DO ORDINARY THINGS WITH LOVE

Written at 12:15 p.m. at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:

How I long to be covered with His blood all over me - the precious blood of my Beloved, shed for our sins and the sins of mankind. I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church at 12:15, so eager to be there, filled with such emotion. This is my greatest, deepest feeling, to be here with my Love. My sacrifice is to do the ordinary things and drudgery, with love! I don't always love as I should. I must see beyond the person to an ideal self and to love them. I must see Christ in them - see how they reflect Christ. I need to quit focusing on myself. I do not need to explain!

A saint is one doing ordinary things with love - always love. We must keep our focus on Him. The world is dying in their hearts. The world is keeping children focused on excitement from the outside. It has games that appeal to all senses as a brainwashing technique. They keep the child looking for instant excitement from the outside. It is so intense, so exciting there that their bodies cannot even take it!

High, intense excitement - where does the child go to get the next fix, that which will feed this high level of gratification that they are not even looking for? Sex, drugs, etc.-what excitement comes after that? The devil has created these games and is brainwashing the hearts of the children. All that is sought is on the outside - the real source of life is within the heart.

God is the Source of life!

If the world can keep people focused on the outside, all they need can be found outside the body, excitement to satisfy the body beyond all comprehension. Where does a child go when they are given computers that talk to others on the other end of the world, games that isolate children and keep them in an intense state of self-indulgent gratification They reach such a level of intense gratification that they could kill? They have practiced combat - they have been there!

Children are taught intensity in video games. They are taught to respond in violence. There is intense noise, use of guns to kill. They are given intense situations.

God teaches us to love according to His will. God wants us to surrender and be led by the Spirit. The world is teaching youth, through the video games, to respond quickly with violence, aggressive behavior; they teach all who play them to respond quickly with anger to kill. Children have practiced these techniques. They have practiced killing quickly. How sick is this?

The games promote: reactive behavior, controlling behavior, pleasure, self-indulgent behavior, isolating behavior, focusing on the exterior, abandoning the interior heart, and violent behavior. The person playing the video games needs high levels of excitement.

Jesus showed us the way - Christ lived for 33 years a calm life, a carpenter's son, a family life. He gave Himself, gave His all and surrendered to the Father's will. He was always calm. He had peace in His Heart. He came in poverty. He left covered with blood.

Women were portrayed in the video game as nasty, with an ugly face and foul language. Mary is our model.

And Mary said:

"My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name." (Lk. 1:46-49)
