Thanksgiving

Father John said yesterday that out of 10 lepers healed by Jesus 10 were healed physically and only 1 was healed completely, meaning: spiritually too. Why? Because he came back and Thanked. Thanksgiving.

The woman who was sick, paralyzed for 18 years and could only see earth, not heaven. She was healed by Jesus. Our souls are tied to the ground, paralyzed. We need Him to heal us. Completely. Thank the Healer for what He has done, and He’ll do even more. Don't do that to get the result, but be thankful, out of love. Blessed be the Lord!

Arthur Christmas (?)

Watched "Arthur Christmas" yesterday. I'd say it's a great and very funny cartoon, but one thing keeps me from signing that statement: it's, you know, that great Christmas tradition - all about presents for kids. Isn't it beautiful? Like there was no Christ born.

new martyrs

Seems it's very easy to become a martyr even these days... although, that shouldn't be a surprise. Now we have new saint Ayman. But must be really tough for his parents...
