Messenger: Mystery unfolds
Mystery of our actions
jealousy
acting a certain way to block the
work because we are
jealous
We may do something entirely
unrelated and block
a deed that should be done
because of jealousy.
Here God say or our superior
"Why did you do that?"
What you did was unnecessary, our
leader may say
you began at the beginning
instead of doing what
needed to be done.
Do we even see ourselves and
our actions
Are we truthful to ourselves
why we act
pride, jealousy,
getting ahead, for
a special recognition.
With hands in the cookie
jar a person may
say "Oh I didn't
know I just
acted" and yet if they were truthful
to themselves they do know
in their heart they acted adversely
because of jealousy, pride.
The leader is looking at the
action of those asked
to perform a task
standing with their mouth open
not able to believe the
bizarre behavior
The other may lie to themselves and
just do what they want
out of jealousy,
pride etc. and then act
like they don't
understand when
questioned oh I don't
understand they say and they
may outwardly lie, they may live
untruth doing their evil
to have control
Subconsciously why do we
act?
How do our actions actually
block good work because
of our will to control,
we may disobey etc.
I have a picture of an action, of
a behavior and
I try to write about the disharmony
in words to one who desires
to aimlessly do their own will and
act like they don't do anything
different than was asked for
The mystery of behavior
and the one assigned 9 times out
of 10 changes the direction to
do it their way actually setting
everyone back because they
want control and want to not
follow directions
Jesus followed the directions of His
Father
Jesus is one with the Father
Jesus did His will
Then there is the element of falsity
of one who acts and lies to the
one in charge about their
actions
The action was not performed as
was desired by the leader
it set everything back and the
other may play "dumb" after
their actions were different
as if they did nothing, but
make up a new and different
way because of their lack of
docility and need to control
Jesus showed us how He acted in
accord with the Father's will
Our time here on earth is so short
A man can cause wasted time, energy and
set everything back because he
is controlling, disobedient to any
order given to him and plotting a
new path every time to map his
dominance over anyone directing
him
Now I see two men in a door conversing
I see the action that leads to completion
of the job God wants, but the other
because of willfulness walks all
around a big building instead of
going from point A to point B
he needs his dominance walking possibly
even backward, "ring around a rosy"
Look at God looking down on our
lives seeing us walking around
and around, bring in this person,
that person, doing bizarre
disharmonious actions
rather than the one wanted and
it actually causes a mess the path
satan would want us to take
rather than follow a simple direction
do it simply as one over another was
told to do.
God watches us
The time clicks always
People are over others
Our actions in our lives are like
a movie
We can't erase the movie to God
even though we can become
"top liars" to ourselves and others
about our actions
God's movie camera picks it up
perfectly and all our lies won't
change the movie film
All our lies won't change our motives
God knows every action and the purity
or lack of purity of it
God reads the heart
We have so much time here
What we want to do is God's will.
Jesus was here 33 years and accomplished
so much
He did His Father's will
He worked to do it
He put it in action with full
force total commitment
We may act like little bizarre football
players on the old vibrating boards
one just shoots off in the other
direction away from the
goal
You say he is a silly player
in real life if a director questioned
him why did you go off to the
other goal when we were all
huddled together going the opposite
way toward the real goal and
they answer and may be lying to the
man questioning and they can act
as if they are right and they can act as if
the head coach has a problem
really they may be a very
willful person in need of
being in charge
Christ had a public life of 3 years
look what He accomplished
He showed us the way
He set out to do the Father's will
When asked why a man did everything
he was told to do differently he
denied it, the results of the wasted
time, the people involved who were
affected by his willful actions and
the plan was totally averted because
he was habitual in his actions
to disobey and do such things
A director of a movie film watches
all the actions on the stage to
put on the picture
A man may see only out of his own
eyes
He sees the audience
He sees his performance as paramount
He doesn't see the whole purpose
of all on stage
He acts in selfish, bizarre ways to
get the stage
Another supporting actor of the lead,
may take the attitude he should
be leading and do bizarre things
to show the audience he is
the leader, when he needs to
step behind the main character
there is a push-pull action
going on as the "prideful supporting
actor" tries to get center stage
The director may feel like quitting or
if they are able -- fire the
lead or co-supporting person
because it is impossible to put
on the production with the attitudes
of the actors full of selfish,
self-promotion
They don't really see the movie as
it is to be played
They only want recognition and attention
for themselves
If the director left or the main
character became sick the
supporting actor may do it all
in his own selfish self
interest and
the play would be nothing as
it was intended
People in life are like this
Acting in pride and selfishness to
get the lead for themselves
Not seeing the whole picture
Actions performed for impure,
selfish reasons
The Divine director
films the play
the Movie is
Doing God's Will
We can play the parts like the
Spiritual Exercises says
all for the honor and glory of
God for our salvation and the
salvation of others
Or we can act imperfectly
doing our will opposed to
God's will - for pride, riches, affections
For our glory!!
