.Each of us is a participant in a wonderful spiritual journey that leads us to greater intimacy with God.

The signs of God's presence are diverse and are reflected in our daily experiences, relationships and choices. In this video, we will present three selected signs of God's presence in our lives and that we are led by God. Together we will discover these signs of God's guidance so that our path becomes ever clearer and our relationship with God ever stronger.
Deeply rooted in our desire to be accepted, approved and loved by others is the desire to be accepted by the world. However, paradoxically, one of the strong signs that we are on the right path may be rejection by the world. This is a sign that is sometimes difficult to understand and accept, but for those who believe, it can be an assurance that they are on the right course, guided by God. Rejection by the world does not mean that we become unwanted and disliked by all people. Rather, our values, beliefs, and attitudes, which are in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, may cause some people to reject, misunderstand, and criticize us.
Rejection by the world can take many different forms. First of all, it can be rejection because of our faith in God and our Christian beliefs. We are often misunderstood, ridiculed, and even persecuted by those who do not share our faith. It can also manifest itself in the form of moral rejection. When we choose the path of honesty, sincerity and purity, we often go against the customs and norms of the world. This can lead to ridicule, rejection of our choices, and treatment of us as weird or "out of fashion". Yet, despite this rejection, God guides us.
Rejection by the world becomes a sign for us that we put the values and principles that Jesus Christ professes in the first place. This means that we choose a path that may be more difficult, but leads to true fulfillment and a life in accordance with God's will. Rejection by the world puts us to the test. In times like these, we must find our strength and confidence in God. This is the time when our faith is tested and our trust in God is formed. This is also an opportunity to unite with Christ, who was also rejected by the world, but remained faithful and followed the way of the cross for our salvation.
Being rejected by the world can also lead to greater understanding and compassion towards others who experience similar situations. When we ourselves face rejection, we become more sensitive to the suffering of others and understand their pain better. This, in turn, strengthens our capacity to be supportive and merciful to those who also feel rejected. It is also worth noting that being rejected by the world does not mean that we should separate ourselves from society or avoid relationships with other people. On the contrary, as Christians we are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Our job is to bring God's love and truth to the world, regardless of the reactions we get.
We are called to love, forgive and pray for those who reject us. Rejection by the world, although painful, can be one of the strong signs that we are on the right path. It is a sign that we choose the path of faithfulness to God and His teachings, regardless of the consequences. Rejection by the world is not unexpected for those who choose to follow Christ, because He Himself warned that the world would hate us.
In the Gospel of Saint John we read: If the world hates you, know that it hated me first. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world, because I have chosen you from the world, therefore the world hates you." When we are rejected by the world, we can look at this as confirmation that we are on the right path. Now let's look at another sign of God's guidance. we strive for comfort, peace, and ease in our lives.
and any other difficult experiences. Although it may be difficult to understand, it is in these difficult times that we can see growth, transformation and ultimately blessing. Difficult situations and trials are part and parcel of our lives. They can take many different forms, such as financial difficulties, health problems, relationship problems and all other forms of difficulty These situations are often unpredictable and can cause stress, anxiety and distress. However, as believers, we must look to difficult experiences as a sign of God's guidance.
God does not always prevent difficulties in our lives, but in His wisdom and love He allows us to face these challenges so that we can grow, mature spiritually and learn to trust Him in every situation. The first aspect worth noting is that trials and trials can serve as a purification of our faith and trust. When we face difficulties, our faith is put to the test. This is the time when we must deepen our trust in God and rely on His promises. Through these experiences, we can discover that our faith becomes stronger, more authentic, and more enduring. Second, trials and difficult experiences can serve as tools to purify our attitudes, motivations, and values.
Often in our daily lives, we tend to place too much importance on material possessions, success, or social recognition. However, when God allows us difficulties, we can see that our true values are shaped around what is really important in His eyes. These experiences help us focus on the spiritual aspects of life and strive for greater alignment with God's plans for us. The third aspect that comes from experiencing trials and difficult situations is the development of our character and emotional endurance. When we are put to severe trials, we must face our fears, doubts, and limitations.
It is in these moments that we learn to cope with difficulties, persevere, adapt and cope with stress. These experiences shape our character, teach us humility, patience and the ability to cope with adversity. We must not forget that God never allows us to try beyond our means. He always provides us with the strength and grace we need to survive and grow in these difficult times. If we trust and rely on God, He will guide us through every trial. When we overcome difficulties and experience victory, we see that our strength does not come from ourselves, but from God who works in our lives.
We discover that His guidance and support are real and that we can rely on His power in every situation. If we keep our eyes on God and trust in His plans, we can experience the blessing that comes from difficulties. God is able to turn our trials into opportunities to discover His power, healing, renewal, and salvation. Another sign of God's guidance and that we are on the right path is to have compassion for the soul and to be guided by love in our lives. In the midst of the hustle and uncertainty of the modern world, compassion is becoming an increasingly valuable quality that defines our relationship with God and others.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the supreme model of love for all people. His teaching on love is one of the most important aspects of His mission on earth. Through His words and actions, Jesus showed us how to love others and bring God's love into our daily lives. In the Gospel according to Saint Matthew we read: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself". Jesus showed us that our lives should be filled with love for God and our fellowmen.
Jesus also emphasized that love should not be selective. In the Gospel according to Saint Luke we read: "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you." Jesus encouraged us to love not only those who love us, but also those who hurt us. The love that Jesus gives is unconditional and embraces all people, regardless of their attitudes or deeds.
The first aspect of soul compassion is the ability to empathize and understand other people. God loves each person unconditionally and wants us to love others in the same way. Having compassion for the soul means being able to empathize with the feelings, needs, and experiences of others. Seeing them from the perspective of God's love, we are ready to take action to help, comfort and support them in their hardships and joys. The second aspect is the practice of love in everyday life. Love is the central Christian value, and God himself is love. By being guided by love in our actions and relationships, we show that God is at work in our lives. We are aware that every person we meet has value and dignity as a creature of God.
We express love through respect, kindness, acts of charity and concern for others. The third aspect is readiness to forgive and reconcile. God is a God of mercy and His desire is that we also be merciful towards others. Compassion for the soul means that we are open to forgiveness, both for ourselves and for others. We understand that everyone makes mistakes and experiences weakness, but it is our ability to forgive and reconcile that helps to build bonds and create an atmosphere of mutual respect and love. Compassion for the soul also has a social dimension. This means that we are committed to social justice, fighting injustice and poverty.
God directs us to love our neighbor, and compassion is the natural outgrowth of that love. That is why we strive to change the world for the better through activities that bring justice, equality and dignity to all people. Compassion for the soul also manifests itself in our interpersonal relationships. God wants us to create healthy, loving, and mutually supportive relationships with others. We feel deep joy and satisfaction when we can be someone's shoulder to cry on, an ear that listens, and a hand that helps.
A compassionate person has the ability to listen, understand and respond to the emotional, spiritual and practical needs of another person. In conclusion, rejection by the world, experiencing trials and difficulties that ultimately benefit us, and compassion and love for others are signs of God's leading in our lives. The signs of God's presence are revealed within us, in our daily lives. God works in our hearts and minds, inspiring us and guiding our steps.

I stopped after the first line. "Each of us is a participant in a wonderful spiritual journey." No. That's not true. Not even close. So why say it?

You drastically need to edit your posts. I bet even God didn't get past the first paragraph.

Jesus Christ doesn't even have the patience to read this.
