Look what happened in those 3 years
(the public life of Jesus).
God the Father wanted Jesus to have
3 years of public ministry.
Jesus came to teach about love, purity,
kindness.
Think if Jesus was subject to
evil mistreatment His whole life,
God the Father allowed Him to have
a private life.
True love is not jealous
True love is kind and forgiving
True love is not self-centered,
but other centered
True love gives
True love does not blame others for
weaknesses of oneness
True love helps all to be one
True love does not have a scapegoat
Jesus was the scapegoat for men's sins
Jesus was hung on the cross by those He loved
In the perfect act of loving Jesus gave
Himself on the cross for the sins
of the human race.
Dear God please outpour Your grace so men
will know the love of God —
Dear God please outpour Your grace
so men will obey the commandments
and be kind, loving and forgiving
Jesus didn't rush the passion
Jesus endured it for men's sins —
But Jesus' public life only lasted 3 years.
This was the will of the Father —
God allows our suffering to last so long
The love I know is the love Jesus gave me
when He died for me on the cross.
The love I know is the love God gives
me in His Church, the priest, the
sacraments — Jesus truly present
in the Eucharist.
When the world becomes more evil — the ways of
God do not change —
the commandments are the same
love is the same
God is
He never changes
Some are so aggressive —
Some are so focused on themselves —
Some want to be better than every one else for their life
here below
To be like God is to love
To be kind
To be other focused
To follow structure
Not to blame someone else unjustly
for your own anger inside —
lack of love
Mary said
The Magnificat
Her soul magnifies the Lord
Mary was pure
Mary always lived to please the Father
Mary's heart is a heart of love
To do all things for the honor and glory
of God — not vain glory
To want peace and oneness and want
men to have eternal salvation —
Jesus died for all souls
Purity of Motive
Why do you do something?
For true love?
For the honor and glory of God?
To promote peace and unity?
To be like Jesus is to love —
The 2 Hearts of Jesus and Mary are the
2 Hearts of perfect love
Jesus bled on the cross —
Jesus was born in poverty —
Jesus had 3 years for His public life
What did He do the other years?
How would I write His life?
Jesus' sufferings were great at birth and
His Passion.
A person is advanced in the spiritual
life depending on how they love
and forgive.
A person who doesn't forgive — at least
praying for those who offended them —
praying for their soul — carries anger
and baggage inside — everywhere they go.
This does not mean we have to be best buddies
with people who hurt us — we live by
God's will — We do as God wills us to
now — associating with who God wants
us to — to accomplish His work for
His honor and glory, but we don't give
into satan creating a case against
somebody that makes us angry inside
and unable to do God's work — or
satan is controlling us and stopping
us from loving and doing God's
work.
We always want God's will and work for
it forgiving and loving, being
about our business — not overdoing
it for someone who is trying to
control us through anger,
pride, manipulation — A person giving
into satan and being used by satan to control
us — We may suffer tremendous persecution —
We must keep doing God's will for us —
Our actions depend on what God wants
us to do — not on how others hurt
us, or treat us
We do God's will always — even
when suffering inside — We are
always at peace — pleasing God
Peace is found in the heart in
doing God's will for His honor and glory.
