“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matt 7:7
Jesus, Remember me when you come to your Kingdom.
“Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in Paradise”
My dear friends
This world is divided into many countries, many races, many languages, many religions.
In humbly believe that there is just ONE invisible World where we will go after this life . The final goal of each and everyone of us human soul is: PARADISE, HEAVEN.
I would like to present to you one way to Heaven:
Sisters & Brothers in Christ.
Greetings in the peace of Christ.
The canonization of the couple to sainthood. namely , St. Louis Martin and Zelie Martin, , who are parents of St. Therese of the Child Jesus is no longer considered a mystery but could become a reality that can be fulfilled for each one of us.
I say this sine they are ordinary God fearing Christians who lived simply and act humbly. They did not perform exceptional feats or did. great things yet they were hailed as saints by the church. Thus, we have the sterling hope that each one of us can have the same reward if we live the way these two saints lived.
As we study the lives of Saint Martins, we see two most prominent things, namely :
1. Both have wanted to be holy;
2. Both have wholeheartedly trusted God . Their faith has been the guiding light for their family as we have witnessed the children also strived to be holy.
Based on these basics characteristics, the two have lived as holy people in everyday life. Could we be ever lived like them ?.
Of course , the answer is YES!
May I suggest we learn to beseech and pray to God.
1.Let us make prayer a daily habit . Yes, everyday ! Let us pray to the Lord begging him for the grace of sanctification.
2. Trust God with all your heart and soul that He will sanctify you.
God desires for each one of us to be with him in Heaven:
God prepared each of us for a place with God in Heaven as we read in
John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in me as well. In m Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And, if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into m presence, so that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
Similar to a diamond , it is worth to anyone who knows the value. If we give it to a baby , it would only be worth comparable to a stone.
We know the value of the gift of sanctification, thus, if we earnestly beg God , it will be given to us. Heaven is so great that God wants us to live forever with Him.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matt 7:7
At the wedding of Cana, Jesus transformed the water into wine. At every Mass, by the power of the Holy Spirit, when the priest recites the Eucharistic prayer, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ.
If God wills it, we can be sanctified in a blink of an eye!
We persevere in prayer as we persist and patiently wait ,with His love , God will give us this grace.
When we pray on a daily basis, it is natural for us to change the way we think and act according to God’s teaching, based on Love.
How do we know we are holy in the midst of everyday living?
If we were able to forgive , to love and pray for our enemies who harmed us, is the beginning of our path to holiness.
May God bless our pure intentions.

I invite you join List To Heaven Group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2093306460994096/While many people ridiculed the Lord Jesus when he was crucified on the Cross, the man hanged on the side of the Lord saying to him: “Jesus , remember me When you come to Your Kingdom” without hesitation Jesus said “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”
Why this man asked?
1. He knew that Jesus is the Lord full of power. He is not Jesus’ disciple but He should have heard the people of Jerusalem said about Jesus.
2. He believes that Heaven is Jesus’ Kingdom
3. He only asked Jesus to remember him.
4. He knew that he was a criminal deserving to death penalty.
Upon hearing his request, Lord Jesus answered without hesitation. He knew he was a criminal but he gave him more than what he asked for, that is, he would go to heaven right away.
Through this story, I would like to share my simple thought:
For those who believe in Jesus: Catholic and other Christians:
1. We believe in the power of God, no matter how sinful it is, we can ask God to go to Heaven right after the last breath.
2. We have to ask openly.
3. We trust that Our Lord Jesus will grant us Heaven Grace if we ask for it openly. He grants this great gift for the man who commit serious sin, why not to us?
For those in different religions:
1. If you believe that after this life you can be in Heaven, you can ask for it.
2. If Jesus can give the Heaven Gift for a man who committed great sin, He could give it to you also.
3. It is important that you ask for it openly.
My dear friends, for you the time leaving this life is still far away but for those who are older like me it is very close. Surely you have relatives like parents, grandparents, uncles .. are advance in age. Please share my thought to them, may be it can help them go straight to Heaven after leaving the world!
We do not know when is our death why don’t we prepare for it now?
I am making a list for those who would ask for the Grace of going to Heaven. If you want to register please click Like. I will pray for you everyday and we pray for each other also.

Our Father who art in Heaven
Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross has bestowed the gift of Paradise to the criminal deserving of death penalty right after he asked Our Lord to remember him when He comes to His Kingdom.
As we are imperfect , we beseech for the gift of Sanctification to enter Heaven and to live with You through eternity.
With the child’s innocent trust, we believe in the Lord who had given Zelie and Louise Martin the Sainthood, God we beseech you would to grant us sanctification.
Blessed are those who follow His footsteps and as we are grateful for your grace.
Please sanctify us.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
