True
human pain is experienced only when friendship with God is lost. While
Baptism restores this relationship, sin and demonic distractions hinder
it, driving us toward worldly pursuits. To keep on the friendship with
Lord, we need to maintain state of Grace.
Choose to yoke with Christ, or be ensnared by evil—busy chasing worldly vanity, reaping only anxiety.
In
Luke chapter 10 verse 41, Jesus said , “Martha, Martha, you are worried
about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the
better part and it will not be taken from her.”
1.Engage
in 10 minutes of daily ChristusWay reflections to foster sound reason,
aiding in the evolution beyond lower consciousness to distinguish true
impulses from demonic ones. Our ChristusWay reflections integrate the
Rosary, sacraments, sanctifying grace, scripture, tradition, Mother
Mary, and the Saints to help you comprehend truth in current realities.
2.Pray
Four rosaries for an upright heart: one personal, two integrated with
daily household activities, and one family rosary. This holy habit
awakens the soul.
3.Cultivate a daily sacramental life: This holy habit fosters life in the soul.
4.Foster
holy habits of charity: Forgive 70 times 7, practice almsgiving (time,
talent, money), and intercede for the needy, especially for souls in
purgatory.
The desire for God is written in the human heart because man is created by God and for God.
2.Chase the desire for God; otherwise, we trapped by chasing the vanity of worldly things:
Our minds are designed to pursue the divine within the heart; otherwise, we settle for chasing the vanity of worldly things.
True
human pain is experienced only when friendship with God is lost; this
is the pain of Purgatory. A state of lost friendship with God forces us
to chase life's worries, manifesting as despair, anxiety, and chaos,
resulting in blame and curses.
Whereas a
state of Grace, or friendship with God, moves us to pursue Grace,
blessing, and peace. One's current state of life is both the destiny and
the continuation of the afterlife. Sin and demonic distractions drive
us toward worldly pursuits, but the daily habit of reading the ChristusWay reflections and praying three Rosaries guides us toward a state of Grace.
Baptism
restores our lost friendship with God, though sin and worldly
distractions can break this bond. Cultivating a constant, daily-growing
friendship with Him is the only solution to humanity’s problems. It is
like lighting a small fire: the more it grows, the more the darkness
moves away from you and your surroundings. After all, cold is merely the
absence of heat.
To achieve the true purpose of humanity, one must achieve a harmony of self and God:
The
true purpose of humanity is to live within the Kingdom of God,
cultivating a close friendship with Him. This represents a higher
awareness—a childlike, innocent state of being. To achieve this, one
must attain personal harmony. This is the true and raw existence of a
human: a "soul-centered" life where the inner, authentic self guides
daily actions according to the will of God, freeing oneself from
external pressures or societal expectations.
Personal
harmony is the alignment of soul, heart, and mind. It fosters a
childlike intellect and an innocent state, allowing one to attain higher
consciousness and trust in God. As Mark chapter 10 verse 14 states,
'the kingdom of God belongs to such as child like.' This transition
moves a person from mere existence to purposeful, authentic living.
A person living in this state able to feel content and peace, the peace of Christ. John chapter 14 verse 27, 'My peace I give to you.' This sate is God's kingdom and righteousness.
3.Intellect's certainty and hearts vulnerability:
2
Corinthians chapter 12 verse 9: "My power is made perfect in weakness."
If you are vulnerable, man of heart, you are holding trust. If you seek certainty, you are holding fear. Intellect counts numbers to replace trust to soothe ego.
The
language of the heart, and its way of life, is paradoxical for those
who live primarily through the intellect. The paradox lies in the fact
that the intellect seeks certainty, while the heart finds its way of life through vulnerability and
mystery. One builds maps; the other prefers to get lost. Vulnerability
is the birthplace of trust, love, belonging, and courage.
Unethical
and disproportionate intellectual development leads to a misalignment
between the heart (emotions) and brain (reasoning/logic). This
misalignment often results in an over-developed ego, fostering a lower
state of consciousness that limits human potential.
In
Matthew chapter 6 verse 33, Jesus said, "Seek first the kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you."
