Graititude!

...for unless in humility He had come down to us, none of us by our own merits could ever go up to Him.---St. Leo the Great, pope, 5th century

 

Thank You Jesus! Thank You Father! Thank You Holy Spirit!! What an amazing plan of love our God is working out in us daily! Baptism begins our journey, we are to quote Jesus, "born again of water and Spirit", we begin anew by the Holy Spirit's regenerating power, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! Think of it, we are no longer slaves to ego and sin, and as "new creatures", we must battle ego and sin until the end. It is by His grace that we battle.  This is why we need His Sacraments for they affect the actual grace they represent in our little lives when we join them to our faith. We need His Body and Blood, for this is how He said to abide in Him, and to know Life! We need His forgiveness, we need the penance and humility these Sacraments bring. The Holy Spirit of love is the One working in these gifts given through the Church. It is His work in man. He came down to us in humility so that we could go up to Him in humility. Diablo hates humility. Praise You Jesus, our Beloved!
