O Mother blest! The chosen shrine, Wherein the Architect Divine, Whose hand contains the earth and sky, Vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie; Blest in the message Gabriel brought; Blest in the work the Spirit wrought; Most blest, to bring to human birth The long desired of all the earth. O Lord, the Virgin born, to thee Eternal praise and glory be, Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost for ever more.]]> http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=96 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=92 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=92#comments Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:54:08 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=92 “mystery of Freedom”. The two main keys to this mystery are The Mind of God and the human mind. Obviously we only have the capacity to use the human mind, which is very limited and imperfect. To have access to God’s Mind the only way is through our Blessed Lord Jesus, and most likely will be the only way until we die. In the meantime the best we can do to understand the ‘mystery of freedom’ is to dive into the Holy Scriptures and to have a deep relationship/close friendship with Jesus in prayer and the Sacraments. After we do this it would be easier to understand how God sees things from a perspective of ‘eternity,’ He sees and knows all things at once. We can only see and know things in steps, in segments of time and space. God can do anything He wants with any reality. In Love, according to His revelation, He decided to respect our freedom. He will not have a direct intervention in our live unless we “open the door” and let Him in. ]]> http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=92 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=89 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=89#comments Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:42:49 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=89 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=89 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=84 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=84#comments Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:37:13 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=84 One is “involuntary”. God sheds his Grace like the sun sheds its rays and its warmth upon everyone. The best example is being in the Most Holy Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. His Grace is constantly “filling the Temple, or Church building”, touching and blessing every one that approaches it, regardless of our response. ]]> http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=84 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=64 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=64#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:58:23 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=64 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=64 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=61 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=61#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:52:17 +0000 admin http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=61 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=61 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=58 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=58#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:45:29 +0000 admin http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=58 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=58 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=51 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=51#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:26:16 +0000 admin http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=51 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=51 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=37 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=37#comments Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:46:29 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=37 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=37 0 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=21 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=21#comments Fri, 06 Aug 2010 03:32:51 +0000 peter http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?p=21 http://www.crissi.com/avemaria/?feed=rss2&p=21 0
