Vlog 294 – Charge the batteries!

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “Charge the batteries!”

Yes, yes, my friend, this year is about to end, and a new one is about to begin. Do not be sad or depressed!, charge the batteries! You have life, and you have so much to do with God; give God your yes, your love and kindness! You were born to serve, and you serve so much and much more than you imagine.

God wants you happy, He wants you happy, He wants you saint! Despite the evils and sufferings of this world, and of so many who need our example and prayer, for their conversion and salvation.

My friend, Step Up to the Plate! You have a lot of work, you must do so much, so much…

Ask God to enliven you with his peace and joy, in order to serve him as you should serve him. Do not fear work, service! God, Jesus of Nazareth, worked as a carpenter and served God the Father and everyone, and as you know, as Christ told us in the Gospel: “I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him”.

My friend, joy, God sends you to the world to proclaim the good news with your life!, charge the batteries with prayer and the sacraments!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 293 – The Word became flesh

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “The Word became flesh”.

My friend, my friend, yes, what happiness, Friday will be Christmas! Get ready to celebrate it, don’t just think about the Christmas carols, the family… the main and most important thing is that you are spiritually prepared to properly receive God, the child Jesus.

I do not know what your spiritual state is, I do not know if you are a true practicing catholic, consistent with the faith of the Church, or if you are sadly estranged from it. My friend, whatever your case, I make you the greatest of invitations: this Christmas, receive the child God in your heart, in your life and in Holy Communion. Yes, come on, my friend!; if you need to confess your sins, do not hesitate, do it; go to confess without fear, no matter how many sins you have committed and how horrible they may be; Jesus, God Himself, forgives you all sin that you are really sorry for, that you do not want to commit again, and that you confess before a catholic priest. My friend, make a good confession and then, you know, go to receive Communion.

The Word became flesh, and do you receive Him in your life and heart? The Son of God became Man and remained in the Eucharist, in the Living bread, so that you may receive Him, so that you may eat his Body and have eternal life; do you receive Him in communion?

My friend, change!, be better, be of Christ, the only and true God.

My Christmas gift to you is a link to the first chapter of the Gospel of Saint John, and the fervent wish and prayer for your holiness. Holy and happy Christmas!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 292 – Nativity scene at home!

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “Nativity scene at home!”

My friend, I do not know if you have the custom or tradition of making the Nativity scene at home or not, if so, surely you already put it last week, on the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, but if you have not done it, I really encourage you to do it. Why make the Nativity scene? In order to remember and to better live the mystery of the incarnation and birth of our dear Love, Jesus, God the Son. Putting a Nativity scene at home helps us to put Jesus, God Man, newborn, in our home and heart.

Do you have Jesus in your heart?, do you have Jesus, in your life, for living and acting according to the Catholic faith? Because “by their fruits you will know them,” said Jesus, and the fruits are deeds, not just words.

My friend, do you dare to make the Nativity scene at home? Do it in your heart too! Worship Jesus, God, and venerate his holy Mother, the ever-Virgin Mary, and her chaste husband Saint Joseph.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 291 – Conceived without sin

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “Conceived without sin”.

My friend, joy, let the angels, the saints and all the faithful sing! Our blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, was conceived without original sin. Through the merits of Jesus Christ, God preserved her from original sin at the moment of her conception, because she was the chosen one, the flower of the fragrant perfume, the most beautiful of all, the daughter of God the Father, whom God chose to be the wife of God the Holy Spirit, and the Mother of God the Son. How wonderful God is, how incredible and fantastic our faith is! And furthermore, He gives us Mary, his own Mother, to be our Mother, Mother of all, the good and the bad.

Mary, Mary, Mary, the most perfect woman, the woman who never sinned, the always Virgin, the brave, the prudent, the pure, the Holy.

Be good, learn from her, don’t let go of her hand, she leads you to her Son, God. Love her as a true child; Jesus, your Brother, God Himself, on the Cross, gave her to you as Mother. Celebrate it! Sing and dance! God has done great things with Mary, our beloved mother.

Hail Mary most pure, conceived without sin.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 290 – Get ready

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “Get ready”.

My friend, my friend, what happiness, we are in Advent! We have started the new liturgical year and we are in the period of spiritual preparation, yes, as you hear, of spiritual preparation for the birth of our beloved Jesus, God made Man.

Four Sundays before Christmas, the Church exhorts us to prepare, to pray and meditate, to repent, confess and rejoice for the nativity of Christ, to receive Him properly in our hearts, and not only in our hearts, in our entire lives! In our private, family, social, work life: from the most intimate and personal of us, to the most external!

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and He wants to be born in your heart, fanning it with joy and happiness. He loves you so much… and you, my friend, do you love Him?; How much do you love Him? How much do you love God, the Love of loves? Empty your heart of everything bad, of all vice, sin, cleaning it with a good confession, preparing yourself for Jesus to occupy everything, so that not a corner is left without being Jesus Christ, give everything to the living God, to the only one and true God!; propose to know and love Him more and better.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 289 – Christ the King

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “Christ the King”.

Yes, my friend, Christ is King, but is He King of your heart? Who is the center of your life? Jesus, God, the Triune God, or have you dethroned Him by yourself or by another person or thing, like money, fame …?

You will never be truly happy, if God, the Love of loves, does not dwell in you, in your heart, if his throne is not in it. Have you already given Him the keys, the control and command of your life? Do you resist? What are you waiting for the Almighty to make a wonder of you?

My friend, today that we celebrate the solemnity of Christ the King, give Him the keys of your kingdom, of yourself, of your whole life and everything that belongs to you; give your heart to Christ, God! And you will see how He transforms you. Celebrate it well, as it deserves! I hope you celebrate it in style, with all your joy and love. Happy solemnity of Christ the King, King of Love.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 288 – For all

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “For all”.

Yes, my friend, God loves each and every one of us, that is why He has dreamed and created us, that is why He wants us to be saints, and all of us, without exception, are called to holiness; yes you, me, everyone! Remember, be saints, just as your heavenly Father is saint, that’s why, I don’t know if the same thing happens to you, but it surprises me that many demand holiness from priests and religious, but they don’t even do what they ask of others.

Look, it’s very simple, God wrote the Ten Commandments for everyone, yes, for everyone; in order to go to Heaven, we all have the same laws; to be happy here on earth, and later in eternity, we must all keep his mandates. Is it difficult to understand? No, what costs is detachment from sin, but with prayer and the sacraments, everything can be done with God our savior.

My friend, watch over your holiness, do not look so much to others, first seek your salvation, God gives it to you if you do your part; comply with the Law of God, with the Law of Love, the Ten Commandments. Courage, champion! Go with God.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 287 – ¿Excuses?

 Hello my friend, I’m Victoria Bellido Durán, member of the Musical Group Flos Mariae, and today I want to give you my opinion about the subject that I entitled: “¿Excuses?”

My friend, there are those who talk a lot, their mouths are full of purposes and promises, and then, over time, when they have not made their plans, all are excuses.

His life seems like a regret… “I didn’t do it because… I would have done it if…”

My friend, don’t do like them, be silent, do not waste energy speaking and proclaiming, and then end up excusing yourself exhaustively. You, have a happy life, present your purposes to God, to God!, pray and do everything in your power to achieve them. Have willpower, do not give up your efforts and prayers, take action!

Have faith, because God can do even what seems distant and unattainable to you. Dream about your goals, do not spread them to the four winds and then be humiliated for not having achieved them. It is much better that you work hard and that your confidante be God. Don’t worry, you do, the works speak for themselves. Stop making excuses and move on!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.
