"The Father and I are One" (John 10:30)

Jesus the Son and God the Father are, but one united in an inseparable bond of love, by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is glorified and praised in the Father and the Son.

The Holy Spirit is the power and authority of God.

God functions and operates through the working of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the emotion, motion, action, words or any movement of the Father and the Son. As a whole the Holy Spirit is the 'Life' of God.

He is by Himself God in unity with the Father and the Son.

Just like a human body, with heart, brain but no life is really death.

The brain think but God's Spirit gives the brain a mind.

So what we think and plan to do is spiritual, thus it had direct or indirect impact on our souls and human spirits.

The heart, soul and mind or body, soul and spirit are all unique personality of any person. By these elements that God had given to us, we are raised above all other creatures that had been molded by His own 'Hands', in the beginning of time when God created the whole world and everything in it.

"The Father and I are One" is a great mystery of which human limited mind could never grasp or understand and shed light.

Even a simple act of God cannot fully be understood, what more to say the whole personality of God.

But God demanded that we be completely like Christ in order to be able to enter the Kingdom of God. How can this be possible, if we don't understand or know the mystery of Jesus and the role He played?

Jesus never leaves His perfect and divine plan half-done. He never leaves us somewhere in time and situation and never come to our rescue.

So He promised the Holy Spirit, which is the power and authority of God to us. His Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit that had conquered death by His resurrection, of which no man had ever done. But Christ through His perfect love and obedient to the Father, had conquered the impossible. The elements in Him that needed to receive praise and glory, is His human body which was completely obedient and submissive to God. His human spirit that had never tries to free itself from the Spirit of God, but instead united in an inseparable bond of love. The human will and spirit of Jesus Christ submitted to the Divine will of God. By this inseparable bond of love and co-operation, Jesus in body, soul and spirit united with God's Spirit is God. Therefore comes the term Jesus is truly God and truly Man.

The Holy Spirit that had guided and enable the victory of Jesus as man to be possible is also truly dwelling in the hearts of all people who are called into a renewed life. If Christ's Spirit is with us, we will think as Christ think. We will do us Christ would have done or what He had done. We may not be like Jesus as son of a carpenter and Mary but we all have different jobs and professions. Off course Jesus had never worked in a profession field that is worldly in nature, this does not mean that we too must never venture into that profession. For God continue His plan of creature, invention, construction, renewal, growth in the mind of those who are consecrated. We had to make our works into a vocation in order to be pleasing to Him. Vocation is a participation of God's plan and submissive to His will. God continues His works of invention, creation, renewal and growth in the mind of mankind, in the heart and effort of mankind. Those who builds are of God, but those who destroy are of the devil and his evil forces of darkness. What was good and pleasing to our human pure nature are what belongs to God. In contrary what is pleasing towards the sinful, evil natures in us is of the devil and his evil forces. So it is true with what displeases the pure human nature is what is evil and what is displeasing towards our sinful nature is what belongs to God. The two human natures in us are always rebellious toward each other. The devil wants to conquer our heart and dwell there, but the pure nature in us only want God and His Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will guide us from truth to truth. As we dwell in God's Grace, He will guide and strengthen us with His wisdom and knowledge.

From truth to truth means that God's Spirit which is the Spirit of the Father and the Son, bonded in an inseparable union, will reveal Himself from stage to stage. Just like a child of kindergarten will not be taught from books of those in secondary school. But from elementary, intermediate and advance. God revealed Himself this way to us too. He would usually use natures, a situation, condition, events, creatures, its instincts, behaviors, etc and if we are wise, we will take this opportunity to reflect. By reflection God spoke to us in a silent voice that was channeled through our hearts, called the revelations of God in the prompting of the Holy Spirit. He would come in a very humble voice but if we are too proud, this precious voice would be humbled off. Then we cannot blame, that God did not reveal Himself to us. But God would still reach out to them through many different channels until He could hear God's voice. God may use His Instruments to reveal Himself to that particular person.

In prayer guided and move by the Holy Spirit, we would know immediately, without error, whom to address our prayer to, whether to the Father, Son or to the Holy Spirit or to the saints, etc. Prayer guided and move by the Holy Spirit might comes in the forms of hymns, songs, words, etc that were repeated all over again in a continues echo, until we got the message of God right. These are some of the ways, channel and means whereby God builds His real life relationship with mankind. All things will be channels through Jesus Christ, God's only Begotten Son. The truth is no one can come to the Father, but through Jesus Christ.

