Vlog 33 – Lifestyle

 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: “Lifestyle”.

My friend, have you ever wondered, what is faith?

To have faith means to believe.

—“The faith it’s only that? Then the whole world has faith. I myself have faith in the humanity.”

The faith isn’t only to believe, the faith leads you to do works of faith; because the faith is alive, it’s necessary to live it, and not only feel it… If works of faith are not done, which is had, is a dead faith.

The faith is a God’s gift, a gift of the Holy Spirit.

My friend, lives your faith and fulfill with it! Do not take it out of the wardrobe only for going to Mass, or to ask God to help you in your difficulties. The faith is a lifestyle, because of it, it’s necessary to live through it, and not to bring it for a walk occasionally, or to exhibit it publicly in order to seem that you are good.

My friend, if you don’t have faith, ask it to the Holy Spirit, insist Him in order that He gives you this faith that you don’t have, and you want to have. And do works of faith while you wait for His gift.

My friend, that the faith accompanies you, that the faith be your lifestyle!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 32 – No

 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: “No”.

My friend, there are those who are going to incite you to do things, bad things, camouflaging them with the phrases:

—“No harm trying; if you don’t like it, then you don’t do it any more… You have to try it, and this way you will dispel the doubts”.

Neither those persons who provoke you will be absent, those who say you:

—”Are you afraid? Are you a coward? It’s because they don’t allow you…?”

My friend, you have to know that it belongs to complete men and women, to say “no”. Precisely, the cowards, for fear, get frightened, and their moral, ethic and convictions are left behind, and they try everything what they propose.

The confident persons are not cowards, not fearful, they simply know that what they do is the correct thing, because of it, they don’t do the wrong thing.

My friend, be a confident person and learn to say “no”.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 31 – What’s wrong with it?

 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: “What’s wrong with it?”.

My friend, approach me and tell me… What’s wrong with being good?

To be good doesn’t take you the freedom, on the contrary, if you are good, you demonstrate the great magnitude of your freedom, on having done freely the good.

To be good doesn’t take you the happiness, on the contrary, if you are good, not only you have the happiness of doing the good, but in addition you obtain the peace of having a calm conscience.

To be good doesn’t take you the health, on the contrary, if you are good, is that you comply with the God’s law and the natural law, which is connected to God’s law, and because of it, you save yourself from many physical and mental diseases.

To be good doesn’t take you the love, on the contrary, if you are good, the one who loves you, does it really, from his/her heart.

Love, health, freedom and happiness, what do you lose by being good, if you win everything?

My friend, tell me… What’s wrong with being good?

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 30 – Start the engine!

 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: “Start the engine!”.

My friend, God has given you the common sense in order that you use it, use it!, don’t allow that it get lost under a layer of powder and spider’s webs.

Don’t be lazy to reason, don’t be afraid to think; you are free!, free to use properly your intelligence. Develop your judgment, and opine. Study in depth into the truth of the life, of what surrounds you, of what affects you.

Find out, and opine, come on, that is free! Do not remain with the incoherencies that you listen, that you see, or somebody tells you. Start the engine, my friend!, and discover the truth, because the truth will make you free.

My friend, my friend… Start the engine! What are you waiting for? Start the engine!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 29 – “Instructions Manual”

 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: “Instructions Manual”.

My friend, believe me, there’s nothing like have a good conscience, for doing the things well, correctly.

—Correctly? How do you know that you do the correct thing?

My friend, God created the world, also the persons, you… and He, better than anybody, knows what it’s necessary to do, in order that everything be good, in order that everything is OK. For this reason, He gave to us His law, the Ten Commandments, in order to, complying with the Ten Commandments, let’s be happy in the Earth, and finally in the Heaven.

My friend, don’t look after number one, go to God, because of Him and with Him, you are going to be happy.

When you buy a new product, you read its instructions manual and follow it strictly, if you want that the product or the machine works correctly, right? The same thing you have to do with the “Manual of instructions” that God has left us, if you want that your life works.

Why to ignore His rules, if He knows how the world works, the person? Why not give a vote of confidence to God, Who created you and loves you?

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 28 – A better world

 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: “A better world”.

My friend, the humans, sometimes, many times, we complicate our life. Without understanding on a topic and without inform ourselves on the subject, we do the things to our way, and then, it’s when we put everything upside down; our works, desires and words have repercussions on our life, on the life of others… on the whole world! The bad thing is when it has a negative impact.

