New Creations in Christ

This means that our knowledge of men can no longer be based on their outward lives (indeed, even though we knew Christ as a man we do not know him like that any longer). For if a man is in Christ he becomes a new person altogether—the past is finished and gone, everything has become fresh and new. All this is God’s doing, for he has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ; and he has made us agents of the reconciliation. God was in Christ personally reconciling the world to himself—not counting their sins against them—and has commissioned us with the message of reconciliation. We are now Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were appealing direct to you through us. As his personal representatives we say, “Make your peace with God.” For God caused Christ, who himself knew nothing of sin, actually to be sin for our sakes, so that in Christ we might be made good with the goodness of God. — 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 | J.B.

“We cannot hope to understand Gurdjieff unless we attempt to share his sense of the historical significance of spiritual traditions. He knew that periodic renewals are inevitable, but he was convinced that there is an eternal unchanging core of wisdom to which mankind has always had access. He frequently referred to traditions four or five thousand years old, that were still preserved when he travelled in Asia, as well as to more ancient teachings going back to human origins.”

The Profound Benefits of Praying the Rosary

Shaina Tranquilino

January 8, 2024

Throughout history, individuals seeking solace, guidance, and spiritual connection have turned to prayer as a powerful tool. Among the numerous forms of prayer, one stands out for its profound impact on millions of believers worldwide - the rosary. This beautiful and contemplative practice holds immense benefits that extend beyond religious boundaries, offering peace, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection with oneself and a higher power. In this blog post, we will explore some of the remarkable advantages of praying the rosary.

1. Tranquility in Times of Chaos: In our fast-paced modern world filled with stressors and distractions, finding moments of inner tranquility is crucial for maintaining emotional well-being. The repetitive recitation of prayers while holding the beads provides an opportunity for stillness and reflection. As each bead slips through our fingers, we are transported to a place of calmness and serenity within ourselves.

2. Enhanced Focus and Concentration: The rhythmic nature of praying the rosary aids in developing focus and concentration skills. Through this practice, our minds learn to ignore external distractions and turn inward towards prayerful thoughts or intentions. Regularly engaging in this meditative exercise can improve mental acuity even outside prayer sessions.

3. Deepening One's Relationship with God or a Higher Power: Praying the rosary fosters a sincere connection with God or any other divine entity one may believe in. Each decade offers an opportunity to reflect upon various aspects of faith such as virtues, mysteries, or events from scripture. This intimate dialogue helps strengthen personal spirituality by promoting self-reflection, gratitude, forgiveness, and trust in a higher power.

4. A Source of Comfort during Difficult Times: Life presents us with trials that can sometimes feel overwhelming. During these challenging periods, turning to the rosary can provide solace like no other form of prayer can offer. By seeking solace in the repetitive prayers and meditations, the rosary becomes a source of comfort, reminding us that we are not alone and that there is always hope.

5. A Pathway to Inner Peace: Praying the rosary allows individuals to enter into a state of deep peace and inner harmony. The soothing rhythm of reciting Hail Marys and contemplating on sacred mysteries has a calming effect on the mind and body. This peacefulness carries into daily life, promoting emotional stability, resilience, and an overall sense of well-being.

6. Cultivating Virtues and Personal Growth: The rosary serves as a powerful tool for personal growth by encouraging the cultivation of virtues such as patience, humility, compassion, and self-discipline. As one engages in this prayerful practice regularly, they become more aware of their actions, attitudes, and intentions - leading to positive behavioural changes over time.

Praying the rosary is undoubtedly a transformative spiritual practice with far-reaching benefits for people from diverse backgrounds. It offers solace amidst chaos, strengthens focus and concentration skills, deepens one's relationship with God or a higher power, provides comfort during challenging times, nurtures inner peace, and fosters personal growth through virtuous living. Whether you are religious or simply seeking a means to connect with your spirituality in a profound way, adding the rosary to your prayer routine can bring about remarkable transformations within yourself.