Seeking His kingdom and righteousness is the way to enter into God's
kingdom, helping one grow in a childlike, higher consciousness. Leading a
faithful Catholic life is the way to grow in God's kingdom, which means
growing in a state of grace. The daily habit of reading the ChristusWay reflections
and praying three Rosaries helps one grow in awareness of the power of a
Catholic life. Worldly and demonic forces spread lies to lure humans
into passive information, entertainment, fear, and lower consciousness.
ChristusWay
reflections propagate the true purpose of life. They serve as an
antidote to the distractions and lies of our daily lives—such as news,
celebrity gossip, entertainment, social media, work pressure, physical
ailments, a thirst for novelty, and feelings of emptiness and anxiety.
The purpose of human creation is to live in Higher consciousness, which
is the harmony of four elements: a sound reason, an upright heart, holy
habits, and an awakened soul. Unfortunately, the world and demonic
temptations are designed to drive us toward impulsive actions.
Child-like
higher consciousness helps us discern impulses and actions that are
blessings. Christusway reflections help achieve this by weaving the Rosary
into our daily lives and uniting it with the life of Jesus, through the
integration of sacraments, sanctifying grace, scripture, tradition,
Mother Mary, and the saints."
4.The importance of discerning impulses to avoid blame and misfortune, and to bring about blessings.In
Matthew 16, Peter demonstrates a duality of impulses. First, prompted
by God, Peter correctly declares Jesus as 'the Christ, the Son of the
living God.' Moments later, when Jesus describes his necessary suffering
and death, Peter, acting on a worldly impulse that aligns with Satan’s
desire to avoid the cross, rebukes Jesus, saying, 'This shall never
happen to you!' Jesus aligns with the Father's impulses by sternly
commanding, 'Get behind me, Satan!'
While Peter fluctuates between
spiritual clarity and worldly fear, Jesus demonstrates mastery by
rejecting the temptation. True freedom is the ability to recognize an
impulse and consciously decide how to act, resulting in either blessing
or a curse. Jesus demonstrates freedom, while Peter acts impulsively.
This path requires a sound mind and an upright heart."
Knowing the truth daily empowers reason to discern impulses. Dedicate 10 minutes every day to reading ChristusWay reflections.
Spending
time reading and keeping a daily journal is essential for comprehending the truth. To comprehend
this truth, we must build a habit of conscious thinking before every
action; otherwise, our actions become impulsive. A habit of impulsive
behavior makes us easily manipulated by the anxious triggers of
spiritual distractions. By connecting ChristusWay reflections daily over a period of time you will learn how to
identify truth among the piles of lies tangled on our life's day to day
realities.
Understanding the basics—the true purpose of life, the hidden truth
behind our anxiety, and the deeper meaning of our actions and
connections—is essential for cultivating hope and gratitude. Without
this understanding of how to truly live, we risk leading a life defined
by blame.
5.Depleting, Restoration Vitality and Sustainability of human energy :
Low-level
demonic elements survive by depleting human energy through passive
entertainment, mental repression, and anxiety. These factors act as "hidden energy drains" that lead to emotional burnout, cognitive fatigue, and, ironically, a state of low-energy boredom or restlessness.
Ignorance
of this fact is the root cause of fatigue, difficulty concentrating,
poor decision-making, and memory issues, resulting in subpar performance
and misplaced blame. Awareness of these energy drains and their various
sources is the first step toward stopping this depletion; adopting
restorative habits is the next.
Daily reading of ChristusWay reflections
helps identify "energy vampires." Consistently engaging with the truth
empowers reason to dismantle the web of lies. Furthermore, ChristusWay
reflections emphasize the importance of the Rosary in building holy habits for the restoration of energy.
Demonic elements drain the energy humans receive through their daily portion of Actual
Grace. They cannot forcefully steel from a person ; they can only
succeed when one 'bites' the hook of temptation." Paid propaganda, toxic
social media feeds, relentless work pressure, irritating interactions,
fatigue, financial strain, and other disturbances are all means used
to trigger impulses. A conscious reaction to impulses results in
blessing, while an impulsive reaction leads to a curse or blame.
6.Peace is the fruit of guarded grace; anxiety is the shadow of its absence. Three Secrets to Earn, Consume and Preserve Grace.
