On the Path to Agape
Today too, I am asking the cards what message they have for me today. Having shuffled my Saints and Angels deck, I drew the Forgiveness, the Reward and the Learning Experience cards. The combination is telling me that today I will need to embrace more the idea of forgiving both to others and to myself. Forgiveness is essential in my life, as until I forgive, my heart will stay divided between the peace I really want and my ego that cannot let go of the hurt and wishes hurt on others to validate its own pain. Agape is the word for absolute love, divine love, love that never questions, only accepts, only assumes the best about others, and is forgiving and patient.
When Saints CommunicateDear Friends! Today, I would like to tell you the meaning of the rose I got from St. Therese on October 1st. It was an important event in my life that I also posted about on October 2nd. Having received my rose on the fifth day of my novena, I became very curious: what does it mean when a saint we have asked to intercede for us sends us a very specific sign, the sign that we requested of them? I was really consumed by finding the answer, and I launched into an extensive research on the Internet as well as in books. What I have found only confused me further. Some say that receiving the rose means that our prayer has been heard. Some way that it means that our prayer will be answered. But no one says that receiving the rose means that our wish will be granted.
Dear Friends! This past few days were the most touching and the happiest in my life! So many things I have to tell you, but if I were to tell you everything in one posting, the article would be too long.

The roses we receive tell us that she is praying hard for us and that God is understanding, merciful and benevolent towards our wish.
Psalm 58 – In Time, the LORD Will AvengeCursing someone who has hurt us may not seem very good, but God understands it is part of the normal human process of adjustment. What this psalm commends is keeping such destructive emotion below the level of action – a commitment to waiting on the LORD.
Nutrition for Spiritual GrowthFor each of us, eating right for our body can not only help us to feel great, it can also help to keep us in the right energetic space for living a meditative and mindful life. And even though this won’t directly result in spiritual awakening, we are told that making our body a temple can potentially make the quantum shift more likely to happen.
A Shower of RosesDear Friends! I finished my 24 Glory be novena yesterday, and as a fitting conclusion to it, now I would like to tell you about what turned out to be my “shower of roses”.
Do you eat your desert first? Of course you do not, or at least you should not. First you eat what is important and then add something sweet (or salty, depends on your taste). Action can be defined in many ways. In some theories a desire plus a belief about the means of satisfying that desire are always what is behind an action. It does not mean staying passive and waiting for the earth to move.
Suffering Is a Mind-Made EntityI began seeing that yes, painful situations arise in life, it’s inevitable. However, the suffering I was experiencing was the effect of the thoughts I was having about the painful situations. My mind was having a party with all the painful events and I was the guest of honor.
