And pray ye without ceasing in behalf of other men. For there is in them hope of repentance that they may attain to God. See, then, that they be instructed by your works, if in no other way. Be ye meek in response to their wrath, humble in opposition to their boasting: to their blasphemies return your prayers; in contrast to their error, be ye stedfast in the faith; and for their cruelty, manifest your gentleness. While we take care not to imitate their conduct, let us be found their brethren in all true kindness; and let us seek to be followers of the Lord(who ever more unjustly treated, more destitute, more condemned?), that so no plant of the devil may be found in you, but ye may remain in all holiness and sobriety in Jesus Christ, both with respect to the flesh and spirit.
-- St. Ignatius
"And pray ye without ceasing in behalf of other men. For there is in them hope of repentance that they may attain to God. See, then, that they be instructed by your works, if in no other way."
What we were are doing by our Prayers especially Divine Mercy Prayers is so powerful as Christ explains to St Faustina. The Divine Mercy is for the Last Days too as Christ also explains.
The Lord showed myself about charity at times. I have literally while working on my truck route of old have someone come up to ask for money. Now I would pray about it in my mind while the person was asking too. I give monthly to missions myself. it was 5 dollars at the time.
After I would give it to the person the scanner would beep. I look down to see the message saw no message then looked up. The person and the car are gone. This was just a rare few seconds. Impossible. Except for a lesson from the angels sent by God. No way she got in the car which was parked 35 feet away and then be able to drive away. I look down then up right away.
I had this happen I think three times in my life. A few years at a time. Once after giving I scratched a pre bought lotto ticket it was 5 dollars which was the amount just given. So God is so Good to show he will take care of our needs not our greeds.
Give and it shall be given to you.
A Christian without works is a not such. Seek in prayer we will find from our Jesus.
Praise Jesus!
