THE WAY OF THE CROSS INTRODUCTION O Lord Jesus we wish to follow the way which you went through to bring  about our salvation, through it  strengthen our souls so that we  may remain faithful to you.      ✝️ ✝️ ✝️  FIRST STATION JESUS IS CONDEMNATION TO DEATH We adore...

Pilate condemned our Lord to death for crime he did not commit  Prayer : Father through the merits of this station grant us the grace of self-denial and unconditional love for you and our neighbors. Our father... ✝️ ✝️ ✝️           SECOND STATION JESUS CARRIED THE CROSS We adore you... Because by your... Our Lord accepted the cross for the salvation of our souls.

The way forward is always difficult. The way to success is not easy.  The means to greatness is tough.  The way to perfection is hard.  Wealthiness is not found in lazy man's story.  Goodness is not part of careless man's attitude.  Effort is found in committed man's dictionary/dairy.  Holiness is found in peaceful man's life. Goals are not achieved by being idle. Destination is not reached by standing at a place. Dreams are not realized by mere dreaming. Friendship is not workable without tolerance and acceptance. There was a man whose effort was found in his dairy,  his peacefulness achieved perfection and his toughness acquired greatness. He is called today a Saint, a perfect man, a renounced man, a holy man.  "He is John of Egypt. He was born in Egypt.  Until he was 25, he worked as a carpenter with his father.Then feeling called by God, he left the world and committed himself in a holy solitary life in the desert. His master tried his spirit with unreasonable

What is it that gives you joy; that gives unimaginable push, and energy when you embark on it? What is it that you never get worried, irritated, discomforted doing, even when you are tired you hang on? What is it that it's achievement is all you care about? That, which you are desirous about; which you can give your life for, is your passion. In this you discover your uniqueness at a superlative level.  Your passion,  your uniqueness tells the world who you are  and what you can offer humanity .  It is your identity; PIN (personal identification number) code! There your strength is made manifest. In your passion is your personality made visible, and appreciated by the world around you. Again, what is your passion? What does it drive you to do? Discovering this, gives your life a direction/focus.  Mine is to open people's mind towards their potentials, their strength and the ‘gold’ or the ultimate stuff of which they were made. One’s passion sets him/her apart (hence, the unique

  👊The gold that is hidden in you; that is, your person, can only be disclosed by you.  Your good works are made possible by your personality (trimmed) by a lively conscience and the contributions you make to humanity. These  make the gold in you , visible, meaningful and appreciated. Gold Your gold is that treasure your Maker has beautified you with!  The you in you, those values you posses, that set you apart from everyone else, your uniqueness. This treasure/uniqueness is the only means of fulfilling your mission/destiny which must be accomplished before you expire; that's, before you cease to exist on the face of this planet earth.  Be careful not to disappoint those you have the duty/obligation to lift up, or to support to maintain the rhythm of their own life.  In your gold is a constitution of your uniqueness and your glory. Be prayerful! Be duty conscious! Be Unique! https://corbanworld.com AdaihuomeFacebook. Twitter: @ceciliaihuoma

 "Be Perfect As Your Heavenly Father Is Perfect" says the Lord. (Matthew 5:48) Upon what does perfection consists? Love.  Upon what does love consists? Acceptance. Upon what does acceptance consists? Humility. Upon what does humility consists? Simplicity. Upon what does simplicity consists? Kindness. What is kindness? Charity. What is charity? Love. What is love? God is love. And those who are in God are in love and have heed the call to perfection."  Fr Martin Cross It is only when you are in love that your uniqueness will shine forth and your glory will know no bound.  Love and you will be glorious.

REFLECTION: MONDAY Of THE FIFTH WEEK OF LENT. YEAR B READINGS: Daniel 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62;  Psalm 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6; John 8:1-11 BY: Bro.  Sylvester Magnus-Junior Nwankwo, SDV Some time ago, during my Philosophy days, while moving through the shelves at the St. Jerome corner of Seat of Wisdom Library, Owerri, a book won my interest and ceased my movement. The book portrays a clear true image of a very beautiful girl, whose appearance won my love at first sight. Her name is Teri Schiavo, and the book was published in her honour, with the title: A Life That Matters. Teri as a matter of fact, suffered humiliation that reduced her humanity to “nothingness” and eventually died of euthanasia. The last moments of her life seem to be equal to the lower animals, due to the wickedness of men, precisely the inhumane physicians, legal practitioners and her heartless husband. In fact, Teri suffered to a fault.  Her death is a punch to reality, a painful exit, a century lost. Her death ech

 Joy was disturbed by her weaknesses which she battled with. She has been trying all she could to deceased from that but find it difficult and she turned to the Lord and prayed. "Lord, who throughout these forty days For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with thee to mourn our sins, And close by thee to stay. As thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the victory win, O give us strength in thee to fight, In thee to conquer sin."  In your difficulties turn to your source, your maker and you will receive the help you need. God is able, trust him.

