Miracles:
irrefutable proof of the
Divinity of the Messiah


The word miracle indeed means any phenomenon produced by a supernatural force because it escapes the usual laws of nature. It is also confirmed in the popular lexicon, when it is said: "I can not make miracles... I can not do the impossible!". Existence of John the Baptist were sad, studded with troubles and adversities. He will be placed in prison of Machaerus, because he had publicly rebuked Herod, who took possession of Herodias , his brother Philip's wife.

“Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Jesus answered and said unto them, go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.” (Mt. 11,4-6)

These statements of Christ will be cause for conflict and contradiction: the famous Pharisees will deny the divinity of His doings "... but who do you think you are?".
 

But He can not be content with words and proclamations. Making miracles is the only way for Him to proof that He is the God who incarnated in man. And the miracles, that He had made, are His irrefutable proofs of this.

So why the Saints, who are men,
can perform miracles?


There has never been a man even if canonized saint who would be able to perform a miracle which is above nature.

And this also true to Madonna, who is the most exalted creature, but still human.
Yet, especially for believers, the appeal to one or another saint has exactly this motivation - expectation of great miracle.

Immediately clarify the misunderstanding: the request for a grace, a miracle, is always addressed to God, but is done through the intercession of the saint who we ask to help. This being declared with certainty by the Church: the saint, standing before God, may apply for and obtain what is asked in faith.


In fact Jesus is true God and true man, one day he said "Ask what you need, ask me insistently, even if you do not deserve it for your sins, and i answer your requests if you will be insistent".
 

As the language with God is pray, uncongenial to many of us, we rely on saints to intercede for us.

When the grace is obtained we should not only make a gesture of gratitude to the saint who has obtained mercy, but we should also say with faith, ...

Thank you my Lord

AS VIAS DO ESPIRITO

Do humilde sentir de se mesmo

Do humilde sentir
de se mesmo


Todo homem, naturalmente, deseja saber: de que vale, porém a ciência sem o temor de Deus? Melhor, sem dúvida, é o  camponês humilde que serve a Deus que o filosofo orgulhoso o qual, de si mesmo esquecido, considera o curso dos astros.
Quem se conhece bem, despreza-se e não se compraz com humanos louvores.

Soubesse eu tudo no mundo, faltando-me a caridade, de que me valeria diante de Deus que me julgará pelas minhas obras?

 

THE WAYS OF THE SPIRIT

YOU ARE MY FAITH

YOU ARE MY FAITH

Oh Jesus, people usually think that the faith in You was born by miracles done in the roman Palestine. Those miracles caused only astonishment and they only made  believable your message.
It was the way in which you introduced yourself and explained your thinking that was unusual.
It is easy to point out limits, defects and faults in Moses, David and in the Prophets.
In You, Jesus, everything is majestic and brightly without any ostentation.
In You everything is human an lovable.

HOY ME PREPARO PARA LA VENIDA DEL REY



HOY ME PREPARO
 PARA LA VENIDA DEL REY

Qué soy yo y qué ere Tú, Señor, Rey de la gloria, gloria inmortal. Oh corazón mío, ¿te das cuenta de quién viene a visitarte hoy? Sí, lo sé, pero es curioso que no puedo comprenderlo. Oh, si fuera solamente  un rey, pero éste es el Rey de reyes, Señor de los señores. Ante él tiembla todo poder y autoridad.
Hoy Él viene a mi corazón. Lo oigo acercarse, salgo a su encuentro y lo invito. Cuando entró en la morada de mi corazón, mi alma se llenó de un respeto tan grande que se desmayó atemorizada, cayendo a sus pies.

O que vou dizer ao confessor?
 
Começamos assim: como deveríamos definir a primeira fonte de angustia  para àquele que se encosta à Penitência? Óbviamente, para alguém que nunca se confessa, não sabemos quanto poderá sofrer para se fazer uma idéia aproximada daquilo que aconteceu na sua conduta moral. Mas, desses, não me interesso.

Ti adoro» mio Dio,
e ti amo con tutto il cuore.
Ti ringrazio di avermi creato, fatto cristiano

Ti offro le azioni della giornata:

per la maggior tua gloria.
Preservami dal peccato e da ogni male.
