a new-born heart

#147  Mon. June 17/13, 11:15 am before the Blessed Sacrament

Holy Lord, Holy God, Holy Mighty One. 

These words should trip off your tongue often.  Recognize Me to your heart, to your friends and family, to the world.

Seek not to prove I am Holy, seek Me the One who is Holy.

Do not hesitate to seek Me in all situations. Think of a happy time – have you sought Me and thanked Me for that.  In the midst of a bad, sad time have you sought Me in that and proclaimed to your heart that “I, Jesus Am Holy.”

When we are enjoying a good time we sometimes forget to include Me in the joy of it all.  In the same sense when something bad happens – whether personally or out there in the world, we seek the guidance of our emotions rather than including Me in a positive proclaiming manner.  We want to nourish our emotions with our thoughts and reactions.  We avoid calling on God because we know He will ask us to see it differently and that is not how we want to really react. Unless we react in hatred, pain, hurt, vengeance, ‘justice’, we feel we have not taken the ‘bad news’ seriously enough.

If we call upon God to grace us with His Love so we can act and react in Love for Love’s sake, we still remain in our broken human nature that sometimes insists on reacting, instead of acting out of Love in our thoughts, words and actions.

You are not serving Me if you stay firmly planted in the reactions of your senses.  You do serve Me when you reach into your heart that is fed, nourished by My Heart and ask for the Divine Grace to put Divine Love from you into this situation.

It may not change the matter, but it will certainly change you, all for the better.  While you carry anger and resentment, do you presume you can carry Me?  Not likely, because our anger, sadness, judgment occupy the spaces in you – occupies all of you and I cannot enter in.

God gave you these senses through His Divine Love, yet He wants you to use them for your good and the good of the world and His Glory.

Sometimes if we don’t get angry we just are lethargic.  Like we don’t react either with anger or love.

The anger some situations arouse in you is to allow you to live in the world.  But it does not need to be nurtured by the world.

Think about this.  When you get angry, is it because of what happened or is it anger directed at the lack of love in all of us, you included?  That is what should jump out at you.

Your anger should reveal to you the lack of love and trust that dwells in you! Do not point to others as doing bad things.  Check out your own heart.  Is my heart doing loving things and thus serving God above all?

Anger is a healthy reminder that we are not being in love of God and our neighbor.

Prolonged anger takes you further and further away from this love relationship which you would have sworn your soul and heart held securely.

So you see the importance of anger?

It is not meant to take you to dark places – revenge, seeking worldly justice, hatred.

It is sincerely meant to remind you that love, the fullness of God’s love, still does not dwell securely in your heart.

It’s purpose is to bring you hastily to Me and lay your anger down in My Sacred Heart and beg for more Divine Love to infuse and nurture your heart and soul.  Do not let anger be the food that sustains you.

Let My Divine Love be the food that sustains you.

Whenever you see, hear something bad that takes you to anger, hate and vengeance, hasten quickly to My Sacred Heart and jump in --- not with the intent of hiding away from the corruption in the world, but with begging to fortify your heart and soul with My Divine Love so that the world does not take hold of your heart and soul and destroy the Divine Love I placed in you at Creation.

You are not running away from the situation, rather you are running to the One who allows or permits ALL to happen.  He has the only answer --- ask Him to share it with you.  His response may not be with details but with only one word which can break open the world --- LOVE.

Love is so contrary to bad situations that sometimes you may struggle to remain ‘in love’.

I know this can be a struggle, that is why I have been saying many times  ---  Come to Me, spend time with Me, renew your lost love, nourish your heart and soul with My Divine Love.

Hasten to come aside.  The more you do, the greater the blessing.  The more love I will infuse into you.  I can and will do nothing less!!

I am revealing to you right now that a baby does not frown first or have an angry face first, it smiles first because it knows Love, only Love.  However we parents can easily infuse anger, hurt, sadness into them by our own behavior.  Return to the Love you knew.  Be as simple in your heart as the newborn. 

Ask for your new-born heart.  The simplicity of your new-born heart.

Each day ask for this anew.  You will be surprised how it will see you through because it does not worry about the past or future but lives in the Love of the moment. 

Thank you for coming aside.  I love you. You are Mine, and you are Mine, and you are Mine.

NEVER forget My Love for you.
