THEOSIS AUGUST 1, 2019

THEOSIS AUGUST 1, 2019

Theosis is the mystical union with God, the transformation of the whole of life.  The soul cries out within self to be rid of self.  Man cannot change their own nature.  Christ became man the man could become god.  The only way that man will ever be happy is to enter into the fullness of what they were created to be, a saint. The true poverty of this life is that we do not complete what we are…

God's Love in One's Soul - April 6, 2019

God’s Love in One’s Soul – April 6, 2019

Life in God’s will should settle into a time of quiet silence in one’s soul where all the soul seeks is God alone for there is nothing else for the soul but God. In all things they see God acting and watching His own movement to bring about the salvation of each creature. Of course it is up to each creature to give the assent of their will to give there yes or no to God to return to the order,…

A Self Seeking Heart

A Self Seeking Heart

A self-seeking heart cannot find God.  They cannot find the “I Am Who Am.” Self must go.  We must seek God with our name given to me pure and holy as at baptism.  “I baptize you Janet Marie Veronica” my new name in God, holy and pure without sin, to live there without sin.  The unity between creature and God remains unique in the giving of each one being separate, even though the creature gives…

The Child in God; God in the Child

The Child in God; God in the Child

The Child in God.  God in the Child:  Sept. 4, 2017

As we were created by God as His children, created perfectly, with all the attributes which God endowed creatures. We were perfect as God was perfect, holy as God was holy, a true prodigy of God that was the light of the world. 

As we chose our own will a darkness entered the world.  For thousands of years we were under the letter of the law. …

The Power of the Holy Spirit – Aug. 11, 2017    It has been quite some time since I have written on this site and much has happened since we have stopped for a time for God to work in each of our souls.

So, You Desire - Oct, 3, 2013

So, You Desire – Oct, 3, 2013

So, You Desire? – Oct 3, 2013 As we enter this era of sanctification one must understand that we have just left the 20th century where Satan has been released on our culture to raise up evil as never before heard of.  We are certainly quite aware of this as secular humanism seems to govern most of society.  ‘What feels good to you is right.  It is not wrong if it is your desire to do so, yet in my…

Feast of the Immaculate Conception - Dec. 8, 2014

Feast of the Immaculate Conception – Dec. 8, 2014

Feast of the Immaculate Conception – Dec. 8 2014 Mary, conceived without sin, what a gift to us, our Mother, and how many of us refuse or fail to understand the beauty of Mary. Each of us desires a mothers love, even if we have been raised in a home without this love, or in a home where our mother may have been less than present with love given for reasons darkening her own soul. It is not for us…

Let All Rejoice, For it is Finished – May 19, 2015

As you probably have guessed by now, we have come to the end of the road of the publishing of Desert Morning and the House of Nazareth.  It is always bittersweet to bring something to an end for there has been much joy and suffering in keeping this site going for in actuality seven and one half years.                                                                                             God…

Congregation for doctrine of Faith - May 13, 2015

(Congregation for doctrine of Faith) – “God did not create man as a ‘solitary being’ but wished him to be a ‘social being’. Social life therefore is not exterior to man: he can only grow and realize his vocation in relation to others.” God freely confers being and life on everything that exists. Man and woman, created in His Image and Likeness, are for that very reason called to be the visible…

The Holy Family, pt. 2, - May 11, 2015

The Church has Marriage as one of the seven sacraments and rightly so. It is very serious to Jesus. Jesus is wed to His Church. Does He leave us as we sin, kill and maim each other? How about our gossip, or refusal to forgive, or turn the other cheek, or be rejected as He was. Maybe he should wash his hands of us then. Do you think He should stand threateningly…… over us with a club, or his fists…

The Holy Family - May 8, 2015

The Holy Family – May 8, 2015 Turning to scripture we must first look at Jesus’s words about marriage and divorce beginning with (Mrk. 10: 2-12). The Pharisees approached Him and asked, “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife? They were testing him. He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?” They replied, “Moses permitted the husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss…

Voids of Love, cont. - May 7, 2015

Voids of Love, cont. – May 7, 2015

God sees all. He knows our lies. He knows the Voids of love and He knows that our suffering comes from the false self which is complete disobedience to the Will of God. God gave man free will. You have your yes to go where you will. We have eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It is man’s choice to place this apple back on the tree and make no judgements on the workings of God. This…

Voids of Love - May 6, 2015

VOIDS OF LOVE: Throughout my writings, you have heard me speak of the voids of love in one’s soul. I hope to make this much clearer for everyone’s understanding, and why one cannot live in the fullest state of God’s Will until these voids of love are filled with God. When we were created, before the fall, we were created filled with God. He gazed on His Son and God communicated with Himself in His…

The Interior Teaching - May 5, 2015

The Interior Teaching – May 5, 2015 The weight of Heaven is heavy on our hearts for it is the tears of heaven crying out from within the darkness of our souls, the darkness of our will in each act that we choose for self, whether actual or willful ignorance keeping God from communicating with groans beyond our comprehension, the sweet cooing, if you will, as a Mother to her child, the restful…

The Martydom of Martydoms - May 4, 2015

The Martyrdom of Martyrdoms – May 4, 2015

What does it mean by living the Will of God being the martyrdom of martyrdoms? In human sanctity when one gives their life to Christ and enters into martydom, in is a one time act. They come to the end of their life, where they will be challenged in their faith and their love for Christ. They will be persecuted and come to the finality of their own…
