Vain repetitions in prayer are really about SELF, not God!!
Compare to the Our Father.
TRUE and holy "repetitions" like Rosaries and Chaplets are meant to HYPERFIX OUR FOCUS AND SENSES ON GOD. It's not about "talking a lot" or "being heard if I say the right things"; it's about completely immersing ourselves in thoughts of God and His Son and His Mother. It's about growing in holy love and discipline through this special worship format.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0615:
Hearing the devil talk today during a binge (scary how it drags my mind-radio down that low)
THERE ARE NO "VICTIMLESS CRIMES" BECAUSE CHRIST IS "THE" VICTIM!!!
"Corrupt" vs misled/malformed conscience
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0623:
Contemplative prayer: emptying mind feels "good" because you AREN'T SINNING AND CANNOT SIN in that state of peace. Instead you are open to simply perceive the goodness of God.
We must be United to the WHOLE TRINITY!!
The Father is within & without all Creation. The "Source ".
BUT the SON is for US in our mortality! That's why He took on flesh-- to be our Food, so we can become like Him in this Unique way.
The Spirit is... not sure yet? I love Him but don't know enough about Him yet. BUT I THINK He works powerfully for us Through Mary??? She IS His Spouse!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0624:
Cain vs Abel- WORKS VS GRACE, PRIDE VS HUMILITY
Ground cursed by original sin, but sheep WEREN'T? Wondering about their subsequent association with SACRIFICIAL PURITY especially IN CHRIST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0625:
Relapsing into thievery. I don't trust God enough to provide for me. Why??? Is greed part of this? Wanting more than I need? Why do I assumedly want it?
The violence of popular culture has DESENSITIZED US to the Passion of Christ!!!
Genesis 3:1 = ENTITLEMENT!!! The garden WASN'T MADE FOR ADAM. He's just the caretaker. He was BLESSED to be given that role, blessed to be allowed to eat the fruit at all. But the serpent is like "well you should want ALL of it; God is being mean to forbid you any at all!"
7 Deadly Sins = starts with PRIDE. "I know better than God."
Then envy and greed- "I want more than what God gave; I am jealous of those who have more" and these are both motivated by LUST. Wrath is born from this too! Not sure about sloth?? But obviously gluttony with the fruit.