Faith is the fundamental and crucial element that is demanded of us, as creature of God in order to be able to reach out to the 'Hands' and 'holds' of God without slipping down. We need to put our whole hearted trust in God, the ultimate weapon for spiritual growth. Where He leads us, we will go, what He gives us we will receive gratefully, what He wished to take, we will give, what He refused to give, we will accept and the list goes on. We needed to be like 'little children' depending on God to provides and to accept His training, chastisement of love, etc.

Faith is a great Christian virtue. Through it, we surrender and allow God to have freedom to sanctify and transform us.

Faith needed to be strengthened and to grow. It needed to be exercised. It is the powerful weapons against the devil. If we had the weapons of which we receive through faith but, we cannot see what to target, is useless. Gifts of faith are the opening of our spiritual senses, especially of sight. By this opening we enter into the Kingdom of God.

The Blessed Trinity is but One God divided in the different roles they played.

They all function in co-ordination, co-operation, love, in a non-rebellious ways, each complementing each other. Each person, functions to its perfection and give provisions for each others. Each glorifying and praising one another. In the Scripture, Jesus would not glorify Himself but the Father and the Spirit. The Spirit praise and glorify the Son, so is the Father, giving all His support, love and power to the Son.

The love of God is infinite and unconditional. God goes overboard and beyond human justice. He put His heart and spirit into His plan of salvation.

All graces that we receive from God are unmerited, but He loves us so much that out of the throne of glory and splendor, He entered into time and limitation of space. He had to abide and be enclosed by the law of nature. He came and dwell among slaves of sins. Mankind after the fall had not been able to set themselves free from the grip and hold of the devil and the world. God came down, became flesh who was called Jesus Christ. His flesh was anointed by God to be the Tabernacle for His Son.

Jesus as Son of God, came down to set us free from spiritual and eternal death.

During Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, entered into the womb of Mary, where the ovary was fertilized by the Holy Spirit. There, God took the flesh that came from the womb of hers. Therefore the Immaculate Conception had to be applied. Mary had to be pure and spotless. It was the spotless flesh of Mary that God took flesh. The New Adam and New Eve in contrary to the fallen and weak Adam and Eve.

"Do you not believe Philip, that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I have spoken to you," Jesus said to His disciples, "do not come from me. The Father, who remains in me, does his own work.

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. If not, believe because of the things I do."

John 14:10-11)

Philip requested Jesus, the Son of Man and of God to show them His own Father whom Jesus always glorified.

The common element between the Father and the Son is that they both share the same Spirit.

God is the source of all lives in heaven, earth, purgatory and even the world below owed its existence to Him. The devil was once a very bright and brilliant Archangel of God. When He was still with God in heaven, he received all the blessing, power and authority from God. Once He was caste down to hell far away from the Kingdom of God, his destiny is in the hand of God. He still had to comply, abide or follow the rules set forth by God. In no way, he can ever snatch anything from God's Hand. When God sat down, he may be mischievous, but when God stood up, even before He spoke, the devil is no way to be seen.

God is the source of all holiness, goodness, righteousness, truth, wisdom, light, perfection, love , life, etc.

As St. John said very clearly, the Word that is Jesus Christ was always with God as the "I am who I am".

No one created the Divine Nature of Jesus Christ. He was, is and will always be united in the One Godhead.

The Divine Nature of Jesus is the "Alpha and Omega". Nothing was ever created without Him. No plan of God was ever hidden from the 'Word of God', that is the Divine Nature of Jesus Christ.

All mission of God is participated by the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

God Himself wanted to save mankind, so He Begot a Son. When He Begot a Son, He became a Father. The Divine Nature of God took the form of a human being, in the womb of Mary and was called Jesus.

Joining with Christ as Son of Man and of God, we become sons and daughters or Children of God.

It was Christ Jesus who raised us up from being just mere creatures of God, gives mankind the dignity, we do not deserved, after the fall, to be adopted back into God's family once more.

In the beginning of creation, God took some soil from the ground, shaped and molded us into figure of who we are now. Blew into that lifeless figure, the 'Breathe of Life'. Human became a living being with body, soul and spirit.

The Son of Man is a perfect human being, with emotion, feeling, fear, happiness, joy, determination to face challenges in lives, experiences the up and downs of life, etc. As a perfect human being, without a spot of sin, can He ever experience the consequence of human fallen natures, like sickness, failures, anger, etc?

