Continue to bless those who persecute you.

Romans 12:14.

How can we bless our persecutors?

By praying for them, imploring God to open the eyes of those who oppose us out of ignorance to the truth (2 Corinthians 4:4). It is true that it may seem strange to ask God to bless a persecutor. However, the more our mindset resembles that of Christ, the more we will be able to demonstrate love toward our enemies (Luke 23:34).

What results can we achieve by acting in this way?

Stephen prayed for his persecutors, and his prayer was not in vain. Shortly after Pentecost 33, men who opposed the Christian congregation arrested Stephen, dragged him out of Jerusalem, and stoned him. Before dying, Stephen cried out: “Jehovah, do not hold this sin against them.” (Acts 7:58–8:1) Among those for whom Stephen prayed that day was Saul, who had been present at Stephen’s murder, a murder he approved of. Later, the resurrected Jesus appeared to Saul. This former persecutor became a disciple of Christ, and then the apostle Paul, the writer of the letter to the Romans (Acts 26:12-18). In accordance with Stephen’s prayer, God evidently forgave Paul the sin of having been a persecutor (1 Timothy 1:12-16). It is therefore not surprising that Paul exhorted Christians to “continue to bless those who persecute you.” He knew by experience that persecutors can one day become servants of God.

Good evening,

There are many representations of the Virgin. Which one would be the most significant? Would it be, for example, the Virgin of Lourdes, or another one?
The Virgin has long since transcended form. She is pure energy and radiates a magnificent celestial beauty through her powerful light body.

To manifest her presence, her reality, or a special attention to a person who devotes all their faith to her, she may appear to them in various forms and in different ways, including in the way the person imagines her in their heart or in their dreams.

The quality of faith in this domain is essential, as it easily attracts the adored and venerated spiritual Being to oneself. Prayers and acts of devotion are also important. They not only purify the spirit and neutralize negative energies, but also foster the often invisible relationships between the Virgin and her worshipper.

Prayers or spiritual thoughts also connect you with the saints and the Archangels. The Archangel Michael, for example, who is a celestial Being of very great power, frequently manifests, especially in order to exercise his high spiritual protection.

Christ also manifests Himself very often through Jesus Christ.

It is very important to be able to adjust yourself to the vibration that is best felt through your heart. For some, this vibration will reach its maximum intensity with the Virgin, while others will feel more in harmony with other spiritual energies: Jesus Christ, a particular saint, an angel, a spiritual being of quality…

You can also ask for spiritual protection from one or the other of these great spiritual entities, depending on the circumstances or your wish at the moment. There is no jealousy here—in our spiritual world—nor any kind of preference. Each spiritual Being simply carries within itself its own vibration, its distinctive “color,” and thus emanates its personal “scent of holiness.”

The spiritual vibrations emanating from these great souls are like many gentle perfumes, one or another of which will often particularly attract you.

Hello,

Marylena, thank you for this chapel of hope.

I'm going to put my wishes in there, not all of them, of course, otherwise I'll flood this post! lol.

I wish for my friend to find happiness and to be happy living in this world, that he no longer has any anxieties, that the wheel finally turns in his favor, and that everything finally works out for him.

I want my friend to find the love she has been waiting for, the great, the true love, the one that will make her happy.

I would like a smile to be able to brighten everyone's life.

Kisses,
See you soon!

Hello,

Life is beautiful; it holds surprises, both good and bad.

She knows how to make beautiful gifts in the moments when we are at the crest of the wave…

I know that sometimes it is hard and very difficult to keep hope, to find the strength to get back up, to continue and/or to believe in love, in people, in your destiny; just think that there will be fine weather after the storm you have weathered.

But believe me, if you are good deep in your heart, in your soul, around you, that you do not become bitter, closed off, etc.

Life (God, the afterlife) vs. giving things. For example, if you are feeling very bad for reasons X and Y, pay attention to the signs that will help you put things in perspective, get back on your feet, or love people. Life is about feeling light again in this world full of fog. The sun is shining, and you must let yourself be guided by the light. Do it. Pray, meditate, digest.

But do not isolate yourself, never, because around you there will always be someone or something to guide you, love you, and direct you. Open your heart and do not drive away the love that dwells within you…
Be strong; time plays its part, but don't give it the time to destroy.

I am happy to share this with you, to say that if we are good, God is good, even if what He sends us may not look like what we expect, He is not going to do the work for us either.

Have a good day, everyone. Take care of yourselves so you can take care of others, but remember to set yourself aside for those who need you even more—that is universal love, among other things.

