When Christ is within me
I become like a child again
Joyful and curious
When Christ is within me
I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me
When Christ is within me
True peace and love flow through me
Bringing light into the darkness of the world
When Christ is within me
I become like a child again
Joyful and curious
When Christ is within me
I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me
When Christ is within me
True peace and love flow through me
Bringing light into the darkness of the world
The Buddha left his riches and gave himself to poor
The Buddha taught loving-kindness for his neighbors and had deep compassion and love for his enemies
He taught radical non-violence
Christ was within him and loved him
He remained in the vine and bared much fruit
He was a true disciple of the Father and remained in his love
Do not look at beliefs as a way to define another
Our life is our message
Do not cling to this world
All worldly riches, fame, and possessions will fade away in the end
But God’s love is infinite and everlasting
Christ firmly stands within us till the end
The inner riches of being with God are what satisfy our soul
The outer riches only give us temporary pleasure but leave us hollow
Only his love can give our soul true peace and joy
If you want to be free
If you desire union with God in perfect love
Always point the arrow inwards
For God is always within us
Patiently waiting for us to listen
As Jesus said in the gospel of Matthew
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
We must enter our inner room where the divine therapy takes place
Focus on your breathe till your mind is calm and at ease so you can hear his spirit
Contemplate God’s love and words within your heart and you will be healed, restored, and guided
Bow to your brother’s and sister’s
Bow to the homeless
Bow to the sick and mentally ill
Bow to animals and the planet
Bow to your enemies
Bow to the entire cosmos
Bow to your last breathe
And God will bow to you
And fill you with his spirit of love and peace
If we want to be close to God
We must only strive for perfect humility
“With an empty mind and open heart, let yourself be naked before grace.
Let your mind rest in this dark awareness of God in all of this naked existence.
It is not who you are or what you’ve been that God sees with merciful eyes, but what you want to be.
Contemplative prayer, when done right, is the respectful love and ripe fruit.
It’s the cloud of unknowing, the hidden love-longing offered by a pure spirit.
It takes you into silence, far from thoughts and words.”
These quotes are from “The Cloud of Unknowing” which is a book of anonymous European monks from the medieval times. Full video on YouTube.
Enjoy 🙏🏻
As I walk with the homeless
I see the divinity within them
What the world sees as unclean and unworthy
I see through the lens of compassion, mercy, and unconditional love
They are my brothers and sisters
They are worthy of love
Narrow is this path my lord
Stay near me as I walk into the darkness of this world
For you are the light of the world
May I drink with you at your well
The everlasting source of love within my own heart
May I eat with you
For you are the bread of life
O’ Christ
My soul only strives to be with you
And rest within your love
May all beings find peace today
May all beings be safe
May all beings find rest
May all beings be free
May all beings be joyful
Resting in the inner source of love within their own heart
Jesus’s one commandment to his disciples was to love your neighbor
What is your neighbor?
Your neighbor is the poor, sick, and homeless
Your neighbor is the immigrant
Your neighbor is the LGBTQ community
Your neighbor is the pig, chicken, cow, and sheep
Your neighbor is the rainforest and it’s many wildlife
Your neighbor is the Earth
Love them with all your heart and soul
Don’t let fear, hatred or greed keep you from expanding your circle of love and compassion
