LIFE SHALL NOT VANISH FROM THIS EARTH INFINITE LOVE CONQUERING DEATH IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND "COME UNTO ME YE WHO ARE HEAVY LADEN" THE SHORE OF THE NARROW SEA SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS VIA DELLA MORTE
(The Way of the Dead) TO THOSE WHO OVERCOME A CROWN OF GLORY SHALL BE GIVEN
LOVE SAVING FAINTING AND EXHAUSTED LIFE
Symbol of the great joy of God's promise that man shall live and never again vanish from the earth.
"And there was a rainbow round about the throne." - Revelation 4:3 Nothing ever dies. Things change their physical appearance but LIFE, which exists in every particle of matter, never dies.
"The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head and there shall be no more death." "And there shall be no more death, neither the sound of weeping, for He shall wipe away all tears."
"O grave where is thy victory, O death where is thy sting?"
The real or true self of every man is SPIRIT, a part of God Himself who is "From everlasting to everlasting."
This is a great truth whispered to us by the God energy in every cell of our body. If we will only listen to that voice we are assured there is no depth from which Spirit will not lift us to a healthy worthwhile life of value to God and our fellow man
The words of Jesus come down across the ages to us, as full of comfort, as full of truth as when He spoke them nearly two thousand years ago. There is a power that will shield and strengthen us in every storm and sorrow of life. We need only to accept its shelter and healing ministry.
Let us open the door of our souls to Him.
"Behold I stand at the door and knock." - Revelation 3:20 With her waist encircled by the old arm which has supported her through life, the aged mother holds out her palsied hand to the child speeding to the reunion of loved ones. Christ whispers: "Here they come," and in their eagerness to embrace, the angels are outstripped as they hurry forward with their message of welcome.
They heed not the rising tide for there is no death for these. They love, and where true love is there can be no death, for Love is God, Conqueror of Death. The mother has climbed to the dark attic and by the light of the flickering candle, tenderly fondles the cherished belongings of a departed loved one. In the quiet of this upper room the Spirit within speaks to her and she is comforted by a realization that her beloved is not dead but alive and safe in the loving care of the Creator of all life. Undmindful of the fact that there is no death, she clutches to her breast the libations for her supposed dead. All about her is life and beauty but she is too engrossed in her own grief to see or appreciate it.
This attitude of mind, the state of being sorry for ourselves, brings to us most of the ills we have to bear in this life. "Whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, that same shall find it."
This is a great truth and reality of life.
The monk has come to his work, a work he has loved till he too carries the "stigmata." He faces the sunrise, thinks of the wonderful things others have done and is depressed in spirit. Yet he has done the one thing that can put more hope into the hearts of his fellow townsmen than anything else he could have done. He has carved them the image of The Christ blessing them even from His cross. Why then should we give into to these moments of despondency that come to all of us? We may have made a Christ, we cannot tell.
Love is the most virile force we know for it is the God within us. God is Love. Love is perhaps the greatest therapeutic force man can use. The hope of the world lies with the child. "Suffer little children to come unto me," said Jesus nearly two thousand years ago. Mother love is the strongest attribute in the Mammal. Were it not so mammal life would have vanished from this world ages ago. Life start in pain but is destined to finaly achieve love, helpfulness and glory.
Symbol of the great joy of God's promise that man shall live and never again vanish from the earth.
"And there was a rainbow round about the throne." - Revelation 4:3
