성례전을 통한 치유

이것은 카톨릭 쇼의 한국어 번역본입니다. 아래 링크를 찾으십시오. 이 인터뷰는 수녀님께 하는 성직자의 인터뷰입니다. 그것은 신성한 성체의 힘에 관한 것이다. 그리고 고해 성사에 대해서.
 

성례전을 통한 치유

(수녀) 브리지 맥 케나 (성직자) - 신부님. 미치 페케와

년 1 월 1 일

 

(사제가 말하길)어떤 종류의 기적이 보이나요?

 

(수녀)  나는 많은 것을 보았다. 내가 너에게 하면 우리는 오랫동안 여기 있을 수 있다고. 하지만 최근 사건이 있습니다…

나는 방금 해외 여행에서 돌아왔다.

 성직자 케빈과 나는 8 개국에 갔다.

우리가 방문한 나라가 있었습니다. 나는 그것이 폴란드 또는 독일이었다고 생각한다.

한 여자가 말했다. “수녀 브리지, 나는 대학의 교수님께 출석을 요청했다.. 성체 치유 미사에 참석하다”

 

“그 교수님은 가톨릭 신자이다. 그녀는 "미사는 좀 지루하다." 라고 말한다.

 

여자가 말했다, 브리지라는 이름의 이 수녀는 기적에 관한 책을 썼다.

이 수녀님은 이번 치료 서비스에서 기적에 대해 이야기할 것이다.

교수는 "나는 기적에 관심이 많아요."라고 말했다.

그녀가 기적에 대해 호기심이 있었기 때문에, 교수는 가톨릭 미사에 참석했다.

그래서 그녀는 그 수녀가 뭐라고 할지 들을 수 있다.

그 모임에서 한 비숍이 미사를 올렸다.

미사가 진행되는 동안에, 그 여자는 마음 속으로`이 미사가 곧 끝나기를 빕니다. 나는 그 수녀가 기적에 대해 뭐라고 할지 들어 보고 싶습니다.' 하고 말했다.

그래서 제가 연설을 했습니다.

그리고,미사가 끝난 후에, 힐링 서비스가 있었다. (성체 /성광) (한시간 동안 우리는 예수님을 흠모한다.)

그녀의 마음이 누그러졌다.

나는 이 작은 책에 썼다.

많은 대학생들이 제품을 판매하는 방법을 배우고 있다.

 (사제) 맞다!

 

(수녀) 그들이 판매하는 제품의 일부는 필요 없다.

가톨릭 신자로서, 우리는 우리가 가지고 있는 것을 판매할 필요가 있다. 설득력 있게 대처해야 해요

우리의 신념에 대해 자신 있게 말하기

나는 연설 중에 말했다. 자, 지금 여러분이 보고 있는 것은- 성체-이 사람은 예수님입니다. 지금 보시는 것은 - 성체 - 예수님입니다.

나의 연설의 어느 시점에서 나는 말했다. 눈을 뜨고 성체 보세요

그리고 이것이 같은 예수님이라는 것을 깨달아라. 지구상에서 우리와 함께 살았던 예수님은

너야 빵을 보고 있습니다.

하지만 예수는 그가 사랑하는 사람을 보고 있다. 그리고 당신을 위해서 그는 죽었어. 

어쨌든…

이틀 후 그 교수는 대학에서 그녀의 친구를 만났다.

교수는 친구에게 "무슨 일이 있었는지 말해 줄게..."라고 말했다. 난 미사에 참석했다. 나는 신앙 치료 서비스에 다녔다"

내 눈을 감고 나 울고 있었어요 그 수녀님의 기도에 내 마음이 흔들렸거든요 

갑자기 그 수녀가 말했다.

눈을 뜨고 예수님이 네 앞에 서 있는 것을 보아라.

눈을 떴을 때, 비숍이 내 앞에 있는  (가톨릭) 성체 안치기 들고 있는 걸 봤어요

 

 

그리고 제 몸 전체에 힘이 흐르는 것을 느꼈습니다.

기쁨으로 가슴이 벅차올랐다 그리고 동시에. 깊은 감각이 내게 다가왔다."고해하러 가서 예수를 만나라.

그녀는 집에 가서 고해하러 갔다. 그리고 너도 알다시피 그녀는 일요일에 세개의 미사로 갔고, 월요일에는 두개의 미사로 갔어.

