THE SUFFERING AND GLORIFIED GOD
When one catholics who have reached the use of reason and begin to be in danger of death from sickness, as an old age should receive the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. We receive the sacrament while one is still in full possession of our faculties.
We should prepare ourselves to receive the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick worthily and it has God's glorious gifts for the sick, the effects are, an increase of our sanctifying grace at times the restoration of our life of grace, our forgiveness of our venial sins even mortal sins if we repent and enable to confess our sins, our remission of our temporal punishment which is due for unremitted sins, our strength to suffer sickness with patience inorder to resist temptations, our recovery of our bodily health when it is good for our soul. By acts of faith, hope, charity and by fostering in our desire to identify ourselves fully with God's will. But only a priest can validly administer the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
When I am done, with God's help. I have kept my promise. These are my vocation that I promised to do when I began this work as missionary of faith, hope and charity. From all that what I have said undone, either too little, I beg pardon and those who are satisfied, I should ask not to thank me but to join me in rejoicing and in thanking God, while singing this song to my soul, Like my soulmate.

Time, flowing like a river.Time, beckoning me.Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever.But time keeps flowing like a river into the sea.Goodbye my Love, m...

HONORING THE SAINTS
We honor the saints in heaven because they practiced great virtue when they were on earth and because in honoring those who are the chosen friends of God, we honor God himself.
When we honor the saints by imitating their holy lives, by asking them to intercede with God for us and by showing our respect to their relics and images.
When we appeal to the intercession of saints, we ask them to offer our prayers to God for us.
We know that the saints will intercede with God for us because we are with God and have great love for us.
We honor relics of saints because they are remains from the bodies of saints and objects connected with the saints and with our Lord. It is right to show respect to the statues and pictures of Christ and of the saints just as it is right to show our respect to the images of those whom we honor and love on earth.
We honor Christ and saints when we pray before the crucifix, relics and sacred images because we honor the persons they represent. We adore Christ and venerate the saints.
We do not pray to the crucifix, to the images and relics of the saints but to the person they represent.

EHUD THE LEFT HANDED JUDGE WHO DEFEATED KING EGLON
When Israel's disobedience and it's consequences of two judges, Othniel and Ehud made it clear that God is ready to help his people when they acknowledge their need for him and constantly reminds us of God's continued faithfulness inspite of Israel's lack of faith. The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and the Lord strengthened King Eglon of Moab against Israel because they had done what was evil in the sight of the Lord. In alliance with the Ammonites and the Amalekites, he went and defeated Israel and they took possession of the city of palms. So the Israelites served King Eglon of Moab eighteen years.
When the Israelites cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left handed man, The Israelites sent tribute by him to King Eglon of Moab. Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length and he fastened it on his right thigh under his clothes. Then he presented the tribute to King Eglon of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
When Ehud had finished presenting the tribute on their way. But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal and said "I have a secret message for you , O King." So the king said, "Silence," and all his attendants went out from his presence. Ehud came to him, while he was sitting alone in his cool roof chambet and said, "I have a message from God for you." So he rose from his seat. Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into Eglon's belly, the hilt also went in after the blades and the fat closed over the blade for he did not draw the sword out of his belly and the dirt came out. Then Ehud went out into the vestibule and closed the doors of the roof chamber on him and locked them. After be had gone, the servants came.
When they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "He must be relieving himself in the cool chamber. So they waited until they were embarrassed.
When he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them. There was their lord lying dead on the floor. Ehud escaped while they delayed and passed beyond the sculptured stones and escaped to Seirah.
When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim and the Israelites went down with him from the hill country having him at their head. He said to them, "Follow after me, for the Lord has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites and allowed no one to cross over. At that time they killed about ten thousand of the Moabites, all strong, able men, no one escaped. So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.

THE CENTER OF MY LIFE
When my general faith in God as my Savior is not sufficient for my salvation, I must be consistent with my faith and keep his commandments. Christ himself said, "If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:17). I keep the commandments of God by living a good moral life according to the will of God. They are called human acts. My human acts are those I perform knowingly, willingly and not mere instincts. The moral quality of my human acts is determined from three sources which are, my object, my intention of the agent and my circumstances. My object of a human act is the particular good deliberately chosen by my will. My intention of the agent is my motive for which something is done. My circumstances of a human act are the conditions under which my act is performed.
When I made my human act a good act, my object, intention of the agent and circumstances of my acts must all be good. My moral acts is an action that is done freely and deliberately. Therefore, imputable for me as person who does it. Thus, my human act is a moral act. There are good and bad moral acts. My morally good act is one that leads me to heaven and my morally bad act leads me away from my eternal destiny. Some acts that are morally bad because they entail a disorder in my will. They are blasphemy, murder and adultery. I am responsible for my human acts. My responsibility is my duty as a people who assume for the actions I perform. I deserve to be either rewarded and punished for my good and bad actions, respectively. My conditions for moral responsibility are knowledge and freedom. My freedom is most perfect when it is directed towards God, the Supreme Being. The factors that diminish my responsibility are, ignorance, emotion, passion, fear, past habits, external force and violence.

THE GRACE OF GOD IN US
When God made us holy as Couples For Christ Ministries, by giving us supernatural life which is our sharing in the life of God. Our grace is a supernatural gift of God bestowed on us through the merits of Jesus Christ for our salvation. There are two kinds of graces which are, sanctifying grace and actual grace. Our sanctifying grace is a supernatural quality that dwells in our human soul by which we shares in the life of God. The chief effects of sanctifying grace are, it makes us holy and pleasing to God, it makes us adopted childrens of God, it makes us temples of God and it gives us the right to heaven. Our sanctifying grace is necessary for our salvation because it is the supernatural life which alone enables us to attain our supernatural happiness of heaven. Our actual grace is a supernatural help from God which enlightens our will to do good and avoid evil. Our actual grace is necessary for us who have attained the use of reason because without it, we cannot resist for long the power of temptation and perform other actions which merit our reward in heaven.
We can resist the grace of God for our will is free and God does not force us to accept his grace. Our principal ways of obtaining grace are prayer and the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist.
We can make our most ordinary actions merit a heavenly reward by doing them in the state of grace for the love of God.
