Today I am 68 years on this Earth, I am a Professed Member in the 3rd Order of St. Francis of Assisi, and an Oplate in the St. Benedict Order to Study Lectio Devina as well Christian meditation, but every so often I pray a prayer from an Old Friend of mine and I want to Share this Prayer with you all:

O Lord God

I have no idea where I am going,

I do not see the road ahead of me,

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

Nor do I really know myself

And the fact that I think

I am following your will

Does dot mean that I am actually doing so

But I believe

That the desire to please You

Does in fact please You.

And I hope I have that desire

In all that I am doing.

[Q5. Christ and His Churches]

Q: 5

John, tells us:

Jesus is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the rule over the kings of the earth" (REV.1 : 5 )

Well; it teaches us; that the incredible future he has planned for us, for His faithful followers, that we (believer) can reign with Jesus Christ forever until his return.

[Q4. The Exalted Christ]

Q:4

God the Father gave the prophecies to his Son Jesus Christ,so in the Book of REV. Jesus then broke the seals and opened the scroll.

The key to understand this book is, Jesus alone can unlock the meaning of it's symbols, visions and stories, he reveals the future to us( 2 Peter 3:3-7)

So if we know the future we should be ready!!.

[Q3. Comfort]

Persecution: the same all over the world, why: In fact I really believe, that the Devil has been far more successful in destroying the quality of Christian Life,through our non believe,hence we are all in one Boat of persecution,

So let us Pray to Jesus to help us.

God is the first and the last the Alpha and the Omega.

[Q1. Faithful Witnesses]

Q 1

Here the Book of REV. portrays the realities on which Fait relies in any period of time in History, Here " God " through Jesus Christ,who loves us and freed us from our Sins promise to be with his people until the end of time. The only reason why we are afraid to be a clear witness,in our culture, because we don't read the Bible

or we don't understand Jesus Teaching..
