Vlog 63 – The strength is within oneself

 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 strength is within oneself”.

Yes, my friend, the strength is within oneself, when oneself have will, and by his/her will, he/she searches God, and joining Him through the sacraments, faith and prayer, it awakes in him/her the power of God the Holy Spirit, that strength of heroes, of the saints!
Some people join a club or group, because they don’t know how to go alone, they don’t know how to choose nor decide, and they put their life in the hands of another or others, in order that they decide for them. They are left in the hands of flesh and blood people, as them, with faults, instead of going directly to God Almighty.

My friend, the strength is within yourself, God put it there, inside of you, in order to be able, like everyone else, to embrace your cross, and to carry it, in order to arrive triumphant to the eternal Heaven.

My friend, wake up that force, with the grace of God!; study, delve into the Catholic faith, which is the faith of the true Church, which keeps the truth of Christ, God!

Partner with the best of the best, with the Supreme Good!, with the Love.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 62 – Why to confess?

 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: “Why to confess?”.

My friend, my friend, come here, don’t hide, let’s talk clear you and I. What do you have against confession; why do you reject this extremely important sacrament? Oh, are you scared, embarrassed to go to confess? Doesn’t that mean that you’re aware that you’ve misbehaved? Oh, well, you say you’re afraid that the priest spill the beans about your sins.

My friend, the good priests aren’t to gossip nor pry into the life and sins of anybody; the good priests, the holy priests, they cling to their vocation, and they live to give to us, God Himself in the sacraments; they get up every morning to serve others, imitating Jesus, God, in everything. My friend, believe me, the good priests are too busy to murmur about you and others. Moreover, it is not necessary to be a priest to know the sins of others, because as Jesus said, “by their fruits you will know them”. My friend, your deeds speak for themselves. If you fear that the priest can tell your sins, you should be trembling with fear for what the people around you, the people who know you, can, or even, are saying about you.

My friend, is a very bad excuse to say that the priest will spill the beans, I say you that it’s smart to go to confession whenever one sins. Because when one receives the sacrament of Penance, God the Holy Spirit not only forgives us, but comforts us, and with the help of His Grace, we can be better and face the trials of life.

My friend, make a good examination of conscience and go to confess with a good priest, that they are, and this way, finally become reconciled with God, who waits, longs for you to return to live in His sanctifying grace.

My friend, go, go to confess!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 61 – When things are not done well

 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: “When things are not done well”.

My friend, if you want things go well, do them well, perfect!, as God commands, because truly I say to you, that if things aren’t done well, things go wrong; and then come one’s cryings and lamentations, while one wonders: “Why it hasn’t worked? Why do these things happen to me? I’m a failure, everything is going wrong!”

This is applied in all the aspects of the life; in the personal life, familiar life, in the courtship, the marriage, in the professional and labor area…

Look, how do you think things are going to go well, if you do them wrong? It’s like to do a mathematical operation with a method and calculation erroneous.

My friend, do you do the things good? Is God the center of your life? Do you comply with the Ten Commandments?

Come on, my friend, get up and go to confess your sins to a Catholic priest, so that God forgives you, and lives again in you, and this way, doing the things well, they will go well.

Come on!, count on the best, partner with the greatest and the most perfect, with Almighty God, and things will go well for you, by doing them well. Amen.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 60 – Self-control

 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: “Self-control”.

My friend, improve yourself! Be smart, that your mind guides your body, and not inversely. Have the total control of yourself!

The body is carried away by instincts and impulses, and the mind by reasonings.

My friend, you won’t be successful if you don’t know yourself, analyze yourself and work on yourself; if you don’t order yourself and obey yourself with the head, you will be ordered by the impulses and instincts of your body, and everyone who obeys his/her own body, fails, because he/she is weak.

If one doesn’t use the reasoning, what do you think is the difference between his/her behavior and the behavior of the animals? For some reason, humans are called rational animals, isn’t it? Because, unlike animals, which are only animated beings, people can reason.

My friend, reason! Do you want to win and to succeed? Then have the control, your self-control.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 59 – Warrior

 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: “Warrior”.

My friend, every day of your life, you must be armed with courage, be strong, and fight against adversity, if you don’t want to contribute to the evil, to become part of the team of Satan, because every day, good and evil go fight in open field. Like everyone else, you’re a soldier, a warrior!, that while living on planet Earth, fights against one of the two sides, the good or the evil.

My friend, fight for peace, for the good, for the love, for God!; and at the end, winning the battle to which every human being is confronted by living on earth, you will have won the Eternal Heaven.

Win, with the grace of God and out of love for Him, all the trials that presented to you every day.

My friend, assiduously receive the sacraments, revest yourself with the virtues and arm yourself with faith and prayer; and always keep your eyes on your standard bearer, in resurrected Christ and in Virgin Mary, Mother of Fairest Love.

