Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

#322   Nov. 19/14, Wed.  10am, St. T,  before the Blessed Sacrament

Lord, touch us with Your Tender Heart.

Make our hearts leap with Joy knowing that You are within our hearts and yet around our heart.    

We are secure.  In a safe haven.  Learning what you want us to know --- how much Loved we are by You.

Do not let our ego get in the Way of Your Love.

Hasten, not because we are full of the ego of pride, but because we are full of the ego of being more in charge than You.

We want to fix the situation.  We are not satisfied to wait for You to fix it in Your Good Time and in Your Good Way.

Our fixings are like band-aids that do not stick. They seem to at first, but quickly lose their value and importance and worth.

Why Lord are we not satisfied to wait for Your Answer?  Why do we think we can do better than you?

“Wait on the Lord.”

We have heard and read that Lord, yet have not taken it in.  We are an impatient people Lord, so the sooner a problem gets solved, the better off we feel things are.

Help us Lord, Help us to be more obedient to ‘wait on You.’

If we wait on You, Lord, we also serve you by this waiting.  You see, we think this is a waste of time.

Who likes to wait?   None of us.  We all get impatient – for a new baby to arrive, for an answer to our application, for the tv program to start.

How much of Your Time, Lord, do we waste just waiting?  We for sure are not living in the present.  Because in the present there is no such thing as waiting.  It IS.  And that is the ALL of it.

So I wait till my time is up before the Blessed Sacrament.  Instead of my prayer being --- thank you for the Blessed Sacrament, thank you for allowing me to spend each moment in its fullest with You. 

Our moments in life are only at their fullest when they are spent with You, Lord.

Instead of planning what I will do after – which is not the present --  I do not use this time with You Lord to its fullest.

Help me, Lord, to be fully present in You.

Just softly repeat My Name, Jesus, as you sit before Me in My Eternal Presence.  It is as simple as that.

Certainly you can pray, read scripture, but again the most simple way is to repeat and repeat My Name, Jesus, into each second you spend with Me.

See, because I am telling you, that you are in the fullness of Me when you utter My Name, Jesus.

You need ask for nothing, tell Me anything, wonder about this or that.

My Name contains ALL.  All you will ever need or want.  Are you willing to put all your needs and wants into My Name, Jesus?

Are you willing to Trust that as you breathe My Name, Jesus, that it contains all the desires of your heart and these desires appear before Me without you needing to mention them?

Will you take a day, an hour, a minute to just breathe My Name, Jesus, and not add whom you are praying for, what you feel you need, a world concern -- danger, dying, fighting, etc.?

I beg you to start this practice.  Ask for nothing, bring Me nothing, just breathe My Name Jesus.  Allow Me the opportunity to BE ALL in your life.

Free Me to BE ALL in your life.
