Vlog 224 – 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, be realistic, be brave and face reality. No, the excuses will not save you, if you continue like this, you will regret it, you will end up really bad… People don’t like to be deceived, they get tired of the fraudsters, of those who talk, of those who complain but don’t do anything.

Excuses, excuses, all are excuses! Don’t cry and step forward, trust God, make a change! Stop protesting and making excuses, and do something to get ahead. If you complain it’s that you’re not good, no good… My friend, don’t get bitter! If you don’t even try, it’s absurd to cry out, why? To drown in desperate depression? No!, you weren’t born for this, you don’t have life to do nothing, as if instead of a person you were an object; God has given you life so that you feel and share his immense love; you have a mission and prefer to live in depression!

Don’t complain, don’t excuse yourself, cause poor excuses are like vermin, and little by little, they are destroying you.

My friend, go to Saint Mary, the Mother of God, ask Her to help you fulfill your mission of love, as She knew very well how to do it and did it.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 223 – Scandal

 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: “Scandal!”

Woe to those who make scandal, woe to those who scandalize the little ones!, because as Jesus said in the Gospel, “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones”. My friend, be good, really, be it!, don’t scandal or make scandal, because poor you, if you do.

Just as you shouldn’t scandalize, you shouldn’t hang out together with who scandalize, birds of a feather flock together! Leave the hearsay, gossip and rumors, you have mouth to smile, pray and do good, not to offend, damage, slander or scandalize.

My friend, yes, don’t slip away, I tell you, be saint! Why are you scared about it? Don’t avoid your reality, that you were born to conquer Heaven. No, don’t make scandal, I ask you to be as Christ, you are a Christian, you are a Catholic! Show it!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 222 – Penance

 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: “Penance”.

My friend, for God to forgive you, you must repent, feel sorrow for your sins and go to confess them before a Catholic priest, so that God the Holy Spirit, comfort you, after receiving Him through the absolution of the priest. My friend, you must confess, yes, confess and want to sin no more, and of course, to do the penance that is imposed on you. Apart from that penance, it’s very good and is a token of love for God, do penance and deeds of reparation for sins. How can you do that? Offering to God anything good, whether prayer, deed, feeling, or struggle, made out with love for Him, and living in sanctifying grace.

My friend, go to confess each time you sin, go to God for forgiveness! Go quickly to the confessional, to God console and comfort you!, because his grace works wonders, and having Him in you, fills you with immense happiness.

Penance, my friend, do the penance!; do penance, do reparation for your sins and for the sins of others; do deeds of love and charity!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 221 – Firm in the Faith

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: “Firm in the faith”.

My friend, we, the Catholics, must maintain firm in the faith, since if we loosen up, if we are too tolerant, If we turn a blind eye and obey only with what interests us… what good is faith? To be witness against our deeds, for our damnation? It will only accuse us of our sins in the presence of God.

God is just, not stupid. My friend, if you don’t obey your faith, if you don’t make an effort to learn and love her… What do you think will happen? No, don’t imagine God as a foolish and good-natured, who accepts everyone and anyone in his House, in his Kingdom. You are wrong if you believe that by continuing like this, once dead, when you stand before the presence of Him, He will welcome you with open arms, letting you enter in Heaven, as though nothing. Haven’t you read the Bible? Don’t you know what happened to the lukewarm, to those who didn’t obeyed their faith, to the hypocrites, to those who made fun of God and his Law?

My friend, read the Holy Bible. You need it, you really need it.

My friend, love your faith and obey with it to the letter! Be a true Catholic and not only of name! Remember, firm in faith!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 220 – Goodness

 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: “Goodness”.

My friend, I really tell you, be good! Goodness has no price, it can not be bought, it is a virtue that, with the help of God, one must get.

My friend, yes, do good without looking to whom!; Be good always, but always and always. Do good to everyone, without exception! This is your duty, your mission!

Many complain and complain about how the world is, what people do or don’t do… No, you must not do like them, who criticize and don’t do what they want and demand that others do. My friend, You demand yourself goodness, holiness, for love of God! Resist doing good, giving love, the Love of God that should always reign in you, as you live in sanctifying grace.

