Religion and superstition thoughts from Francisco Marques: In a society lead by science and technology, there is a very strong growth in superstitious concepts. The distancing from the Truth leads the man to seek to respond to his eternal restlessness. In this book, the author Francisco Marques reflects on the existence of superstition in our lives, helping the reader to individualise and move away from all that is dangerous to his spiritual life, and proposes a path of growth and a passage to true devotion, which leads to true peace, freedom and happiness. Issues such as: Human Religiosity; The “New Age”; The Occult; Holistic Therapies; Freedom from Superstition; and much more. (Includes an Incredible Testimony) are addressed.
I need to be able to say to God, “I am doubting you. I am angry at you. I am feeling torn apart. Help me!” I think saying out loud how we feel to God allows Him to respond back in our heart and through others and there can be spiritual peace. Finally, I rely on Confession. When I get grumpy and negative, I can confess this before God and publicly before a priest for forgiveness and strength to move on. If you are in a relationship with someone and a lack of trust has come into that relationship, it is important for that relationship that the doubts are openly talked about. It is the same with my relationship with God.
Keeps Jesus Christ the center of your life. It is of great significance to be in God’s presence. Personally, I think of it as setting apart a time for God because he more than deserves my time. It’s in gratitude for what Christ has done for me. We are called to be disciples and follow the Lord’s commandments. If you’re a Christian and God is in the center of your life, you’re doing it right. The Son of God sacrificed his life and died for our sins. The least we can do is take one hour of 24, one day of the week to visit His Holy Place. Anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ should do so. During Mass, receiving the Body and Blood of our Lord brings us into a continuous reminder that God is with us and in us. If we believe that, then it has a huge effect on our behavior and mindset.
