Chapter 3 The body Mysteries

The Mysteries of the Body (Mysterium Corpus) (Daily for Forty days and then on Mondays)

God so loved man that He designed the body of the chaste virgin man in the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the chaste faithful virgin man. Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said: ”Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. God created man in His Image, in the Divine Image He created him, male and female He created them.”
God so loved the woman that He designed the body of the chaste virgin woman in the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the chaste faithful virgin woman. Genesis 2:22, “The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.”
God so loved man and woman that He designed the valid conjugal union to transform the two into one flesh. Thus the two together with the Living Spirit of God would reflect the Holy Trinity. Therefore, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the validly pure and faithful conjugal person. Genesis 2: 23-24, "This one, at last, is bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh …. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh."
Christ affirmed that from the beginning God designed the bodies of the validly married couple to transform permanently into one flesh. And Christ called the separated couple, single man and single woman, to remain chaste so man and woman would always reflect the image of the Holy Trinity. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to being reflected in the body of the separated chaste faithful man and woman. Mark 10: 2-12, Jesus said in reply, "But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female, and the two shall become one flesh.’ Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” Mathew 5:48 And Jesus calls us, “Therefore, be perfect as your heavenly Father is Perfect.”
The Holy Trinity in the Baptized and in those worthily nourishing on the Holy Eucharist would birth and shape the receiver into a new Ark of the Covenant. The suffering Servant Jesus immolates Himself to become one flesh with the valid receiver in a sacrificial Marital Bond, and to melt with the receiver in as much as the receiver responds to Christ. Thus, the life of Christ on earth extends to Christ living on earth in every formed and nourished new Ark of the Covenant. “He who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood abides in Me and I in him.” (John 6:57). “I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:23). “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” (Galatian 2:20). “The body ... is ... for the LORD, and the LORD is for the body... and that you are not your own.” (1Corinthians 6:13,19)

0.1 Day One

If you are not a chaste virgin man/or woman, a chaste validly married or a separated chaste man/or woman, then discuss it with a priest and make amends to fall into one of the three designs that reflect the image and likeness of the Creator.
Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Gifting your body and blood as a Martyr for Christ or gifting to Christ your virgin chastity, valid conjugal chastity, or committed chastity is the bare minimum for Sainthood.

0.2 Day Two

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Focus on the hidden treasure rather than the obvious repeating, “Obvious suffering is hidden treasure. Obvious reward is hidden punishment.” The LORD designed all circumstances to help win the Life with the LORD; but the person's choices (and/or choices made by his/her stewards) can cause the loss or the win.

0.3 Day Three

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Sin makes us unholy and imperfect. Therefore, Be Holy and Be Perfect is to be without sin, and being without sin is impossible for humans to achieve without the union with God. While our sacrificing, loving, praying, and forgiving do not make us holy or in union with God, un-sacrificing, unloving, un-praying, and unforgiving can sour, strain, and jeopardize our union with God. The Holy gift of grace saying, “Let there be” (Genesis 1:3) that cleanses us of sin, and makes us holy and perfect in union with God.

0.4 Day Four

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Understand that obvious sufferings are hidden treasures. It is best that we forgive the world and the anger it brought us for the love of Christ and the reward of Heaven.

0.5 Day Five

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I excuse Satan for being Satan, but I don't excuse myself for not being Christ.

0.6 Day Six

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Limiting sexual relationships to the first man and woman is not a form of punishment and promiscuity is not a form of reward. Promiscuity is mainly shifting focus to the living life and the accidentals during life rather than sacrificing and aiming at nothing but winning life with our Creator after death. Marriage is not the reward and staying chaste is not the punishment. Likewise, hard work during life is not the punishment, nor is richness or happiness during life is the reward. On the contrary, the reward is winning permanent life with our Creator and the punishment is the permanent loss of the life with our Creator.

0.7 Day Seven

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Instead of gifting your chastity to someone not committed to a valid Conjugal chastity, gift your purity to Christ Who offered you His Holy Body and Blood.

0.8 Day Eight

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

During life, we are given the opportunity for labor and death. Thus, either we labor and die for Christ or the devil.

