Messages from Teresa and then John the Baptist: Simply Keep Going in Faith

Описание: Joyful Mystic Christian Hermit in a depletion and discouragement is reminded by Teresa of Avila and John the Baptist of great personal but universal helpful messages of truths of God to over come fear and fatigue through faith, and to simply keep going even if we don't know if what we are doing is God's will, but to pray and go in faith and love.

JCMH is reminded of how a couple or more reasons why she is called into Christ's Church despite humans having temporalized it with autocratic network of structure in many aspects, which followed upon the autocratic structure of society in Dark Ages and especially pronounced in Middle Ages and into Renaissance period. All that aside, a hermit of God is actually, truly, called by God and is to go out into the "desert" to seek greater relationship with God even if the "desert" is in the "mind" if the person cannot literally go to a distant "place. JCMH is reminded she did not write the books that she wanted to write and that John the Baptist was helping her, as was also Teresa with ideas and points of value, spiritually, to share. JCMH did one that was based on what they and others told her in June 1988. But there is much more now, of even lived experiences, yet JCMH gets sadly bogged down by the temporalization and ugliness that can result from autocraticism in the beautiful Church that Christ instituted, yet JCMH reminds that the MASS is yet of primary and glorious value, and nothing can take us from the Mass as that is God's Mass, Jesus' Consecration and Life and Death and Resurrection, and the Holy Spirit permeates throughout the Mass which is also in effect the stairway to heaven, and the consecration is the mystic portal showing us from the temporal into the mystical of eternal life.

JCMH is uplifted by reviewing these messages and is reminded yet again to stay clear as did others in history, who left the temporal Catholic world and heeded God's call to seek Him and His truth and to learn His pure Love in the desert--in whatever means that "desert" can be in our current lives. Read His Living Word and live by His Living Word, know that Jesus and all holy souls of God who are one with God in Pure Love are here to help us, to encourage us, and we can read their writings and not feel humanly alone, and know that the Holy Trinity Is, and IS within us always. We have His Pure Love in us, and we are to love and learn to love in His Pure Love, God above all things, others, and ourselves....with His Pure Love. JCMH is reminded that those who are insecure and more attached to the temporal, or need the temporal to build themselves and their security will continue to create more temporal attachments and depend upon the rules and protocols that are not Christ's creation, or even on traditions that are lovely in augmenting but can become the focus and purpose rather than Christ Himself or His Living Word Itself for us to live and love and follow. it takes courage and strength and a certain security, to not fear but to have faith, to know that the Lord is always with us and for us and swimming with us, or climbing with us, or whatever imagery or metaphor that helps us persevere in living our lives in holy seeking, striving, and loving the Holy Trinity and following God's holy narrow path way. Remember Jesus said, "Few are they who are on it" [the narrow path way of Christ that leads us from this temporal life into eternal life in Christ]. JCMH is struggling to be out of bed, but recognizes that even today's suffering of mind, heart, and soul has been utilized by Jesus for the sufferings of His Holy Church. Yet, had she caulked or grouted while suffering and praying and PRAISING GOD for calling her out from the autocratic temporal "net-work" that entangles so many, and even though swimming can seem so alone at times, and nebulous--there are many who are swimming and many holy ones of the past who were swimmers in life--swimming out into the deep of God's ocean of God's Pure Love. I have books of and by those holy ones that I can read or even to think of them when I need human spiritual encouragement of those people who successfully existed in this temporal world and the temporalized church, and in fact who helped make Christ's Church more spiritual than temporal, by their very lives, even if the influence is subtle. At least they lived and tried by living the spiritual life God wills and wishes for us all in following Jesus and His Word, Love and Beingness.