Spiritually my soul is required to release toxins that are no longer for me mentally, emotionally, physically, energetically, and vibrationally. The thing is, is that through this release/ purge, my body feels extremely exhausted, nauseous, & overwhelmed with the intensity of what it physically & emotionally takes to transform/ ascend. Like I have food poisoning but from the environment… so I basically have environment poisoning currently. It’s already worth it though.

Don't Get Too Comfortable (Amos 9:7-15)

Don’t simply believe you’re okay and anyone who disagrees with you is not okay.

“Are not you Israelites    the same to me as the Cushites?”declares the Lord.“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,    the Philistines from Caphtor    and the Arameans from Kir? “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord    are on the sinful kingdom.I will destroy it    from the face of the earth.Yet I will not totally destroy    the descendants of Jacob,”declares the Lord.“For I will give the…

Prodigal Catholics: Homecoming of the Heart -A Tale of Rediscovery and Spiritual Renewal

As prodigal Catholics delve deeper into the theological richness of Catholicism, they find a profound intellectual and spiritual tradition that resonates with their questions and yearnings. 

Embarking on a journey to the Catholic Church is a profound and transformative chapter in my spiritual narrative.  I was not raised within the folds of Christianity, let alone Catholicism. Life’s twists and turns led me far away from God, and for a time, I walked different paths seeking spiritual fulfilment.  Yet, the gentle tug and a deep yearning for transcendence caused me to search for…

With you, I lift my heart in gratitude for the magnificent gift of new opportunity, new life, new hope. We lift our voices in praise of our bountiful and forgiving God. For surely He is a God of new beginnings. The sublime end of all His labor is to help us, His children, succeed in our quest for immortality and eternal life. We can become new creatures in Christ, for God has promised, "As often as my people repent will I forgive them their trespasses against me" and "remember them no more." My beloved brothers and sisters, dear friends, we all drift from time to time. But we can get back on course. We can navigate our way through the darkness and trials of this life and find our way back to our loving Heavenly Father if we seek and accept the spiritual landmarks He has provided, embrace personal revelation, and strive for daily restoration. This is how we become true disciples of our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ.

Resiliency and adaptability are the two most important make or break skills to have, and I want you to have more and better tools to hone those skills.

There’s always going to be something in the external world to push us off the path towards wellness and spiritual renewal, that’s why it’s so important to focus on learning how to get yourself back on track.

1: Start small: I’m talking really small, I’m talking micro-progress.

2: Log Out!:  Get off of Social media, Take break, delete your profile, just do something.

3: Get outside: Our bodies are hard-wired to benefit from fresh air, sunshine, and exercise outdoors.

4: Exercise: Speaking of exercise, exercise makes depression and anxiety lift, but just like a shower it only lasts for one day, so make loving physical movement a part of your every day life.

5: Sleep: There is no one area of your life that you can improve to improve all the other areas of your life than focusing on getting deep, restful, restorative sleep every single night.  Find out how in this article, I offer a lot of practical, very easy to execute advice on this subject because it’s so important.

6: Improve your diet: Just level up a bit from where you are, and keep improving.  You don’t have to completely give up your favorite junk food, just make a slight improvement every day and build new and better nutrition habits.

7: Stay off of Dating Apps: If you have been scrolling dating apps for ten years it’s high time for a break. You can always go back on, but you’ll never be able to compare how you feel not being on them without taking a break.

8: Have Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself, you are enough, you are worth it, the most important opinion in the world is the one you have of yourself.  The bad people who don’t deserve kindness or compassion are never looking at articles about self improvement or spiritual renewal because they think they’re perfect and the sad truth is they will probably never change.

9: Thought Paradigm Recalibration: Adjust your expectations to today’s world not 2019.

10: Pick up a project you set aside: Return to a hobby project you started, set a timer for 20 minutes, and then see how you felt doing it.  Did you enter a flow state and forget all about the timer and re-engage with a beloved activity?  Or did you feel every single second and realize you’re just not into that project anymore?  Either way, you have useful information, and it’s ok to say you’re not going to continue a project and make room for something new.
