Tradition and religion - 28.02.2011
Message education for prayer groups
"My beloved brothers and sisters,
It is certain that throughout history, men and women preferred to focus on human tradition, much more that the Word and Commandments of God.
The tradition of men is manifested by gestures and rituals of culture that are often linked with religion. For example, what are the religious holidays lose their meaning turning into pagan holiday, so you have the holiday known as Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Pentecost. It is a shame that people can ignore the origin of the names given to the holiday. Yes, it's so sad that men divide up the rules of the rite without leaving their heart open and let in by God.
Yet the Word of God through the rituals and cultural ceremonies because His word is eternal. His speech is intended to go directly to the heart of all men and they knew better paid, they would be more inclined to love God and therefore all men.
If the gestures and rituals may seem necessary and even indispensable to civilization, yet they lack the ability to save, or purify, let alone release. It is certain that all cultures and religions perform rites of purification. In some, they are bathing, washing of hands are needed for the body and can make people believe that once they purify even washed the body is apparently clean externally.
Generally, water washing but not purified by cons, once blessed is the Word of God who moves the action of water, so holy. And so it flows over you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In a word, the holy water must remember your baptism by which you are immersed in the death and resurrection of Christ.
Jesus proclaims that "Nothing that is external to the man who enters it can not defile. "You have to live in peace, for the impure is not with the world, customs and traditions, rites observed or not, but if you join, the impure can enter your heart. Thus, it is your responsibility to clean it with an examination of consciousness followed by a good confession may still remain because of misconduct evil thoughts, adultery, greed, and yet so many bad things.
Yes, it's in your heart that the Word of God cleanses and purifies. "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow" Psalm 50 says that you should meditate. It is God who purifies and makes holy.
Think that in addition to prayer and the Holy Eucharist, you have the sacramentals such as holy water, incense and candles that are sacred rites instituted by the Church to obtain an effect of spiritual order.
That tradition of God, His Word of life that is given, which is transmitted to the life of God saves the world. Be certain that God loves men, all men and they have to convey His love.
Tradition of the Church transmission of the Word of God is the mission of each of you also have no fear to speak.
With your family from Heaven, in the Light of the Eternal Father, all love the Lord Jesus, His mother and brothers who are with me from heaven, we bless you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy mind.
John, your messenger of Heaven "