Come on, be saint! Because success is for the good!; they make this world more humane, they make this world a more worthy place, a better place!, they fight so that the Earth resembles its homeland, Heaven!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 219 – What does it matter?

 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 does it matter?”.

My friend, people speak, they say a lot, and although some share the same nationality and speak the same language, when they are heard, they seem to speak different languages; each one has his ideas, his purposes, each one creates his “commandments, rules and laws”, and none of them agrees.

My friend, what is man? Is it more important, or God? Unquestionably, God, beginning of the beginning, giver of life, beginning and form, of all that exists, of the visible and invisible!, as the Creed of the Catholic Church says. So… what does it matter what men say? Many don’t even have morals or principles, many get carried away by what is in fashion, by the moment, by their desire and the good of their pocket… What does it matter what men say? What matters is what God commands and says, your Lord, your Creator, your Redeemer and Savior; no one loves you more than God, One and Triune, and no one else than He has created you, redeemed you and offers you eternal salvation.

My friend, yes, I tell you, love, obey and serve God, and let men say what they want; what matters is the word of God, his Law!, and that you save yourself, fulfilling it.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 218 – Sacraments

 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: “Sacraments”.

My friend, surely, it’s very probable that even if only in passing, you have heard mention or talk about the sacraments. What is a sacrament? Very briefly, it’s an efficacious sign of grace, which makes us partakers of the Divinity of Christ. They don’t harm, don’t do evil, they don’t harm the one who receives them, on the contrary, who receives them properly, benefits from the mercy, love and grace of God, of God! The sacraments are a marvel.

My friend, don’t mock or distrust, accept the sacraments, come to receive them, like every good Christian, as a true Catholic, because the sacraments are the greatest treasure of the Church, the greatest treasure in the world, because by the sacraments, God himself is given to us.

My friend, love and receive the sacraments.

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 217 – Who loves?

 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 loves?”

My friend, yes, who loves? Love is for the brave, it’s a matter of fighters, of honest, spiritual people, people of faith and morals, because love comes from God, since God is Love. Hatred, the opposite and contrary to love, is for the weak, the cowardly, the vile, the foolish, those who reject the love of God, One and Triune.

What do you do?, do you love or hate?, are you a fighter or a deserter?

My friend, If you really want to love, you must first open your heart to God, because until you feel and experience the fire of LOVE, the fire of God, which burns but doesn’t consume, you will not really love, because who really loves, loves with God and for God.

My friend, take a chance, love!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 216 – Free 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: “Free heart”.

How many sad hearts, how many manipulated hearts, how many shattered, how many corrupt and enslaved.

My friend, God made you with a free heart, to love Him, to beat happy with each good deed you do, and not to be chained to vice, to the common, to the despicable, to sin. A free heart, doesn’t hate, doesn’t envy, doesn’t have desire for vengeance… My friend, release it!, Let God heal and restore it!, you must do an examination of conscience and go to confession; go back home, start over!

May your heart be full of love, of God’s Love. May your heart be free from ties, from fears, torments, sufferings…

My friend, you deserve a free heart, you need a clean heart to love and be loved, to be saint!

My friend, thank you.

And always go ahead with faith.

Vlog 215 – The recipe

  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 recipe”.

My friend, to be happy —yes, I know that you are interested in happiness, that’s why today I come to talk about it—, you need some ingredients. The recipe is as follows, take note:

. a liter of FAITH

. three cups of HOPE

. three cups of CHARITY

. a cup of HUMILITY

. and a good dose of PATIENCE

Because faith moves mountains, and is the mother of many other virtues. Hope, helps us to trust and believe in God, his promises and mysteries. Charity makes us true disciples of Christ, and witnesses of our faith. Humility makes us accept reality and go to God, it leads us to receive the sacraments. Love fills our hearts with joy and gives us the strength to cope with everything. Optimism, makes us not get depressed or devastated. Joy enlightens our days and makes our burdens more bearable, and patience, must be present because, encourages us to resist and try again.

My friend, follow the recipe to the letter, and happiness, oh, joy!, will be in your heart.

My friend, thank you.
