Beloved Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, Spouse of the Holy Spirit
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Lk 11,27-28
At the time when Jesus was speaking to the people, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and cried out to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breast that fed you! And he replied, “Yes, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it. Read More
”Dominus Jesus” Part 2
In spite of the abundance of this subject area, it is appropriate in the context of daily spiritual reflection to work out only the most essential points in order to give the faithful the right orientation as to how the relationship of the Catholic Church to other religions is to be evaluated. This is all the more important, however, because a certain disorientation is spreading and with it an uncertainty with regard to the proclamation of the faith. Read More
“Dominus Jesus”
The topic of yesterday still needs to be deepened and classified, because dealing with other religions and currents of thought from the perspective of faith is essential. Our world has meanwhile become so “small” and on the way of globalization, so that it is helpful for faithful Catholics to know how other religions are to be dealt with in a right way from the view of faith. Also the question how to assess the ecumenical efforts moves some believers. Read More
Answering questions – About yoga
Actually, I had already finished the daily interpretation of the Scriptures – the reading of the day – and was about to record it with sound.

The importance of the vocation
St. Clare
Mt 19, 27-29
Then Peter answered and said, ‘Look, we have left everything and followed you. What are we to have, then?’ Jesus said to them, ‘In truth I tell you, when everything is made new again and the Son of man is seated on his throne of glory, you yourselves will sit on twelve thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or land for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times as much, and also inherit eternal life. Read More
To disregard life”
Jn 12,24-26 (Reading for the Feast of St. Lawrence)
In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain falls into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies it yields a rich harvest. Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me, must follow me, and my servant will be with me wherever I am. If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him. Read More
Zealous love
Rom 9, 1- 5
This is the truth and I am speaking in Christ, without pretence, as my conscience testifies for me in the Holy Spirit; there is great sorrow and unremitting agony in my heart: I could pray that I myself might be accursed and cut off from Christ, if this could benefit the brothers who are my own flesh and blood.

Memorial of St. Dominic
- Cor 2, 2-10
Now when I came to you, brothers, I did not come with any brilliance of oratory or wise argument to announce to you the mystery of God. I was resolved that the only knowledge I would have while I was with you was knowledge of Jesus, and of him as the crucified Christ. Read More

Conclusion of the meditations on the Fathers Message
The father speaks to his children, Part 39
Today when we celebrate the feast of our heavenly Father. We will just listen to the words of the Holy Scripture accompanied by Musica Sacra sung by Harpa Dei.
In the end I will present a prayer which might be like an answer we could give to the mediations we shared about the Fathers book. You are heartily invited to pray it and may be invite others to do it also! Read More