0.9 Day Nine

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

The ninth Commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor's wife” clearly indicates that you shall not covet your neighbor's current's wife, your neighbor's separated wife, the mother of your neighbor's children, and your neighbor's future wife-to-be. Thus promiscuity is coveting the neighbor's wife even though culture flavors it with acceptable (but manipulative) titles such as remarrying, dating, befriending, hanging out, hooking-up, engaging, having fun, experimenting, experiencing, practicing, mastering, partying, enjoying, freeing, passing time, or loving.

0.10 Day Ten

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I view the Mass celebration as a conjugal sacrificial love, because it contains the essential elements of marital love, where the people involved physically become transformed into one flesh. I consider every Mass to be an incredible Wedding Feast of bodies abiding in conjugal sacrificial love that transforms Christ’s Body, my body, and the Bride Virgin Mary into one body. So that, every Christian who abides in Christ becomes likewise abided in mine. Thus, we all become branches in the Vine Tree of Eternal Life. Christ stated in John 6: 56 “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.” Therefore, to abide in Christ and for Christ to abide in me is a conjugal sacrificial love that transforms those involved into one flesh.

0.11 Day Eleven

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

0.12 Day Twelve

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

We cannot become one family everlasting even with our biological families without becoming one body abiding with Christ and the Holy Veiled Virgin Mary.

0.13 Day Thirteen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

The least you should gift the Creator is 10% of your treasures, that is, 10% of your time and talents. Thus, you should offer God your chastity, a daily Mass, and an hour of prayers. Soon, you will fall so in love with God that you will want to give Him more. But, if you excuse some days, soon you will become a thief of time and talents.

0.14 Day Fourteen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

0.15 Day Fifteen

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

0.16 Day Sixteen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

One cannot get closest to Christ without getting closest to the Virgin Mary.

0.17 Day Seventeen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Although Christ stated “This is My Body...This is My Blood;” nevertheless, the consecrated Bread and Wine become physically both the Groom’s (Christ's) and the Bride’s (Virgin Mary's) Body and Blood transformed into one Body. The celebration Mass Feast of the Breaking of Bread is a celebration of a sacrificial Wedding Feast every time it is celebrated.

0.18 Day Eighteen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

If the lamp symbolizes your body's preparedness, then the oil is the keeping lit of the body; thus, you keep watch and ready to meet your heavenly Spouse. While the body is your heart, your preparedness with extra oil shows your mind is prepared with surety to the details to meeting your Spouse. The mind wants the body lit all night and ready when the Groom arrives. The mind wants the lamp clean and its light is shinny and bright. Thus, the mind seeks the Sacrament of Reconcilliation of our heart, mind and soul, so that our lamp is spotless and ready.

0.19 Day Ninteen

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

0.20 Day Twenty

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Christ did not institute the celebration of the Holy Mass to transform the bread and wine into Christ, so that Christ may live quietly in the Church’s Tabernacle. The Mass is not a complete conjugal sacrificial love without the willing receiver saying “Amen” and repeating with the Virgin Mary as in Luke 1:38, “let it be with me according to Your Word.” In other words, I say with Christ, “Amen! Let me abide in you and you abide in me according to Your Word.” Then the father priest, who is the visible image of the invisible Heavenly Father, is authorized to witness the Wedding Feast.

0.21 Day Twenty-One

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

0.22 Day Twenty-Two

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Dead days of my life are every day that I do not abide with the Holy Host. Now I understand. Christ’s words resonate in my mind, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Blood, you have no Life in you” (John 6:53). Therefore, every day I do not eat and drink the Holy Host, I do not live.

0.23 Day Twenty-Three

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

The opportunity to abide with the Creator is itself the Everlasting Life. Any gift offered by Christ who is God to anyone is the most generous and incredible opportunity that is worth sacrificing our earthly life for without hesitation. St. Paul summarized the grace to unite with the Creator as, “For if we live, we live for the LORD, and if we die, we die for the LORD; so then, whether we live or die, we are the LORD’s” (Romans 14:8). Living in unity with Christ who is God is “Eternal Life” (John 6:60), “Peace” (John 14:27), “Everlasting Way” (Psalm 139:24), “Love” (1 John 4:8), “Perfect” (Matthew 5:48), “Holy” (Leviticus 11:44), and “Truth” (John 14:6). Today, my opportunity to die as a martyr for Christ is limited. Thus, I must commit to chastity and I must embrace every opportunity for suffering that comes my way.

