Vlog 73 – Constancy

 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: “Constancy”.

My friend, probably sometime you have been excited about the idea of having some power; perhaps teleportation, the power of flying, reading the minds of others… You’ve said to yourself that would be fine, but after all, what does it serve to you? These powers are very good in literature and film, but them don’t serve or help you in your everyday; however, the virtue of constancy is something real that gives you power, not an instant power of superhero’s movie, but a real power indeed, the power to fight with persistence and to wait with faith the good you want to achieve.

My friend, love the constancy and be constant!, and you’ll triumph with God and by God, in everything good that you undertake, overcoming all the trials and problems that face you, and all the storms that lash you.

Live the constancy!, even in prayer; and however much they may crush you, you will rise up stronger each time.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 72 – Yes or yes

 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: “Yes or yes”.

My friend, I will not mislead you; even if you don’t want, here on Earth you will suffer, yes or yes. The wicked suffer for their wickedness, for their guilty conscience because of their sins, hatred, revenge and envy, which take over their senses and life…; the good suffer because of the evils of the bad people.

Some say that since they will suffer yes or yes, then they prefer to do evil, and that is something stupid, because it’s not the same to suffer for the sins and atrocities of oneself, that to suffer for the sins and atrocities of the others, because here on Earth, both suffer, but in eternity, only the bad suffers in the Hell. As an example, it is as if one said: “I live because of breathing, then as I breath sleeping or working, and I don’t want to exert myself, nor work, I will always stay sleeping in bed”; or another example would be that, happening a war, one say that as in any of the two sides will have to fight, it doesn’t matter if he has to enlist in one side or the other side. My friend, in addition to being absurd, only the cowards have that stance, because it’s quite true that belongs to cowards to be bad and to do evil; only the brave dare to do good, and to have a dignified life.

My friend, considering that you will suffer in this life yes or yes, do good, be an honorable person; apart from having the satisfaction of doing the good thing, the correct thing, and of making a better world of this world, you will earn the Heaven for all eternity. Joy!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 71 – We are all going to die

 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: “We are all going to die”.

My friend, everybody, everybody, all us!, we are all going to die. Yes!, one day or another, only God knows when, we are going to stop breathing; our body will stop working, and our soul, will face a personal judgment with God. Did you know it?

Be realistic!, forget those characters of science fiction that their creators present to the world as immortal. All this is a lie, it’s a fantasy! The body is not immortal, what it is immortal is the soul, your soul!, the soul of every human being.

Face reality, the reality that one day, you, like everyone else, are going to die. What will happen to you then? The most common thing is that your body will decompose, unless God wants it to remain uncorrupted, like happens with many saints; but… what about your soul? Jesus, God, said it clearly: if you living on Earth, have complied with His Law, the Law of God, the eternal Heaven awaits you; however, if you have despised His Love and His Divine Laws, what awaits you is the weeping and gnashing of teeth in eternal Hell.

My friend, you choose!, and your choice is made through your thoughts, words and deeds, during the days that you live on planet Earth. Think what you want for your Eternity, and act according to your decision.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 70 – One of two

 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: “One of two”.

My friend, believe me, there is only one of two; or you progress, or you go back.

If you don’t improve, you get worse, that’s the truth. The man, the human being, is a fighter by nature, is a lover of competition, and the day that he stops fighting, he fails.

It’s like with love; if there is no progress in the relationship, if there is no more and more love to the other person every day, it’s just a matter of time until all the love, illusion, admiration, passion and effort, crumble on the relationship, as stone walls, and squash the relationship, because nature is extremist; or is something good, or something detrimental. If you get used to improve every day, to improve yourself in every moment, that’s great!, because you will never stop, you’ll always be fighting, “progressing”. But, if you get used to your weaknesses, your sins, to not to fight against them in order to improve, you go back.

You never stay still, although it may seem to you that you stop and stay in the same place. Because although you pin your feet into the ground for four hours, although physically you’re still, your mind is working and your heart beating. During that time frame, you assimilate or reject information, you breathe… you’re glad, sadden or get furious.

My friend, life is activity, is movement! That’s why, you progress or you go back.

My friend, progress, progress full steam ahead!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 69 – Weigh the anchor!

 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: “Weigh the anchor!”.

My friend, my friend!, weigh the anchor! Don’t tie your life in the harbor of the past, of your past, nor in the past of nobody. Live!, because you have life; don’t bitter yourself, nor get depressed, because while there is life there is hope, and if you are on planet Earth, is that you live; then, live! Weigh the anchor and sail, my friend!, live!, move offshore, keep moving forward!

The experiences, yours and of others, the experienced things, sins and mistakes committed, are your navigation chart, in order that you don’t run aground nor sink, in order that you don’t fail, in order that you know what to do and what not to do when you confront the storms and the waves of high seas. Because, my friend, don’t be naive, don’t think that if you anchor, life will stop, trials and problems will cease, it’s the contrary, the “tsunami” of your worries and depression, will tear you down, and you will drown.