If ever He had to go through, it was because God, permitted Him to taste the sorrow and agony of human fallen natures, so as to share in mankind's suffering. By Himself, pure, holy, unblemished, spotless and completely obedient, He deserved done of them.

Jesus Christ would never allow His human nature to overpower His Divine Nature. He let God reign and take center stage in His human life on earth.

God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit are dwelling powerfully in Jesus as Man on earth.

God is concealed in the flesh of Jesus Christ. The Blessed Trinity manifested Himself and enclosed in the flesh of Jesus, to enable Him to function in a supernatural ways.

Even though the three persons, in their Spirit are in Jesus as Man, yet as God He can still be every where.

During the 'Transfiguration', God concealed Jesus human flesh, overpower it, open up the eyes of the Apostles to enable them to see the awesome phenomena. With the spiritual sights of the Apostles fully opened in a click of second, the Kingdom of God was revealed. The voice of the Father was heard, the Spirit of God, was moving and the Son, was fully in the presence of the prophets, who were direct participants of God's plan of salvation.

During the 'Walking of Jesus on the water', the human Jesus was overpowered by His Divine Nature. The spiritual law of God is above and far superior to the law of physical nature. It was the spiritual law that brings about the existence of physical law. Since Jesus was taken and overpowered by God, He walked on the water in order to rescue them. The Apostles could not recognize the new figure of Jesus. This figure would continued to be a mystery to the Apostles. After the resurrection of Jesus from the death, He appeared to all the disciples. But none of them recognized Him. Firstly they were too grief stricken, that their minds were all closed to the possibility of Christ's resurrection. Faith in the words of Jesus had sunk down to mere dreams. Secondly the resurrected body of Jesus was transformed and glorified. This figure was so wholesome, full of the glory and power of God than the one still enclosed in the flesh.

The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are bonded together in an inseparable bond of Divine love. Where bone and marrow form so is soul and spirit meets no one knows. They are living in, with and through each other.

We may put the Father as first, in position, Son as second and Holy Spirit as third position or person, but the divine truth is that they are equal in power and authority.

'Believe, because of the things you saw', Jesus told Philip. As a mere human being, He did not have any supernatural power. The human Jesus without God, cannot perform any miracles, forgiveness of sins would be a blasphemy and fruitless, His words of power and authority would bear no significant or touch the hearts of mankind.

"My Father has given me all things. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him."

Matthew 11:27

God had every right to reveal Himself to anyone, as He wishes and pleases. He revealed Himself through the 'Sanctifier ', who is the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is dwelling with mankind through the Holy Spirit, the fruit of His love. His passion and death and finally His resurrection, had brought forth this mystery into reality.

Without Jesus as Son of God and God Himself coming down, prepare rooms in our hearts for Himself to dwell, the Holy Spirit would never be able to come into mankind's' sinful and disobedience hearts.

The coming of Jesus as Son of God into the world as Son of Man was to prepare the world to accept God into their lives.

As man, He belonged to our human race. Jesus invites all of us to be joined into His own glorified human body, so as to be truly united with God in the Blessed Trinity.

Inside the 'Mystical Body of Christ', we are all call to join with Him to worship and submit to the will, power and authority of God.

With Jesus, we becomes Children of God, so co-heirs with Him, of the Kingdom of heaven

Only in Jesus, with Jesus and through Jesus can we ever call God, 'Our Father'.

He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive Him, because it cannot see Him or know Him. But you know Him, because He remains with you and is in you.

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.

(John 14:17, 26)

The world cannot receive Him, because it cannot see Him. He is not saying that it is impossible for man to receive Him, but rather that if we had our eyes and value fixed on the world, no matter how hard we try to search for God's Spirit, we can never find Him.

He is not what the world expected. He functions above worldly knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

In order to be able to sense the presence of God through, by and in the working of the Holy Spirit, our minds and hearts must be completely open to God. His Spirit would draw us to the Father and to the Son. The role and purpose of the Holy Spirit, is to bring us to God. No one can inherit the Kingdom of God unless God stamp of ownership, that is the Holy Spirit is dwelling in us.

By restricting our belief only in things, situations or condition, etc that the human mind together with its wisdom can grasp is a great obstacle and handicap for God to reveal Himself through the working of the Holy Spirit (grace).