0.24 Day Twenty-Four

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Stay with me LORD. Stay with me. I beg You, stay with me LORD and have mercy on me.

0.25 Day Twenty-Five

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Our Baptism with the LORD is our opportunity to complete our earthly life together as married intimate lovers. An intimate marital union with the LORD would make every moment of our life worth living and we would even rejoice in every suffering that comes our way. Union with our Lover God would make us joyfully and lovingly express His Word, Heart and Mind to everyone we encounter “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” Thus, with our union with Christ, “Everything is possible” (Mark 9:23). Union with Christ is an intimate marital love that makes the journey in life peaceful and joyful regardless of the harshness of the temptation of the world. Just as in any marriage, the union with the LORD makes any circumstances, difficulties, poverty, illness or suffering peacefully and joyfully bearable, because “Not as the world gives do I give it to you” (John 14:27). Praying is writing and calling your Beloved so that every day is thoughtful and loving.

0.26 Day Twenty-Six

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Christ renews our baptismal marital union with an ongoing eternal divine nourishment to feed the Divine within us; the food is His own divine Body and Blood in union with God. Thus, our rebirth of the divine and human union can now nourish on the Christ who is God. Only Christ who is God can understand the nourishment we require. Thus, the holy Mass is the ongoing marital feast and divine nourishment to celebrate as the One Family in heaven, earth, past and present, divinely blended in marital baptismal union with God the Father. Can you excuse a day when you are not a worthy participant of the Mass Feast of miracles! You are an essential participant in binding with the Holy Host, so that you become a living Ark of the Covenant of Christ. Without your essential participation, Christ in the consecrated Bread will be waiting for you.

0.27 Day Twenty-Seven

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

When a qualified man and a woman unite in conjugal love, they physically transform into one flesh, and in fourty-weeks a new transformation may result in a new body. When Christ’s Holy Host abides daily with a willing participant the person is transformed and perhaps in less than fourty-days the person will be transformed into an heir and coheir of Christ.

0.28 Day Twenty-Eight

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I have nothing, I need nothing, I lack nothing, and I desire nothing, except You my LORD.

0.29 Day Twenty-Nine

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

The Creator of everything describes life on earth as labor and death; many foolishly lose the ultimate goal of life by chasing the ultimate living life.

0.30 Day Thirty

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Reading the Holy Bible, knowing the Church teachings, and praying all help us to nourish our minds by knowing and loving the Creator's Design and abiding by His Rules and Commandments. However, we also need to nourish our bodies and spirits so that we reflect the Holy Trinity (Creator's Design). Therefore, we need to nourish our bodies by the Heavenly Eucharistic Bread of the Eternal Life. Additionally, sin wounds our souls, thus we need the healing power that Christ established in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Repenting our sins to the Christ who is acting in the priests, assures us of the healing of our souls, allows us to receive the Holy Eucharistic Christ worthily, and helps us to abide by the Creator's Design.

0.31 Day Thirty-One

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Don't waste your talents, but at the least draw interest on it at the Bank; thus, at least fast and pray unceasingly.

0.32 Day Thirty-Two

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Trials present an opportunity of suffering. The sufferer must commit to remain chaste and carry his cross to the daily Holy Eucharist. Suffering is the path to Sainthood.

0.33 Day Thirty-Three

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

My LORD, My God have mercy on me. The moment my blended Genetic flesh formed, You gave me the opportunity to abide by Your Design. My LORD, My God, now I know at every moment, my life disappears. The past takes all the joy and sadness I had, leaving me with memories and fantasies. Today becomes what I have. My LORD, My God have mercy on me.