 

(성직자는 논평한다) 이것은 질량이 지루하다는 것을 말한 숙녀이다

(수녀)  한달 전에 일어난 일이야

나는 사람들에게 말한다. 특히 대중들에게, 그리스도의 열정을 읽으라고. 그리고 너 자신에게 어디에 있을 거라고 생각하니?

오베람고우의 연극을 보러 간다면

 

오베람고우는 연극 프리젠 테이션으로, 예루살렘 방문에서 십자가에 못 박히면서 처형 될 때까지의 짧은 삶의 마지막 기간을 담고있는 예수의 열정을 모아 놓은 것입니다.

그곳은 그들이 우리 주 예수의 열정과 죽음을 행하는 곳이다.

여러분은 혼자 생각할 것이다."이 사람들은 얼마나 끔찍한가!그들은 몰랐다…"

 

어디에 있을 건지 자문해 보세요.

 

자신에게 물어보아라.

그 인물들 중에 누구를 대표하세요?

이제 미사에 가서

그것은 열정, 죽음, 부활이다.

그리고 나서 저는 그들에게 예수님과 대화를 해 보라고 도전합니다. 

놀라워…

이것이 바로 가톨릭 의식에 관한 이 책이 이야기들을 포함하는 이유이다.

왜냐하면 사람들은 당신이 그들에게 실제 삶의 이야기를 말했을 때 반응하기 때문이다.

 

또 다른 기적은 케빈 사제에게 일어났다.

우리는 180명의 사제를 위해 종교적인 훈련과 명상을 위한 은퇴 기간을 주고 있습니다.

 

성직자 케빈은 항상 고백 성사로 첫날에 시작합니다.

 

왜냐면 그는 먼저 무거운 짐부터 지워야 한다고 믿기 때문이다.

 

그리고 다음날 치유 서비스에 참석하다.

 

이것은 신앙 고백 성사와 함께 첫날 밤을 보내는 것을 매우 좋게 만든다.

 

. 자, 이 후퇴의 끝에서 나에게 얘기하고 싶어 하는 세명의 사제가 있었다.

첫번째 성직자는 매우 나쁜 허리 통증을 가지고있었습니다.

그는 잠을 잘 수 없었다. 수년 동안, 그는 거의 허리 통증으로 걸을 수 없었습니다. 이 제사장이 고백 성사에서 나왔을 때, 그는 완전히 고침을 받았습니다.

 

두번째 사제의 팔이 죽었다. 이 사제는 성직자 케빈에게 고해 성사를 청하러 갔다. 그가 고해하러 간 후에, 그의 팔이 완전히 나았다.

 

하지만 세번째 것은 매우 흥미로웠다. 그는 젊은 수도사였다. 그는 프란치스코회에 소속되어 있다. 성직자로서의 삶을 떠나기로 결심한 거죠

 

그는이 퇴각에 오기로 결정했다. 왜냐하면 그의 친구는 당신이 정말로 시도해야한다고 말했기 때문이다.

 

그러나 그는 정말로 제사장의 삶을 떠나기로 결정했습니다.

이 성직자는 고백 성사 동안에 예수와 가진 극적인 경험이 있었다. 그 당시 제사장 케빈은 가족 중에 죽음이 있었기 때문에 떠나야 만했다.

 

저는 그 이 사제의 말을 듣고 있었습니다. 신부님이 무척 흥분하셨어요 그래서 나는 그를 보고 말했다.

 

지금 들어라. 아버지, 당신은 성직자입니다. 자백하는 성례식에서 예수님이 오시는 것을 당신은 알지 못합니까? 왜 놀라게 된거야? 이것은 우리가 잊어 버린 것입니다 ....

 

때로는 우리가 모든 일을하고 있다고 생각하는 위험에 빠지기도합니다. 또는 '나는 여기에서 어떤 종류의 심리 상담을하고있다'. 또는 '나는 일종의 심리치료를하고있다'. 이것은 고백 성사의 의미가 아닙니다

 

자백은 예수님을 만나는 것에 관한 것입니다. 그리고 책에 적혀있는 것들 중 하나.

 

케빈 성직자 종종 말했듯이,"오늘날, 많은 사람들이 더 이상 고해 성사에 가지 않는다."

 

`나는 죄를 짓지 않는다' 하고 속으로 말한다.

 

 

 

(사제 코멘트)네, 다른 사람들도 저에게 말합니다. "나는 정말로 고백 성사에 갈 필요가 없다."나는 아무도 살해하지 않았다.나는 아무것도 훔치지 않았다. 그리고 이것이 내가 그들에게 항상 말하는 것이다. 넌 좋은 사람인 것처럼 들려...네가 알 카폰에 너 자신을 비교하는 한.

