Knowledge And Discernment

Hi! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first this Sunday:

THE GOOD NEWS (04 December 2016)

"And when I pray for you, I pray with joy.  I cannot forget all you shared with me in the service of  the Gospel, from the first day until now.  Since GOD began such a good work in you, I am certain that HE will complete it in the day of CHRIST JESUS.

This is my hope for you, for I carry you all in my heart: whether I am in prison or defending and confirming the Gospel, you are with me and share the same graces.

GOD knows that I love you dearly with the love of CHRIST JESUS, and in my prayers I ask that your love may lead you each day to a deeper knowledge and clearer discernment, that you may have good criteria for everything.  So you may be pure of heart and come blameless to the day of CHRIST, filled with the fruit of holiness that comes through CHRIST JESUS, for the glory and praise of GOD. - Philippians 1:4-11 

"Revision Of Life"

(GOD began such a good work in you, I am certain that HE will complete it in the day of CHRIST JESUS.  The end for which they long is always the manifestation [2 Thessalonians 1:7], or the visit, or the Day of the LORD JESUS [1Corinthia)ns 1:8].  No work is done without the expectation of the day when there will be all that one dreamed about.  There is no Christian life where someone is content with looking forward to his retirement or feels fulfilled because he has a country house or because the family is growing up without a problem.  Let us stop saying these first Christians still had the "illusion" of an early return of CHRIST.  They wanted to meet HIM personally and be transfigured by HIM.  That is an illusion only for those who enclose themselves in oases of peace within a world in crisis.

Knowledge and discernment... A good heart and generosity are not everything in Christian life.  We are not saved, we do not reach our true stature, we are not remade as GOD would like us to be, unless clarity has guided generosity.  It is the same for world salvation.  GOD calls us to discover new ways.  We need to reflect, to be attentive, what we could call "revision of life," in order to discover what is positive and negative in our daily life, work relationships, social duties, leisure.  This reflection, however, is not sufficient: among GOD's gifts, there is spiritual knowledge that gives us a fresh vision of the order of values and of the will of GOD.)