0.34 Day Thirty-Four

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

One cannot fool the Creator, nor Satan; one can fool only himself. The wedding garment is the baptismal marital union with God. During life we must care for our baptismal marital union with an intimate relationship with our Bridegroom. We must avoid betraying our marital relationship with an outside love relationship with any idolater regardless of the excuses and rationalizations we use. We must remain faithful to our first Bridegroom at every moment. As soon as we blemish our baptismal marital union, we must seek absolution from all those involved, our Creator, and the valid authorized priests who act in the person of Christ. We ought not to neglect feeding our baptismal marital union with heavenly nourishment graced to us by Christ in the holy Eucharist to keep our lamps lit with heavenly oil. While awaiting the King's angels' calling, we are called to help our brothers and sisters to remain vigilant and faithful to their baptismal marital union and garment, just as we ought to do so that we can celebrate as one family in one heavenly feast. I gratefully thank the Father for prolonging the earthly life of our saintly true brothers and sisters for our good, as expressed by Saint Paul in Philippians 1:22-23, “I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.”

0.35 Day Thirty-Five

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I thank my persecutors, deceivers, and betrayers for the wonderful opportunity they offered me to become intimate with Christ.

0.36 Day Thirty-Six

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Every woman has the right to choose what happens to her body; her body is her genetic flesh blend as gifted to her by her parents and the Creator. However, no woman has the right to kill the child that resides temporarily in her womb; the child has a separate and different blended genetic flesh. To kill the child would break the Creator’s Design. Likewise, if the marriage ends, the woman cannot have totalitarian rights to the children; she must allow the father to have equal and shared custody of his children. Additionally, a validly conjugal man and woman cannot have a totalitarian authority to their own body because the two become one flesh. Nor do they have the right to oppose or fend-off God's partnering with them to bring forth children. To refuse children would be to grossly break the Creator’s permanent Design.

0.37 Day Thirty-Seven

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Our minds and sensations are being targeted by worldly distractions and dependencies that we have perceived as essential and worthy. However, such dependencies are sure to clutter and distract our minds even during the hour of prayers. I have found that praying of the Rosary is the most effective remedy to my distracted mind. In frequent praying of the Rosary, I experienced the help of our Virgin Mother to bring peace to my wondering mind, so that I may listen to the gentle whisper of Her Son.

0.38 Day Thirty-Eight

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Separation from our baptismal marital union from the LORD is unholy, un-perfect, and represents death; because as Christ said, “apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). Thus, in my abandonment of my baptismal marital union with God, I lift up my hands and cry to my Creator, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1). Approaching the moment of separation of His marital blended union of life and death, of His human Flesh and the divine Spirit of God, of His human persona and the divine persona, Christ expressed this un-union crying out to God with the tearing Psalmist words, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” (Matthew 27:46). The strongest baptismal marital union between the human and the divine makes the most painful cry of anguish as the separation is felt – even for the briefest moment of separation. Psalm 22: 11-18 depicts the moment the marital union between our human and the divine is separated and foretold to Christ on the Cross,

Oh! Then how painful and agonizing it is to go through a long period of time during our earthly life separated from the grace of the baptismal marital union! Our eyes, ears, heart, light, treasure, gain, success, and life un-abided with Christ are blindness, deafness, hardness, darkness, trash, loss, failure, and death. Let's haste and make all the necessary amends, so that we can abide with the LORD in the baptismal marital union. I certainly at times failed to protect my most valuable treasure and failed to nourish on Divine True Food of Life. God at any moment may say to anyone, “You fool! This very night your soul is required of you” (Luke 12:20). I must die to self, and risk being crushed into fine dust. So that I may absorb your Drink of Eternal Life. Thus, Christ may mold me into One Flesh with He and His Holy Bride.

