Vlog 255 – The media

 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 media”.

My friend, there are those who defend that no matter how things are done, that the important thing is the result. No, my friend, not at all, the end doesn’t justify the means; the ten commandments exist for each and every one of us, so that by keeping them, we will be happy here on earth and in the Eternal Heaven.

The things that are done wrong, go wrong, and those things that are well done, keeping the commandments for love of God, and carrying them out in sanctifying grace, by not forgetting the sacraments, those are the things that go well. Learn this reality and don’t expect the lemon tree to bear apples.

There are good ways to reach a good end, of course! One of them, the main and most powerful, is the prayer. My friend, start by praying, ask God to reach that good end, using good means, and you will see how God helps you to get it.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 254 – It’s not what it seems

 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: “It’s not what it seems”.

My friend, so many times things are not what they seem, nor are people as you think. There are those who talk a lot, but don’t say anything vital, and there are also those who are very busy, but at the moment of truth, they are not doing anything important.

My friend, time is wasted so much, surprisingly, so many times, the time is invested in banalities and leisures that keep one busy and sinning… It’s a lie that someone is doing nothing, is a way of saying; nobody is never literally doing nothing, because the person who is not doing anything, is already doing something, which is lazing around.

There are many ways to waste time and Heaven, and all of them are done by sinning. My friend, be good, be one hundred percent good, be saint! Imitate Jesus, God Himself; work, pray… do everything in communion with God, by living in sanctifying grace, and don’t waste time, because the time you have, God has given to you so you may live doing good.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 253 – With all your 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: “With all your heart”.

There are people who say and assure with their lips, that they forgive, but they lie, because their hearts are full of resentment, anger, revenge or hate, or everything at the same time.

My friend, for your sake, for your happiness, forgive, always forgive and with all your heart, even if they don’t ask for forgiveness, or if they ask for it; you always forgive everyone, ALWAYS, also forgive yourself. Never deny your forgiveness to anyone, to ANYONE!, because to truly forgive and because of love to God, it’s the best thing you can do, because to really forgive; heals and liberates you, and your heart needs to be free in order to love and be happy.

My friend, friend, yes, forgive, FORGIVE!, with all your heart; forgive and love, with all your heart; love and forgive, be good for God, be good living in the grace of God; may God reign in your heart.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 252 – Confession

 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: “Confession”.

My friend, as you know, we are all imperfect, no human being is free from sin, with the exception of Jesus, God made man, and the Virgin Mary; therefore, everyone must go to confess to reconcile with God, and I assure you that it’s not enough to do it only once a year.

I remind you that there are not only mortal sins; those that when committed, one stops living in the grace of God, condemning himself to Hell. There are also venial sins; those of thought, word, deed and omission, for which so many, when they die, having not done penance or atonement for them, they must spend years in Purgatory. It’s a lie that you should not confess, because the soul, like the body, gets dirty, because we are not perfect, although we must fight to be perfect. How?, asking it to God in daily and constant prayer, getting rid of our vices and defects, while strengthening and gaining virtues, with our deeds of faith and charity, while fulfilling the commandments and receiving the sacraments.

Come on my friend, you need a spiritual cleansing; examine your conscience well and go to confession, and then go to receive Communion; do it and then you will be able to really smile. God loves you.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 251 – Sickly dependency

 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: “Sickly dependency”.

My friend, to depend on what others think, on what they will say and think… that’s almost a disease. It’s not good to depend on the opinions of others, abou doing or stop doing, as dictated by the fashion imposed by one or more people.

There’s no accounting for taste, and the same happens with personal and social opinions. God has created us all, unique, different and free, giving each of us a conscience so that, by educating it, we can analyze and discern for ourselves. You have life, and you and not others, will be the one who will take responsibility for it, for your life, for how you have lived it, taking advantage of it, or wasting it.

I want two things to be clear to you.
First thing: not everyone has the same opinion as you, so if you get frustrated because you want to make everyone happy, forget it, you are fooling yourself.

Second thing: what you can and should do is to be happy: serving, loving and obeying God, by complying with His laws, written by His own finger, on the tables of Moses.

My friend, stop depending on others, be free and don’t limit yourself.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 250 – Doing good

 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: “Doing good”.