 

(지금 Briege가 계속됩니다.) 나는 이것을 말해 준다. 당신은 텔레비전을 켭니다. 오프라 윈프리 쇼를 보세요. 당신은 JerrySpringer쇼를 보았다. 나는 그들을 지켜보지 않는다. 하지만 토크 쇼에 대해서는 들어 봤어요. 그리고 다른 토크 쇼들도 있습니다. 너는 쇼에 나오는 손님들이 그들의 고백을 하는 것을 듣는다.

 

(사제 논평)아니요. 손님들은 자백하지 않습니다. 그들은 뽐내고 있다.

 

 

(지금 그녀의 이야기를 계속한다)나는 비행기 안에서 매번 고백하는 내용을 듣는다. 다른 사람들도 자신들의 죄를 내게 말해 준다. 그들이 저지른 끔찍한 일들. 물론 이것은 대화하는 동안에 있었다. 그러나 그들은 잘못된 사람들에게 접근합니다. 그리고 사람들이 간다. 하지만 그들은 사제에게 가지 않을 것이다. 제가 오늘 더그와 함께 제 남동생 피터에 대해 이야기하고 있었다는 것을 아실 겁니다. 나의 남동생은 오늘 생일을 축하할 것이다. 그래서 나는 그에게 생일 축하 인사를 해 주었다. 

 

음, 피터는 얼마 동안 아프다. 

 

그리고 우리는 거기에 가서 이웃들이 참석했습니다. 

 

케빈 신부는 집 안의 미사를 축하 할 것이라고 말했습니다. 피터는 암으로 아프다. 다른 환자들도 왔다. 아픈 사람들에게 그는 "너는 자백 성사를하고 싶니?"라고 말했습니다. 

아일랜드의 시골 사람들은 "글쎄, 나는 그 미사에가는 것을 게을리하지 않았다. 또는 그들은 말할 것입니다. 나는 선교사가 오면 항상 참석한다. 이들은 아일랜드에서 인기있는 말입니다. 하지만 관찰했습니다. 그리고 나는 고해 성사를 마친 사람들의 말을 들었다. 

 

나는 그들의 논평을 경청했다.

 " 경이로운 있었어요.제사장에게 가라. 대단했어요."

 

그 무거운 짐을 당신의 마음에서 들게하십시오.

 

당신은 그들이 믿었다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 그리고 사람들이 알았다면 이것은 아름다운 것입니다. 그것은 이것이 치료법이라는 것입니다. 그러나 그것은 하느님의 치료입니다. 제사장이 그걸 믿으면 .

 

많은 사람들이 그들에게 무엇이 잘못되었는지 모른다고보십시오. 그들은 고생한다. 그리고 그들은 오랫동안 자백을하지 않았기 때문에 갈 방법을 모르기 때문에 고백에가는 것을 두려워합니다. 

 

이 사람들은 도움이 필요하다. 나는 나의 경험과 기도하는 삶을 통해 알게 되었다. 

 

나는 신부님이 지식이라는 단어의 선물을 가지고 있다는 것을 안다. 

 하나님 께서 제사장에게 영감을 줄 것이라는 의미에서.

만약 신부가 그가 고해성사를 시작하기 전에 기도한다면

하느님 뭔가를 말할 것이다.

 

성직자들과 함께 일하는 것 때문에 이 사실을 알고 있어요

많은 인생이 달라졌어

 

고백 성사를 행하는 성직자들에 의해서. 그리고 이 고백 성사를 기도하는 듯한 경험으로 삼아라.

 

그리고 사람들은 장소를 찾고 심리 치료를 위해 온갖 곳을 다 갑니다.

 

그리고 새로운 나이대의 팔로워들은 말한다

 

자기 자신을 치료 수는 없습니다. 그것은 여러분의 잘못이 아니라, 할머니의 잘못입니다.

 

 (성직자의 발언) -아니면 전생의 잘못일 수도 있어.

 

 ((수녀 계속 말한다)고백하러 가는 것은 겸손함을 요구한다.

겸손 해지고 "고백 성사에 가고 싶다"고 말합니다.

 

고해 성사가 쉽기 때문이 아니다. 하지만 네가 진짜 누군지 깨닫는 축복을 받게 될 거야

 

그러면 여러분은, 여러분의 삶으로 무엇을 하게 될지를 알게 되는 축복을 받을 것입니다.

