                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.