First Secret: Reflecting on Daily Mass Readings before Mass maximizes the receptivity of grace. Christusway reflections help to weave the Rosary
into our daily life with Jesus by integrating sacraments, sanctifying
grace, scripture, traditions, Mother Mary, and the Saints. This is
important to earn, consume, and preserve grace wisely without losing it to demonic distractions, ensuring it becomes our lasting peace.
The
Second Secret: Bring your intentions to Mass and present them at the
Offertory to attain graces. Immediately after the final blessing, offer
the Mass for the Pope’s intentions to secure the graces received
eternally before demonic distractions steal them. Through the Rosary,
access these graces for blessings as needed, including for the souls in
purgatory.
Praying
four Rosaries daily—while meditating on all the mysteries of Christ—is
an effective way to securely access grace for daily use. A wise use of
grace gains grace upon grace. Forgiveness is an act of grace and an
opportunity to gain more grace; forgiving is a holy habit of charity.
Jesus said to forgive 70 times 7.
Whenever
grace flows, worldly temptations or demonic impulses arise to steal it.
A conscious reaction determines whether the result is a blessing or a
curse. The Rosary effectively tackles temptation hooks and turns grace
into blessings. One personal Rosary for internal harmony to remove
anxious thoughts, one family Rosary for family harmony and to eliminate
negative influences, and two integrated Rosaries along with daily
activities ensure all actions are aligned with true wisdom.
A person who prays the Rosary always feels that they have a mother.
A personal Rosary should
be prayed alone to truly experience the motherly affection of Mother
Mary. This harmonizes the mind, body, and soul to access true wisdom—a
wisdom essential for gaining more grace and breaking all demonic hooks."
Integrated Rosaries: Integrating the Rosary into your daily activities.
You
can offer one mystery and ten Hail Marys at a time during routine
activities—such as bathing, driving, or cleaning—that require minimal
mental effort. This practice ensures consistent access to true wisdom in
all decision-making without losing grace. The Rosary helps all actions
to be hopeful, allowing you to gain grace. Conversely, anxious actions
lose grace.
The Family Rosary brings
all members together. Promoting family harmony helps earn Grace upon
Grace and consume wisely. Rosary helps eliminate negative influences,
acting as a shield for children who may be more susceptible to them.
Ultimately, this practice strengthens and reinforces the authentic
structure of the family.
7.===Realizing our true purpose is the key to success, whereas ignorance is the invisible chain.
John
chapter 14 verse 6, Jesus says, "I am the way, and the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.This verse emphasizes
that knowing Jesus personally is equivalent to knowing the ultimate
truth.
The purpose of human creation is to share in God's love as citizens of the Kingdom of God. Original sin
led to a corruption of human nature and creation, resulting in a
separation from God. God restored this kingdom through Jesus Christ.
Baptism begins this process, providing a glimpse of the Kingdom of God.
To fully experience the Kingdom of God through union with Christ,
those who are baptized must engage with actual grace for daily blessing
and sanctifying grace for purification. Once this response to the baptismal call succeeds, you will be 'Chosen' to partake in the process of purgation and realize it is Christ's peace and joy.
The Rosary anchors us in every life scenario, providing meaning, focus, and consistent momentum.
Through baptism, a Catholic regains the lost sonship of God. Our body is part of the Kingdom of God; If we access grace and grow in it, we experience peace, joy, and righteousness, resulting in charity. Otherwise, chasing vanity results in anxiety, dissatisfaction, emptiness, self-centeredness, cravings, and desires of the flesh.
Realizing
the power of grace in Catholic reality is the first step in
metanoia—the conversion of heart required to work toward a life of
grace. A life that accesses grace produces the heat of an active Spirit, whereas its absence results in the coldness of being lukewarm.
8.==The Rosary fosters a sacramental life to access grace and increases connection to the Church.
The
strength of the Rosary is that it mysteriously transforms daily hassles
into a purposeful Catholic life by weaving daily activities and
personal struggles with the life of Christ, fostering a deep, peaceful
trust in God's will. It turns mundane tasks or anxieties into
opportunities."
Living
a faithful Catholic life is the first step toward growing in the
Kingdom of God. A person will either be part of the Kingdom of God,
ruled by grace and leading to eternal life, or the kingdom of this
world, ruled by sin and leading to death. Just as cold is the absence of
heat, growing in the Kingdom of God means accessing grace and growing
in the 'heat' of the Fear of the Lord while reducing the 'coldness' of the fear of death.