0.39 Day Thirty-Nine

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

The message of Christ is amazing as it is the ultimate sacrificial love which must be on the level of a marital union. To know and understand God's message, the follower must have love as St. John taught, “Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love” (1John 4:8). This love is not manifested by words, prayers, or anything humans had ever heard of. This love is a heavenly grace that unites a human to God. The union begins here on earth in preparation for the everlasting marital union with God and all those united to God. Therefore, we unite in a marital union with all those united to God in the baptismal marital union whether on earth or in heaven as branches on the one Vine Tree. We are on earth to store heavenly oil to nourish our baptismal union with Christ, to encourage our brothers and sisters to prepare as we do, and to care for the heavenly wedding garments we received in Baptism while awaiting the angels to call us to the everlasting Baptismal marital feast with Christ. Thus, today let's haste to meet the LORD in the Bread and Wine at the Mass Feast of Miracles and,

But if we wait too long, if we are busy chasing a mirage, the Father would anger and utter, “They shall never enter my rest” (Psalms 95:11). Let us become intimate with the LORD, so on the day our earthly life ceases, we can join Saint Dismas saying, “Jesus, remember me..into Your Kingdom” (Luke 23:42).

0.40 Day Fourty

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

LORD, impoverish me of myself, so that you enrich me of Yours.

I encourage those who consecrated their body to Christ to meditate on the Mysteries of the Body every Monday. Additionally, I encourage the wearing of a Chastity cincture cord like St. Francis or St. Joseph's guided by Christ's teachings in Luke 12:34-35, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit.” I use my chastity cincture cords to hang a wooden Cross I wear, and I found the practice to be a great reminder of my commitment to chastity.

Please, remember to dedicate a Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary, or prayer for your loved ones living or deceased to God the Almighty Father to remember them in His Kingdom.

Please, remember those that hurt, hated, deceived, envied, or betrayed you in the Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration hour, Rosary, confession or prayer asking God the Almighty what Christ requested, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I do not condemn anyone’s choices, as I am the first to be condemned. I am seeking to reflect on the Creator’s laws and to try to abide by them at all cost. That does not excuse me of wrongful choices, but exposes my sinfulness and my daily struggle to honor the Creator’s design. I continue to struggle and make mistakes, but I am at peace and resting in Christ’s mercy.

0.45 10th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Since we are created in the image of God and after the likeness of the Creator, we have within us the design of truth of God even though we are constantly tempted by Satan. Thus, everyone is obligated to seek that truth sincerely with unhardened heart and to unveil truth and abide by it. Persistently disobeying the truth, even partially, could permanently lead to various degrees of heresy, schism, or apostasy and could ultimately lead to permanent damnation and permanent separation from the Creator, which is death.

0.46 11th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

St. Paul encourages us not to become lazy in seeking the depth of knowing the LORD, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephesians 5: 14). Because, to know someone by their deep thoughts and to be known to him/or her wholly is to become friends as Christ calls us to be, “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” (John 15: 15). Anyone who seeks to become a loving friend and son of the LORD should become a serious active lifelong student in thoughts, will, and expression, “Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the LORD.” (Ephesians 5:17).

0.47 12th Monday

Reflection:

Those who reach a point of letting Christ take control of their life become hungry to have a deeper friendship with the LORD and to get to know the depths of His heart and thoughts. Then we understand and enjoy God's deeper thoughts as liberating and not constricting and as life-giving and not discouraging.

0.48 13th Monday

I have come to accept all events in my life that have led me to realize my weaknesses and to do something about them while my earthly life has not stopped.

0.49 14th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

Some years ago, I challenged myself not only to read the Holy Scripture, but to reflect on the depth of the Creator's truth. Reading the story of the Creation, the phrase “one flesh” or “one body” caught my attention and prompted me to reflect on it. I grew overwhelmed by the depth of the Creator's truth that can be expressed even by a short phrase as “one flesh.” Thereafter, I tried to simplify by reflecting on a single word of “one.”

0.50 15th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

This original family was not placed in the world initially, but was placed in the womb of the LORD that is symbolized by the Garden of Eden. In like manner to the creation of man, a husband entrusts his inherited one family’s genetic code in one sperm that is given to his spouse to join in her one egg “to cultivate it and keep it” (Genesis 2: 15) inside her womb just as the LORD placed His children in His Garden of Eden. Therefore, the attack on the Creator's Design of the one family would become Satan's main target for defeat by covert deception. Man and woman were kicked out of the Garden of Eden at an early time before their parent the Creator deemed them ready to be out of His womb. This expulsion from the Garden of Eden symbolizes a permanent death unless it is redeemed by the Creator in Christ. In like manner, an early violent removal of the fertilized growing new child out of the womb and care of the parents is an abortion that precisely resembles Eve's deception to make a choice that hastily led to expulsion from the Garden.