The Power of the Rosary

This is a transcript from youtube.

https://youtu.be/8Z4XKvk60ag

Good afternoon. My name is Fr. Joseph Gill. I am here to speak about the power of the rosary in history in the life of the saints and the power of rosary in my own personal life in my own personal walk with Christ. So forgive me if I tell some stories that you have heard before. For those who have been around in the Catholic Church for a long time may know some beautiful powerful stories about the rosary. But I think they are worth telling. And the first one happened in the year 1571. It is one of the most powerful events in the history. In 1571, the Ottoman Empire, the Muslims had began this naval campaign against Christianity. And in particularly, they were trying to conquer the Island of Venice and when they got to Venice, they were planning to spread out throughout Italy and throughout of all Christendom to take over Christianity. Now, they know that they have been beaten back for quite a bit after the Crusades and they were wanting to exact their revenge. And so they were planning in October a major naval battle to take this island of Venice. The Holy Roman Empire, the Papal states and many of the other small countries for example the Napes and Sicily, they themselves were their own separate countries. Heard about this plan. They started to gather an army. They started to equip naval ships. They started to recruit men who were willing to fight this battle. But they knew that they were outnumbered. In fact there were 12,000 less Christian Soldiers than were Muslim soldiers. Heading into this battle. They simply could not find any more people who were willing to fight with them and for them. And knowing that their situation was rather dire, the Pope at that time, Pope Pious the fifth, opened every church in Rome. And invited every priest to tell every person in their parish to pray the rosary for the success of this battle. This battle that was going to occur on October 7, 1571. And so the naval battle was raged, with thousands upon thousands of soldiers with hundreds of ships both from the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. And the two of them continued to fight all throughout the day and when all the dust has settled. The Christians had won the day. With the far less amount of ammunition. With far less ships. And far fewer men. And this miracle saved Christianity at that time from the Muslim invasion. And not only did it saved Christendom but it showed the power of the rosary. And Pope Pious the fifth was so amazed at the fact that everyone who prayed the rosary was able to obtain this victory from God that he declared October 7 the feast of Our Lady of Victory which we now know is Our Lady of the Rosary. The power of the rosary really saved Christianity from the impending doom that the Muslims wanted to reek upon it. This is the power of the rosary. The rosary is one of the most powerful weapons that we have against sin, weapons against addiction, weapons against fear, weapons against any evil in the world in fact Blessed Pious the ninth,one of our Popes said, “Give me an army saying the rosary and I will conquer the world.” Padre Pio used to call the rosary his weapon. And often if he is without it he would say, “Bring me my weapon.” And everyone knew what he was talking about. His rosary, this powerful prayer.  Don Columbia Marmion who was a great spiritual writer used a wonderful analogy. The rosary is to evil, what David’s stones were to Goliath. Because if you think about it, five small stones could not take down this magnificent giant. Unless God’s hand was with him. Unless the Holy Spirit guided those stones exactly. In the same way, how can a few small beads overcome the power of evil. Only if they were placed in the hands of someone more powerful than evil, the power of Our Lady, the power of Our Lord. Who are able through the rosary to overcome the vast network of evil that exists in the world and in our own human hearts. That is the power of the rosary. Over this past year, I had the privilege and the awesome duty in assisting an exorcism. I am not an exorcist but I was able to assist in this exorcism. And one of the stories from that exorcism that really stood out to me was one of the early sessions. We are all praying the Hail Mary very silently in our own minds. Nobody was speaking at all. We were all kind of laying our hands on this young man who was possessed. And all of a sudden his eyes snapped open and in an unearthly voice he cried out, “We can’t have him! We can’t have him!” Because of the power of that Haily Mary. The demons within him recognized that this young man was consecrated to Mary and to Jesus. And therefore nothing could touch him. nothing could conquer him because of the power of the hail mary and the power of the rosary. We were praying in our own minds. It is kind of a mind blowing experience for me to experience that. Same way the power of the rosary really exemplified itself in my own life. In my life, I kind of have a love and hate relationship with the rosary. Because growing up my parents forced us to pray the rosary once a week. It was on our way to church on Sundays we lived about 20 minutes from the church and we can get an entire rosary end by the time we get to church. And the only way that we would ever get a soda, only once a week on Sunday lunch, if we pray the rosary. And our parents would look at the rear view