2 Corinthians 4
This morning I decided to watch an episode of “Mother Angelica Live”.
[Thank you Lord for YouTube :)]
I searched for a video regarding our human suffering.
And found myself choosing a video entitled “Living in a dysfunctional world”.
Mother Angelica is such a light-hearted, joyful and faithful woman of God.
[love her, she’s so cute and wise :)]
She has such great wisdom that transcends through time. That even though the video that I had watched was recorded more than ten years ago, the same message of Love and Hope from the Lord can still be heard: LOUD AND CLEAR.
That at times, it can even put you to tears.
I would like to share this video with you all and I hope that it finds you well.
Here’s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xflGAWh55bI
A simple reminder on how to find joy within our suffering,
how to find joy in our world that is suffering,
how to find joy within our world with its people who are suffering.
Mother Angelica reflected on one great saint’s journey through suffering but overcoming it with his great faith, our beloved, St. Paul 🙂
One Mother Angelica’s reflection of 2 Corinthians 4 according to St. Paul:
” When we have no answer to our prayer, we do not despair. We answer with a blessing when we are cursed. When he (St. Paul) worked and got nothing out of it, he was gentle. When he was hungry and beaten, had no place to go, he praised God.”
“We must live in God in order to live in joy and hope.” – Mother Angelica, EWTN
I continue to pray that we may always seek God at all times.
Let us continue to pray for each other and love each other.
May our Great God bless us all always and forever.
Praise be to God always and forever.
Peace and Love,
Apple

p.s. I would also like to share this prayer with you 🙂
Litany of Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled …
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …
That others may be loved more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I …
That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease …
That others may be chosen and I set aside …
That others may be praised and I unnoticed …
That others may be preferred to me in everything…
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…
THE LITANY OF HUMILITY! :’)
