The Feast of the Annunciation


What is the point of life with out love and where does that love come from? Only in answering that question can we begin to resolve the hideous state our civilization finds it self in. In order to do that we must go back to the beginning. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. God created us to have companions in this universe. He created us to love Him above all others, as well as above all material matter. 

Every message given to us by God has its basis in love. We are suppose to be taught to love God with our with our whole heart, our whole being and our whole mind. God told His people to teach this message day and night. Day after day. How does this compare to what we teach and preach today? I was one of the lucky ones. Born in 1951 at a time when passing on the message of God to His people was still the central focus of our family, church and school education. Teaching the truth of God's law was of great importance. Our teachers were people of integrity. 

Whether it be mother, father and other family members or church and school teachers. The point was to teach truth not lies. Mary's fiat was based in her knowledge of truth. Her yes came from the knowledge of a loving God whom she also loved above all things. She knew her yes brought suffering just as the innocent victims of terrorism now in our times know that a yes to God means a certain hideous death. Why are people in our times still dying for the name of Jesus? Because God said, "I will write it in there minds and place it in their hearts." They know the love of God is far greater than this life on earth.

We are all given a soul at conception. Run, run, run as fast as you can but you can not out run your soul. Neither can you out run the love and mercy of Jesus or death itself. The Jewish people wanted and needed to be delivered from Pharoh and Egyptian slavery. We in this present time insist on being delivered from God and His law of love, into slavery of every kind. My next question can be answered by watching ten minutes of television news. 

The question is, "how are we doing?" If you don't think we are at a critical juncture in History then you have no sense of the need for correction. You will have no interest in this blog site or in the need for dramatic change. As culture we are legislating the death and moral decay of our children. I don't believe any other culture has found itself in this position. Whether you believe it is desperate or not depends on how prayerful you are. 

If God is in His rightful place in your life you will know the truth and have the freedom to see the situation as it really is and a strong desire to do something about it. And so this concept of women praying for those on the front lines of our society who also stand for truth, speak and teach it with all the life they have in them has been concieved. Our mission is to support in prayer, in love in hope. In the way we live our lives. 

We need to set the example of dignity through purity. As Pope Francis said to the millions of pilgrims in the Phillipines, "live in your hearts and live from your hearts." The heart is were Jesus resides, you will know the truth and that truth will set you free. You can in turn teach your neighbor how to regain their dignity as a human being. 

I have placed different prayers and ministries on this site that we can learn from and teach from. God is with us and time is wasting. 
Love be with you,
