The Spiritual Gift of PIETY creates in our hearts a filial affection for GOD as our most loving Father. It inspires us to love and respect, for His sake, persons and things consecrated to Him. Those who are filled with the Gift of PIETY find the practice of worshipping GOD a delightful service and NOT a burdensome duty. WHERE THERE IS LOVE, THERE IS NO LABOUR.

FORTITUDE imparts to the will an impulse and energy which move it to undertake, without hesitancy, the most arduous tasks, to face dangers, to trample under foot human respect, and to endure, without complaint, the slow martyrdom of even lifelong tribulation.  © Sunset Counsel Rock Overlook, Montauk, NY ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014 { Click on Pic to Enlarge } PRAYER: Come, O Blessed Spirit of FORTITUDE, uphold my soul in time of trouble and adversity, sustain my efforts after holiness, strengthen my weakness, give me courage against ALL the assaults of my enemies, that I may NEVER be overcome and separated from Thee, my GOD and greatest Good.

KNOWLEDGE unmasks the pretense of creatures, reveals their emptiness, and points out their only true purpose as instruments in the service of GOD. It shows us the loving care of GOD even in adversity, and directs us to glorify Him in EVERY circumstance of life. Guided by its light, we put first things first, and prize the friendship of GOD beyond ALL else. Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesses it. PRAYER:
COME, OH BLESSED SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE, AND GRANT THAT I MAY PERCEIVE THE WILL OF THE FATHER; SHOW ME THE NOTHINGNESS OF EARTHLY THINGS, THAT I MAY REALIZE THEIR VANITY AND USE THEM ONLY FOR THY GLORY AND MY OWN SALVATION, LOOKING EVER BEYOND THEM TO THEE AND THY ETERNAL REWARDS.

It enables us to penetrate the inner meaning of revealed truths and through those truths we are brought to a newness of life. Our faith stops being inactive and sterile, but inspires a new way of living that bears eloquent testimony to the faith that is in us; we begin to walk worthy of GOD in ALL things pleasing and we increase in the knowledge of GOD. PSALM 119:169 "LET MY CRY COME BEFORE YOU, OH LORD; GIVE ME UNDERSTANDING ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD." PRAYER: COME, OH SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING AND ENLIGHTEN OUR MINDS THAT WE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ALL THE MYSTERIES OF SALVATION; AND MAY MERIT AT LAST TO SEE THE ETERNAL LIGHT IN THY LIGHT; AND IN THE LIGHT OF GLORY TO HAVE A CLEAR VISION OF THEE AND THE FATHER AND SON.

This exact spot is claimed to be a Spiritual Vortex. Montauk Indian Tribal Councils included twelve other local American Indian Tribes and were held at this location. As they gathered to discuss current events, the surrounding base of the rock would spontaneously erupt in flames which was seen as a beacon of light from vessels at sea. Many Supernatural events have been recorded at this place. The ghosts of Indians have been seen by many and the sounds of beating drums often reported. A band of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders died of Tuberculosis here and have also been seen wandering the grounds in Spirit. CLICK ON THIS LINK TO READ MORE ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON !  The second of the SEVEN Spiritual Gifts, The GIFT of COUNSEL endows the soul with supernatural prudence, enabling it to judge promptly and rightly what MUST BE done, especially in difficult circumstances. COUNSEL IS SUPERNATURAL COMMON SENSE, a priceless treasure. PRAYER: COME, OH SPIRIT OF COUNSEL, HELP AND GUIDE ME IN ALL MY WAYS THAT I MAY ALWAYS DO YOUR HOLY WILL. INCLINE MY HEART TO THAT WHICH IS GOOD; TURN IT AWAY FROM ALL THAT IS EVIL, AND DIRECT ME BY THE STRAIGHT PATH OF THY COMMANDMENTS TO THAT GOAL OF ETERNAL LIFE FOR WHICH I LONG. AMEN.

HOLOCAUST REMEMBERANCE DAY It's fitting that the only blooming spring flower in my garden this year is this six petalled golden perennial tulip with bright red stripes. To me, this particular tulip represents the STAR of DAVID The red stripes represent the blood that was spilled and the bloodline that carries on, despite atrocities and hardships. It reminds me of my own heritage and THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; how He spilled out His very last drop on Good Friday. When He resurrected and showed Himself to the remaining frightened and hiding Disciples, He instructed them to pray for NINE DAYS with the promise to send THE HOLY GHOST who would enlighten them with SEVEN GIFTS. That prayer is a powerful plea for the LIGHT and STRENGTH and LOVE needed by every person. If you'd like to know what that prayer is and what the SEVEN GIFTS are please visit this website next week. Your comments are always welcome.  © Montauk Sunset ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014 ""
PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: NOT AS THE WORLD GIVETH, GIVE I UNTO YOU. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID. John 14:27 "Without a deep inner state of quietness, one becomes prey to tension, worry and ill health. A song... a sunset... moonlight... the sea washing on a sandy shore, these administer a healing balm. But they lack power to penetrate the inner recesses of the soul. A profound depth therapy is required to attain healing quietness. An habitual repetition of this one text will, in time, permeate your personality with a complete sense of PEACE. When tense or restless, sit quietly and allow these words to pass unhindered through your thoughts. Conceive of them as spreading a healing balm throughout your mind."

They are in mortal dread of failure. Yet success and failure are in the hands of GOD." E. Stanley Jones Suppose we have the calling to a place, person or event ... Suppose we should fail ... Is that so terrible ? NOT to have tried is a WORSE failure. We look at the verdict of others instead of HIS verdict. We do not have to "succeed". We only have to be true to the HIGHEST we know.  © Window Frost ~ Undine DeFilippo "O Most High, Almighty, Good Lord God, to Thee belong praise, glory, honor and all blessing. Praised be our Lord God, with all his creatures, and especially our brother the Sun, who brings us the day and who brings us the light: fair is he, and he shines with a very great splendour. Oh Lord, he signifies us to Thee ! Praised be our Lord for our sister the Moon, and for the Stars, the which He has set clear and lovely in the heaven. Praised be our Lord for our brother the Wind, and for Air and Clouds, calms and all weather, by which Thou upholdest life and all creatures. Praised be our Lord for our sister Water, who is very serviceable to us, and humble and precious and clean. Praised be our Lord for our brother Fire, through whom Thou givest us light in the darkness; and he is bright and pleasant and very mighty and strong. Praised be our Lord for our mother the Earth, the which doth sustain us and keep us, and bringeth forth divers fruits and flowers of many colors, and grass. Praised be our Lord for all those who pardon one another for Love's sake, and who endure weakness and tribulation; blessed are they who peacefully shall endure, for Thou, O Most High, will give them a crown. Praised be our Lord for our Sister, the Death of the Body, from which no man escapeth. Woe to him that dieth in mortal sin. Blessed are those who die in Thy most holy will, for the second death shall have no power to do them harm. Praise ye and bless the Lord and give thanks to Him and serve Him with great humility."
