John 16:33

"I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

This bible verse is one of my favorite things that Jesus said. Whenever I read it, I’m reminded that Jesus already won, He overcame the world, so anything in the world that gives me trouble is nothing compared to Him. As long as I remain in Him, I can overcome whatever is troubling me.

Sometimes I am also troubled with what I see happening in other places, especially in politics, when it seems like those who have bad intentions are winning, I remember that Jesus is always on top of things, He knows what’s up and what’s best. If I feel anxious, I just go to the Blessed Sacrament in Youtube and just be in His Presence and that makes me feel peaceful.

According to Saint Thomas Aquinas, Jesus overcame the world through 3 ways:

1. he conquered the allurement of the world by his poverty
2. he overcame the world by casting out the ruler of the world
3. by converting the people of this world to himself

I learned that from Matt Fradd’s bible study video. This is my favorite part:

…which understood literally means that after the Passion of Christ, the little boys and young handmaids of Christ will make the devil their plaything. So this thing prowling about like a roaring lion, we should not take him lightly, of course, he wishes to lead us to hell, but when we are in Christ, he is about as harmful to us as a mouse is to a cat…

Another thing that I want to mention is the Rosary. After I pray it, I always feel peaceful. As in my mind is not attacked by various worrying thoughts and I don’t feel anxious. Remembering the life of Jesus by praying this prayer helps me be centered to Him. Aside from the promises of the rosary, I am motivated to praying it because I imagine myself as saint bernadette, not that I’m that holy, but like when Mama Mary was there one time when she prayed the rosary, I felt like I’m spending time with Mama Mary and Jesus, going back and looking at His life. 

And since the rosary is also a spiritual weapon, I feel like praying the rosary is my participation in the whole spiritual battle in my life and in the world. I feel like each rosary prayed by various people all around the world is helping in the conversion of many people, who are joining the only religion that has the whole truth and receiving Jesus (literally, not metaphorically) every Mass.

I will end with this screenshot from catholic.com site

I have peace in my heart knowing that in the end Jesus will come again and will finalize the defeat of the devil. For now, I want to carry my cross and follow Him knowing that He is with me all the time. 

1 Maccabees 2:62

I'm currently reading 1 Maccabees and it's all about the battles of the Jewish people against the kings and other nations at that time. I'm already at the last chapter of this book. Most of the verses are about the fights, or the interactions with leaders and about the armies, but there's one particular verse that I like the most because I can apply it to the situation today.

"do not fear the words of the sinner, 

for his splendor will turn into dung and worms"

For me, it means that I should not be worried about what the bad people say or do because it will all end into nothing. Google explained it more beautifully:

This reminds me of what I tweeted years ago about being on the winning team. All the things that those bad powerful people are doing to control and have power over the masses, will be for naught coz in the end they will lose. The final battle was described in the book of Revelation and everyone knows who will win. The verses in chapter 13:16-17

"Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name."

(I don't understand most of the verses before these two, describing the beasts, but I understand the two verses coz it is like what happened in covid when they required vaccine passes to even buy anything or enter any establishment.) Covid was their practice run, someday it would be the real thing. Maybe 10 years, 50 or hundred or thousand years from now, I don't know. All I know is that I want to live my life following Jesus' example and words.

Another Bible Verses that I love: Psalms 1

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;

but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, 

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, 

but the way of the wicked will perish.

There are many negative things that I hear and see every day in social media. There are many posts that show how evil some people are. I don't want to amplify those things so I don't repost them. I want to focus on the positive things, on things that I want to see more of. I want my blog to be a place where I can recharge myself or reset to be a more positive version of me. And one of the ways I can do that, is to write more about the bible verses and that's what I'm going to do in my next blog posts. :)

Philippians 4:6-8

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Why Catholics Cannot be Freemasons

There was a filipino priest who blessed a masonic marker. It was obvious that it was a freemasonic symbol and the words "masonic lodge" was also written above it, but the priest still blessed the marker. The organization where he was from issued an official statement, you can read it here.

I am currently reading the book about freemasons and so, I want to talk about it here.

Why you cannot be a freemason and at the same time a Catholic?

To put it simply, it is because what the Freemasons believe is irreconcilable with what we believe as Catholics. Freemasons believe that any god of any religion is true. How can you believe that and still think that you are a Catholic. As a Catholic, I believe that there is only one true God and that is the Holy Trinity, therefore I don't worship other gods and I don't believe that other religions are right. 

Below is an excerpt from the book of John Salza. 

To better understand the reasons why catholics can't be mason, buy the book of John Salza - there is one review there by a person who claims to be a catholic and a freemason and he gave a low rating for the book. It just shows how ignorant some catholics are. I really recommend that you read the book so you won't be fooled into thinking that freemasonry is not a religion and if you're a priest, that you will learn even the basic symbol and info on why you shouldn't bless anything freemasonic. 

Ven. Fulton Sheen 1

 I watched one of his videos and I was reminded to look for the best in everyone.