We can try to promote our own
Kingdom, our glory, be
attached to many things against
God's will doing our deeds
for the wrong reasons
Oh the movie is running
It is the movie of our lives
The director is God
If we make roads of candy canes and
lollypops we are not following
in the path Jesus trod
He came and was here 33 years
He is one with the Father
The Divine Director
God the Father sent His Son in the
world
Jesus is the Perfect Son
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the firstfruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the firstfruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool,and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Messenger:
What more can I say
We must live in the truth
Examine our conscience
Work as one for the honor and
glory of God
Look at this picture
Everyone is the lead player
In the orchestra they all play a piece
they want How is the sound
to your ears Everyone has
a different tune played
by them
When I looked at the last Newsletter I
see how every picture, title work
as one
If we put it on the page, we may
put on one picture, one title,
one word NOT working as one
The artist always has the whole
thing working together as one.
A husband and wife can dance away
into the night as a dream
united.
A husband and wife can be so divided
it ends in divorce even though
there are children.
If we were given a thermometer, put
in our mouths that said, how
we acted in accord, in oneness
with God's will how would
our thermometer read
A child had dominating parents
when he was 18 he said
"Nobody will tell me what
to do again!"
He felt called to the priesthood, but
he could never allow himself
to be obedient to anyone
especially a superior or
bishop
So he didn't follow his vocation
He was miserable
Think of all the souls we can
affect by not doing God's will,
by not wanting to be under
anyone.
A husband and wife may get married and
she thinks oh, I don't like this
character in him, but I can change
him
little does she know that
character in him may get
stronger and he will "maybe" never
change and all the children
she has may act like him
Lets look at God's movie film of
us - in truth and pray
to be in the movie entitled
doing God's will
the stage is set
rehearsals last a life time
the final night
Our life here is over after that
How was our performance
Going in the store with mom and being
obedient and helping her can
be preparation for doing our
job in life later in harmony
and for the task at hand
A child standing on the counter at
the checkout and screaming, grabbing
candy fighting mom
may look like us sometimes
when Mary our Mother is telling
us to work in oneness to perform
a certain task and we
can scream, holler and
stand above everyone else
fighting to get ahead
Christ was here 33 years

LIFE
Christ entered our world as
a baby
Christ lived with Mary and Joseph
Christ died on the cross
doing the will of God the Father
Mary His Mother underneath
the cross
He shows us how He played
His part
With all His Heart
He gave Himself.
He did His Father's will to
His death
He ROSE TO
VICTORY
He ascended into
Heaven
the Mystery of Christ
Meditate on His life,
death and resurrection
in the Rosary
the New ADAM! !
He hung on the tree
He is the tree of life!
From Him all graces flow.
The Lamb that was slaughtered
for our sins of pride,
envy, etc.
He is the perfect SON of God!
He says to us
FOLLOW ME! !
I say as He said to me
"Where are you going?"
"What are you doing?"
WAKE UP
LOOK AT OUR Selves
See ourselves on this
stage of LIFE
Dare to see ourselves as
God is seeing us
now
Are we following Him
Are we docile?
Are we living in God's will?
Do we lie to ourselves?
