On the eve of Ash Wednesday, 2009, we are asked and encouraged to focus our attention to the issues that are really important in our personal lives. "From dust we came and back to dust we will return." Yet, the important information needs to be positive for a committed spiritual person. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are essential to growth in the spiritual life. During Lent, we are empowered to manage our time, our talents, and our treasures to seek the Kingdom of God and His Kingship over us. To make significant progress in our spiritual growth, which is the most neglected treasure in our human life, our efforts are to learn what will assist us to nourish and to foster environments that are conducive to Ladder of Achievement Successes. We will find that holiness, formation, and the positive cultivation of our various human environments will create a new attitude and a new creation towards making spiritual achievements that are founded in eternity.
Prayer is essentially communication with our Creator through His human instruments of change. Before talking to others about our Creator, we need to have a personal relationship with our Creator through the power of prayer. All of the various opportunities of intensive holiness development comes from a personal encounter with the "ALPHA AND THE OMEGA" every moment of our human existence. God's love is expressed through actions of dedicated human beings who recognize the living presence of God in our lives.
Formation encourages us to learn more about the "Uncaused Cause" of all Creation. Using spiritual food with the written and the spoken "Word made Flesh" from the origins of true spiritual growth enhances our chances of gaining Wisdom through Understanding of the divinely inspired Words of God. There are many sources of God's creation that gives us examples of exemplary lives lived for a divinely inspired purpose. When you choose literature to read, choose only the best to develop a Spiritual Achievement Level that is unsurpassed and divinely inspired. His Word is Everlasting and Enduring for each day.
Creating better environments for the common good takes spiritual preparation beyond the usual and hasty human approach. Mother Teresa gave outstanding examples in her life on earth with her attention to spiritual growth through intensive prayer, fasting, and almsgiving beyond the heroic. Even the Indian government was amazed at her attention and her respect for the poorest of the poor in her environments in Calcutta. She earned an earthly proclamation of her honest and humble attention to the neglected, the homeless, the dying, the diseased, the handicapped, the destitute, and the unborn. Her outstanding example has earned her an eternal reward far greater than any earthly prize.
Let us make this Lenten Season an opportunity to renew our pledge to the Creator of our human existence to grow in holiness, in study, and in acting with the joy of love for the human environments that are our challenges. "Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to ME." "Where two or three gather in My name, there am I in their midst." Pray for the conversion of our United States of America to GROW SPIRITUALLY during these times of economic challenges. Take the initiative to make amends for the failures of others who have brought economic disasters to the hard-working people of our Republic. May our homes become a LIVING TEMPLE and an ENTHRONEMENT OF GOD'S PRESENCE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GOD IS LOVE!