Like the lyrics from the song of Jason Mraz, look for the good in everyone

Catholic Sites

What I put here are the ones I like and trust that it provides correct info about the Catholic Faith.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eucharistic MIracles - list of miracles where the consecrated bread or wine became flesh (real heart tissue of a person) and blood. It's the site created by Saint Carlo Acutis.

EWTN - has loads of information about the catholic faith and other catholic things, go to the website then click the catholicism tab, scroll down and then click "teaching". They have people who check the info on their site so I can trust that what they have is the right info about our faith.

Catholic Answers - you can enter your question on the search bar located at the top of the homepage and answers will be provided.

Chastity - get answers for your questions about dating, marriage, porn, lgbtq & birth control, etc.

Eternal Christendom - they have articles where they relate the words from the Church Fathers about topics such as the Eucharist, Apostolic succession, what did the ancient church believed, etc., you can check them out (click on becoming catholic -> articles)

Reasons - revealing God in science

Government Hiding Physics

That title is my conclusion after I watched this episode of Candace. If you haven't watched it, I'm going to spoil it here. I learned that the USA government can teleport a huge thing like a big airplane with more than 200 people on board. They did it using 3 plasma orbs. I agree with Ashton (the guest interviewed by Candace), those orbs might have come from the usa military because the plane disappeared near nicobar islands then appeared near their military base in Maldives. They most probably have learned it from alien tech. The point remains, it's physics or scientific info (teleportation tech) that they did not release to the public. The military guy who leaked the footage showing the airplane with those orbs is a hero. He gave the families of those people on the plane and the public true answers. Why would they target a civilian airline and do this teleport thing? Ashton said it might be because there are microchip engineers in that plane. He explains more detail in the video.

This happened 11 years ago, imagine what they can do now. That's why I put the picture of the airplane with 3 orbs around it on my twitter header and a screenshot of the teleportation power of blink on my profile pic. I don't believe there are mutant humans with special powers, I don't believe that x-men are real, but I believe that humans have the technology to teleport people/things, bringing them from one place to another instantly.

In the past, I didn't think that it was possible to teleport anything, especially not a human being, because we live in a physical reality, a person might die during teleportation, but now after watching some of Ashton's videos, especially the video where his guest Roy related a theory, I think it is really possible. There are a lot of things we don't know about the world we live in, especially info about matter and energy. The usa government or the powers-that-be might have more info on physics that they are not giving to the public. They have advance technologies that they don't want people to know about. 

Maybe they are also hiding what could make this world a better place. Maybe we don't need to pay for electricity because there is an energy that is freely available that we can use if we have a specific tool. I'm not talking about renewable energy, but free energy that is formed from just even a small space. Maybe they discovered new laws of physics or nature. Maybe they have already produced a car that doesn't need fuel nor electricity. Those are just some of my thoughts. Well, since teleportation is possible, maybe we won't need cars or planes lolz. Maybe they had that teleportation technology for decades and maybe they've made improvements. Maybe if it was given to the public, we would already have specific spots in all places in the world where you can go and push a button and a portal is open that a person can go through and in a second he's in another country.

The elites (who run things in the shadows) or parasites as I prefer to call them, maybe they will reveal all the physics info and advance tech they have when they achieve a one world government, put themselves in charge of running it and made everyone a slave. They can use national security as an excuse for everything. They can have useful idiots doing their bidding, but whatever they plan or whatever their goal is, I believe they will never succeed. God knows what's up and He knows the best way to deal with any situation.

Beautiful Things

I love the melody of this song by Benson Boone. I looked for the lyrics coz I want to learn how to sing it, but when I read the lyrics, I changed my mind. I don't want to ask God to not take away the beautiful things I have, because that meant I made those things higher than God. It's God that I should worship and love first not anyone or anything else. I don't want to think of myself as more intelligent, more loving, more knowledgeable than God, to even think of telling God what to do. I don't agree with the message of the song so I no longer want to sing it even though I really love the melody and the high notes. 

I'm just writing this as a reminder to myself to not make people or things my idol. I'm referring to the catholic definition of the word. Idol meaning treating that person or thing as God, as the one who is the most important in your life. I love my mom and brother and all my relatives and friends, but I never put them as number one in my life. I like to think that I put God first and everyone else second. I pray for safety for all the people I love and I will be hurt if anything happens to them. However, I'm at this point in my faith, that I will not question the wisdom of God no matter what He allows to happen. I am worried sometimes of course. I try to say thank you to God every night when I go to sleep that we are all well, that we were kept safe on that day. 

The song talks about the fear of losing that girl that he loves. I really don't like a guy who doesn't have God at the center of his life. His fear is normal but I don't want to be like him, I want to be like Job in the Bible. To be able to accept everything that happens and not lose faith nor blame God for anything.

I love this talk from Chris Stefanick about spiritual detachment.

I also love the comment from one of the viewers:

I'm going to repeat the last line here because that's also what I will regret to see those times that I didn't share His Love with those He put in my life.
