101. GOD changes the heart of the
spiritual director and will let that person
know how to give spiritual direction.
102. What we need is
humility.
103. Humility means we accept the truth.
104. Don't put yourself
down, that is false humility.
105. When you make an excuse for what you are
doing, that is pride speaking.
106. People don't learn from past
history.
107. Since when is pregnancy a disease? (pro-choice wants health
insurance to
pay)
108. Since when is
pregnancy a health problem?
109. I cannot judge you, only GOD can judge
you.
110. We should never be embarrassed to tell the priest any sin in
confession.
111. A priest would be excommunicated if he divulged a
confession.
112. A priest would have to die to protect the seal of
confession.
113. GOD says, "When your sins are confessed, I forget
them."
114. When you confess your sin, the sin is gone, it is gone.
115.
The devil does not know the sin is gone, so he can bring it up over and
over again in your mind.
116.
Everything you do is recorded in your memory and you can bring it back at
will.
117. Humility is the
truth.
118. We must accept ourselves as GOD sees us, strengths, weaknesses
and faults.
119. As we become more humble, the less sin we will have in our
lives.
120. She did not look at Her sinfulness as She gave Her whole life to
GOD.
121. She accepted herself when She said, all generations shall call me
blessed.
122. If you belittle yourself, it is false humility.
123. Pride
is the source and root of all sin.
124. Lord, too late have I loved you. (St.
Augustine)
125. The second person of the Holy Trinity humbled Himself and
came into this
world.
126. It is a
greater humility of Jesus to be present under the appearance of
bread and wine.
127. He was GOD, is GOD, and always will
be GOD.
128. It takes humility to confess your sins.
129. Pride keeps
people from confession.

132. We cannot go to Heaven without
humility.
133. To become holy, we must surrender.
134. We must carry out
the will of GOD in all things.
135. We should be willing to give our life as
John the Baptist did.
136. We must be willing to be a martyr.
137. Let go
and let GOD.
138. Our Blessed Mother was the first martyr of charity.
139.
They willed to do what GOD wished. (saints)
140. GOD if I did something I
should not have done, or if I did not do something
I should have done, I am truly sorry.
141. Be careful, don't go after
signs and wonders.
142. When the priests have the zeal, they can go out and
renew the faith of
the people.
143. If we
surrender to the Lord, then we will not surrender to the evil of
the world.
144. The evil began when we
condoned artificial birth control.
145. Today, 85% of our Catholic people are
practicing elicit birth control.
146. Once you deny the principal of life you
will condone all forms of killing.
147. When you commit mortal sin, spiritual
life within you is gone it's dead.
148. Illicit birth control is where a
person places an obstacle in the way of
GODS' plan, and they prohibit, prevent, conception of a new child.
149. The
Holy Father points out, illicit birth control is intrinsically evil,
always objectively, mortal sin.
150. From
the practice of illicit birth control, the next thing that
happens
is abortion.
151. And so women
have an abortion, and they regret it later, very, very much.
152. When a
child is conceived, that child will live forever. Even if it
is
aborted, that child will live
forever.
153. Any doctor, any nurse, anyone who helps or anyone who urges a
person to
have an abortion, is automatically
excommunicated from the Church.
154. Divorce has become epidemic. Six out of
ten marriages end up in divorce.
155. We need modesty addressed, especially
for women.
156. Many no longer believe that Jesus Christ is here in the
Blessed Sacrament.
157. We have an epidemic of suicides, especially of young
people.
158. Doctors are assisting people to end their lives.
159. The
aged, when they are no longer wanted, or no longer needed, some
say,
'get rid of them'.
160. Lives
should never be cut short, not ever, ever, ever.
161. Everyone has a right to
live, and to die with dignity.
162. You are going to meet people with ideas
that are not of GOD, but you have
the duty to
speak up.
163. You have to speak up like John the Baptist.
164. Give
yourself over to GOD, be prepared, especially the young people.
165. You
young people, you have to face your life, you have to face the world.
166. Be
strong, be committed, be faithful, be holy, be a Saint. That's all
that
matters, and you can.
167. Whenever
you run into a situation where there is great danger for your
spiritual life, ask, "what would Jesus do,
how would Jesus act," then act
accordingly.
168. The young people are the treasures of our society, of our
world, of our
Church.
169. We need to help
the young people to build up hope, to build up faith.
170. The Holy Father
has the responsibility for everyone in the world, and he
has to speak out.
171. GOD has entrusted
the child to the parent.
172. Children are eager to learn.
173. The ideal
is to have a father, and a mother. (for children)
174. If the father is not
truly a GOD loving person, it is very difficult for
the children to look at GOD the FATHER, and have a true idea that HE is a
loving Father, a forgiving Father, a
merciful Father.
175. Parents should give of themselves 100%, to work
together for the sake of
the children.
176. If you do not have a good mother, then it is very difficult to have a
true
and lasting devotion to Our Mother
Mary.
177. It is GODS will that people live together as husband and wife
until death
do us part.
178. Some of
us are called to live a single life (single parents). It is GODS
plan for them that they remain
single.
179. The GOD given gift of sex, is for husbands and wives to bring
children
into the world.
180. Kids
running around. Where do they get their energy? They would wear an
old person out. Old people are not the ones
to be having children, it's
the young people.
The young people want to put off having children until
they are well settled in the world.
181.
A woman should not follow a career when their children suffer from it.
182.
There has to be a better way than what we are doing in the world today.
183.
Parents killing children, children killing parents, that is what is
going
on in the world today.
184. GOD
has to be part of it. (family life)
185. We have a great work to do.
186.
The news is discouraging, but we should still be optimistic, because
GOD
has promised HE will be with the
Church.
187. The growth of the Church is in Africa and Asia, and not so much
in Europe
or America.
188. One of the
main reasons others are coming to our Church is the holy father.
189. The
holy father is a person of hope.
190. Why has he (the pope) sold millions of
copies of his book called,
'Crossing the
Threshold of Hope'? It is because he inspires hope.
191. The Holy Father
knows what it is to suffer. He suffered under communism.
192. He (the pope)
certainly took up his cross and followed the Lord, and we
all have to do the same.
193. People
from the young to the age of thirty, have not been taught the
faith
correctly.
194. There has to be that
change of heart, the change of attitude, the change
of behavior, and we will not see that until we ask for the outpouring
of
The Holy Spirit.
195. That is what is
needed today, the outpouring of The Holy Spirit.
196. The coming of the Lord,
can be for us at any time.
197. Life is so fragile, and yet we live it as if
we will go on forever.
198. There is a need to have the proper priorities in
life.
199. GOD loves a generous giver.
200. If you go out to help others,
you have a certain joy.