Everyone can do good deeds, but these deeds have no merit before God if people have not done them for love of Him, Who is the Love, God. Good deeds have no merit, if you have not done them with God, and that happens whenever one does good deeds without offering them to the Lord and without living in sanctifying grace, you know, without living in God’s grace, by not being baptized, or by being baptized but having lost His grace by committing a mortal sin of which hasn’t been confessed. By simply doing good deeds, no one earns Heaven, only those who do good for the love of God go to Heaven, living in sanctifying grace; only those, who love God above all things and all people, go to Heaven.

Good deeds do good to those who receive them, but only the simple good works, by itself, don’t open the doors of the Heavenly Kingdom to those who do them, unless they are done without being in mortal sin, that is, living in the grace of God, and, of course, offering them and carrying them out, for the love of God.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 249 – Sad sadness

 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: “Sad sadness”.

My friend, how sad is the sadness that the wounded soul and heart feel. My poor friend…

Go to God, to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, exposed, or in the Tabernacle. Kneel in front of Him and cry, cry while you pray, cry as much as you want and need; tell Him your sorrows, those problems, worries and sadnesses that afflict you, distress you and drown you; pour your heart out before God, He is the Love!, because if you go to Him, your wounds will heal. You need His love, you need God! Confess and receive His forgiveness and His comfort, and feel His love by receiving Him in the Eucharist. Take communion, my friend, take communion!, because in the Bread of Communion, there is God, your Lord and Creator, and it’s for you, that He hides in the Bread, in order that you may receive Him, One and Triune God, in the body and soul of Jesus, God the Son, and thus enter inside you and embrace you, filling you with His great love.

Jesus is really there, what are you waiting for to go?

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 248 – How much?

 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: “How much?”

My friend, my friend, today I come to ask you… Do you love God? How much do you love Love? Don’t just tell Him, show it to Him with your deeds! Do you keep the ten commandments, each and every one of them? Do you respect the sacraments, do you receive them regularly?

A person never love God enough, you never love Him too much; how much do you love God, the Love, Who created everything, Who gave everything for you? He even died on the Cross for you; Jesus, God the Son, gave His life for you. And you, what do you do for Him, what do you give to God? Do you love Him with all your heart, with all your soul and all your strength? Do you love Him above all THINGS and PERSONS, as mandated by the first commandment of His Law? My friend, it’s time for you to reciprocate, to pay His love with your love and faithful obedience.

Come on, go to the confessional, and confess your sins; and receive communion, starting again, with will, with love and humility.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 247 – Fears

 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: “Fears”.

My friend, take away the fears that make you act improperly, throw the fears that paralyze you, move away from you the worry of “what will they say”, “what will they think”… Fear stops you and doesn’t let you do what you should do, imitate Christ, God Himself, in everything. Don’t care about people and do the will of God, which is to be perfect, as He is perfect. Stop being a puppet of humans and decide to be free; live the Truth, walking alongside Jesus and His Holy Mother, the sweet Mary, the precious Mary! Ask her for strength, protection and comfort, and feel how your heart fills with her motherly kisses.

Don’t you dare? Do you say you see everything black? Be brave!, be a person of faith! because Jesus, God, died and rose; feel the Christian Peace and joy in your heart!

Go to Mary, because she, brave and pure woman, of enviable faith and temperament, she wanted, she said “yes” to God and she fulfill her mission. You can too, champion!; if you go with her, if you carry Mary in your heart, you will get it.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 246 – Inner war

 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: “Inner war”.

My friend, do you want to live in peace? Do you want to know peace? Do you want to feel peace? Then, declare war against yoourself, make war against yourself, battle every day against your inclination and tendency to evil, against concupiscence.

Fight!, fight without truce, say no to sin and to Satan, reject all temptation, and protect yourself with the sacraments and the prayer! That is your mission.

If you don’t make war against yourself, against your weakness and tendency to sin, you will not taste the inner Peace, that peace that only gives God, and that you can feel, only, if you live according to His standards, fulfilling His Laws, the ten Commandments.

Do it and you will have Peace, you will know and feel Peace, because of your inner struggle, because of the war that you have declared and keep against sin.

War, my friend! Fight and you will gain victory; PEACE!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.
