I once listened to a person saying that to ask God for something, was a personal prayer. By example: To ask that everything goes in the right way in my work. Not to have accidents. To make a sale. To find what I lost.
This person was saying that prayer has to do with asking and establishing a form of communication. Nevertheless, this is untrue. God can’t be conditioned in any way. The relationship with God is without time and space, without interchange of possessions. I can’t make my relationship with God conditional to whether I want a new car or a new pair of designer shoes. That is not the right way.The right way is to realize the genuine Love and not to use the term indifference because Love is always interested in Love. I can say that Love will always bring and carry something good. But this good is not the beginning and the end. It is one of the most genuine and with a noble interest. One good example of this love is the love for our children, which is not only responsible and giving but also is a tender and sweet love, which understands, accepts and even in the good sense of the word, also tolerates. We find in this love many similar points of spiritual characteristics.Then, let’s go to the matter: How to love God? How to love God above all things, with all the strength and power of our being? Here is the secret:The love that God looks for, is the love that is loyal, that is witness of the vision which arises from a heart in the process of purification. In this human heart has been found the understanding and the grace of appreciating not only the good but also the origin of the good. In its most complete and absolute synthesis is the gratitude for life, as much personal as universal. As much as the inner as the outer life, in a life of awareness, discernment, understanding and appreciation, which recognizes with faithfulness, what God gives.
The love to God comes from gratitude. It is also a commitment and the highest degree of loyalty and fidelity.
But which God? It is not the one of the image, neither the one of the power or the riches. It is the joy of life, and not only of life but also its origin.
“God, Father, i love You, because You have given me life. Because You are the Creator, because nothing exists but Your Word. You are the maker of justice and good. How not to believe in You, how not to Love You, if you are Love Itself.”

How poor is science without the spiritual consciousness.
How poor is knowledge if this knowledge does not help others and does not have a goal, an ideal.
How sad and poor is the rich man who does not know how to share.
How lonely is life if one does not have whom to Love!

In an open hand, Peace is found. In a closed hand, too much violence is found with nothing to receive or to give.
When you open your heart, the universe, also opens to you and you’ll always achieve fullness of life.

The existence is a succession of events in which we often think that we do not have the due control. But this is not necessarily correct. We all would like to have been able to avoid many circumstances in life, to the extent that if we could go back in time, we would completely change our attitude. Nevertheless, the things at that moment, got out of control and proportion. We have to reflect about those situations and realize that we had the option to make things different, but everything happened too fast and seems that we lost control.
This happens because we are living without a method and without planning. And we truly must use our mind to create the ideal and appropriate conditions for a different destiny, when the time comes. This does not mean that we remain doing nothing siince for the spiritual person, the most important method of development and progress is not only the analysis, but the method of conscious prayer.

What is this about? In principle, faith is a fundamental and invariable element. And we must consider prayer as a very practical and effective practice.
Faith is spiritual nourishment, sustained in the doctrine of peace, love, justice, liberation and grace. We have to see that our lives, interests, and purpose are not opposed to faith. It does not matter whether we apparently lose great opportunities. Faith, is a personal declaration of God, by which, we are declared saved, redeemed and in His Presence.

Nothing that comes from the world, can give us that. Therefore, we must never look for other methods of life because although in appearance, we will obtain success, this will quickly turn into misfortunes.

Faith is cultivated in the action and in prayer, in the study and reflection and in the active participation with a spiritual community, which is the whole humanity. In other words, the universe is our field of action.

We have to consider destiny as the expression of our spiritual work. And for this reason we must be strengthened in the spiritual communion with purity, harmony, sanctity and spiritual testimony. Then in the mystery of faith, we will change but we will not stop the action since we will find us again from a conscious present to a future, reaching this by the communion of the spiritual grace.

What is the meaning of this? The spiritual meaning is that we surrender to the doctrine of faith but we do not leave our action, that we deepen in the mystery of spiritual grace, which feels, creates, knows and recognizes that life is not by chance. But that there is order and full destiny for the one who cultivates real love. From this, comes the glorification in the Spirit, which means strengthening of the heart, which means Peace of the Spirit.

The time that is coming is a time of revival. And although we always trust in the will of God, we have to actively participate and not only to trust without doing nothing. But we must trust in a spiritual ministry of positive, affirmative action, declaring in our heart and life, the grace of Divine Love.

I looked at the sky and I saw a great expansion. I looked at the horizon and could not find its end, I approached the sea, threw a stone, it sank and I did not know how far down it went. I went up the mountain and saw that there were others that were higher. I looked down from the top of the mountain and the altitude made me shudder.
I have seen so many distances, so much vastness that have moved me. How great is the all ! How vast is the universe ! How deep ! How complex !
But, when I looked inside myself, that is to say, to the inner silence, that universe that seemed so big to me, in a mysterious way, becomes smaller. There is something bigger than what is big, deeper than what is deep. And it is not outside, it is inside each one of us. But I think that it is only the beginning of something that goes beyond words, that is capable of joining the all and the nothing and is as a wonderful brightness.
And then, I realized that is not internal, that is not external, that it is everywhere.

We are beings created by True Love and we have a wonderful potential for living in abundance and this means that there is a talent or there are many talents that must be developed and experimented like Friendship, Generosity and Wisdom.

I found out something surprising yesterday and it was a mixture of all that cannot be mixed; the experience was very intense, it was as happiness and pain at the same time. Finally, I understood something that I would like to share.
I thought that I had found a great feeling and said to myself: ” This is great” but it happened that I was turned down. I tried again and was turned down again. And filled with courage and conviction, I went back. And I was turned down for the third time. I tried to understand what was happening? I built my hopes up for somebody with a heart of stone and then, I could understand that the stone is just a stone, it cannot give more or less than the stone gives. And my conclusion was that at times, we keep trapped to an idea and we want the situation to be our own way and we do the planning but it just does not happen: The sun does not come out at night. The withered flower will not be fresh as before. Then, it will be better to plant the seed and harvest the fruit and not to keep living in a fantasy.
Things are as they are and we have to accept them, then we will be sure, otherwise, we will go up the mountain and try to use wings to fly but we will fall because we were not born to fly. The experience was happy and painful but I could understand that although there are limits, they don’t limit me, they guide me to the safe path. If I try to change things, if I try to change the persons, they will not be themselves. It is much better to understand than to dream too much, expecting too much. But I will not cease living, instead, I will appreciate more what I have and not have, but not to force things but rather to flow among them. That is what I understood.