Peace for this day, may love guide your steps

Hello,

The power of a small prayer

You must imbue your prayers with the magical power of the ocean, the might of the thunder, the calm of a still lake, the directed fervor of a torrent, the gentleness of the breeze, the lightness of a pollen, the intransigence of fire, the concentrated strength of a stone, the flavor of a ripe fruit, the polish of a pebble, the freshness of the dew; a blaze of flowers blooms in your soul, rainbows spring from your soul and form a canopy of colors beneath which the angels pass: the angels of happiness

Marylena

Pray simply

Just being there. Without expecting anything.
Or rather: to expect everything from the One who gives himself in prayer.
Wasting one's time to earn his trust
To forget in order to find oneself again
Do nothing but let yourself be done
Stay silent to let him speak
Wait to understand
To understand is to know
To know is to love
To love and to wait…
Wait for what? Wait for who?
If it is not He who gives Himself in my prayer.
I'm at a loss for words, but He fills me up.
I am thirsty for You, and You satisfy me.
Open hands to better welcome, like
The One who, on the Cross, will never close them again.
Humbly, in silence, I approach You.
No, not to seize You—You are the Elusive One—but to smile at You.
You, who forgave your executioners,
Transform my selfish screen into a Cradle of Love
to give to others, to give to the Other.
Yes, just smile at you.
Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will sing your praise.
Smile to welcome better
To welcome in order to give
To give in order to love better
To love and then to smile…
Lord, fill my soul with Your Spirit.
Help me to always be more
the one who waits, the one who smiles, the one who loves…
May my heart be love as You are Love.
That I may thus be worthy to better serve my brothers,
to serve you better.
To pray, and to be there, simply.

There is immense happiness in making others happy despite our own circumstances.

Shared sorrow halves the pain, while shared happiness doubles the joy.

If you want to feel rich, count only all the things you have that money cannot buy.

Today is a gift, which is why it is called “present.”

There is immense happiness in making others happy despite our own circumstances.

2 Corinthians 1; 2 Corinthians 8; Psalm 32; Revelation 2:9; 2 Corinthians 8
Matthew 6; Song of Songs 2; Matthew 13; Luke 8; 2 Corinthians 4; 2 Corinthians 5; Hebrews 11; 1 Kings 17

Happy reading

Hello Marylena, are you the author of Maïté? 2000 Goddess.

So it is with the man who hoards a treasure for himself,

but who is not rich toward God.

Luke 12:21.

The expression “rich toward God” is also rendered as “rich in the eyes of God” (Contemporary English Version). Generally, those who are materially rich are concerned about how others perceive them. This is evident in their way of life. They want to impress their surroundings with what the Bible calls “the ostentatious display of their means of living” (1 John 2:16). In contrast, those who are rich toward God enjoy his approval and unmerited favor, and maintain a personal and close relationship with him. This precious intimacy gives them a sense of well-being and security far greater than material wealth could ever provide. — Isaiah 40:11.

Thank you to you who had this very good idea; my wish is to be able to help the people who come to see me, by having, above all, trust in me and in my gifts.

Lord, make me an instrument of peace!

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is offense, let me place forgiveness.
Where there is discord, let me bring unity.
Where the error lies, let me place the truth.
Where there is doubt, let me place faith.
Where there is despair, let me place hope.
Where there are shadows, let me cast your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.

Lord, that I may seek not so much to be comforted as to comfort, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.

Because it is by giving that we receive,
It is by forgetting oneself that one finds oneself,
It is by forgiving that we are forgiven,
It is in dying that we are resurrected to eternal life.

Saint Francis of Assisi

Have a good day
May peace and joy reign in your homes

The spring of her song passed in Galilee. :AMOUR:

He spoke of fields and green pastures, of the slopes of Lebanon where the white lilies care nothing for the caravanes passing through the dust of the valley.

He spoke of the wild heather that smiles at the sun and entrusts its incense to the passing breeze.

He says: "The lily and the heather live but one day, yet that day is eternity lived in complete freedom."

One evening, as we were sitting by a stream, he said to us: "Look at this stream and listen to its music. It will eternally seek the sea and, though it is always in search, it sings its mystery from dusk to dusk."
May you seek the Father as the stream seeks the sea.

Then came the summer of his rapture, and his love burned within us with the ardor of June. He spoke only of the next one—the neighbor, the travel companion, the stranger, and the childhood friend.

He spoke of the traveler who goes from the East to Egypt, of the farmer who returns home with his oxen in the evening, of the chance guest whom twilight has led to our door.

And he said: "Your neighbor is your unknown self made visible. His face is reflected in your calm waters, and if you look into it, you will see your own face."
If you listen closely at night, you will hear it speaking, and its words will be the beats of your heart.
Be to him what you would want him to be to you.

Then came the autumn of his passion.
He spoke to us of freedom, as he had done in Galilee in the spring of his song. But now, his words sought the depths of our understanding.

He spoke of leaves that sing only when the wind blows upon them, and of man as a cup filled by an angel to quench the thirst of another angel. But whether the cup is full or empty, it will remain crystalline on the table of the Most High.

