A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

 Fools Following Fools Always Head Towards Ruin  “Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; andAttempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”-Cicero​

 Look, Reach and Grab Hold Of His Lifeline and He Will Pull You Ashore  Ever feel like you see the light at the end of the tunnel but just can’t seem to get there?  You know you’re close but don’t have enough to take you over to the other side and you keep slipping back.  If someone on the other side could just throw you a life line and pull you through! Christ is that life line and he is always there for you, though you can’t always see Him with your own jaded view! Let go of what you keep holding onto and reach out to grab on to the love of Christ and you’ll discover you are in touch with the divine and He can pull you through and carry you on to something so much better than you ever hoped for! Christ can your beacon of Light, your compass, your true north to guide your way! He is the fuel to keep you going When your tank runs dry and you feel like your running on empty.He is your safety valve and your release when your ready to explode.. and is your life line, when your drowning, gasping for air and can’t stay afloat! All you need to do is reach out a grab hold, then make sure you don’t let go!

2 billion Christians currently walk the Earth! With 7.3 billion in total population, that means close to 30% of the world’s population is Christian!   Can you imagine if that Christian population just acted like Christians?   We could transform the planet in just one week!John Lennon’s song message “Imagine” could actually be realized, and even more so, the message of Christ could be reality. We could literally have heaven on earth! “On earth as it is in heaven” the Lord’s Prayer that he taught us could become reality! So how should we act as Christians?Listen, empathize, and then creatively solve through prayer, love and good works the difficulties that life affords us!  It’s called HEALING! And we all know the World needs HEALING!!

 Breathe! We either live in the World with a small glitter of the spirit of life and truth within us or we let the spirit of life move and direct us through this World! Better yet, do you breathe life as it comes to you or do you let life breathe you? In one case, you let the things around you impact your outcome.  In the other, you let your life impact those lives and the world around you!Stay rooted to who you are.  Remember…You are the light of the World!​

What Is Truth?  It’s a loaded question. It is the famous question of Pilate at the interrogation of Christ! John 18:38. Most of us manufacture “our own” truth. And treat it like a tool to make us comfortable and “fit it” to our personal bias, political ideas, religious beliefs, or lifestyle!  We try to bend it, stretch it, massage it to make it convenient. We keep feeding ourselves enough self-talk and outside reinforcement in an effort to bolster  “our own consummated version of truth” to the point of belief and conviction and “shut out” anything or anyone that dares to challenge our version of belief! But to get the correct answer to any complex problem, we need to get to the core, to the heart of the matter and get the bias out of the equation. It mandates an open ear, compassionate listening, and empathy of others views and an honest assessment of how our version impacts others. It requires courage, honesty, humility, and love! If we can work up these tenets and accept truth for what it really is and live with the consequences, the world would be a better place. “The Truth Will Set You Free.” John 8:32. Have the courage to cut to the core of truth. When vulnerability is your greatest weapon.  And truth reigns supreme! What will you do to find the truth and will you share it with others who also seek it?​