It’s true that the life is in itself an enduring test, and that because of ourselves, because of second, or third persons, we have to live through moments, situations and circumstances that I don’t wish on anyone, but even after that, in the earth we suffer yes or yes, if not we would be in Heaven, in Paradise.

If you want a better world, contribute to that; the key is very easy: to fulfill with the will of God, which it’s written in God’s Law.

My friend, let’s get involved in doing a better world; hey! There is no point wishing it only, is necessary to get down to work. Come on, my friend, cheer up! Do you get on board in the same boat as I? Hallelujah!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 27 – Count to three

 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: “Count to three”.

My friend, If you have had a bad day, if they have criticized you or scolded you, if the things have not gone out so well as you were waiting, if you are disillusioned… before exploiting, close the eyes, take a deep breath and count to three.

Think before do or say anything, although you are probably very tired; pour your heart out to God, comment to Him what has happened, your sorrows and sufferings, but don’t vent your frustration on the persons who love you, as you would not like, that they do it on you.

Don’t rush, count to three in order to calm down your inner storm.

If you have to take decisions, if you are confused, close the eyes, take a deep breath and count to three. Pray and keep the control of the situation. Remember that you are not alone, that God is by your side.

Don’t run!, lest you regret about your impetuosity.

Doesn’t harm to anyone, to ponder the things before acting.

My friend, whenever you need it, count to three.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 26 – Desires of the heart

 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: “Desires of the heart”.

My friend, it’s possible that you have never knelt down for asking something to God, or that you have never dared to mention His name and to ask Him for help, but today I say to you, I say to you!, that every wish that you have in your heart, it is listened by Him, by God. If your desire is good, it is directed for God, and if it is bad, is directed for Satan, because God is the Supreme KINDNESS, and He only does the GOOD, because of it, He is PERFECT.

Praying is much simpler than it seems. To pray to God, it’s to speak with Him. Do not be afraid to consult Him all your plans; that God be your best friend; He, Who has demonstrated His great love for you, until His died on the Cross, being innocent, loading your sins and the sins of the whole of humanity on His backs.  

My friend, that the desires of your heart be pure. Have a heart of a child, and be happy, because as Jesus says in the Gospel:

Mathew 15, 18-20  

18 “The things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile. 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy. 20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile”.

Be always good, receive the sacraments assiduously; confess and take communion, and ask God to help you, console and encourage you, every day of your life. God hopes that you ask Him, He wants that you confide in Him, because He has created you, He loves and knows you more and better than anyone.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 25 – The best thing

 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 best thing”.

My friend, everything one desires to do, say or think, it’s good?

—I only know that I do whatever I want.

When a small child wants to put his fingers in the holes of a socket, he wants to do what he please in that moment, but is it the best?

My friend, when one loves, desires the best for his loved ones, but if one just wants to do whatever he wants in that moment, without thinking what is the best for him and for the others, does he love himself?

Think about it.

My friend, I desire the best for you, that you love yourself, and that for this reason, you do the best, and not whatever you’re able to do spontaneously, in order to demonstrate your freedom. 

Does not give the happiness, to do whatever one wants, maybe it brings pleasure or momentary euphoria, only that, but, to do always the best, that is: the good thing and the correct thing, brings you the true happiness.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 24 – You shall love your neighbor as yourself

 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: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”.

My friend, when someone loves, waits, wishes that the beloved person is well, that is happy… wishes to be with her. Right? It’s wonderful to share moments, details, smiles with the persons that we love, reciprocally!

But… What happens when we face the reality, and we realize that there are persons who don’t correspond to our love, and not only that, but they want us evil, do they do the evil to us? Can we do what Jesus asks us, God, in the Gospel: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”?

Yes, we can, but always, and as in everything, only with the God’s help, because only He is PERFECT.

In the Gospel, Jesus, God made man, asks us and teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, because as He asks us to love to our enemies, He also asks us to separate us of them, and to pray for them. Why? Because God is not masochistic, for this reason He asks us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, and not that we allow ourselves to be “mistreated”. God loves all the people, all the people!, and God wants the salvation of His “lost sheep”, as He wants your salvation.

To love our neighbours, it’s to pray for them and to wish them the greater happiness of the world, which is to live eternally in the Heaven after their death, in order to share, in the God’s Kingdom, these moments, details and smiles, which you could not have shared before, because of his wrongdoing in the earth.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.
