May 10, 7:37 PM
VisitationSiste: In His humanity his obedience shows more because as the Second person of the Trinity the union is so “one” that it would not be visible
May 10, 7:38 PM
VisitationSiste: We can imitate Jesus in his humanity
May 10, 7:38 PM
Carol Ann: In his perfect obedience He went to the Cross forvus. Staggering
May 10, 7:38 PM
VisitationSiste: and ask for His help and grace

VisitationSiste: Why is obedience more difficult with regard to interior things than exterior things? (Call to mind how Jesus equated anger with murder, cf. Matthew 5:22)
May 10, 7:47 PM
Carol Ann: Emotions and feelings are harder to control
May 10, 7:49 PM
VisitationSiste: also our will is involved too and most people have strong ones
May 10, 7:49 PM
Carol Ann: And we are taught to pride ourselves on being strong willed
May 10, 7:50 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): sometime we is hard to control our anger and almost want to curse people and want think some evil and listen to satan idea and kill people. is best way is to say rosary and read bible and pray to jesus help us get way from the evil one and guide us not in to satan tempertation that that will help us not to have hate and kill.that is why jesus always teach this prayer to us that is important
May 10, 7:51 PM
VisitationSiste: Yes, stay close to Jesus and Mary!
May 10, 7:52 PM
Carol Ann: As He reminds us in today’s Gospel, He is the onlybway
May 10, 7:52 PM
VisitationSiste: The problem is we can be seen as obedient externally and actually be so without internally actually being so In other words follow orders resentfully
May 10, 7:53 PM
VisitationSiste: Our spirit actions, will etc must converge for full obedience
May 10, 7:53 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): just obey jesus his ten comndments. sometime is hard to do but we trust jesus we can do it.
May 10, 7:55 PM
Carol Ann: We are like the two sons. One said yes but didn’t obey. One said no butvrepented and then obeyed
May 10, 7:55 PM
VisitationSiste: good example
May 10, 7:55 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): when I go to preach the gaspel of jesus that is happend in kansas.those things happened when I was little girl.’
May 10, 7:56 PM
VisitationSiste: What’s the distinction between emotional love and reasonable love? Are they mutually exclusive?
May 10, 7:58 PM
Carol Ann: Emotional love is fleeting and can come and go. Reasonable love is a deliberate act of the will
May 10, 7:58 PM
VisitationSiste: Great definition
May 10, 7:58 PM
Carol Ann: It is time to go to formation. Happy Mothers Day and God Bless You!

May 10, 8:00 PM
Ruth (Guest): Rereading Matt 5:22. Re-read this.
Lots of technical problems on the other broadcast. Will probably work better as a re-play.
May 10, 8:01 PM
VisitationSiste: I am not sure what you mean Ruth
May 10, 8:01 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): jesus show his love for us so dont stop just preach the gaspel of action to help the world to trust jesus. Amen
May 10, 8:02 PM
Ruth (Guest): Jesus, in his humanity, probably only gradually came to know who he is; like us in all things but sin he had to LEARN obedience.
May 10, 8:03 PM
VisitationSiste: He grew in wisdom and grace yes
May 10, 8:03 PM
Ruth (Guest): Sister, I was shifting back and forth between two sites; now I am with this one alone. And it is working OK.
May 10, 8:04 PM
VisitationSiste: Obedience in His Divinity was perfect
May 10, 8:05 PM
VisitationSiste: I can’t imagine even the child Jesus being disobedient though when some saints like St Margaret Mary felt sin so deeply even asa child
May 10, 8:05 PM
Ruth (Guest): Yes. But in the Garden He cried out to be spared of the cross, IF the Father willed. We would avoid it too if possible.
May 10, 8:05 PM
VisitationSiste: Maybe it is a growth in degree of grace, intensity of grace?
May 10, 8:06 PM
VisitationSiste: He was expressing His independent feelings in the Garden but obeyed fully
May 10, 8:06 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): sisters you ask me those questions I was looking the bible and find out the answer and what I think about jesus and how I getting to know his love so I have to tell you when I was little child in taiwan I was very illed and sick near death mom took me to the church name call rosary catholic church and father chao help me to be baptized and I got healed and all my sick and illed is gone and jesus bring me back to live. just he bring lazerus back in to life from death.
May 10, 8:06 PM
VisitationSiste: That was a great grace Betty
May 10, 8:07 PM
Ruth (Guest): What about when his Mon and Foster father had to go looking for him. Not directly disobeying them, but he followed the inner urge to be among the teachers in His Father’s House — and sure gave his Mom a scare!
May 10, 8:08 PM
VisitationSiste: Good example
May 10, 8:09 PM
VisitationSiste: How can we learn to be more obedient to the will of our Heavenly Father?
