Letter to an Atheist Whom I Love

By The Communion Veil -




The Way, The Truth and the Life.


Dear ______

The reason I am writing you is because I hope that by my witness you would come to know the truth.

My dear friend, I have experienced God personally.  If God is love for each of us individually, there will be no “evidence” or “proof” of that love, the love of God is a personal experience and when a soul experiences it, it is for that soul alone, not to be proven.   If God must “prove” his love, doesn't that cheapen it?  We have loved men in our life, how it would hurt us, if in loving someone they turn to us and say, “Prove it!”.  No.  God provides no proof for what He gives a soul in love, because it IS love, the purest love of all.    There is no greater intimacy than the love of God that He pours out on a soul that He loves.  I have felt this love.  During prayer, I felt the love of God fill me to the brim.  I was given the knowledge that it was only a small part of the love He has for me, yet I knew that if he gave me even the smallest drop more of His love I would die.  The flesh cannot handle the full love of God, it will die.  Knowing this, and loving Him so, I said, “Ok, let’s go.”  (Meaning I was ready to die.)  He pulled back and said, “Not yet.”   

God gives us such a beautiful reason and intellect.  He gives us a little, and wants us to use our intellect to learn more.  What did this teach me?  It taught me that God was in control of when I would live of die.  He holds my heart in his hands and gently massages my heart so it will beat and give my lungs ability to take and expel air.  But then I gasped when I realized that I wasn't the only one He was doing this for.  Every person I met, or passed or spoke to, He was doing the same thing for them, and He loved them just as much as He did me.    Have you ever loved someone so much and have them turn their back on you and reject you?  How much does God hurt to those whom He loves so much that deny even His very existence!  He is REAL ____  He has sent you so many graces  for you to come to Him, but you keep pushing Him away. 

______, I love you and I am writing you this because of that love for you.  Death comes for us all, and what we do here God remembers for eternity.  You will be more alive after your death than here.    There is truly only one way to the Father, and that is His Son Jesus.  I once asked God, “Buddha, Mohammed or Jesus,  I want to know.”  Well, He let me know it was only one person that ever lived…His only Son Jesus.   I felt the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ!  Scripture was given to me, “Knock and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find.”  

I love you ______ and want to see you in Paradise one day. 

I am going to ask God, if He will to let you see the truth  Please don’t push Him away. 

God Bless,

Adele

SAINT ELIZABETH, MOTHER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST- Feast: November 5

By -

Elizabeth appears in the Gospel of Luke, where she is described as “righteous in the eyes of God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly,”.  I imagine that she was warm, loving and obviously a safe harbour for young Mary, who was not married when she conceived.  When Mary came to visit her, Elizabeth was pregnant with St. John the Baptist and in her sixth month: “Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And how have I deserved that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of thy greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who has believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished.”

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -

This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem...

'Greater Love: Richie Fernando SJ', a joy-filled Filipino missionary

 I haven't been able to post for more than a week as I was giving an eight-day directed retreat to eight sisters of the Missionaries of Charity near Manila. While I had some access to the internet it was rather slow. I had intended to make a post here on the murder of Fr Fausto Tentorio PIME , a 59-year-old Italian priest, in the Diocese of Kidapawan, Mindanao, on Monday 17 October. I will save that post for a later date. As I was looking for a video about Father Fausto I came across one about Brother Richard Michael 'Richie' Fernando SJ, a Filipino Jesuit scholastic who died while trying to prevent a troubled and disabled young man in Cambodia from throwing a grenade. That was in 1996 - on 17 October. Father Fausto gave his life exactly 15 years later. I remember the mixture of sorrow and pride I felt when I read of the death of Brother Richie, pride as a missionary in the Philippines that a young Filipino seminarian had given his life so spontaneously in order to sav...
