SAINT JOHN OF THE CROSS

“I am Saint John of The Cross.

I am about to ask you a question:  As you prepare yourself for the day, do you always put on your person a small Crucifix, maybe in a pocket, maybe around your neck, maybe even on a piece of jewelry?  Or do you ignore this little act of remembering the Importance of this small Crucifix with the Body of The Son of God evidenced on It?

Some might say, in reading This, ‘That is a thing of the past; that is a thing just for those who follow a formal path of service to God.’ This concept of thinking should be changed, because a small Crucifix is a reminder of the Importance of human life, the Purpose for which it was created, and that the Figure on this Crucifix Suffered and Died for the sins of mankind.

It is sad when We see this Act of Love totally ignored, because mankind has so few things to keep him or her conscious of What The Son of God did for Love of mankind.  At the motion of a Hand all could have stopped.  A slight breeze intended to stop It, by Divine Power, could have stopped the Crucifixion that in so many ways gave to Christianity strength, hope, assurance, confidence, understanding that The Father’s Love for mankind was Openly Pronounced at a time of Suffering to a Degree unbearable for others to see.

Mankind innately enjoys hearing stories that are happy, bright, but all stories cannot be this way, especially at the time when Christianity had to be Announced in such a dramatic way.  Also, without This Sacrifice, The Son of God would have continued to be seen in a lesser way than He Really Was.

We hear so many men, women and children say they are Christians, but We would like to ask them, in their pride in being a Christian:  Do they follow the Commandments of God?  Are all their actions with others sincere, helpful, caring and honest?  Are they good example in their moral values, moral standards, or do they allow promiscuity, permissiveness be seen as a natural practice, attitude?

At this time in the world there is much hypocrisy, and in many ways little earnestness in how individuals live each day, are example to each other.  Mankind calls it ‘modernization’.  In reality, it’s only time passing on, and The Father allowing mankind to progress in many ways that are exceptional, because they allow the mentality of men and women to seek achievements in scientific projects.

We say to mankind, ‘The first Goal to achieve should be Sainthood.’ This should be a priority in every human being’s life.  We are not downing the other types of progress that mankind is not just enjoying, but it is being allowed by God.

Logic should say to mankind, ‘As I grow mentally in so many ways, I must grow spiritually to give balance to my life so that my life will not have been in vain.’ So be it.”