mirror to see if our lips were moving during the rosary. So, I grew up despising being forced to pray the rosary. Well, when I was around 16 years old. I kind of experienced a deep conversion. The Lord kind of touched my heart. Really helped me to fall in love with Him more and more. And so that Lent I decided I would take the hardest penance I could possibly think of which was to pray the rosary everyday. For me, that was torture. It was very difficult. And I used to be able to pray the rosary, nine minutes flat. I was like setting land speed records in this rosary because I just wanted to get it over with. But you know as psychologists say, how long it takes to break a habit is approximately 28 days. And luckily Lent is 40 days. And we have a plenty of time to practice. And when Lent is over I found that I could not put the rosary down. And I continued to pray it since I was 16 everyday. A very powerful experience in my own life to help me set free from some sins. Another friend of mine had a very powerful experience with the rosary. He was really struggling with lust and with addictions to pornography and he wanted to be free from this addiction. And he kept praying, ‘God, how long am I going to have this with me?’ How long until I’m freed and he kept hearing in his soul the voice of the Lord saying when you have prayed one rosary for every time you have committed that sin. You will be free. And he though to himself, ‘I better get started. I have a lot of rosaries to pray.’ He did prayed it everyday and after years of praying the rosary he was set free from this addiction to sin. And he experienced that glorious freedom of the children of God. That is the power of the rosary. One last story about the rosary before I talk about on how we can benefit from the rosary. Are any of you familiar with the story of Blessed Bartolo Longo? It is a wonderful saint story. Because it shows the incredible power of the rosary. Bartolo Longo started out as a Satanic priest. Not the way that the most saint story start out. He grew up in a good Catholic home. But when he went off to College some of his room mates were very involved in the worship of Satan and he started to go along with them to their black masses. Where they would desecrate the Eucharist, where they would spit upon the crucifix. All sorts of ways to mock and insult God. And he was so taken in by this and by the promise of Satan and who ever worshipped Satan, of money, pleasure, power, fame, popularity. He was so taken in by that, that he asked to be ordained a Satanic priest. And so he was. And he said it was the most terrifying experiences in his life. While they were ordaining him a Satanic priest, he was able to see demons flying around the room. He was so horrified by this, but he continued on with that path. And he started to lead black masses. And continued to mock the eucharist. Continued anything possible to practice vice. However, he was very deeply disturbed by the fact that he was having more and more visions of satan. And more and more thoughts of suicide. Thoughts of killing himself. And so he went to the Catholic priest. That was on his College campus and he asked him ‘I need help. I do not know what’s going on. I’m seeing visions of having despair within my soul. What do I need to do?” And the priest told him, to convert, to repent. To give up that sinful life and to turn his life over to the Lord. And he did. And he made a good confession. He got out of that life of Satanism. And he started to follow the Catholic path. However, he was still filled with despair. He continued to be plagued with the memories of the things that he had done. Of the way in which he mocked the Eucharist. Of the way in which he tried to draw away souls from Heaven. And he thought to himself, there is no way that I can be saved after what I did. and so he was actually planning to kill himself. He has set a date for his own suicide. And as that day was approaching. He had a dream. And in that dream that night, he saw the Blessed Mother. And the Blessed Mother held out a rosary. And said, If you pray this rosary daily. And you teach others to do so. You will be saved. And when he woke up he knew exactly what his life’s mission was. It was going to be to spread devotion to the rosary. And so literally with his bare hands. He started to rebuild this old church that has fallen into ruins. Much like Saint Francis. This church in Pompeii, Italy. And he rebuilt this church and dedicated it to Our Lady of the Rosary. After that he went around traveling around the country side. Teaching others about the power of the rosary. And this former satanic priest is now recognized as a Blessed. Blessed Bartolo Longo. Someone who was saved through the power of the rosary. Pretty remarkable story. Just shows that God’s mercy is endless for anyone no matter how bad their former life was. So what is the rosary all about? Well, the name rosary literally means a garden of roses or a crown of roses. So every time we pray the rosary it is like offering Mary a crown of roses. The origins of the rosary are probably not from Saint Dominic. But go even farther back than that. Because the rosary was often called the Poor Man’s Psalter. In other words, the poor man’s Book of Songs. Because there are a Hundred and fifty songs in the bible. These beautiful prayers that Jesus himself used. And many of the monks used to pray that constantly. They continued reciting the