MATERIAL THINKING is static and physical but spiritual things are dynamic, fluid, and always in motion.
The smallest of good, when done with love in the heart, is a truth worthy of praise. What material thinking shall often dispel as insignificant, may be the very thing that gives it thought.
For the Spirit of the LORD is nearer to us than our thoughts, and more present to us than the absence that we feel in the depth of our hearts.
Spiritual things are manifest in the heart that is at work in God for purposes that fulfill the truth in our being human and therefore, whether in great leaps or small steps, advance the cause of creation and the divine purposes for which our Mankind is upon this inhabited earth intended.
Prayer breaks us free from the rut of material thinking.

AS A RULE, my precious Starshine, prayer is always more than the sum of all that we can see with our unseeing eyes.
A soul in prayer is a heart present to its thought, a walk across the vast, empty deserts within, a reaching out to places beyond self, a looking above from within, it is silence contemplating Silence - alone with the Alone, it is a growing, persevering, often times frustrating work born of great necessity, out of thy love of God.
Prayer is an ascent to the timeless, anchored upon ageless truth, of all the things we love and of the Love that all created things hope for, most especially by the truth of thy heart of love, and of thy faith yearning to God in prayer.
The way to God is a crooked line, for we are all but human, but the way of prayer makes this way certain; that the soul that perseveres in prayer shall indeed profit from the LORD that rewards all things, great and small, known and known to God alone, done out of love and fear of the one common Creator of all common creation, seen and unseen.
It is not only important that we pray, and persevere in this way, my love, in private, above all in community with each other, it is simply necessary for human happiness and the well-being of the still small truth that lives, like a mustard seed, inside of every self, for all things true and everlasting depend on a heart of prayer.
Prayer is spiritual, therefore, there are seasons within the soul that range from sweet to dry or empty but never must thy heart stay still, you must gather when it needs gathering and to know also when to look beyond these seasons, you must be vigilant, pressing on till you reach the heart of God to lay your hopes in the LORD - so prayer may be long or it may be short but it must always be timeless, its substance is the motion that lives like a love longing for Itself.
And when the Silence shall to your bowed heart speak, it shall do so swift as light, being spoken without words and instantly manifest to your soul as winged truth - then you shall seek to forget all other things but God and God alone.
And in God you shall range far, self cognizant of self, intimate with the Intimate, to dwell in holy remembrance of all things.
For far may your wandering heart be but to love and in Love you shall forever remain when you shall in prayer persevere.
So do so, dearest Starshine, and say Amen. Know for thy own self why the heart that believes believes only because it prays.

If you are a practicing Roman Catholic Christian, male or female, 16 years old and over and you feel drawn to the specific charism of our One Solidarity, my precious friend, then be true to yourself and follow prayerfully and with internal vigilance your own heart in the way of your calling.
Begin by your own prayerful initiative to practice and imbibe in yourself with and in the Holy Spirit of God the requisite understanding and necessary spirituality of God and Country that will make kindred souls of you and me and will in time create for all of us drawn by our Lord into this particular apostolate of His Church the equal order of our one community which is the prototype whole of the civilization of love brought about by one Undivided Church and aspired to by our very own Holy Mother Church.
There is only one way to build this apostolate and that is from the ground up, from your heart and from mine as kindred souls - one and all - out into the tremendous world of our common human hopes.
If we shall each remain true, my precious friend, we shall eventually all be gathered together for such is the ascendant nature of this mountain path.
All of this for a better, brighter, kinder world for all men, women and children of every nation of the one family of the nations of mankind.

About Our Emblem
Our emblem is a shield.
The shield is primarily a symbol of defense. It is used to block, deflect or absorb an attack.
At the center of the shield is a white, five-pointed star. This star represents Jesus Christ, our Exemplar. He is both our Path and our Destiny; our Light and our Peace.
It is as it is written in Revelations 22: 16 - "I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star."
The five points of the star represent the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude plus charity, the queen of all virtues.
The word "PAX" being the Latin word meaning "Peace" is an absolute statement of our complete and irreversible allegiance to the one whole Peace and the original order of God's creation.
The color black represents unrealized hope; it is the promise of every unborn dream that is recognized, upheld and defended by the specific charism of our community.
White is the color of the purity of truth and sacred life; it is the abiding guidance of God's Peace which is the one, true Light of Jesus Christ, the life of our human race.
A scroll with the words: Charity Unity Country, as a semantic expression descriptive of our relevance as a whole, may also be added at the bottom of the shield.

About Our Community
Salutations of peace and common goodwill to you.
We are the one Solidarity, the Solidarity of the Nameless of God - A Global Apostolate of the Peace of Jesus Christ.
In my native vernacular, Filipino: Solidaridad nang mga Taong Masa ng aming Nag-Iisang Panginoong Diyos - Isang Pandaigdigang Apostolado ng Kapayapaan nang aming Panginoong Hesukristo.
Our Apostolate is a direct response to our Master's call for necessary laborers from among the common Laity of the Roman Catholic Church as well as from among blessed Christendom who are called toward a similar service to the one body of Christ and to our suffering humanity as a whole.
For there is an urgent labor of our present time that require a certain Christian spirituality born of a specific conviction of the human heart and mind; a spirituality of God and Country.
The Official Language of the one Solidarity is Veritas or the Truth; the mother tongue of the peace, the still small voice of God, the holy angels, the Saints, the holy souls, and those elect of God on earth who are His friends in time and in eternity.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
898 By reason of our special vocation as Catholic Laity, it is our Christian duty to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and directing them according to God's will.
As Laity, it pertains to our common stations within Holy Mother Church in a special way to illuminate and order all temporal things with which we are each are closely associated that these may always be effected and grow according to Christ and may be to the glory of our Creator and Redeemer.
899 For the initiative of lay Christians is necessary especially when the matter involves discovering or inventing the means for permeating social, political, and economic realities with the demands of Christian doctrine and life. This initiative is a normal element of the life of the Church:
Lay believers are in the front line of Church life; for them the Church is the animating principle of human society. Therefore, they in particular ought to have an ever-clearer consciousness not only of belonging to the Church, but of being the Church, that is to say, the community of the faithful on earth under the leadership of the Pope, the common Head, and of the bishops in communion with him. We are the Church.
900 Since, like all the faithful, lay Christians are entrusted by God with the apostolate by virtue of our Baptism and Confirmation, we each have the right and duty, individually or grouped in associations, to work so that the divine message of salvation may be known and accepted by all men throughout the earth.
This duty is all the more pressing when it is only through our vital efforts that willing hearts can hear the Gospel and know Christ.
The activity of Laity in ecclesial communities is so necessary that, for the most part, the apostolate of the pastors cannot be fully effective without it.
