Don't overly concern yourself with the demon of fear that has been unleashed. Jesus Said “Fear not “ if We Trust in Jesus…follow his teachings and pray. Satan should tremble. Psalm 23:4, Luke 12:25, Romans 8:38-39, Matthew 10:28. We need not fear Jesus with his unfathomable divine mercy. That He so much would love to give all of us.

 

See in Luke 21 this is on the way some day. Is it now, I don’t know? But God could call us at anytime. We should be ready and packed for the journey. We are not promised tomorrow. Consider going to reconciliation John 20:21-23, Acts 3:19, Psalm 46:1-3. It’s a wise decision to be in the state of Grace then satan can not temped us so easily. Make an act of contrition until you can get to a confession. Consecrate yourself to the Immaculate Heart of Jesus and Mary. Pray the Rosary and chaplets daily. Also if possible do some fasting, make sacrifices, attempt to change your life. Get to mass and receive the Holy Eucharistic. In case God dose call sooner then we think. I have read many of the saints went to confession monthly or even weekly.

 

Luke 21: 36 Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.

 

Well I think if we really do repent and do a true reconciliation / confession. We will do well with standing before Jesus. I would think. I know I have been in many tribulations and some I did poorly and some I did well. But I try to get to reconciliation often. I think now with all that is happening lately. I need to up the times I go to keep my spiritual strength up. I can’t do it at all with out Jesus help. I hope I gave some people some things to think about. +JMJ+

 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy. Amen.

 

Confession / Reconciliation

Mark 2:5 - Jesus forgives sins John 20:21 - Jesus says: "As I have been sent so I send you"

2 Corinthians 5:18 - Christ gave us the ministry of reconciliation John 20:23 - If you (the apostles and their successors) forgive the sins of any they are forgiven John 20:23 - If you (the apostles and their successors) retain the sins of any they are retained Romans 2:4 - "Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?" Acts 3:19 - Repentance needed for forgiveness Matthew 6:15 - Believers may not retain the sins of anyone. Also see: (James 5:16),(2 cor 5:18,20), (Numbers 5:6-7), (Proverbs 28:13), (Luke 23:43),(2 Chronicles 6:24),(Psalm 32:5). (James 5:16).

 

Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

Exodus 12:8, 46, Leviticus 6:17-19 - Under the Old Covenant the sacrificial lamb was eaten 1 Corinthians 5:7 - Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of the New Covenant John 6:53 - Under the New Covenant the sacrificial lamb must also be eaten John 6:35-71 - The Eucharist is promised John 6:35, 48, 51 - Jesus says, "I am the Bread of Life" John 6:51 - 57, Jesus says, "The bread which I give is my flesh" John 6:66 - Jesus disciples took him literally and He didn't correct them Isaiah 9:20 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Isaiah 49:26 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Micah 3:3 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Matthew 26:26-28 - The Eucharist is instituted, "This is my body this is my blood" 1 Corinthians 10:16 - The bread and wine are a participation in the body and blood of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 - This is my body this is my blood 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 - Receiving unworthily is profaning the body and blood of the Lord

 

1 Corinthians 1:18

[ Christ the Power and Wisdom of God ] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

     

I think color can be like feelings or emotions. It can take us past the here and now.

Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.

 

He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.

 

A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.

 

One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.

 

I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.

 

Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.

 

I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.

 

I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.

 

It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.

 

A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.
