“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus…

He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,

even the death of the cross.“

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus…

He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,

even the death of the cross.”

What mind was in Christ Jesus? And therefore, what mind should be in us? Not the proud mind of the spirit of the world. Rather, Jesus humbled Himself and was obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

In what did His great humiliation consist? In this: Being in very nature God, co-equal with the Father, He made Himself nothing, humbled Himself and took on human nature. Jesus was obedient to the Heavenly Father also in that He accepted the means of our salvation – death on the cross.

Original sin is in every one of us. It is inborn stupidity which deceives us all our life. We must fight against it. That is why Jesus says: “Deny yourself!” Deny that lie in you which wants to harm you, leads you by the nose into self-destruction and finally into hell. That’s our pride. If someone points out our fault or tells us that we are proud, we are mortally offended. How foolish we are! We should be grateful to everyone who tells us: you are such and such. Even if someone spat in our face, we should be thankful: “Really, maybe I do not yet understand what you tell me but I am aware of my sins…” If you are humble, the devil flees. Let us walk in the truth and we will fear nothing. Or else, how shall we stand before the judgment seat of God where eye witnesses will accuse us?

“If you do not forgive others their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.“

“If you do not forgive others their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

For two weeks, the word of life will remind us of the necessity of forgiveness. If we forgive others, the Lord enlightens our minds and we understand that we also have hurt others and need forgiveness. Therefore, it is good to know and adopt a life principle expressed in the short prayer: “My God, I forgive this person, and I pray that You also forgive me, for I have hurt and offended many, and I was blind to my own guilt and unwilling to admit it.” Every act of forgiveness marks a spiritual breakthrough. It is no good philosophizing or theologizing about it. You need to make this step. And then you will experience peace and the light of understanding that you have never had before. You will gain the assurance that when you ask for God’s mercy, God forgives your sins because you have fulfilled the condition and forgiven your brother from your heart.

“I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet …

I have set you an example.“

I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet …

I have set you an example.

At the Last Supper, Jesus gave the apostles an example of deep humility. He did not act as one who is to be served, but as one who himself serves. He washed the apostles’ feet. This was a task performed by slaves. We know how much this shocked the apostles. The apostle Peter, in particular, resisted strongly. In the end, however, he obeyed.

Jesus says: “Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart.” It is also possible, from time to time in small communities – perhaps once a year, to make such a gesture, where brothers wash one another’s feet. Some non-Catholics even practise this more often. Washing another brother’s feet, and also allowing one’s own feet to be washed, is a gesture of humility, especially when a person does it sincerely, with awareness of their own guilt, which they may not have recognized for a long time.

When asked who can actually be saved, Saint Anthony the Hermit answered emphatically: “Only the humble.” That means those who have dethroned their self-confident ego and made Jesus the king of their soul instead.

Jesus loves you; He puts His trust in you. Never say that something is beyond your power. God always gives us the strength. Trust in God’s Word which says: “When I am weak, then I am strong.” Do not believe in the words of the devil who says: You can’t stick it any longer! These are the devil’s words, and the old self like a cunning fox full of pride is inclined to believe this nonsense and lies over and over again!

Each day has enough trouble of its own, but I need to give it to the Lord. Don’t let it worry me, and if I must carry it, so let me carry it together with Jesus – Jesus and I. Only one thing is needed: together – Jesus and you!!! Jesus and I, together! Never more alone! We need to try it in practice not just every day but a number of times a day. And not just for one or two days but until death. This is the miraculous remedy for everything: union with Jesus!!!

“My brothers, do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh.“

My brothers, do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh.

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbour as yourself.”

What is true freedom in Christ? It does not mean casting aside God’s laws and commandments, allowing the proud ego to indulge its unrestrained bodily desires and commit evil without remorse. Human freedom does not consist in the inviolability of the ego, which, in its pride, wants to have the final say, even over God’s word. This would be false freedom, leading to destruction. Freedom in Christ means that a person accepts the path of truth – that is, repentance – and denies himself, his own pride. He is aware of the law of the grain of wheat, which must die in order for new life to come. He thus fully recognizes the reality that the pride of our ego – untouchable and easily offended – must be called by its true name. He is conscious of this spiritual poison within the human heart, within himself, from which all wars and crimes arise and which is also the cause of eternal condemnation. On the throne of our soul sits the proud ego. It must be cast down!

“Be very careful, then, how you live, … redeeming the time,

because the days are evil.“

“Be very careful, then, how you live, … redeeming the time,

because the days are evil.”

This word of life is highly topical at the present time. Our times are truly apocalyptic. The world is held under Satan’s totalitarian dictatorship. This spirit of lies and death, operating under the name New World Order, in reality conceals depopulation or genocide agenda. The agenda is implemented through earthly demons incarnate, the architects of death, criminals against humanity, members of Masonic lodges, who are owners of the largest banks and control the entire world, holding it in their grip.

What should we do, being seemingly powerless? God’s Word gives the answer: We should be careful, very careful, how we live. Otherwise, we will waste this time which God has given us. We will waste it to our own detriment and to the detriment of those for whom we could have been instruments of the grace of salvation. Let us be fully aware of this!

“Do not conform yourselves to this age… that you may discern

what is the will of God.“

“Do not conform yourselves to this age… that you may

discern what is the will of God.”

Today we are exposed to extremely strong pressure from the darkness of this age – the spirit of the world, which stands in fierce opposition to God. It is leading not only Christians, but all of humanity, into total moral collapse. A devilishly engineered system spews out lies of every kind, above all through mass media. It exploits the internet and smartphones to literally brainwash people and impose unnatural – even perverse – principles. It is almost incomprehensible that humanity accepts and embraces this spiritual suicide, which leads not only to temporal death, but also to eternal death. A fierce spiritual battle for the salvation of our souls is raging. We must stand against the spirit of this world and accept the protection given by God’s laws. The official Catholic Church, which has been transformed into a New Age anti-church, not only no longer accepts them, but actively promotes the exact opposite.

To deny yourself, to abandon yourself for the sake of Jesus – this is pure love. In Him is eternal life. However, people cling to deceit, philosophies, doctrines and all kinds of –isms which mislead us. We must put our faith in Jesus and His Gospel. This is plain wisdom which leads us to eternal life.

Jesus says: “Whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” (Mk 8:38)

Human pride is in the heart of every one of us. If someone ridicules us, we react to it immediately. But we must learn to say: “Even if all laugh at me, only one thing is important to me: How is God looking at me?” This is the one thing that is needed. I need to stop in a particular situation and to stand in the presence of God: “Lord, let them defame me and spit at me. They did the same to You, called You bad names…” No one has ever said such words about us as the religious hierarchy said about Jesus. They said that He was out of His mind, possessed by a demon and the like, and sought to kill Him. Let us follow Jesus even if all spit in our face.

Unfortunately, one often surrenders in such situation, thinks to oneself: “They have no regard for me, I am a nobody…” and denies Christ and His Gospel.
