The Devil Doesn't Know What's On Your Mind



Even if you are so predictable.
When you love somebody, say it.  When you are sorry for having hurt someone, tell that person.  When you abhor something, renounce it out loud.

Because the devil doesn't know what's on your mind.  Until you make it clear to him your choice, he will not stop from enticing you to do things his way.  And he can only base his moves from your very own moves.

In the same way that when you are sorry for having offended God, you've got to confess it.  Out loud.  Not for God,  for He does already know what you are about to do or say even before you speak it.  Confessing out loud is for the devil to know what you truly think and feel.   "Hear me now?  Huh?  I am sorry of having chosen your way and I am saying sorry to my God! Bite me!"

The same thing applies to human-to-human relationship.  If you just base love on showmanship, there's a chance, a tiny bit of chance that things can get misunderstood.  It might be just a tiny chance, but it is still a chance.  Murphy's Law. And boy, how things can get messy sometimes.  Never base it on "Isn't it obvious?"  Nope, the recipe ain't complete without having to put things into words, which ever way you can.

Come to think of it.  If people just say what they need to get sent across to other people,  the world is less complicated, less dramatic,  less noisy, less 'dark'.  You get rid of misunderstanding.  Of suspicion. Of espionage, too.

On the other hand, with the devil and everyone else not knowing what's on your mind,  your silence can become your power too.  It enables you to have that element of surprise. Like, catching the devil 'off-guarded', when all your past moves have been convincing him that you have totally trashed the good in you, you make that absolute opposite turn  towards God. Simply walk away from that sinful world. Just walk away. No looking back. No contemplating. No more confiding to anyone else.  Just walk away. Run back to the Confession box.  Receive the Lord Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. Immerse yourself in His holy presence exposed through the Holy Bread in the Adoration Chapel. And keep that protection coming by asking the Lord's Mother for constant intercession through the Holy Rosary.

And that, folks, is  how you can deceive the Prince of Deception. Ha!  So who says that Catholic struggle is all drama? Nope, it ain't so! It can be hell suspense, too! And, mysterious.  And, funny?  It can be anything!!!

Because the devil doesn't know what's on your mind.

And THAT IS ONE OF YOUR POWERS.

(And your mind is hack-free. Thanks to both sides observing the ' Policy on Free Will'. )

Love is Doing!

Do you know what love is? It's not just a feeling in your heart, it's also something you do! Sometimes, saying "I love you" is super important. But showing love with your actions is like giving a big, warm hug without even touching! These are called concrete acts of love. "Concrete" just means real things you can see and do! Let's think about ways we can show love to our family and friends, just by doing things! Helping Hands (Acts of Service) Imagine your grown-up is super busy.  What if you: Help put your toys away without being asked? Set the table for dinner? Help carry the groceries inside? When you do these things, you're saying, "I love you and I want to help!" It makes everyone feel happy and cared for. Special Time (Quality Time) Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day. Ask a grown-up to play your favori...

THE FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

The body of our Lord transcended into tiny pieces of bread...   ...consumed and contained by and in these tiny vessels of Christ. "He remains among us until the end of the world.  He dwells on so many altars, though so often offended and profaned."                                                       - St. Maximilian Kolbe

Duterte Mocks God

  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  For God cannot br mocked. Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, has made several public statements that were widely interpreted as critical of God and the Catholic Church. Here are some key instances:  * Criticism of the Creation Story:    * Duterte questioned the biblical story of Adam and Eve, expressing his disbelief and asking "Who is this stupid God?" for creating them only to allow them to be tempted. This critique of the concept of original sin was a major source of controversy.  * Statements about God's "Stupidity":    * He publicly used the word "stupid" to describe God, which caused significant outrage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines.  * Challenges to God's Existence:    * Duterte also stated that he would resign if anyone could prove God's existence, further fueling the debate about his religious views.  * Attacks on the Catholic Church:    * He ...