The Fear of the Lord is revealed through hope, peace, joy, and
tranquility, whereas the fear of death manifests as despair, anxiety,
and chaos, driven by chasing life's worries. One's current state of life
is both the foundation of and the continuation of the afterlife.
The
Rosary helps us connect with grace and shapes our lives, grounding us
in the fear of God. It guides our desires, decisions, and moments,
allowing us to grow in hope—much like a mother pulling her child through
a busy street. The Rosary effectively aligns a person's inner and outer nature through the warmth of the Fear of God, allowing them to access abundant
grace. This prevents the formation of a cold, Pharisaical faith,
enabling a person to express true life in their religious, moral,
professional, and mundane actions.
John chapter 15 verse 5, I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
9.==External state is merely a reflection of Internal State : Ignorance of the purpose of life is the silent killer of Grace.
11 Corinthians 13 verse12, describes the metaphor of a mirror. In our present reality, we see dimly and know partially, as in a mirror. At the time of death, facing the Lord, I shall know fully, just as I am fully known.
Connection with Grace is the Fear of God, which brings life; however, the absence of Grace results in the Fear of Death.
This defines a person's current spiritual state—either hot or cold—and
this internal condition is immediately evident in their surroundings.
The environment acts as a mirror, reflecting your internal state through
your decisions, aspirations, emotions, words, and attitudes, all rooted
in either the Fear of God or the Fear of Death.
Our current environment reflects our final hour. If, at present, we are anxious and habitually blame others,
our foundation is a fear of death, which makes the final hour intense
and painful. We must stop and act now to lead a truly Catholic life.
Conversely, if we are thankful for the present and hold onto hope, our
final hour will be peaceful, regardless of life's struggles. It is here that we can strive for higher levels of perfection.
When
you have control over your emotions and feel a sense of gratitude
towards Jesus, the people around you, and your circumstances, you
sustain a foundation of hope that reflects peace and happiness in your
life.
If
you have issues with emotional control and a tendency to blame others
and situations, you may experience a lack of integrity and feelings of
despair, which can lead to distrust in yourself.
The Rosary fosters gratitude by
The Rosary breaks the attitude of blame by fostering gratitude, anchoring the heart in hope, acting as an antidote to despair, and providing peace. By meditating on the
mysteries of Christ’s life, users build trust in God's providence and
cultivate a resilient, thankful spirit, even in difficult times.
Ignorance of the purpose of life is the silent killer of Grace. Most people live in a trap of life's hassles,
addicted to vanity, and choked by worries they can't control. This
ignorance leads to a life defined by blame and spiritual blindness. The
Rosary guides you out of this fog by anchoring your brain internally,
awakening your soul to the moral laws of the Kingdom, and providing the
Divine Wisdom needed to discern truth from falsehood.
10====
The experience of death is ultimately a solitary one and finding God's mercy is crucial at death time. A person has to face the phenomenon of the time of death. There are two kinds of death: either death to the world or physical death. The state of a person's integrity determines the pain at the time of death. A Catholic's integrity is proportionate to their alignment with remaining in Christ. There are different stages to develop this alignment.
Time of Death :
Catholic
life is like the transformation of a butterfly. Through purifying of
sanctifying grace, we move from a caterpillar-like existence to fly in
the fullness of freedom, glorifying God before our final rest in Him.
At
the time of death, like a butterfly, the soul emerges from the body and
returns to the Creator while the body reunites with the earth. If the
soul remains attached to the heavy larva state—earthly sins or
attachments—at the time of death, the process of letting go can be
painful, especially without an understanding of life's purpose. This
purifying process then continues in purgatory.
When
the soul is still attached to the heavy 'larva' state, it means there
is intense attachment, fear, or unfinished business, making the
separation painful. The spirit is still tightly bound to the physical
form.
The
Rosary is the most effective tool to prepare the faithful
for the time of death by gradually nourishing the virtues of Faith,
Hope, and Charity throughout their lifetime, which were infused in them
at their Catholic Baptism. This will increase the integrity of a person's hope.
