    I know this sounds a bit disenchanting but I found that in my life following Christ is a habit that I can nurture or allow to fade away. It's the habit of opening myself up to hear Him and allowing that voice to guide my life. Over the course of a day or so I can move from being in touch with Christ, guided by His Spirit, to being caught up in the affairs of this world and forgetting about Him. So each day, I need to pause to check where I am. After a few moments, Christ draws me back to Himself. But I drift on a daily basis. I find that as long as I don't drift for too long it's easy to return. If I have drifted for a few weeks it may take me two or three days to journey back to Christ. But, he never stops calling me.

      Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, Parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary
      Lectionary: 401
      Reading I
      Ex 32:15-24, 30-34
      Moses turned and came down the mountain
      with the two tablets of the commandments in his hands,
      tablets that were written on both sides, front and back;
      tablets that were made by God,
      having inscriptions on them that were engraved by God himself.
      Now, when Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting,
      he said to Moses, “That sounds like a battle in the camp.”
      But Moses answered, “It does not sound like cries of victory,
      nor does it sound like cries of defeat;
      the sounds that I hear are cries of revelry.”
      As he drew near the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing.
      With that, Moses’ wrath flared up, so that he threw the tablets down
      and broke them on the base of the mountain.
      Taking the calf they had made, he fused it in the fire
      and then ground it down to powder,
      which he scattered on the water and made the children of Israel drink.
      Moses asked Aaron, “What did this people ever do to you
      that you should lead them into so grave a sin?”
      Aaron replied, “Let not my lord be angry.
      You know well enough how prone the people are to evil.
      They said to me, ‘Make us a god to be our leader;
      as for the man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt,
      we do not know what has happened to him.’
      So I told them, ‘Let anyone who has gold jewelry take it off.’
      They gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
      On the next day Moses said to the people,
      “You have committed a grave sin.
      I will go up to the LORD, then;
      perhaps I may be able to make atonement for your sin.”
      So Moses went back to the LORD and said,
      “Ah, this people has indeed committed a grave sin
      in making a god of gold for themselves!
      If you would only forgive their sin!
      If you will not, then strike me out of the book that you have written.”
      The LORD answered, “Him only who has sinned against me
      will I strike out of my book.
      Now, go and lead the people to the place I have told you.
      My angel will go before you.
      When it is time for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

      They forgot the God who had saved them,
      who had done great deeds in Egypt,
      Wondrous deeds in the land of Ham,
      terrible things at the Red Sea.
      R. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
      Then he spoke of exterminating them,
      but Moses, his chosen one,

      Gospel
      Mt 13:31-35
      Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds.
      “The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed
      that a person took and sowed in a field.
      It is the smallest of all the seeds,
      yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.
      It becomes a large bush,
      and the birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.”
      He spoke to them another parable.
      “The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast
      that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour
      until the whole batch was leavened.”
      All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.
      He spoke to them only in parables,
      to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:
      I will open my mouth in parables,
      I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.
      “My Sacred Wounds are the remedy for the future. There is nothing else that can save them.”
      What infinite riches are concealed within My Holy Wounds! Draw deeply from the Fount of Graces. You will never exhaust it. It will never dry up, just as My Love never dries up and My Mercy outlasts all things. Let every soul receive Healing in My Holy Wounds. For all, I was ready to Sacrifice My life; for all, I prayed to the Father for grace and reconciliation. To all I offer the Love of My Heart, and I will never cease to do so. Let no one be lost. Nothing is impossible to Love. It can and will Fight for every Soul and Love will be Victorious!

      Do you harm anybody? Galatians 5:14 tells it all: “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”. Do you harm anybody, that is the question, the only question.
      I thought for more than 50 years that we were under laws, the christian law to love God and our fellowman, Matthew 22:37-40. But look at the question Jesus was asked in verse 36. My conclusion is that when you know who you are you are not even obliged to love God! You eventually are God, just like being born from a human is a being a human. Romans 1:9; 8:16;
      May the Lord be with you.

He saw every sin in me but saw my true regret and repentance and conveyed it's all about love, love of righteousness and truth. After he was done with I felt love like I never had but the next thought in my head was what a wretch I am. A word I never use was the pure thought inside me.
      And how I know it was real is my desire for lust which is one of the trickiest one was cleansed from me. Bless you and stay strong brother.

    This is exactly why I have rejected the Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Church in Australia.

My conscience, that is to say, the holy spirit that resides within me tells me to flee from this wolf dressed in sheeps clothing.

    When we depart from Gods peace we are in trouble, I no longer watch or listen or spend my time upon anything that distracts me from Gods peace within, no lifetime is long enough to study fully scripture or his word and this lifetime is getting shorter by the events unfolding so each day I am blessed to awaken again,I simply spend my time in The Word in prayer in his grace as I repent the previous day,as every day I do live reveals to me how much I am at his mercy for forgiveness over 99% of the life I have lived so far now I recognize how pitiful it was and how thankful I am how humble and truly humbling it is to recognize the truth of this world how satanic it is tainted poisoned and as I am too, time is so precious to purify what we are now, who we are,the character I will take with me, to the kingdom coming , the only thing I long for now is his coming,and to refine this character of mine while I am blessed with time to do it, and through all that to help anyone else I meet do the same

From the lives of saints we can learn how to love God more and draw closer to him. Thank you
