Foundation and Growth Talk
Introduction of Catholic Life in Spirit Seminar (CLISS)
The Living for Christ Prayer Community offered the Life in the Spirit Seminar to all parishioner of Toronto. It begun by a Casting Prayer and the spiritual anointing to the Holy Spirit. It was so effective, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us. As we prayed a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a new life has sprung it was as if the Lord was saying "this is my people".
Jesus said: "Unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." (John 3:3). Faith is a force, a mighty drive that penetrates into the power of God. Faith is a gift from God, not a product of what we do. I find great faith in a great Jesus. The greater Jesus is to you, the stronger your faith. Through faith in His Name has made us a man strong, who you see and know like Christ. Yes, the faith that comes from Him has given us this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Jesus said: "Unless anyone is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." (John 3:3). That, we must be baptized by the living water and received the spirit of God. (Acts 2:38, 41). Many occasions when He healed someone, Jesus said, "Your faith has made you whole.: Or, "Be it done to you according to your faith."

Catholic Life in the Spirit Seminar - God's Love - A Study Journal
God's love has acted on our behalf in sending Jesus to us. In Jesus, God's love acts to bring healing for our whole being: new birth for our spirit, healing and transformation of our soul (mind, will, intellect, memories), and healing and restoration for our bodies. Love acts; and our love can act on behalf of our loved ones by bringing them to Jesus, perhaps not physically, but certainly in our prayers and intercession for them. Let your love act on their needs as well as on your own. Lord Jesus, Love of the Father given to us and revealed to us, I come to You bringing my loved ones and friends to you that they may touch you and be touched by You for salvation and healing of spirit, soul, and body. Touch us, heal us, transform us, and use us that You may be encountered and glorified in and through us. Amen!
God, in His love for David, gave him His favour and the favour of the people; God's love gave David kingship over Israel. Love gave David a grateful heart that acknowledged God's blessings, that it was God's blessing that brought successes that he and the people of Israel enjoyed. God's love rewarded David's love and loyalty with promises of even more. Love is a giver.

Catholic Life in the Spirit Seminar - Growing in the Spirit - A Study Journal
The "Come to Me" of Jesus is a wonderful invitation, not a command. It isn't an invitation to a one-time party or event. It is an invitation to an intimate, enduring relationship with Him, a relationship that will keep growing as we live it, a relationship that will have no end. Come!It is a "come as you are" invitation; come with your struggles, past hurts, sense of unworthiness, and patterns of sin, but come! Come to Jesus, experience His love, healing, forgiveness, rest, peace, and His great delight in you. Come and delight yourself in Him as He delights in you.
I am grateful to God for many things, but one of most favorite reasons is that He is in the recycling business. I love that He takes everything that is damaging and ugly in our lives and changes it into something beautiful and useful. Nothing, no experience, good or bad, is wasted and I take comfort in that.
So many times, when we are in the midst of pain due to the many disappointments and heartaches of life it is easy to become convinced that God doesn't see or care about us, but I am here to tell you that He does. He sees it all. Nothing goes unnoticed by Him. In fact, every tear we cry is precious to Him. So much so that He bottles each and every one (Psalm 56:8).

Catholic Life in the Spirit Seminar - Baptism of the Holy Spirit - A Study Journal
Acts chapters 10 and 11 tell how God called Peter to preach salvation to the gentile Cornelius and his household. He was sent in spite of his inclination to think that salvation was only for the Jews. The vision made it clear that he was to go without hesitation: "What God has made clean, you must not call profane.".
As he preached Jesus to them, the Holy Spirit came down upon them and they began to speak in tongues and glorify God: "just as He had upon us at the beginning."This baptism with the Holy Spirit was a clear sign of God's acceptance of them and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in them, a sign that they truly believed in Jesus and had repented of their sins. Accordingly, Peter ordered them to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.This baptism with the Holy Spirit is meant for every believer in Jesus. It is absolutely necessary for our faith to come alive, to become contagious and effective. We are not meant to be powerless, fearful Christians, rather, we are meant to have the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit at work in us and through us as He was through the apostles and those who accepted Jesus Christ as Messiah, Saviour, and Lord.

Evangelization Through Christian Community - A Study Journal
Made for Mission
Everyone who comes to Christ Jesus with faith and repentant heart is born again by the Holy Spirit and made a new creature in Christ. We become His and, glory of glories, He becomes ours. As His people we are made new creation for His mission: to spread the Good News to others so that they also may know Him and enjoy sweet fellowship with Him and with fellow believers. His mission is our mission. If not us, who? If not now, when?
During this time of social distancing, we can still reach out by telephone, letters, emails, and social media. Let's do it! We are made for mission! Alleluia!

Obedience a Christian Virtue - An Essential Part of the Christian Life
We praise Mary's the Mother of God as the God bearer and a vessel of grace. We honor Mary for her obedience and the fruit that it bore. Let us, like Mary, become vessels of grace. This can happen as we persevere in obedience to the command of God and as we strive to remain obedient to the Holy Spirit. God wants to be doers of His words that all works with for him as he transforms our lives. As we submit to Him, let us remember that his goal is that everyone who encounters us may come to see the life of God shining from within!
