Veneration

The difference between veneration n worship

venerate is to regard with great respect or to revere. Veneration can be defined as “respect or awe directed toward someone or something which is earthly when the object is more important like the eucharist we used the word adoration.

The simplest definition of worship is to “ascribe worth in someone or something eg taking and ordinary object n adding meaning which is not there.

Wen we venerate cross or adore the eucharist in eucharistic adoration we are not putting or adding meaning to which it present so we are not worshipping anything. The eucharist is the body of Christ not because we say but because he said it. The cross is what our savior was hung an it's because of this we can live forever.

Good Friday

My god my lord why have you forsaken me

U have forsaken me

Lord into your hands I surrender my sprite

This is the wood òf the cross on which the savior of the world is hung come let us adore

Today is good Friday and it is good because it is on this day jesus gave up himself on the wood of the cross so that we might live forever. This is the cross which hung the savior of the world. In the second part of the good Friday service we have the veneration of the cross.

We do not worship object we venerate or adore the object.  We have eucharistic adoration and many of us don't have a problem with it so why when we replace the eucharistic with the cross why there an uproar when it's the same thing we are adoring.

One of the profound statement made my jesus is my god my lord why have you forsaken me show that jesus was truly human even though he was Divine jesus was left all alone my his Disciple and even god but jesus continue with his father's mission down to the last letter and when it was done he gave up his spirit.

This shows us that we have to try our very best to remain strong in our trial and temptation even when there seems to be no hope. Why should we keep hope even when it is impossible look at the 2 thieves who were crucified with him 1 on the left 1 on the right. 1 of them lost hope because death was looking at him in the face thus he saw no reason to ask for forgiveness but the but the other one didn't lose hope even when death was looking at him in the face he ask for forgiveness and he was save at the 11th hour.  Remember that when u see 1 set of footprint in the sand remember that God is caring u thought the areas in your life which u can't handle don't jump out of his loving hands and do it alone always call on him.

Why Nobody is EVER Allowed to Move This Ladder

Sam 23 psalm 23

Bondyé Senyè-a sé bèwjé mwen. Mwen pa ka mantjé anyen.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

I ka kité mwen pozé koté zèb-la pli bèl.

He maketh me to lie down in green pasture

I ka mennen mwen bwè koté dlo-a pli dous.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

I ka viwé ban mwen kouway nèf.

He restoreth my soul:

I ka mennen mwen an chimen dwèt-la,
paski sé kalité gadyenn sala i yé.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though

Menm si mwen ka pasé an fon-an ki pli fènwè-a,

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

mwen pa kay pè anyen ki mové,
paski ou la épi mwen.

I will fear no evil for Thou art with me;

Ou ni boutouʼw épi batonʼw pou pwotèkté mwen.

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Ou pwépawé an tab ban mwen douvan zyé tout lèlmi mwen.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Ou vidé lwil asou tèt mwen. Ou plen pòt mwen,i ka débondé.

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Mwen asiwé bontéʼw épi mizéwikòd ou kay la épi mwen tout lavi mwen.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

Èk mwen kay wèsté lakay ou, Bondyé Senyè, pou tout tan.

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
