To insist, to persist and to never give up

  Brothers and sisters in Christ, dear readers and beloved ones who follow this blog, people who happen to pass by here by chance, and everyone who is accessing this blog at this moment: I wish you all the richest blessings and graces of our Lord Jesus Christ.

No matter what we do, what we choose, what we follow, or even if we stray and move away from Him… He never moves away from us! We may not live with God, but He always lives with us, guards us, and protects us, always respecting our free will. Saint Paul already taught Timothy this way.

Life in abundance

Image
  In this wonderful day, we want to make an appeal to life. Enough of dull life, meaningless life, unmotivated life, life without love, life without joy, life without passion, careless life, empty life, rotten life, ruined life, sick life, aimless life, directionless life, life without God!     We want to experience and enjoy a full life, a life in abundance, filled with the grace of the Lord, full of meaning, full of purpose, full of ideals, full of dreams, full of persistence, full of courage, full of motivation, full of spiritual direction...   Catholicinbelfast.blogspot.com (Add it to your favorites!)     With all joy and motivated by the certainty of the Word of God, we want to follow Christ, love Him, praise Him, and give Him all the love of our hearts, confirming our journey each day through our choices for Him and through our actions, letting the Kingdom of God shine through in our lives:     “For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk...