Reflection:

God designed one family for Himself when He created Man. The Creator's design is timeless as the LORD is timeless and does not design something to be redesigned at a later time. After the fall of man, sin entered the world and separated us from the LORD. However, those who abide by the Creator's design by the time of their earthly death, continue to remain part of the Creator's one family design and they are distinguishable from those who reject the Creator's design.

Reflection:

The Creator’s Design is not only forming One Family, but it is also forming the discipleship of Christ. Christ wanted the new One Family of God to mature in her relatedness to God to the level of becoming disciples of Christ and that is significant. If we strive to obey God's rules, pray, and attend Church regularly, we could be doing it contractually if we do not pay attention to the message Christ is calling us for.

0.57 22nd Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

I heard an answer of a wise sport champion who returned to competition at an old age after fifteen years of retirement. He was asked about how many hours he had been practicing. The wise sportsman answered that he considered eating, sleeping, and all activities outside the few hours at the gym as an integral part of a true champion’s exercise and readiness. He explained that if his sleeping suffered or his diet suffered, or if he were addicted to drinking or partying long night hours or if he followed a sedentary lifestyle, then his gym exercise would be negatively impacted. Thus, he chose to live the entire day thinking, eating, exercising, sleeping, or breathing as a champion. I found that champion not only maintained his same body physique and skills, but gained wisdom, although in vanity. Well, Christ is calling us to live, think, desire, love, and work as Christ in one flesh. Whether priests or laity, we can and should experience it all day and every day.

Christ already knows our heart, mind, and will and wants more for us which is to become one flesh to enjoy and inherit the greatness that Christ is.

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

When abiding by the contractual rules, one loses sight of the mind, heart, and will of the other party, but is merely concerned about the stipulations of the contract. Christ wants us to enjoy a relationship with Him and in Him and through Him. The rules are not to commit adultery or covet your neighbor's wife or daughter, but the Creator's deep thoughts are to treat others with the pure heart of God in God’s image and after the likeness of God without any sexual selfishness.

0.60 25th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Hear the Holy Mass of Miracles.
Reflection:

It is important not to kill a born or unborn human being unless it is strictly for self-defense when one’s own life is in danger. But becoming one in mind, heart, and will of Christ prompts us to have compassion for the weak, the young, the born, and the unborn and to avoid anger towards others.

0.61 26th Monday

Examine your conscious and seek absolution at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Reflection:

We will live in peace with the law and others when we avoid stealing anything that others have. But thinking, loving, and desiring in the mind, heart, and will of Christ prompts us to be generous with others, even with what we consider our belongings, and to avoid greed – for the blessing we have in Christ is beyond measure.

When receiving the Holy Eucharist, or praying to our Father, even for that ten minutes we, the laity, are eating and drinking the exact Flesh of Christ in His Mouth and uniting with Him in mind and heart and will. What we are doing is His own Desire; thus we become one part of the whole Body of Christ who is His Bride.

Reflection:

Conversation between the LORD and His prophets, priests, and people is expressed in hymns, conversation, or giving praise. When we read Sacred Scripture, we are praying; thus we should read intimately not casually, with pondering on the LORD's messages, thoughts, designs, wills, and feelings. When we converse with the LORD and His messengers, we are praying intimately. Therefore our conversation with the LORD ought to be reverent, sincere, intimate, and loving. In Scripture, prophets spoke back and forth with the LORD and some saw the LORD as a visible person. In that like manner we should converse with the LORD even when we do not hear in our ears or see in our eyes the LORD’s persona; yet we will feel it in our soul and ponder Him in our minds. Thus, reading the Holy Scripture, pondering on the Scripture, or talking, or singing hymns to the LORD are acts of praying that should be touching, intimate, and sincere.