By this foolishness of mankind, the devil can continue to deceive mankind. Faith is a fearsome weapon of which the devil would try hard, to prevent us from reaching, holding and using them.

Faith is the entrance to continuous gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The devil was given glory and power, because mankind had given to them. The decision that Adam and Eve had made, led to the beginning of the reign of the devil in the hearts of mankind.

After the death of Jesus, where a new and everlasting Covenant was sealed with the blood of the 'Lamb of God', Jesus undid what our fallen parents had done.

God Spirit is the Spirit of power, creation and the whole universe are sustain by His Word. It is the Spirit of love, peace, joy and authority.

Just like the rain coming down from the sky had to fulfill its purpose before returning to the sky again, so is the Word of God.

God will, have to be fulfilled once it comes out of the mouth of God, before it returns to God.

Jesus Himself is the Word of God, who had watered the earth and served His purpose, before He returns to God.

In contrary the devil refused to work in co-operation with the will of God, therefore they would be excluded. The divine truth is that God knew that Adam and Eve would fall away from God, but the devil did not know that it was him (devil) that leads mankind to the fall.

Before creation God held a great meeting in heaven, where all the Archangels and angels which served different purposes were gathered. God told them of His plan of creation, in which He needed the participation of all the angels concerned. God needed their co-operation freely.

God mentioned that after the fall of mankind, a Savior would come down from heaven to save them. God knew that no one from among the fallen creature would be able to bring about the rise again.

So once God said that He would be incarnated into human flesh, to dwell among the fallen creature, there arose great anger and the beginning of sabotage from among one of the Archangels together with the armies of his supporters.

God also mentioned that all the angels were to worship Jesus as Son of Man, together with God. God and Man, are to become one in Jesus Christ. For the dark angel and his followers, this is the most absurd, plan of God.

Angels are supposed to be superior in term of their knowledge, understanding and wisdom. For them to worship Jesus in the flesh of fallen creature, is too much for them. They rebelled fiercely, but God's Word and plans are final. He willed it, so it shall be done.

Therefore darkness had no place in the zone of light. They therefore lived apart from God. They try to deceive mankind, as a revenge on God and his great envy for God's height and concentration of His love for mankind as revealed in God's plan of salvation.

The devil operates in the world in the beginning of human existence, today and the time that is to come until God pronounces the end of all battles. By the sound of the final trumpets, the victory Christ had accomplished for all chosen people of God is complete. All Children of God shall fully enter into His glory to be united with the saints, angels and together in, with and through the Spirit of Christ, journey toward God.

Supernatural powers that does not have it source in God are all evil and from the devil. For all supernatural powers in whatever forms of operation, whether in saints, angels or God' Instruments on earth, have to come from God.

In the world today we can hear of supernatural happenings that human minds cannot grasp and the mystery remains such. People of the world are indifferent about whether this comes from God or the devil. For them it does not matter. This is one of the deceits of the evil forces of darkness. When we are indifferent, they are gaining power. For example there was a very dangerous regime that the country was very fearful about. The head of the armies is mounting attacks against the army of that country. The people of that country were not co-operative. They were indifferent about the whole warfare. They does their job and daily routines as usual. They let the army to do their part, but they refused to co-operate in the plans of their army head. Regardless of this great obstacles, the wars were going on. If the defense force fell, the whole country would be taken over by the dangerous regime.

Although the Kingdom of God is destined to reach its final victory, but still the battles are not over yet, although the wars had already ended, when Christ died for us.

We are to co-operate with God in this final battles. So as Christ had risen, so would all those who had struggle together with the army of God, would rise, in our glorified body to dwell fully in the Kingdom of God.

When we were baptized, we received the Holy Spirit, an infant spirit that needed growing and be nurtured.

Only when it grew and mature, can it stand the wind, sun and its heat, the rain and storms, pests, etc.

Through all the words, miracles and manifestation of God to the disciples of Jesus, still they deny Jesus and doubted Him. The Spirit that Christ gives to them by His manifestation of His Divine Nature in Him was not able to continuously sustain them. Only until the human sacrifice of Jesus' body took place, whereby a perfect human being was finally found, the 'Lamb of God' was offered, from that moment forth the bondage of which the devil had chained them in their hearts and minds were broken. In their freedom from the power of the devil, they are able to fully worship God by inviting Jesus victorious Spirit, personally in their lives.

Their faith continued to grow, matured and bears plenty of fruits as seen in our time.