psalms, chanting them in a way to give praise and glory to God. But those who could not read, could not participate in that. And so the monks deviced a way in which people could pray one hundred and fifty prayers on beads in order to help them keep track. (Before the three mysteries in the rosary is prayed – The Joyful mystery. The Sorrowful Mystery. And the Glorious Mystery. These 3 mysteries makes up 150 beads). So that they are able to participate in some small way in the chanting and the prayers of the monks. And so this is how the rosary came to be 150 hail mary’s in order for the people to participate in the prayers of the monks. It was Saint Dominic however, who really popularized it. And spread devotion to the rosary so that many people could come to know this beautiful devotion. And so how do we pray the rosary well? How do we get the most out of it? Well, I love what John Paul the 2nd said about the rosary. The rosary is looking at the life of Christ through the eyes of Mary. And there are four things we can focus on while praying the rosary. First of all, we can focus on the words we are saying. The words themselves come right out of the scripture. Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you. Those are the words that the Angel Gabriel came and brought to Mary. And then the second half “Blessed are you among women.And Blessed is the fruit of thy womb.” The words of Elizabeth to her cousin Mary when she encountered the woman who was carrying the son of God. So these words are so sacred, they come right out of the Gospels. And if we focus from the words we will derive great benefit from that. But in addition to the words. We can focus on the virtues that are displayed in these mysteries. For example, when I think about the Annunciation. How Mary this young girl, was able to say ‘Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord’. I think of the virtue of docility to God’s Will. Or trusting in God. And when I pray that mystery of the rosary. I ask God for the grace for me, myself, to participate in that, to have that kind of trust in God and total surrender to His Holy Will. We can also think about intentions for the rosary. For example, when I pray the first sorrowful mystery which is the Agony in the Garden. I think about how Christ was mentally suffering in the garden. With the fears and anxieties that he knew was coming up in his great suffering and passion. I often offer that for people who struggle with mental illness. For those who are paralyzed by fear. So we can offer the rosary for our intentions. But then the final way in which we can benefit from the rosary is by really meditating on the mystery. Kind of putting yourself there. As you’re like immersing yourself in that scene. Try to see what it was like when Christ was going through his agony in the garden. Would I be one of those apostles who were falling asleep? Would have I stayed awake? Am I sometimes like Judas? Who betrayed the Lord? Am I like Jesus, going through a difficult time in my life. Having to pray ‘Father take this cup from me, but not as I will, but as You Will. What was Jesus look like? What do the angels look like when they came to administer him? What was it like when Jesus sweated blood? And then Jesus encounters Judas. And you ponder these all in your mind. And you put yourself there. And you have a real encounter with Christ. Using your imagination to bring the mystery of the rosary to life. The most important thing about the rosary is pray as you can. Not as you can not. Even to this day, I really cannot pray the rosary sitting down. I fall asleep. And I do not know if you have that ever happen to you. But there is this Catholic rumor that flies around that says that when you fall asleep praying the rosary that your guardian angel finished it for you. That’s not true. Guardian Angels do not finish prayers for you. Cause otherwise, I would always pray the rosary as like a Catholic version of counting sheep. You know, you go to sleep…Pray 3 hail mary’s and all of a sudden, your angel takes care of the rest. This is not true. So the way in which I pray the rosary personally is I walk around on a beautiful day. You see me strolling on the streets of Stanford praying the rosary. Not only it’s a good witness. But it helps me to really meditate and enter into the mysteries. It’s a really good idea to apply your mind to the mysteries of the rosary because if we simply recite the words and our hearts are not in it… we do not benefit very much from the grace. We have to apply our minds, our Wills, our Souls, our imagination to these great mysteries of the rosary and that’s how we benefit from it. Not just simply mindlessly reciting words but really making this a prayer. Making it a heart to heart encounter with Christ. So that’s been the story of my life with the rosary. It’s a beautiful devotion one that I encourage everyone to pray daily. One that our Lady encouraged The shepherd children at Fatima to pray daily. And through them the rest of the world is invited through them as well. Because the rosary has the power to overcome armies. It has the power to overcome Satan. The power to overcome addictions and sins. The power to convert souls. And ultimately the power to make us saints.

걱정을 다루는 방법 How to Handle Worry by Fr. Leo clifford

우리 주님께서는 어려운 날들에 대해 추종자들을 준비시키려는 삶의 불확실한면을 정직하게 바라 봅니다. 오늘 예수님이 너와 나에게 이야기하고있다. 그는 결코 장미 정원을 약속하지 않았다. 그리고 그는 인간에 대한 걱정의 영향을 안다. 불안은 전쟁과 허리케...