If you are worrying about something, even if you have not committed any sin, go to confession; confess, and Triune God will comfort and help you, through this wonderful sacrament.

My friend, live, live, weigh the anchor and live!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 68 – Abolition of slavery

 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: “Abolition of slavery”.

My friend, many are going to say you that, if your body asks you for things, you can not refuse to it, you can’t resist to your body. They lie!

My friend, the body many times limits us; the soul is stronger, much stronger than the body! Wake it up, feed it, take care of it, protect it!, because God, Jesus, He already died for you, He paid dearly for your freedom, and opened the Gates of Heaven.

My friend, two thousand years ago, Jesus, God, the Messiah, abolished slavery, abolished slavery of all humanity with evil, making it free with His precious blood poured out on the Cross.

Why do you want to remain slave of sin, when you can be free? That’s as absurd as wanting to be a prisoner of war or in a prison, when you can live in freedom.

My friend, be free, and fly high like eagles, to the very Heaven!, because God loves you, and if He is with you, for being you good and for receiving Him assiduously in the sacraments, nothing and no one, will be able to destroy you.

Fly, fly, my friend!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 67 – SOS

 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: “SOS”.

My friend, when you feel alone, when you feel you don’t have strength, when you want to shout SOS!, remember that guardian who is always at your side, this friend who, all the time, is watching over you and your good, your Guardian Angel.

Don’t abandon him, don’t forget him, because he, your Guardian Angel has the mission of accompanying you, throughout your life, towards the Good, the Love, toward God. Show yourself grateful to him, for so many favors, so many aids that gives you from God, for so many times he save you and helps you to wake up, to settle down, to be better…

My friend, don’t forget your Angel. If you still have not put a name to him, put one, which you like the most!, and every day ask him for his help, and thank him for it; be his friend, because he is your friend; and if you invoke him, he will fight for you, to get you close to God, to make you more of God.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 66 – Nutrition

 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: “Nutrition”.

My friend, everyone knows, or should know, how healthy is eating well, with natural food, that the more natural, the better. And not many knows that “One does not live by bread alone”.

-Of course not!, who could live only with bread? Moreover, considering how fattening bread is in large quantities, just imagine!

Mmm, that’s not what the phrase mean.

—Oh, no?

No. “One does not live by bread alone” means not only to feed the body, but as man is body and soul, and the body ends up dying, being one only soul up to the final judgment, also one must nourish his/her soul and mind. And even if someone is not conscious of this reality, not for that reason, he/she ceases to nourish his/her soul and mind.

—Eh? And how to do it?

Simply, in the same way as one can eat something, without knowing if it is healthy or not. To feed the body, it is done in an oral way and, in some cases, by intravenous administration; but the soul, as the mind, is nourished by the sight, by the earing, by the thoughts and desires… by everything what one, allows to himself/herself.

My friend, in order to have a good life here on earth, and go to Heaven, after our body dies, humans must feed our souls properly, with healthy and natural, and that, can only be obtained by fulfilling the Ten Commandments, established by God.

My friend, you choose your nutrition; you decide if digest junk food, or feed yourself with good and natural food that God gives us. Do the same with your mind and soul. Do you want a healthy life? Then, go for the healthy.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 65 – Time

 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: “Time”.

My friend, time it’s something mysterious. Sometimes, hours seem long and slow, and sometimes, it seems that minutes pass like shooting stars in the universe of our life.
Time, time… many say that they don’t have time for anything, or to do some things, and however, they spend a lot of minutes, which end up becoming, in vain and fruitless leisure.

—Time? I have all the time in the world. What I don’t do today, I can do it tomorrow, or even next week; now I want to disconnect and hang out.

Are not wrong those who say that time is money, because time is more valuable than gold, and we have to invest it properly, as we have to do with money.

Why time is more valuable than gold? Because even with all the riches of the world, you can buy a second of life. Your days are numbered; neither you nor anyone else, can lengthen the days, nor the years of life.

Why we have to make a good invest of our time? Because it’s not like money, that if you lose it, you can get it back. Lost time, lost is, and will never return.

My friend, don’t miss a minute. Invest all it in useful things for your mind, soul and body; for your life.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 64 – Let’s be practical

 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: “Let’s be practical”.

My friend, every wise knows that to be someone in life, it is, to make their way in the world and to triumph (which is not easy, you just have to look at those around you), one should not listen the gossip or backbiting, although our name figure in them, simply for several reasons: to criticize is a waste of energy, mood, and a total waste of time. Let’s see, my friend, how do you think that one person can be involved in gossip, and at the same time, grow as a person, as a professional?

It’s one or the other, use your energy in order to prosper, or use your energy in order to wear yourself out, destroying others and yourself, like a dastardly person.

My friend, be a noble person, be a person of character, built in good, in union with God, and you will prosper.

Come on, my friend, let’s be practical and make a better world! Are you in?

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.