Christ had won and the battles are all puts forward to each of us personally. The Apostles had won too, so are all the martyrs and saints, what about us?

We cannot have the world's spirit and God's Spirit all mixed up. In order to excel, we have only one choice, God or otherwise. God's values cannot work in co-operation with the values of the world. Both rebel against one another, dragging the souls along. The souls would directly or indirectly suffer or gain by our will and decision.

"He will give me glory, because he will take what I say and tell it to you"

John 16:14

The Holy Spirit is glorified in the Father and the Son.

The Holy Spirit fully knows the depth of God's heart and plan.

He knows the mission and vision of God. He is called to fulfill and accomplish that missions and plans.

Jesus as 'Lamb of God' had died. The Holy Spirit is here to fulfill and make Christ's death worthy and fulfilled in God's Children.

The Holy Spirit, gives glory to the Father and the Son and vice versa.

Jesus is trying to tell the people to accept the operation of the Holy Spirit. He is Christ's alive in our world today. He told the disciples that He had to return to the Father, through and by the power of the Holy Spirit draws all man to Himself. If Jesus continues to be in this world as a human being, even in His glorified body, still He cannot be everywhere or omnipresent.

Only God is every where, in heaven, earth and the world below, whereby the devil cannot possess this power and authority. The devil can be where God permits them to dwell and operate. They dared not go into the present of God.

As only God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, Jesus as glorified man had to travel in, with and through this channel to reach out to all the people of the world. In Jesus, with Jesus and through Jesus' human nature was introduced into the Trinity. That was the Divine plan and mission of God to make us truly one in heart, soul and spirit, in unity with that of Christ as a human being, to be one with God.

The Holy Spirit gives us faith in order that the veil that blurred us from the vision of God to be removed. In faith, our spiritual senses would be awakened as the Kingdom of God is opened.

Jesus gives the power and authority on earth that was His to the Holy Spirit to continue with the sanctification process of drawing mankind to Himself.

"I am telling you the truth," replied Jesus, "that no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit".

John 3:5

Therefore sacramental elements of water, etc are crucial in order that a person can receive the Holy Spirit and His gifts.

Mere rituals are useless, but outward sign must accompany inward grace.

God would give all the fullness of grace, if we submit and allow Him to.

The outward signs should be the reflection or the expression of our hearts and its desires.

We needed to be reborn of the water as our desire that comes from the depth of our hearts and of the Spirit, which is our response to His love.

God surely would not starve any person with hunger and thirst . But like the Samaritan woman at the well, God would give us life-giving water, abundantly and overflowing for others who would come to us to draws from our mini well of which God is the source of the living water.

This water is the Holy Spirit. Our souls thirst for God's Spirit, like a deer long for water. Like a dry desert longs for rain to falls.

With God's Spirit dwelling in us, which is God's Himself, we therefore enters into God's Kingdom.

Our hearts are tiny Kingdom of God. It comes into effect upon our consent and freewill only.

For the Spirit that God gives you does not make you slave and cause you to be afraid; instead the Spirit makes you God's Children and by the Spirit's power, we cry out to God, "Father! My Father!" or "Abba! Father!"

This is the way God the Son in unity with the Son of Man address or calls the Father.

It is a filial and intimate calling, exclusively reserved for Jesus alone. But because Jesus decided to give us His Spirit, we who are recipient of His Spirit shall be united with Jesus to call God as Christ called Him.

Human are creature of God meant to worship and praise Him with our whole hearts, souls and our minds. Giving all our desires, will and strength to serve Him, His purpose and will.

By this we ought to seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness. Its knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

Jesus answered him, "Whoever loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and my Father and I will come to him and lived with him".

John 14:23

The teaching of Christ, had been revealed to the Apostles, the crucial and highlight parts written in the Gospels and the epistles of St. Paul, etc.

But they are continuously revealed through the Holy Spirit in the Church and individually.

Jesus wants not merely community relationship but most of all, personal.

Like a physical human family, whereby parents not only want harmony and love among our siblings but they wants a filial relationship with their children personally.

He wants to be part of our lives and share His love, peace and joy of heaven with us. He wants to transform ours into a divine one. The joy, love and peace that merely come from our human hearts and spirits are inadequate and temporary.

The 'Cross' of the whole world, He had carried in victory. Christ had let God overpower His human nature, together with His body, soul and spirit.