He said: “You are the cup and you are the wine. Drink from yourselves, down to the dregs; or else remember me and you will be quenched.”

Khalil Gibran

Have a good day… Marylena

One evening, a pastor said rather worriedly to the doorman of his church:

• I am troubled by the fact that every day at noon, for weeks now, a poor old man in tattered clothes enters the church.
  I can see it from the rectory window: he makes his way to the choir, stays there only a few minutes, and then comes back out.
  This seems rather mysterious to me, and I am worried that there may be a theft or some damage.
  I would really like you to be able to question him.

The next day, and for several days in a row, the concierge verifies that indeed this poor visitor, around noon, enters the church for a short while, then leaves in no particular hurry.
He finally approaches her:

• Hello. I see you coming to church very regularly. Did you know that you are one of the most faithful parishioners?
• I came to pray, the old man said quietly.
• Come on! You don't stay long enough for that. You only go up to the altar and then you leave!
• That's right, the old man continues. But, you see, I don't know how to say a long prayer.
  Yet, I come every day at noon and simply say to him: "Jesus... it's Simon!"
  So I wait a minute and then I go back. It’s a little prayer, but I believe he hears me.

Shortly after, poor Simon is hit by a truck.
They are transported to the hospital. There, despite the staff's efforts, many patients are grumpy and irritable, complaining from morning till night.
But then one day, a nurse hears a burst of laughter; she is surprised and asks:

• What's going on? You're in such a good mood today, unlike anything I've ever seen!
• Oh, it's because of old Simon! He's in pain, he hurts, but he never complains.
  He is always cheerful, happy, and patient. He talks to each of us, listens, and gives us courage.

The nurse walks over to Simon’s bed:

• You have performed a miracle, you are the envy of everyone, you are always happy and cheerful, despite your pain. That's wonderful, thank you!
• How could I not be, Simon replied, it is thanks to my visitor, it is he who makes me happy day after day.
• Your visitor? But, Simon, no one ever comes to see you; you are alone from morning till night. I have met no member of your family and no friend. So when does he come?
• Every day at noon, Simon replies in a burst of joy. He is standing there, at the foot of my bed.
  I see it, and he always says: "Simon... it's Jesus!"

Hello everyone,

Given the unfortunate events that have just occurred in Japan, I would ask you all to unite in prayer and light candles of solidarity and love.
Thank you

Marylena

To my little brother who left us against the will of God our Father and who leaves me and my family in this unexplained sorrow. I forgive you and I hope that you will also forgive me for not having been able to protect you from this life of darkness. May our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Virgin Mary, and my guardian angel give me the opportunity to help you in prayer and in faith, or through a providential encounter. May our Lord be our guide to all and that He bless us. In joy or in sorrow, have faith!

If you are having difficulties, here is a psalm that will bring you relief.
and will help you overcome your problems

I have made God my refuge
How could one say to me:
Flee, little birds, to the mountains!
For the wicked bend their bow,
they nock their arrows,
to disparage right-wing courses.
When the foundations are overturned,
What can the righteous do?
God is in His Holy Temple;
God? His throne is in the heavens.
His eyes observe.
From his gaze, he weighs human beings.
God delights in the righteous
He hates the villain and anyone who loves violence.
May it rain fire upon the wicked!
Fire, sulfur, scorching wind,
Such is the portion that the wicked share!
God? He loves uprightness,
And upright men can look him in the face.

Have a good day, everyone

Supermarket of the Sky
A 2-minute read.
Read this story and follow the instructions at the end.
As I was walking down the road of life a few years ago, I came upon a sign that read: "Supermarket of Heaven." As I approached, the doors opened and I realized I was inside. I saw angels; there were angels everywhere. One of the angels handed me a basket and said, "My child, shop well."
Everything a human needed was in that store, and if you couldn’t carry it, you could come back for it. First, I took some Patience. Love was on the same shelf. A little further down was Understanding. You need that wherever you go. I took a box or two of Wisdom. Faith, a bag or two. Charity, of course, I’ll definitely need some. I couldn’t miss the Holy Spirit; it was everywhere. And then some Strength. Some Courage to help me in this race. My basket was filling up nicely. But I remembered that I needed Grace. Then I took some Forgiveness; Forgiveness was free. I took quite a lot, for you and for me. Then I headed to the checkout to pay my bill. I think I had everything I needed. In one aisle, I saw Prayer, and I knew I’d need some when I left. Peace and Joy were in phenomenal quantities. The last thing on the shelf, Hymns and Psalms were there, so I didn’t hesitate.
Then I said to the angel: "How much do I owe you?" He smiled and said: "Take all of this with you wherever you go!" Once again I asked him: "Really, now, how much do I owe you?" "My child," he said, "God paid your bill a long time ago!"