When we talk about the LORD or Scripture with others, it should be a form of prayer as expressed by Christ, “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 18: 19). We listen to our friend’s pain, thoughts, hopes, and joy and that may prompt us to pray for their comfort, safety, healing, success, happiness, and strength. Therefore, our conversation with our friends in the fear and love of the LORD with members of the one bonded family should be elevated to prayers. We should pray when we arise out of bed and before eating or doing anything including dressing, sitting, standing, laying down, walking, running, playing or working.

Reflection:

It should be of no surprise that the LORD summarized the Commandments into love God and love your neighbor – and those are prayers of love. Sometimes in our prayers, we listen tentatively or help eagerly and generously. Our communication with the LORD or with our neighbor likewise are prayers if we elevate our communications and think of them in that sense. This type of living is a pure joy and the peace of the LORD that fills our hearts and the heart of our Heavenly Father. It comes with practice that is assured to awaken our souls and passion to love the LORD with all our heart, all our mind and all our will. Therefore, the Commandments of the LORD are no longer difficult and foreign to me, but will grow to become myself. Then, my life would follow and express the design of the LORD.

Reflection:

Worship and sacrifice is the Holiest event of the one bonded family in communion with the Saints and every brother and sister that unites us in worship. Thus, prayers and singing hymns without regularly and intimately participating in an authorized sacrifice with the one bonded family is unfortunately and obviously lacking the proper homage, glory and worship of the LORD. Worshiping and offering sacrifices to the LORD can never cease, but the sacrifices offered can be elevated to the perfect offering as the consecrated Bread and Wine that Christ made into His holy Body and Blood. Thus, we can never stop glorifying the LORD with prayers, hymns, and sacrificial offerings.

Reflection:

It is easier for us to understand that the symbols that we use for saints, the Holy Mother Mary, Christ, the Cross, and the Consecrated Eucharist to be treated as Holy, but we find it difficult to treat ourselves as a symbol of unity with Christ. Although we are living iconic Tabernacles of Christ, we get distracted and focus on the visual perception of the symbols and end up sinning. Therefore, it is great to surround ourselves with blessed symbols of our one Holy Family; we surround ourselves with holiness to help us imitate holiness and strive to seek the grace of Christ to, “Be Perfect.” (Matthew 5:48).

In Baptism, we have taken a completely new body although our body remains unchanged externally, “We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, ... we too might live in newness of life.” (Romans 6:4). This newness of life is a marital vow between the baptized and Christ that forms “one body.” Thus, just as our spouse Christ, we ought to “Be Perfect.” (Matthew 5:48).

We have to care for our new body not just like the non-baptized seek health and wellness, but as seekers of health and wellness who cater to our new marital body with Christ. To be healthy, we need to drink heavenly water and eat heavenly nutrition and heavenly food; we need to breathe heavenly spiritual air, train our body in heavenly exercises, and live in heavenly homes and the Garden of Eden while on earth. Therefore, our marital body should be used as the Creator designed.

Reflection:

We would rather suffer than accept the degradation of sin. That is why the Holy one family Catholic Church shows Christ Crucified – because He continues to suffer in our suffering and we suffer in His as one marital body. Furthermore, we likewise suffer in the suffering of other baptized brothers and sisters and also with everyone else whom we consider to have the potential to be baptized in the future. This one union with Christ forms a marital disciple with Him who calls us to have the courage to suffer instead of to sin, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24).

Reflection:

The best treatment for a disease is prevention in the first place. Prevention preserves our body's resources to function optimally in our activities of daily living and develop skills for championship type activities. This is also so true of sin. Rather than pride ourselves for overcoming the harsh sin, we should pride ourselves in preventing our fall into sin in the first place. St. Therese of the little flower explains Christ’s saying, “But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” (Luke 7:47). She explains that she loves more as she owed greater debts because Christ showed her that He spared her all the sins she could have committed. That should be our attitude – that prevention of sin is the greatest indebtedness that demands the greatest love. Thus, prevention and avoidance of sin should be the greatest indebtedness.

