ASHES, DEATH, AND WHAT WE HATE TO GIVE UP

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

Ashes are the residue of fire light burning what once was alive.
They symbolize mortal Death that we humans will all experience
and on the spiritual plane, a life prone to sin. 
We must Hate anything that keeps us from living
the sign of the cross—the sign of the love of God.

The relationship of light, to life and love is all encompassing.  During Lent we see a lengthening of days (light) leading to spring, hence the English word lent, a verb meaning spring to life. The Most Holy Trinity is the only source of this springing to true light, true life and true love.



Turning off artificial light is an awesome idea.  We will closet the TV (based on artificial cathode ray R-G-B light) this lent and pray a candlelit rosary adding nighttime charitble works and spiritual reading until the Light of the Easter vigil is ignited.

For any reader who does not see the battle between true, Light, Life and Love and the imposters, please go to GOOGLE and search for Light, Life, Love.  Pay attention to the added 4th L, the word Liberty..."do thou as thou wilt."  It perverts the other three.

The New Agers, esoteric counterfeits are constantly assaulting these three words (faux light, lifestyles, lust) and are entrapping Christians with lying words.

We must bind these three words together as a Triple Cord, a triple cord that cannot be broken. (Ecclesiates 4:12 "And if a man prevail against one, two shall withstand him: a threefold cord is not easily broken.")

...with an R-G-B cord
as a reminder around my wrist.

Sincerely yours in Jesus and Mary,
Mike Rizzio