An effective way to pray the Rosary for a successful Catholic life is to pray all 20 mysteries daily. This structure includes one personal Rosary, one Family Rosary, and two integrated Rosaries.Importance of Personal Rosary:
Experience
the belonging of Mother Mary is important to experience the True
Presence the of Lord. We may be like a manger, her presence makes it a
holy crib. Personal Rosary is the best way for Mother Mary to connect us
and experience her Motherly affection. It is easy for Lord to connect
to persons established connection with Mother Mary.
Personal rosary prayers may feel structured, boring, and painful because of their forcefully grounding process and resistance to active demonic elements in our habits. But they are essential to harmonize our heart, body, and soul. This harmony is necessary to communicate with higher elements, such as Mother Mary. Otherwise, our own mere imagination, illusions, and premises can deceive us. Most importantly, only Mother Mary can communicate through a person praying the rosary; demonic elements freeze all activities in a person, at least for four hours after chanting one rosary, because of hate and fear.
The Importance of Integrating the Rosary with Daily Activities : Integrating the Rosary into your day is simple: you only need to pray the Mysteries, the Our Father, and the Hail Marys.
You can offer one mystery and ten Hail Marys at a time during routine
activities—such as bathing, driving, or cleaning—that require minimal
mental effort.
The goal is to train the mind to maintain an inner connection amidst daily challenges, enabling "automatic" prayer even in chaotic situations. This practice ensures consistent access to wisdom in all decision-making. As the Seat of Wisdom,
Mother Mary offers her maternal aid in every aspect of life, much like a
mother holding her child’s hand while crossing a busy street.
The Family Rosary brings
all members together, promoting harmony that brings grace and blessings
to the home. It helps eliminate negative influences, acting as a shield
for children who may be more susceptible to them. Ultimately, this
practice strengthens and reinforces the authentic structure of the
family.
Praying
the Rosary as a family is the best way to foster intergenerational
bonds and pass on a lasting, resilient Catholic legacy. The beauty of
family life is that parents learn and heal right along with their
children. Furthermore, it is a powerful tool for addressing ancestral
burdens, breaking negative patterns, and restoring harmony to family
lines.
Mother
Mary communicates through the Rosary as a protector and mediator.
Because demonic elements are repelled by this intense focus, it creates a
period of peace after prayer, reflecting the traditional belief that
the Rosary is a powerful spiritual weapon—often referred to as 'the
scourge of the devil'
For personal rosary we have to do one full
Rosary begins with the Angelus, followed by the Apostles' Creed, 5
Mysteries, 50 Hail Marys, and concludes with the Litany, Hail Holy
Queen, and Memorare. It lasts for 20 minutes, during which participants
reflect on the mysteries in a quiet and distraction-free environment.
This will build a strong contemplative harmony in person to access
wisdom for daily life. The most richness of a person is his access to
wisdom.
The advantages of praying personal rosary:
Joy is experiencing the full spectrum of life. To experience joy, one must live in presence and react to divine whispers or impulses. This reaction is called prayer—a state of psalms, expressing grief, need, or thanks."
Praying the personal rosary brings harmony to mind, body, and soul by fostering mindfulness, encouraging a present demeanor, fostering an upright heart, sound reason, an awakened soul, and sinless habits. Through the rhythmic, consistent repetition of the prayers, Rosary makes a brain from a high-stress, mode to a calm, focused, and secure state.
An "upright heart"
is a person whose inner life—intentions, motives, and character—is
aligned with divine truth, integrity, and righteousness, free from
deceit.
Sound reason is the intellectual capacity to balance and apply imagination, art, math, and logic to
discern truth from falsehood by employing judgment. It involves
analyzing premises to ensure they are true and that conclusions
logically follow, rather than relying on assumption or emotion. Based on this, one can make informed decisions regarding what to express in prayer.
Theology is
the learning of the present reality of eternal life, while philosophy
is the learning of the reality of existence. Whether we know it or not,
we are subject to one or the other. If the soul is connected to the
Heart, grace flows, the heat of life is nourished, and the Fear of God
stems from primal fear. Consequently, memory paths of theological
objects form around the Fear of God.
If
the soul loses its connection, the flow of grace is prevented. Primal
fear triggers the cold fear of death, and memory paths of philosophical
objects form around the fear of death.
St. Augustine: "Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee."
According to the
Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 27, the
desire for God is written in the human heart
because man is created by God and for God. God never ceases to draw
humanity to himself, and only in God will people find the truth and
happiness they are searching for.
