Deus sempiternus Dominus (Is 40:28)


During your prayers and meditations you meet with the Holy One. You experience his presence and the divine peace enters your soul. Similarly while you contemplate the wonders of nature, you discover the God's hand which is hidden in the universe. For God the Father keeps all the creatures in His power and leads them properly. Thanks to God's might and strength they prosper and live. 
However, some people do not trust in the Lord. They think that he is not present in their lives. They try to decide about everything on their own. Even if they have heard about the Creator, they do not pay attention to his laws and statutes. For that reason they easily faint and despair. Especially when the difficulties appear and something goes wrong. 
On the contrary, those who believe in God and hope in the Lord renew their strength every day. They fly like eagles and attain the divine wisdom. They are strong because they fulfill God's will. Accordingly, they bless the Lord who is merciful and gracious for all.

In habitu sanctae (Ti 2:3)


Apostle Paul explains that the holiness consists of many virtues. First of all the person who wants to be holy obeys the teaching of the Church and keeps God's commandments. For his strength comes from the faith in God and the love towards the people. A holy one is able to endure the difficulties and to behave rightly in all circumstances. It does not make the difference if the holy person is young or old because the holiness is for everyone in every condition and situation. The follower of Christ is also a good example for his brothers and sisters. In the relations with others a Christian who follows the way of perfection is temperate and self-controlled. As the child of God he brings all his neighbours to the close relationship with the Lord. A real Christian is always unselfish and takes care of his friends. His intentions are pure and derive from the reflections on the Holy Scripture. The holy one knows his Christian dignity and shows himself as a model of good deeds in every respect. Overall, his power has the foundation in the God's grace and in the saviour Jesus Christ.

Propter Christum (Phil 3:7)


Christian is a person who worships through Spirit of God. Christian is the one who boats in Christ Jesus and puts his confidence in God. Christian is the faithful who remembers his own history but he also knows his Redemptor. The follower of Christ is aware of his dignity but at the same time remains humble.
The power of Christian comes from the fact that he was born as a child of God. Further, he was baptized and received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Through the sacrament of reconciliation he has become holy and blameless as the Son of God. Therefore, he is not ashamed of his sins but is grateful for the grace of salvation. Obviously, he does not want to come back to his sinful life. He'd rather lose everything for the sake of friendship with Jesus. Since Christian keeps in mind that the supreme good is to accept Christ Jesus as the Lord. Consequently, Christian is full of peace, joy and love.
