Appreciating the Gift
Pride and Humility. Do they impact the way we think about the gift of salvation?
Word of Life - September 2010
How can we live these words this month?

The Gate
(please, read first the entry in my journal section on the website...)
How do you feel about the gospel passage? what do you feel about the crowd left out?

Word of Life - August 2010
AUGUST 2010 - “Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment
of what was spoken to her by the Lord.”

What is the Word of Life?
The Word of Life is a word of scriptures taken from one of the Sunday liturgies of the Month. It's given to us to put it into practice and live it out in our daily life. Check the mail website, www.heavenwards.org, for a brief commentary and suggestions on how to put into practice. Come back here to share your experience, both negative and positive.
Living the Gospel is not easy but we can certainly strive to do that. Eventually, we can get better at it. What matters is to remain focused on God's Word.

Treasure and heart
More about possessions and attachments. Why? Wasn’t the work we did last week enough? Apparently not! And with good reason. Possessions create deep roots in our hearts, and these may shape the form and give direction to our lives.
Of all that I have, what do I consider a treasure? I would like to say that God is my treasure, but I am not there yet. When I say it, I know that I desire that with all my life, but I struggle. Struggling is good, I believe; we struggle for things that we consider important enough to struggle. (This made me think of the lyrics in a song “what’s worth the prize is always worth the fight.”)
God is all that I want. God is all that I seek. And yet, at times I feel as though He escapes me. I cannot box God and place Him into a treasure box.
The continuous struggle towards the Treasure becomes a basic struggle for importance, meaning and relevance in my life. What fills my thoughts? What gives reason to my being?
If God is my Pearl of Great Price, the Treasure hidden in the field, what am I going to do to protect such a gift?