Neutrality is impossible: We are either operating under the influence of Grace (Fear of God) or under the dominion of Ego/Foreign Gods (Fear of Death).
The
innate desire for God in the heart generates primal fear, creating a
susceptibility to forming premises based on egoistic, divine, or demonic
elements. This premise is either "Fear of God," if it is from Grace, or
"Fear of Death," in the absence of grace and under the dominion of
foreign gods or ego.
Fear
of God or Fear of Death creates new premises to enforce its kingdom and
trigger new stimuli. Various stimuli trigger an impulse, forcing us to
connect to this premise. Our involvement with the premise and
consciousness determines the action. If the result leads to perception
and conclusion, theological or philosophical memory objects may be
created.
Based
on the proposed alignments, it connects with and enforces patterns of
either Fear of God or Fear of Death, which are deeply pounded into the
heart. A realization of this internal reality determines integrity, and
integrity determines the present joy of life, culture, destiny, and the
pain of death. Stimuli that sustain ignorance are the silent killer,
fostering a death culture within a person.
Law of Balance: The
universe maintains equilibrium through a dynamic balance of opposing
forces, energy, and matter, functioning as a self-regulating system.
A
conscious reaction to an impulse requires harmony of mind, body, and
soul in their raw state, sound reason, and an upright heart. This
results in contentment and joy; it is intentional living aligned to
purpose. Otherwise, people will be constantly reacting to the
distractions of the world, and living in shallow pursuits results in
sinful habits, emptiness, and anxiety. It is reactive living aligned to
pressure.
Acting
on immediate impulse keeps one in the present moment. Living in the
present moment is presence. It happens in a raw state. Any brain
involvement of thinking or imagination makes the state past or future.
To realize an impulse, one should be in a grounded, raw stage. He has to
discern whether each whisper or impulse is selfish, divine, or demonic.
This is the function of sound reason. Then, our immediate reaction
makes it a prayer, a growth in presence.
11=====
Loyalty is doing the will of God. All other things are presumptions.
Sirach chapter 15 verse 15, if you choose, you can keep the commandments; loyalty is doing the will of God. Before everyone are life and death, whichever they choose will be given them.
Due to demonic influences
and life's chaos and worries, being loyal to the commandments and
choosing life in every situation is very challenging. If we are loyal in
praying the Rosary for years, we are able to build a loyal connection
with Mother Mary. In any warfare, loyalty is the supreme battle asset of
all. By knowing her mannerisms and qualities, we can better understand
how she acts toward us. Many times, we may mistakenly project our own
experiences onto her; however, the Rosary helps
us to align with her true likeness. Through it, she can extend her help
to us under her motherly love and protection. She is the definitive
help in choosing life, and through her, virtues will flourish in our
lives. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 10, The
Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God. Among human
beings, who knows what pertains to a person except the spirit of the
person that is within?
Our
own souls know best about heaven, spiritual truths, moral law, the
commandments, and our personal state. The 613 moral commandments are not
easy to remember and practice based on their own context. But the soul
remembers everything—including original sin and its consequences—and
possesses an inherent, intuitive connection to moral law to prevent sin
and the death that follows.
Matthew chapter 5 verse 19, Jesus said, Whoever obeys and teaches the commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
The
alignment of soul, heart, and brain is essential for a joyful and
successful life, allowing individuals to move from a state of mere
survival to thriving. To choose life, we must realize the consequences
of death. A busy life is itself an addiction to, and a trap of, death.
Running for vanity—trying to find meaning or happiness apart from
life—leaves us running on empty. If we choose life, we need to keep the
commandments.
An
awakened soul only knows moral laws within its contextual scope and
with a compassionate approach. The heart should be meek; otherwise, it
will fabricate lies to protect personal interests. Similarly, the brain
should be internally focused. An externally focused brain becomes
entangled in worries—like bills, making ends meet, news, social media,
politics, and gossip—that create anxiety, drain energy, and choke daily
life.
