“The powerful did wonders for me<\/em>.” <\/span>Often, Mary sang this truth. Can you<\/span>\u00a0imagine with what gratitude she sang that? <\/span>That God, who is holy and Almighty, has done wonders for me! <\/span>All I’m worth, it is because the Lord did \u00a0wonders\u00a0for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Carmelite Order spread all over the world, a wonderful way, a strict rule of deep prayer, in which the Carmelites could not have contact with the world;<\/span>There is a grid the separating us. <\/span>Why? <\/span>For these women can be taken fully to God. <\/span>They intercede for the world. <\/span>Prayers do not stop, but spread throughout humanity. <\/span>The Lord dwells in Mount Carmel and in each carmelite; <\/span>and the sisters know that, so they have a great respect for the order to which they obey. <\/span>They know that God dwells in Carmel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today is the day of our Lady of Mount Carmel, and the liturgy acknowledges that God dwelt in Mary.<\/span>There in Nazareth, in a cave that exists, lived Mary.<\/span>There came the Angel and had that conversation with her: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me his word<\/em>“. <\/span>The word became flesh and dwelt within. <\/span>That child was only one cell inhabited by the Holy Spirit; <\/span>It was Mary that generated, it was with her blood, with her flesh, so the liturgy chose this passage.<\/span><\/p>\n

After nine months, was born the Savior, and the rest we know. <\/span>It is a great grace for us! <\/span>We have the Gospel, and according to him, Jesus was talking with people and his mother was outside, because there was no chance they can come close to Jesus. <\/span>Then, they said, “look, your mother and your brothers are out there and want to talk to you<\/em>“. <\/span>Jesus answered: “<\/span>Who is my mother?<\/span>Who are my brothers? “.<\/span><\/em>At first glance, it seems that he was neglecting His Mother. <\/span>Our brothers think so too and they say that Mary wasn’t anything, because Jesus said so. <\/span>But, in the continuation of the text, He says: “Behold my mother and my brothers, for whoever does the will of my father which is in heaven, this is my brother, my sister and my mother”<\/em>. <\/span>So, Mary was more than Mom, because no one did the Father’s will as she did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every Jew wanted to be mother, or the mother of the Messiah. <\/span>If she not could be a mother, grandmother, that the Messiah were in their lineage. <\/span>Every woman wanted this, and Mary, at that time, should jump for joy saying: “I am the one!”. <\/span>But no! <\/span>What she said was: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me according to his will”. <\/span>Are you there, my brothers, the beauty! <\/span>She is an example for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first thing in our life, is doing the will of God. <\/span>Say it with me: “<\/span>the first thing in my life is doing, in all, the will of God, doing his will. <\/span>This is the most important thing. “<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Do the will of God<\/h3>\n

The first thing that needs to be done, to be in the will of God is to live in a State of grace. <\/span>The PHN seeks\u00a0just that. <\/span>Why do PHN? <\/span>“For today I\u00a0will\u00a0not sin”. <\/span>Not to Sin today, tomorrow or later, we must be constantly in a State of grace. <\/span>It has been said that: If you’re not in a State of grace, go to\u00a0the confession.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don Bosco was on the top floor of his congregation and heard their children downstairs and said: “my children, no one gets out of this retreat in sin. <\/span>If you have any sin in your life, confess. “<\/span>Don Bosco did this to the priests of his congregation because they wanted his priests to live the PHN and were always in a State of grace.<\/span><\/p>\n

PHN is towards holiness<\/h3>\n

This is the will of God, our sanctification. <\/span>Boyfriends and girlfriends must sanctify each other. <\/span>When either the State of grace, sanctify each other. <\/span>You groom, bride, husband and wife consecrate themselves, and this is the will of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

You avoid the impurity, they each learn to possess his body and honestly, without getting carried away by the licentious passions like the heathen who do not know God. <\/span>What a beauty! <\/span>We will live this truth, my dear young people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fetch a priest and wash your soul in confession. <\/span>A sanctification with out of a life of sexual debauchery. <\/span>Don’t take “time”, saying that they are doing a “little thing” that you love each other.<\/span>Actually, that’s not love.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could do a whole lecture about what love is and what is not love, to prove that sex is not love.<\/span>Although many boyfriends say, “honey, let’s make love?”, that’s not love, but indiscipline, is leaving the rails of grace and entering the track of doom. <\/span>You go off the rails of the heavens and go onto the tracks from hell, so I speak with all the strength that I can talk to my 80 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Young people testify to chastity<\/h3>\n

These days, I passed by the television was on and talking about sex before marriage, because of the soap opera scene in which explicit sex appeared. <\/span>The part I saw, were two young people who testify to\u00a0chastity. <\/span>They were so persuasive, that the public would look at them with admiration beautiful and not with strangeness. <\/span>There was, next to them, a person who heard this \u00a0beautiful testimony and said he was Evangelical in childhood, but in Church, not taught\u00a0about sex, and he learned nothing about chastity. <\/span>He praised those youths who were witnessing to the beauty of chastity.<\/span><\/p>\n

“My sons and daugthers, all you need to be healed young people , because the lack of chastity does damage in a person’s life, takes her from the path of Holiness and puts her\u00a0on the road to perdition.” <\/span>Monsignor Jonas Abib.<\/span>Photo: Yamin\/cancaonova.com<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was a time when I got carried away and the heart of father jumped strong because a guest of the programme said: “the father Edmilson Lopez\u00a0teaches us”. <\/span>The two young men were of the group Jovens Sarados [Healed Youth], so living in chastity. <\/span>My heart fluttered, because of that. <\/span>But television always puts both sides of the coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon after, he moved to the lady that had the mom next door, and the mother said: “I am against this, I do not accept that young people have sexual intercourse only in marriage, because it might not work.<\/span>She was speaking about this lie, and the mother delivered over her daughter when she spoke a few words, because it was so obvious that she didn’t live the chastity, but had sex while dating.<\/span><\/p>\n

I stayed with the program through the break, because the doctrine of her mother put on the wrong track. <\/span>The mother was putting the child in the arms of her boyfriend and saying: “My daughter can experience sex, because it might not work out”.<\/span><\/p>\n

My kids, all you need to beJovens Sarados (Healed Youth], because the lack of chastity does damage in a person’s life, takes her from the path of Holiness and the plays on the road to perdition.<\/p>\n

I wrote the book ‘ PHN ‘ Generation the importance of this meaning: I will not sin today. <\/span>As hard as it is, I cling to the walls, but not for today.<\/span><\/p>\n

A girl would testify that, every time\u00a0the car stopped\u00a0in front of her house, they used to make out for she was on fire. But then [after learing PHN]\u00a0<\/span>Every time she and her boyfriend stopped the car in front of the House, she opened the car door to live the PHN. <\/span>Nature is nature, our hormones work; <\/span>so, every time she realized that the fire began, she opened the car door to be faithful to the PHN.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chastity is not everything in a person’s life, but is necessary for a life in holiness. <\/span>If your boyfriend didn’t live the chastity in dating, he is not going to live it in marriage, because the man is more dashing. <\/span>Don’t fall into the trap of her boyfriend! <\/span>If he asks you to prove your love, say no! <\/span>It is father Jonas telling you to get out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dearly beloved, we are rushing the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. <\/span>Our sanctity of life will hasten the coming of the Lord. <\/span>So, fight for Holiness and purity. <\/span>Live the PHN as motto of life.<\/span><\/p>\n
