The life of thanks giving is one of the greatest component of our meaningful life of the cross …it is not only strengthen our faith and hope and love with our Lord but improves as well our personal relation with others in this materialistic world and give us that inner peace … so mate all the time and during the day and even inside your heart thank God for his great deeds towards you and your loved ones ….even to get out of bed in the morning , it is not something guaranteed , we have to thank God for it ….if you want to feel the real hands of God with you in everything you do in your life , there is only one way to achieve it and that through the act of LOVE …By bearing and accepting your neighbor and brother , by helping him ,by looking after the needy , by visiting the sick, by saying a good word and comfort a distressed person , by sharing ,by caring ,even by giving a cup of cold water to a thirsty person you will carry your cross and do an act of love ….mate this is the only way to feel the presence of God in your life ….as mother Teresa said , we can not fix the problems of the world but we can make it brighter by doing little things with care and love …..mate LOVE is the only way to heaven ….LOVE is the gate to heaven ….God is LOVE …Mate if you will be doing everything in the bible and attend all the ritual aspects , do your prayers regularly , fasting , attending mass daily and you cover all these ritual aspects in our bible but NO LOVE there ,it will not be acceptable to God ….Faith , Hope and Love but LOVE IS THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL …Mate go and do a small act of love today and feel the presence of God in your life …. Must start with LOVE and fulfill the rest of our ritual aspects in the bible and you will feel a big change in your life with a lot of inner peace for youself and those around you ….

Bless me, Abouna.

Thanks Abouna, for your care, love and continual faithful ministry in the grace of our Lord.

Indeed, surrendering obedience is the forerunner of all virtues and every good work, it seems. Father, how can we stop ourselves form being slack in our obedience- I seem to say “yes, Lord”- and then a few weeks Lord, “actually, may be I better do it this way…”

Truly, this is a great , in depth meaningful reflection in the geometrical shape of the cross, vertically is our spiritual life towards heaven and horizontally is our , materialistic one spreadable all over the earth without content …however , the question ,why our Lord chose the cross for our redemption and not something else ???it is amazing that later on and now for 2000 years that the cross became our backbone of our beliefs and our faith ….i believe all of us are experiencing the power of the cross in our lives and that when we are down in life and we just look at our Lord on the wooden cross hanging on the wall of our homes , i believe immediately we feel our problems and suffering is nothing in comparison to all that suffering and assault our Lord went through it …certainly it is the most great love for all of us that God sent his only beloved son to get us back to his green paddocks … we must be very precious for God with his unlimited love to all his creatures ……

But if I cannot find my cross to bear, does that mean I am unworthy in God’s eyes ‘to be a disciple’, or does it mean that God has dealt bountifully and graciously with me, and has provided me ’sufficiently in everything, that I may abound in every good deed’?

I recall hearing in a sermon once, that if I feel I do not have a cross to bear, that I should diligently seek one (I cannot say where I heard it, or who I heard it from, because I do not remember).
But why would I do that instead of acknowledging God’s good graces and giving thanks that He has provided me a peaceful life?