The
Rosary is a mechanism to awaken the soul by enforcing a sacramental
life and upholding appropriate acts to maintain a state of grace. It
helps to meeken the heart by connecting with the mysteries of Jesus,
thereby eliminating worldly desires. The repetitive, contemplative mode
helps the brain to anchor internally and generate peace. Because sinful
habits prevent one from following the commandments, the Rosary serves as
a holy habit that fosters holy actions and removes sinful tendencies
from the body. Furthermore, as demonic distractions misinterpret the
context of the commandments to confuse people, the Rosary acts as a
powerful defense to avoid demonic depression and influences, which
despise the Rosary and those who pray it.
12===
John chapter 15 verse 5, I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.
Living a faithful Catholic life is the first step toward growing in the Kingdom of God. A person will either be part of the Kingdom of God, ruled by grace and leading to eternal life, or the kingdom of this world, ruled by sin and leading to death. Just as cold is the absence of heat, growing in the Kingdom of God means growing in the 'heat' of the Fear of the Lord while reducing the 'coldness' of the fear of death. The Fear of the Lord is revealed through hope, peace, joy, and tranquility, whereas the fear of death manifests as despair, anxiety, and chaos, driven by chasing life's worries. One's current state of life is both the destiny and the continuation of the afterlife.
Process to progress through all stages of growth in the Kingdom of God.
Leading
a life of growth in the Kingdom of God, which is ruled by grace,
involves five fundamental stages. In each stage, there is a fierce fight
against evil forces.
The
simplest method to progress through all stages of growth in the Kingdom
of Heaven and enjoy the Fruits of each stage is by reciting four Rosaries each day and reflecting on all the mysteries of Christ and Mary. Christusway daily
missal reflections can assist Catholics in effectively using the Rosary
to develop an integrity that aligns with remaining in Christ and helps
to attain the death of the righteous—a peaceful, blessed, and hopeful
death.
Stage 1: Align with actual grace by receiving daily blessings in the physical realm by living a fundamental Catholic life. This alignment will help to realize the the call to participate in the next stage. Stage
2: Live a life to justify 'The Call'—self-purification in the physical
realm by engaging with sanctifying grace. This involves praying more
rosaries, resulting in new spiritual habits.
Next stage: the reign of
sanctifying grace begins once you have built an unbroken habit of
praying four rosaries daily for years, along with an active sacramental
life.
Stage 3: Chosen for Purgation: Sanctifying grace,
infused into the soul, facilitates the process of purgation, removing
the remnants of sin and inordinate attachments while fostering a
permanent, virtuous disposition in the heart. Stage 4: Illumination at spiritual realm : Inner person growing and outer person decreasing.
Stage 5: Union, where grace is demonstrated through actions as results.
A key aspect of a Fundamental Catholic life is understanding actual grace for everyday blessings. As
you receive more blessings, you gain a deeper understanding of their
source. Ultimately, you come to realize that nothing matters; only
blessing matters. This understanding of actual grace opens the door for purgation, facilitating a deeper union with Christ.
A
fundamental Catholic life can enhance your connection with the Church,
the saints, and, through them, the Holy Mother. This experience takes
place on a physical realm , within the context of Actual Grace present in the Church. Living
a fundamental Catholic life is based in culture and social activities
and requires resisting worldly temptations and pressures. This
experience is regarded as a spiritual struggle that demands discipline,
prayer, and participation in sacraments. It stresses the importance of
making intentional choices to follow Christ's teachings instead of
secular values, placing eternal life above temporary pleasures, and is
often described as walking a "narrow path." Daily distractions can
divert individuals from Christ.
To lead a fundamental Catholic life,
individuals should be baptized in the Catholic faith and participate in
church activities from a young age to receive associated blessings. 1. Live a sacramental life to receive blessings from Christ.
2. Recite the rosary daily to develop a relationship with Mary and receive her blessings.
3. Read Scripture and understand how the Word has influenced the lives of the saints.
4. Seek blessings through the intercession of the saints to cultivate a good relationship with them.
5. Get involved in the community and engage in charitable works to share these blessings.
A proper alignment of spirituality in the physical realm,
including actual grace, sacraments, scripture, traditions, teachings,
Mother Mary, and the consistent use of the Rosary, graciously opens the spiritual realm of sanctifying grace for purification and purgation.
The
Rosary is a significant tool for comprehending the role of sanctifying
grace in the daily lives of Catholics, assisting them in their
preparation for purification before entering the Kingdom of Heaven.
Understanding this aspect of sanctifying grace is linked to Christ's
peace and happiness.