My friend, fight, fight, fight in the winner team, for the good, for God!

My friend, yes!, go to fight, to triumph, for Christ the King!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 58 – We reap what we have sown

 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 reap what we have sown”.

My friend, God is infinite love and goodness, because He is Love, and as God who is, even analyzed from our human smallness, we realize that God did all and does all good, perfect!, for being He perfect, if not, He would not be God.

My friend, don’t be confused. When one behaves badly, when one sins against some of the Ten Commandments, the life, the nature that is wise, for being created by God, it follows its rules, and then the life returns the sown to him/her. Many people, when they face the logical and natural consequences of their acts, thoughts and words, they protest saying that God is bad, that He makes bad things happen in the world.

My friend, my friend, God does not judge us until we die and we stand before Him, and apart from that, we are more that warned with His Ten Commandments. If we want to inherit His Eternal Heaven, we must obey each and every of His commandments; when we sin, we are immediately going to confess, with the contrite heart, in order to start over again, and in addition, if we obey the commandments of His Law, we will not only inherit His Kingdom, but already here on earth, we are the happiest we can be, in this valley of tears.

My friend, be good and wise, obey God’s Commandments, if you want to be happy today and in Eternity, being clean with the life, due to not having to asking you to account.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 57 – Listen before speaking

 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: “Listen before speaking”.

My friend, don’t make the mistake of speaking before listening. Many fights and discussions begins after it, due to talk, pre-empting others, interrupting him/her, and that, more than a dialogue, it’s an attack.

When one talks to you, often, more than an answer, what he/she expects it’s just to be listened, and by listening to him/her, the other one, by the very fact of telling you it, he/she can see his/her problem, his/her case, from another perspective, by the very fact of listening him/her, because the human being is social, and has the need to communicate, to tell his/her things to someone who is not himself/herself.

My friend, listen, and set always a good example and give always good advices; if they come to you, exposing a problem, a situation, it is that they are interested in your opinion, they need your help. If this happens and they refer you a matter and you’re not clear about it, don’t be hasty in giving advices, give time to time!, say to your friend that you will think it well, that you will lead it to prayer, and that once you are clear about it, under the God’s laws, the civil laws and the common sense, you will give him/her a good answer.

At all times and moment, be an instrument of God, of kindness and love.

My friend, listen, pray, and then give your good advice.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 56 – Who are you?

 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: “Who are you?”.

My friend, who are you?

—My name is Susana, and I’m not your friend.

You have not answered my question; I have asked “who are you”, not “what’s your name”.

—Ah, well, I’m a normal and ordinary girl who lives on planet earth…

Ok, but you continue without having answered to my question. I want you to say me “who you are” and not “what you are and what you do”.

—Your question it’s annoying. What do you mean who am I!? It’s me, Susana!, daughter of Manuel the mechanic and Rose the florist, the whole world knows it.

My friend, yes, you are a child of your parents, but above all you are child of God, child of the King of Heaven and Earth, child of the Creator, of the Lord of all that is visible and invisible, child of Triune God! Do the others already see in your deeds and words, in your way of life, that you are a child of the Heavenly Father?

My friend, are you a good child of God? My friend, who are you?

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 55 – Jesus, help me!

 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: “Jesus, help me!”.

My friend, my friend, come here, don’t flee! I know that you are going through complicated moments, that you are going through situations and circumstances that you would never want to know personally.

My friend, I know that you are sad, because the things are not going as you expected, as you were longing, and you feel a failure.

My friend, don’t hide!, I know that you are gloomy, depressive, that the life, the persons, are damaging you, without wanting your it.

My friend, my friend!, don’t run, I know that you are opening the eyes to the reality, by which the whole world is free, and that the freedom of everyone affects your life, as your freedom affects the life of others.

My friend, don’t be afraid, don’t suffer alone! Join Jesus, call Him with your heart: “Jesus, help me!”

At any time of the day, for whatever you have to live, and for any trial that you have to pass or face, look for His help, the help of The Biggest, of your best Friend, of God!, saying only these brief words “Jesus, help me!”; and don’t doubt it, He, Jesus, God Himself!, will rush to help you.

My friend, remember… “Jesus, help me!”

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 54 – Blessed words!

 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: “Blessed words!”.

My friend, blessed are the good words, correctly used!

Many people only speak about the good effect and the power of the heartfelt smiles, but few ones speak about the words.

My friend, you, as every human being, you are body and soul, and everything, both positive and negative, affects you, not only the physical things, but also the non-physical things, as the words and the desires of the heart. The words are not only used verbally, but also mentally, becoming into the thoughts and desires of one.

Blessed the good words!, that have, as the bad ones, no matter how brief they are, the power to change destinies, persons, villages and nations.

My friend, let’s make good use of the words, everybody!, always!, when we speak, think and wish.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.
