the Grace of Single Purpose

#450  Wed. Nov. 18/15, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Oh God. Help us to adore You!

Help our minds and hearts to be of one accord as we endeavor to adore you. 

Let your Graces flow so that our minds and hearts are one in adoring you.

We need Your Graces so that the time we spend in adoration is heightened, taken to a new level because we are giving our all to You.

Ask Me for the Grace of Single Purpose – to adore Me with all your heart, mind, strength – your whole being.

Sometimes your mind wanders doesn’t it.  That’s ok.  But quickly ask Me for the Grace of Single Purpose --- to adore Me.

You may not have known about this Grace before, but now you do.

What a great come back, when we find our mind and heart wandering away during adoration to quickly ask Me for the Grace of Single Purpose.

You want to adore, you want to be ever closer to Me, nourished by Me, enlightened by Me, yet sometimes the mind loses focus and you find yourself, not physically, but mentally in another place.  Interesting how the body and mind can separate themselves isn’t it. 

So I want now to enlighten you to the Grace of Single Purpose.  Your body, mind and heart want to be one as you sit before Me.

They want to be united in adoring Me.  So ultimately you adore Me more fully – the all of you in the ALL Presence of Me.

I tell you this is a very special Grace.  It invites us closer than before when we did not know of this Grace.

So it is not the Grace of Petitioning Me, or asking for such and such or for thanking Me.  It is different.

It is just to be fully you in My Presence --  the fullness, the all of you in My Presence.

Strip everything else away in the chapel.  You need not note the crack in the wall, or the light how it slants in thru the window, or the number of people here with you.

Your single purpose is to be solely with Me.  Nothing around you in your surroundings must distract from our union.

Now yes, sounds will be heard, you may smell something – perfume, etc. but that is not your purpose for being here.

Ask Me for the Grace to come before Me with a single purpose --- to fully adore Me with the all of you.

Do not list off your hurts, your concerns, the people you wish to pray for.  Do you not think that I know all of this already?

“Lord give me the Grace of Single Purpose.”

And you do not need to be in church, or even anywhere the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, or in the tabernacle.

I will give you this Single Purpose to adore Me wherever you happen to be, whenever you ask for it.

“Lord, give me the Grace of Single Purpose.”