 By Amitava-D  And I add Your values are hidden also in you, just remove fear. Your qualities are also hidden in you, just remove low self-esteem. Your preciousness is hidden in you, just remove timidity. Your uniqueness is hidden in you, just remove disinterestedness. Your success is hidden in you, just embrace commitment. Your glory is hidden in you, just embrace hardworking. Your peace is hidden in you, just trust in yourself. Your happiness is hidden in you, just accept who you are.  Your healing is hidden in you, just hold on to your faith. Your sweetness is hidden in you, just encourage yourself. Your future is hidden in you, just be focused. Your freedom is hidden in you, just be honest. You are the protagonist of what happens to your life, just involve God-who has written them for you- all will work for your good, your beauty will be seen by all, both those in your generation and beyond. There are beautifull things hidden in you and it is your responsibility to make them shine

  Success and commitment are two sides of a coin. They go hand in glove, meaning that  there is a strong connection between two of them. The synonyms of commitment includes: dedication, engagement, duty, responsibility, devoir,  charge, consignment and many more. Dedication is more close to commitment. It is the giving in of one's time, talent, strength, and opportunities for the purpose of achieving a particular, or multiple goals.  "The act of dedicating or the state of being dedicated"  (America English Dictionary) No commitment no success.  That which you desire, wish or long for can only come your way if you devote your time, talent and what have you to achieve it or them.   Put in what you have and what you desire will come your way. Only desire, or wishes can not fetch you anything rather work hard, be involved and you will fly above the sky. Be committed, be dedicated, be devoted, be responsible, and be engaged and your success shall be sure and that will make you

"Two friends went off to a land noted for the richness of its soil. Both agreed to spend the rest of their lives farming different types of crops.  They both bought large swathes of land and started farming.  After clearing the land and planting seeds, one of the two felt that he has done all that was needed to be done and what remains is to wait for the harvest and so, off he went.  He stopped coming to the farm.  His friend kept reminding him of the need to come to the farm daily until the crops have sprouted, matured, and fruited.  He kept telling him of the importance of weeding his farm, and even applying some manure for the plants to do better.  But all these entreaties fell on deaf ears.  So, while one kept working on his farm daily, the other was home relaxing.  Slowly, his farm was overtaken by weeds and all the seedlings were choked to death.  After a couple of months, when he felt his crops should be due for harvesting, he showed up hoping to make a huge harvest, but he

 Jonny tried knowing about his future and how to go about it.  He set out to visit a fortune teller, who told him that his future is clouded with difficulties and misfortunes.  Remember, he wanted to know about his tomorrow, years to come, not the present.  After his journey, he became so sad, so distracted that he could not concentrate on his daily endeavors.  Hardly, he communicates to anyone, his conduct to people, everything around him turned sour, anger became his other name.  His today which has been bright and sunny, his future yet to come has stained it.  Use today to prepare for your tomorrow which no one knows about but your creator. Commit it into his hands and ask him to make it what you desire according to his holy will.  No one can tell better about your tomorrow and do not rely on people's assumptions about you. Seek God's face, his intentions and interpretation not man's. God owns the world and everything in it.  Remember, God governs the world but Prayer go

                                    Ade is a very jovial person. He smiles on seeing others. He waves at the sight of others. He alters kind words when the other is not looking bright. He does not pass you without exchanging pleasantries. He gives the other chance to express oneself first. He looks for opportunities to do little thing for the others. Ade shows patience that breaks the wall of enmity. He shows little care that heals. He gives a little arm that lifts the spirit. He shows a forgiving heart that changes situations.  He shows support that encourages. He shows wisdom that builds. He sees mistake in the  wickedness of others.  Ade sees struggle in other people's imperfections. He believes in the power of repentance. He does little things that make great impact. Little is attributed to things that are insignificant. It implies having small, or no value. It means not much, shallow, brief, having few, and short in duration. It is most of the time forgotten by people. It is b
