Jesus Desires Mercy, Not Sacrifice

Billions of animals suffer and die unnecessarily for human taste pleasure and greed

Lord have mercy on us

May you comfort these animals in their trials

May your love awaken more humans so we can may show mercy and love to animals

May your light guide us out of darkness of animal agriculture, factory farms, and slaughter houses

Your ultimate desire is mercy for animals, not sacrifice of animals for human self centeredness

Just as you are our shepherd and protect and guide us

May we be good Sheperd’s to the trillions of animals and love them with a pure heart

May we preserve compassion and love in our hearts by not supporting violence and death in anyway so the spirit may live within us

Beautiful Quotes From Thomas Merton

Thomas Merton was a monk who lived in the 20th century. He spent his monastic life living the gospels, studying eastern religions and doing interfaith dialogue with them. I share a deep connection with him even though I am too young to meet him in real life. ❤️🙏🏻

The Simplicity of Christ

Still your body and mind

Open your heart to love and receive God’s unconditional love

This love sets our soul on fire and compels us to love our neighbors, enemies, and give unconditionally to the poor just as Christ did

Now follow Christ in the depths of our soul in God’s divine love

The human mind enjoys making Christianity complex but following the way is quite simple 

So simple a child could understand it

The challenge is not getting distracted by our mind and the world which tries to guide us off the narrow path into death and destruction

Blossom With God’s Love

Without God’s love, all life begins to wither and die.

With God’s love all things blossom and bare beautiful fruit to be enjoyed by all.

The spirits unconditional love heals all wounds and unites all things.

Seek his love within your heart and you will see God within all creation.

May we all blossom with God’s light of love

❤️🙏🏻

The First Will Become Last

In the end

The first will become last

The last will become first

The meek and humble shall inherit the earth

The prideful will perish and burn up

In this world the rich and powerful rule

But in the Kingdom of God those who are humble,loving, and peaceful reign

If you look at the surface of life

All you see is suffering from greed, fear, and hatred

But look deep within yourself and you will see the ultimate dimension

You will walk in the Kingdom of God with Christ

And rivers of living water will rush within your soul

Shining the light of love into the darkness of the world

The Greatest Love Story

The greatest love story is not between two people but falling in love with Christ within our own heart and soul

The love of Christ fulfills our inner most being

God’s love purifying our heart and soul of worldly attachments that bring us suffering

The connection between us and God’s love brings us everlasting joy and peace

Something another human can not fulfill

This world romanticized love between two human beings as the pinnacle of love but without the connection to God’s love it will lead to pain, suffering, divorce, adultery and trauma

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

When Christ is Within me

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 and Christ

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

This World Will Fade Away

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
