This is the spirit of the world

In the Scriptures we see how Jesus revealed Himself in the breaking of the bread after he had been talking for a long while with a couple of the disciples. They asked Him to come with them. There are so many people who have not yet had this revelation of our Lord, because until one wants the connection, or wants to do right, we are blind to the spiritual realm of God, and He does not impose Himself on us, He gave us free will to choose Him.

I used to think that God was long gone, that He didn't care about what happened to me, I blamed Him for everything, and I was focused on all of the bad things that were happening to me and in my life. I believed in God, but I did not understand that most of what happened to me was due to my human sinful response after the sins of others came to me. The problem is the more we sin and feel right about it, the farther we are from God. And Satan has his evil way with us, because we are lost and without that grace of God. Like a guilty child, we avoid our parents, God and Mary our Mother, and the darkness builds and engulfs us, and we don't even know it exists or that we are bringing so many dire consequences upon ourselves.

We learned from everywhere to see things from the human perspective, skeptical eyes. From our point of view, our behavior seemed right to us because we learned from everyone how little and how gone our God was, that we make our own life, that our opinion is just as good as the next person's, and we believed them all because it all made sense to us. Mostly it made so much sense because of the injustice that we see in the world, and those abuses that fell upon us. We were wounded and few people could see past our sins, unfortunately, which meant further rejection rather than Christian love and acceptance, which is the fertile ground for spiritual growth. We were judged and further taken advantage of, and somehow unbeknownst to us, we shared in doing our part in the dark world of sin, using others to try to meet our own needs.

At least, this is how I see things now, after making the choice to do things God's way whether I understand or not. Things have drastically changed and improved since learning about the truth of our Catholic faith. Through praying the Rosary, I've come to know my holy mother Mary and she has taught me about our Lord Jesus, the Christ. She is an amazing teacher if you will only give her the opportunity to do so in your life.

I don't know everything about our faith, I am a very simple person who just trusts Jesus and Mary, because of what happens in my life. I could never have the time to write of how many miracles my family has experienced over the past 2 years, things that I would have not been thankful for in years past except to find it curious and cool.

To anybody who thinks that God exists somewhere far far away, let me say start looking at things that seem like serendipity good luck or fortunate, fate, and coincidence, differently, and just begin to wonder if these things might possibly be from God, your Father; because you know something, He is really there for you, and this is a way that God communicates with us to get our attention. Give Him your attention and He will give you His grace. Seriously. It's all up to you.