May 10, 8:09 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): sister may I tell you a truth, when my chest pain very painful like heart attack and mom got deep blood pressure high and we bove got sick and illed and I pray to jesus come help us put you hands to our head so we got healed and jesus healed us in my prayers all our sick is gone .thanks the lord Amen
May 10, 8:10 PM
Ruth (Guest): LISTENING prayer. Reading scripture. Taking care of our bodies sufficiently to be able to DO what we are called to do.
May 10, 8:11 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): Hi ruth how are you?how is you health?
May 10, 8:12 PM
VisitationSiste: Practicing what we think God is saying to us rather than ignoring it or doubting
May 10, 8:12 PM
Ruth (Guest): Hi Betty. Glad you were healed, and your Mom, too.
May 10, 8:13 PM
Ruth (Guest): I’ve done a little experiment. Blood pressure has so much to do with what we think and feel. If I just imagine Jesus coming to me, it lowers my high blood pressure often 10-20 mgHg in seconds.
May 10, 8:14 PM
VisitationSiste: Beautiful!
May 10, 8:14 PM
Ruth (Guest): mmHg that is.
May 10, 8:15 PM
VisitationSiste: On a practical level, what can we do to ward off vain thoughts of desiring a di
desiring a different spouse, boss, workers, neighbors, etc.?
May 10, 8:17 PM
Ruth (Guest): Spouse: recommit to marriage covenant. Boss: depends, MAYBE one will need to find a different boss, if the one one has is doing harm. Neighbors? That’s a good one for me. Keep on praying for them, AND find friends a little further away if need be.
May 10, 8:18 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): forgiveness is the great act of freedom.this is means that anything can be forgiven.but nobody can be campelled to forgive .but forgiveness can not be forced and it is outcome cannot predicted.the woman who forgive her husband for busing her can decide, even as she forgive him.that they should not go living together.but God alone can judge the autheniticity scope pf an act of all acts.because reconized that something more then automatism rules the world.forgive is the act that is allowed us to be creators,L
May 10, 8:19 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): like God the act that allowed us to started once over again seventy seven time see bible st matthew gaspel 18;22
May 10, 8:20 PM
VisitationSiste: Good thoughts!!
May 10, 8:21 PM
Ruth (Guest): Also, the old American Indian saying helps: Walk a mile in someone else’s moccasins before making any judgement.
May 10, 8:22 PM
VisitationSiste: Judgment is one of the hardest things for people to avoid
May 10, 8:22 PM
Ruth (Guest): That sometimes makes forgiveness a little easier.
May 10, 8:24 PM
Ruth (Guest): Judgement is something one sometimes needs to do. How could, for example, a priest know whether or not he can give absolution. How could a doctor give appropriate “weight” to symptoms, if he does not judge. And how could a judge in a court decide anything at all if he does not judge?
May 10, 8:24 PM
VisitationSiste: I guess because it is Mother’s Day many did not come to chat tonight
May 10, 8:24 PM
VisitationSiste: I am thinking of Dawn
May 10, 8:24 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): visitation sister when I go to see the indian dance program because I want to learn the indian dance but some indian dance treated me nice and paytient some of the indian dance teacher treated me as dirt and rude and they just curse me and call me bad names.but I pray to jesus and forgive them and say jesus you die for me on the cross for my sins I want to learn from you to forgive the people who rude to me .just like you forgive us our sins make you die for us.
May 10, 8:24 PM
VisitationSiste: I always look at it as evaluation of a situation vs judgment of a person with a conclusion
May 10, 8:25 PM
VisitationSiste: Something like that
May 10, 8:25 PM
VisitationSiste: You have the right approach
May 10, 8:25 PM
Ruth (Guest): Dawn has some problems just now, PHONE for one, and struggling with the difficulties of not being able to receive Sacraments. . . The latter tears me up, too.
May 10, 8:25 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): mom say death we not fraid of death but we most fraid that we get God judgment after death.
May 10, 8:26 PM
VisitationSiste: I am going to leave now but hopefully next week we can continue with Spiritua; Conferences Have a blessed night!
May 10, 8:26 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): sisters please pray for me and mom
May 10, 8:26 PM
VisitationSiste: Thanks Ruth- it is hard for all of us but we have one advantage right now, we still have the Blessed Sacrament
May 10, 8:26 PM
VisitationSiste: I continue prayers for all!
May 10, 8:27 PM
Guest9007 (Guest): oh I love the blessed sacrament the blessed sacrement that can help us go to jesus and God in commuion. that is why I love this holy rules
May 10, 8:29 PM
Ruth (Guest): Thank you Sister. A friend from Germany called last Friday; they were able to go to Mass for the first time since the pandemic restrictions. Some of Dawn’s sons are nearby, but she does not have the grandkids with her, and that has been very, very hard, too.
May 10, 8:31 PM
Ruth (Guest): Jesus knew — when he gave us the Blessed Sacrament — that we NEED his bodily presence — Body and Blood — to LIVE as human beings. He did not do that for the angels, but for US.
May 10, 8:31 PM
Ruth (Guest): Good night Betty. Keep on growing in the love of the Lord.
