  • Paying attention to all aspects of spiritual foundation together.

    We are still talking about the foundation of our spiritual life, how do I know it, where and how does this knowledge grow and deepen. Here we try to know more about the ways to keep its continuous effectiveness in my life through paying equal attention to all the certain ways to reach that foundation.

    Step 1: Read Revelation 21:14-20
    What is that city? What are the different aspects that reflect the beauty of the foundations and its image?

    In the beginning of the text, it talks about 12 foundations (12 is a number that resembles Perfection, i.e. all together and not one missing) then towards the end, it explained about Them, was there a foundation that was forgotten? Do you do that in your spiritual life’s foundations?

    In your opinion, why did the bible care about explaining the details of the foundations and cared about its embellishments with precious jewels more than explaining the city itself or its embellishments despite that the foundations are always underground?

    Question for children: whoever wants to excel has to care equally about studying all the subjects he/she has. Is he/she supposed to stop studying one subject just because he/ she loves another one? Do you care equally about what makes you know your God more?

    Step 2: Pray
    My God, how great is your mercy towards me because you didn’t only let me know your Trinity, or how to reach you as a real spiritual foundation, but also you guarantee Continuing my relationship with you through knowing the ways of reaching you and Equally keeping them all.

  • How to deepen the foundation of my spiritual building

    God created us on his Trinitarian image. In your opinion, how will you spiritual, humanitarian and family life be in the light of your understanding to the trinity, your partnership with it and your existence in it.

    Step 1: Read John 17:20-23

    Is the trinity harmonious in its work? If I partnership with it, is it going to reflect on The harmony of my life, thinking and decision? If we were one with the Father, the Son And the Holy spirit as it is written, then how much will my life be in harmony and controlled?

    Because we are naturally created on god’s image, our souls are always thirst for glory, So, do I take the Glory that’s his or do I as for the world’s glory? According to the text How do I get this glory?

    Question for Children: God the Father is always in heaven, we knew more about him from The life of His Son Jesus through his life on earth between us, we are on His image, so does Everyone who sees me know more about God? How do I achieve that in your opinion?

    Step 2: Pray

    Oh how Your love embarrasses me when you reveal to me what is inside you for me And what a high position and a great glory you have given me, how do I deny all that and not seek to deepen my knowledge of you and my partnership with Your trinity day after Day, so please help me.

  • Where do I find the knowledge of God as a foundation of building my life

    Do you remember what you learned about your God in the sacrament of Baptism? Have you experienced this knowledge? What did you do for this knowledge to grow?

    Step1: Read Mark 1:9-13
    Everything that Jesus did in his life on earth was for us, and because he took the body of our humanity, everything he did for us is given to us (our inheritance), I have the right to know his secrets and live by them if I unite myself with him and kept my relationship alive with him.

    What did Jesus see and hear in His baptism? Where did He go right after?

    Why was the first place he goes to before his ministry and after his baptism is the wilderness? Was he sustaining and living what He took in Baptism as a foundation for his life and ministry? What do we learn or take from this if all he did was for us?

    Question for Children: Have you heard what the priest says while baptising a baby? That’s what he said when he put you in the baptismal fountain. In your opinion how would my relationship with God be according to what the priest said in baptism and gave me a new name for him?

    Step 2: Pray
    Oh God, how rich are you and how rich are your gifts and graces, you have put a foundation for my life and relationship with you since childhood, so renew my knowledge of you and Increase it, help me to ask more of it and to take care of it to secure the building Of my life and take it higher and higher.