Reflection:

Sin makes us unfaithful to our real union with Christ. Sin makes us act on foreign thoughts, actions, and choices away from our LORD – actions that betray and jeopardize our union and that make us “groan and are weighed down, because we do not wish to be unclothed.” (2 Corinthians 5:4). Fortunately, Christ knows our struggle and desire not to be unclothed of Him but, “to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.” (2Corinthians 5:4). When we are undressed due to unreconciled sins, we will be reduced to silence due to holding onto our pride because we are unworthy to receive the LORD in His humility in the Consecrated Bread, “My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?’ But he was reduced to silence.” (Matthew 22:12). Therefore, we seek reconciliation not from a human being, but from our One Family who are, like us, Baptized as “a new creation” – one with Christ so that we are Christ on earth. This incredible gift from Christ allows the Baptized to redress with Christ and “we shall not be found naked” (2 Corinthians 5:3) here on earth.

Reflection:

All baptized are reborn into a “new creation” with a desire to dress and redress with Christ and with un-wanting to be found naked of Christ here and in heaven due to sin. Sin makes us naked and makes us hide from Christ and God as the human parents Adam and Eve did after they sinned, “I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid.” (Genesis 3:10). But the children of the LORD do not want to spend their entire lives on earth naked and in hiding and thus require our Father God to dress our nakedness in forgiving our sins. Christ forgave sins and delegated the power to His chosen eye witnesses who have reconciled the one family children.

Everyone within the one family is born a “new creation.” Christ and union with Christ is all one Christ – a branch in the same grapevine and whether you eat grapes from one branch or another, it is all grapes of the same one grapevine. Thus there is no blaspheme but helping one another so that, “we might become the righteousness of God in him.” (2Corinthians 5:21). And to become the “Righteousness of God” is to become Christ in Christ and by Christ beginning here on earth.

We become Christ, the “Righteousness of God,” totally in our thoughts, responses, choices, and wills which all requires truthful knowledge of God.

Reflection:

The baptized become the branches in the one grapevine and the branch is a grapevine breathing, drinking, and feeding of the same air, drink, and food of the grapevine itself. But, the key is to remain abided branch into the one Grapevine Family; otherwise, it is a dry wooden stick unable to bear fine fruits. Thus, to turn from a wooden stick into a branch in the grapevine, the stick must die and rise as a new body part of and in union with the same nature of the grapevine itself – meaning to become Christ in union with Christ. Yes, a baptized person can be undressed and be made naked by sin, although that is not quite similar to the nakedness of the unbaptized for there is only “one Baptism” (Ephesians 4:5). To be able to do the work of Christ one must be grafted back into the one family grapevine by reconciliation, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Yes, we become Christ in Baptism and function in as much as we are graced and authorized to function as Christ. We are Christ in Christ, because He loved us sacrificially and humbled Himself to become consecrated Bread and Wine and to become not just the Christ human persona conceived in Bethlehem, but in every baptized and properly dressed human being as the ultimate form of humility and sacrificial love as stated, “Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance.” (Philippians 2:7)

Reflection:

The secular world encourages us to know ourselves. But to the baptized, I find the goal is to know Christ and that leads us to know ourselves. The Christ in the baptized is not a limited Christ, but actually a magnificently humble Christ as much as we allow Him to be and function as the baptizer states, “He must increase; I must decrease.” (John 3:30). The humble baptized who live a saintly life imitating Christ’s thoughts and actions, expands Christ in him/or her to a much more pleasing union. Ultimately, it is love that allows the substance to become Christ, the very Aroma of Christ to God, and that love is a sacrificial humble spousal love forming “one flesh.”

we the children are disciples and must mirror the family we were born again and made “a new Creation” meaning “Be Perfect” (Matthew 5: 48). There is no other way around it. Our Father is Holy, our Mother Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit and made Holy and Holiness makes Holy and Perfect disciple children and “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14) comes from Light. Even before Christ, while the children were born into the original sin, all were commanded to “Be Holy” (Leviticus 20:26).

Alas, it took me awhile to figure out the Creator’s Design. But luckily for all of us, we have heavenly help in the Sacrament of reconciliation, frequent weekly Mass celebration, nourishment on heavenly Food and Drink, and the assistance of the Holy Spirit speaking and guiding us in one faith tongue. So let’s take full advantage of all the treasure our parents are entrusted to gift us. We are not just a new body with Christ, but a new member of a special One Family!