The victory Christ had won needed to be experienced by us personally. We can never fully experience His Victory unless God's Spirit had conquered all our weak and sinful spirits. Only if all are fully delivered and detached from earthly things, like the human Jesus, then the Kingdom of God can be fully established in us. With the Kingdom of God empowering our lives, we share the victory of Christ. This is the cross all had to carry. The cross of struggling with temptation in order to make Christ promises worthy. Christ promised to make a home in our heart. To have Jesus at home is our lives in crucial for salvation to take place. This is heaven in our hearts, although we are still in exile on earth.

Obedient and submissive to God is by itself the working of the Holy Spirit in us. As Christ knocks on each of our doors, wanting to dwell in each one of us, we either open or close it. If we open the door to Him, He enters and introduces Himself and His plans to us. He cannot be static forever in the sitting room, but He wants to share our chores, troubles, worries, joy, hope, missions and plans, etc.

'But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.

There is no law against such things as these.

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature, all its passions and desires.

The Spirit has given us life, He must also control our lives.

We must not be proud or irritate one another or be jealous of one another'.

(Galatians 5:22-25)

The Holy Spirit is not solely about power and authority.

The Holy Spirit dwells in a humble, simple and welcoming heart of mankind.

The Holy Spirit sanctifies or reveals to us the ways and nature of God.

He also enables us to live according to His ways and nature.

He will enlighten and reveal to us, God's inner secret, of how to conquer sin and temptations.

The Holy Spirit feeds the souls and gives it the vitality, zeal, strength, courage and ability to choose what to assimilate and what to reject.

The Holy Spirit in us helps us to pray by uniting with our souls and human spirits, transforming them into a powerful union, seeking God with an outstretched hands. God the Father and God the Son, together with the communion of angels and saints embraced all of us in an inseparable bond of love in the union of the Blessed Trinity.

The Holy Spirit helps us to overcome our sinful natures and desires.

Transforming what is evil, tainted and sinful into what is holy and acceptable to God.

Through God's eternal Spirit, God the Father and God the Son, enters into the hearts of man. The hearts of mankind are gateway and the decisive part to conquer, by our pure human nature in unity with God.

The Blessed Trinity enters, enlightens our hearts and minds, gives us the courage and strength not only to resist temptations but most important, deliverance of our souls, hearts and minds from the slavery and bondage of the evil one.

They enter and uprooted what the devil had planted. Even the seeds and young plants and seedlings sown, nourished by the evil ones are to be picked, uprooted, discarded and burnt off by the fire of deliverance.

God after the churning, preparation of soil, rid of all stones, infertile soil and useless matters, begins to plant in us the seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, self-control and all goodness.

The Spirit has given us life and He must also be given the right, power and authority to control our lives.

We must not be proud and irritate one another.

We must not be jealous of what others have.

We must be grateful and complacent of what we have.

We must make full use of what we have, whether natural talents or supernatural gifts.

Our earthly position, power, authority, trust, assets, necessities, etc must be used wisely according to the will of God, in order that they would bring blessings to our souls.

God is the Divine Providence of our spiritual and physical needs, so whatever we had in this world are just entrusted to us to be share among the less fortunate and the 'little ones' of God. In this world we are consecrated, instruments and servants of God in many countless ways.

We may be consecrated to provides for the needy in term of employment, food, necessities, sharing our times with others, lifting and sharing their burdens, sorrow, giving a listening ears, giving advice and courage to the downtrodden, etc.

But the most important of all is the spiritual needs of our weak and fallen brothers and sisters on earth.

God gives us different gifts of the Holy Spirit, in full package but we must have knowledge of what is God's main mission for each of us or God's will for each of us. Then we will be able to work towards its fulfillment. Even this we need to have the gifts of knowledge and discernment.

Among all the gifts of the Holy Spirit, love is highest form of gifts. Even if we have all the power and authority of God, without love this means nothing.

Therefore all the calling, vocation, obligations, etc towards one another must be out of love that derive its source from God, not our selfish human hearts and ways.

All the different gifts of the Holy Spirits are given to us to build the Kingdom of God, not destroy it by our pride, arrogant, self-praise and worship, etc.

For our personal sanctification and for others, that is for God to pour His Spirit in order to enrich our lives and the lives of all those whom God had gathered, like sheep and lamb to their shepherd. The shepherd of God had no food of his own but the food that was provided by Christ, the True Shepherd of God's flock.



Praise the Lord. Amen.
