come holy spirit bless this and worthy priests that i may share from the heart with humility and with love not just with the lips and the people who listen listen with their heart not just with their ears come holy spirit come holy spirit station brothers at this point in time i'm sure all of us are getting excited about christmas there's hope that kovite 19 will soon disappear yeah this is the feeling we have hope and some of us are even singing i'll see you in december when covid is gone [Music] on the other hand there is fear what if another variant will come along omicron what if this december will be parang last year so we have two choices fear and hope hope continue to whisper hope fear dummy time fear i remember a story about a a baby snake what is snake you know for a long time i thought the biber was in their application by corbin viper no snake so a baby snake was so nervous went to the mama and said mama mama i'm so afraid i bit my tongue are we poisonous see how many fears we have in the beginning when the pandemic was starting oh my god so many fears we had we were afraid the air we were afraid of the ground we were afraid because we didn't know a lot of things oh my goodness i i always i would many times not go out anymore maybe breathing the banus in some fears on the other hand sisters and brothers the lord tells us today stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand that is what we choose hope and it's the lord who gives us courage and dalipo it's so easy to be fearful but one thing i have learned all these years simply this you face the light and the shadow is behind you you face that which you don't want to face you face your fears and the shadow is behind you if you don't face your fears the shadow will always be at your back in front of you so face your fears face the light and the shadow is behind you and i remember also a beautiful beautiful passage keep this in mind whatever it is you are fighting whatever it is that's you're scared of the lord tells us in exodus chapter 14 verse 14 i will fight for you i'm on your side keep that in mind please we have a god who fights for us israel the god who fights for you for me and you know please remember this having any lord in the gospel today many people will die of fright in anticipation anticipation young what's an example of anticipation when you were little children injection you're anticipating the pain so this happens you get so uptight when they put the needle indeed so many times this is a problem let's ask the lord lord help me not to anticipate everything some people who know already what will happen i guess what the lord is telling us again is just hope and trust in me i remember when we were little children fiesta mcfiesta it's a plaza program program that was fine we were all going there the lights were there but coming home was the problem because you have to go back to the home and there are no nights well i'm electricity we just had the generators a few yards from our home was the big tamarind tree though and every child in that town swore that there is a ghost in that tamarind tree so you are my brother once we reached that point that was the point of no retirement we can see already our house [Music] but from that point to there is a long distance so what do we do that's gonna left or right just keep running and looking to the light and malayupa will be shouting already mama papa we're here mama open open and open that's that's how we face our fears how were we able to face our fears we took courage we saw the light we knew somebody was waiting there somebody could hear us and so we had to move that's what they say when you become crippled by fear in your crippled indica you have to have somebody bigger than you to tell you okay man when i was uh growing up a seminarian i had stage fright i i didn't like to talk i look at my classmates they were all good in oration and a oh my gosh some people i was with trembling when i'm called in front but you know what did i do i said i have to overcome my shyness i read books how to overcome shyness and dummy because and the motivation was this too much so what will happen the lord be with you you know so i said i had to try i had to keep trying i overcame my fear something like that but it can be done if you believe in something someone greater than you and if you believe in yourself stills and brothers hope pagasa the first scandal we hope oh god mata snyder please don't give up hope please whisper hope to people and don't give all kinds of scenarios

not just a day it's every day if your life is filled with thanks and filled with giving then you're living a life of thanks giving every day take this chance to thank all of you who pray for us and support us and please take time to remember people pray for them and be grateful to them don't forget gratitude is still the best attitude may i just share with you my simple rituals every morning it's just filled with thanksgiving i start wake up i sit in my bed try this please and i raise my hands just like that to praise god fathers and spirit and you know what i end up like this embracing god i embrace you father i embrace you lord i embrace you holy spirit i embrace you mama mary i embrace your papa mama loved ones in heaven and i allowed them to embrace me you're embracing me now lord mama thank you for embracing me this morning what a beautiful feeling to be embraced that's beautiful please allow yourself as soon as you wake up embrace god that god embrace you number two i kneel down because i know i kneel down in humility gratitude i owe nothing god i owe everything to you you owe me nothing god my so-called achievements talents they are nothing they all come from you you start the day that way you're already filled with peace and thanksgiving and lord please be with me today i need you so much third we all look at the mirror every morning right oh smile at yourself at the mirror because if you don't smile itself nobody really smiles at you you have to help start making yourself happy you enjoy yourself why unless you do that the whole day you'll be grouchy voila you cannot be really sharing joy if you don't start with simple choice simple suggestions as we start this advent season and you know more and more what is helping me every day is this what is the secret of mama mary baki pusha very happy in spite of all problems mama mary had many problems but siri said my soul magnifies the lord my spirit rejoices in god my savior aha what made mama mary is she magnified the lord magnify magnifying glass he made she made the lord bigger than her problems problematic we magnify our problems and you don't even think of the lord mali god is bigger than your problem we many of us we magnify our sins our failures sure we are all sinners but don't forget god's love is greater than jose and some become too serious about that they get discouraged they magnify their blessings material blessings their talents their popularity etc don't you forget that because once you forget that you'd end up proud vain and empty magnify the lord and that's why whenever i go to a situation my situation is mama mary whispers to me magnifying the lord in other words i'm not going to be focusing all these things i know god is here in this situation now i'm not going to enforce my own because i know there is a god i don't have to fight anyone if i don't have to because hey what for god is so let god be bigger you limp in suggestion then when you do that you realize happened is real adventist and ex joyful time but also a time to meet the lord halfway sisters and brothers please don't forget also padre pio pray hope don't worry this is hot patrick always tells us pray hope don't worry it might interest you to know padre pio was silenced 44 years because he already stepped stigmata and dominant he was becoming so popular the church authorities then told padre pio you cannot preach you're not allowed to publish anything they allowed him to say mass and to hear confessions look at that i i cannot imagine he had so much to say but he obeyed so all he did was sit in the confessional for 17 18 hours wow that's an amazing 44 years and he was not allowed to publish but after his death you see so again whatever you're going through my body just keep hoping god has a plan and god has his own perfect timing sisters and brothers let me end also to honor my mama i don't know if you have a picture of your mother or anything but i have a picture of my mama when she was a little girl teenager every time i see that picture i smile how did this little girl even no imagine what her life would be but she was just smiling i don't know i always i cannot explain it so much love and i always remember what mama always told me told us pray be good and just endure and go to heaven and the fourth she always said mama and papa said go to heaven maybe this is what advent is all about let us reset again our gps battalion or heaven bound we're going to happen amen lord amen and now let us profess our faith you
