Bling for your soul

#407  Mon. Aug. 10/15, 12:50pm, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

I have called you back to adore.  To do the most important thing in your life this day.  All else you have done or will do, pales to being present here with Me.

Now that does not mean that I will not bless all the rest you do today in My Name, led by Me, yet I want you to realize that responding to My Call to come aside bears many, many Graces.

Do not chide others who do not “come aside”.  I am caring for their hearts, but I want you to know that when you do this for Me, in answer to My Call, it is never futile.

Can you feel the Glory in this chapel?

It surrounds and invades.

It awakens and counsels.

It lays bare and heals wounds.

It quiets and yet makes joyful.

Do you feel the tug on your heart?  Guess who is pulling?

Time ticks, yet it stands still.  All in the same moment of time.

Glory is at its fullest.  If you saw legions of angels and all the Glory of Heaven with your eyes you would be thrilled and enthralled.

But I invite you to toss aside those senses for this moment and see All Glory --- Me, Present, Alive, Fully Loving, Fully Forgiving in this small Blessed Sacrament.

Let your soul bathe in this, delight in this, hold on to this and not let anything else drag you away from this moment.

I have Glorified this moment.  I called and you answered, thinking that you were only going to spend a short time with Me till the next adorer came, but no, I wanted you here to share the splendor I offer to each person who enters this chapel.

They, each one, has been called here today by Me.

Where is the person who was supposed to be here for this hour?  Do you need that answer?

It really was you!

Give Me your soul and her soul right now and come swiftly into My Most Sacred Heart.

You have not planned your day, I have.  You gave it to Me in surrender this early morning and I took you at your word and your wish.

Thank Me for this new person in the chapel.  Thank Me for the tears that well up when you realize that I jumped in and took deeper charge of your day.

Our best laid plans do not hold a candle to My Plans for My People. 

When I call you aside, come joyfully!

Come, knowing I will give you the nourishment and support to be here.

Satisfy yourself that all the Power and Glory of Heaven are fully present to your soul in this small almost insignificant looking host.

The shepherds saw the Glory of Heaven revealed when the angels proclaimed My Birth.  Yet, they had to go to see the small baby in the manger, who could do nothing for himself and there they knew they had seen even greater than the Heavenly Angels!

So do not look for the Grand and the Wonderful to see with your eyes.

Look with your soul and see Me in All Grandeur and Beauty in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

Let Me, in the Blessed Sacrament, be the bling for your soul.

Love generously today

#406  Thurs. Aug.6/15, 8:55am, St. Theresa’s just before Mass

As we prepare for Mass let us remember one thing.

I gave you this beautiful Sacrament out of Love and for you to take this Love into your soul and give it generously to others.

Let the World know by your gentle deeds that love abounds.  If you are not loving in your deeds, how do you suppose others can be?

I want it to start with you.  Do not designate the Pope to be the one that has to show Love to the World.

I call each of you to show My Love to the World.

In the smallest of ways, start today.

Greedy to Retaliate

#405  Tues. Aug. 4/15, 10am, St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

O My People.   O how we fall into ourselves.

How we are treated, how we decide to treat others, how we want to withhold forgiveness, how we want to lash out, how we want to make us look better than the other.

When these feelings surface, run to Me and jump into My Most Sacred Heart.

Ask Me to relieve you of these oppressive emotions.  They do not bring you closer to Me.  They are not worth cherishing even for one tiny minute.

Erase all of these through immersion in My Most Sacred Blood.  Do not let the evil one convince the “poor me” self into feeling that you can hold onto them for an hour or just a few minutes.

It is just like touching something hot --- how long can you hold onto it before it burns deep, deep into your flesh.

Well then, how long can you hang onto sin that burns deep, deep into your precious soul?

You can’t without it leaving a serious scar --- one that will eventually need healing.

So how can we endeavor to keep our souls scar-free --- by bringing your temptation to Me immediately so that I can burn through the trash that leads to sin.

Do not, do not try to come before Me and justify why you feel this way and why you want to continue to feel this way.

Do not ask Me if you can retaliate just a bit, just for a few seconds.  No.  You know you can’t and you shouldn’t, but you would dearly love to have My Permission to do just a smidging of retaliation.

The “self” thinks it will be satisfied if only it can retaliate.  You know you have all sorts of responses that you would like to say to the other to satisfy your greed for retaliation.

Did you realize that greed and retaliation go hand in hand?

You want retaliation so, so badly above even serving Me your Loving, Caring Master.

Isn’t that greed?  You probably never thought of it this way did you?  But it is.

You are greedy to get one up on the other, to show them that they aren’t perfect either.  You want to show them that you are keeping score of their faults too!

Ask Me, Ask Me – “Lord do you keep score of my faults?’

Why would I?

Does Love keep score of faults?  No.

Love just Loves the entire you --- that includes your virtues and vices.

Love is not Love when it is eager to take note of others faults.

When you keep track of others faults, you really are trying to show how really good you are.

When you mention one of their faults to Me, do you also humbly tell Me your faults?

Usually we want to find fault in others so we will look good, better than them.

It is just like buying a new sink.  You compare several and note the faults of each and then take the one with less faults.

You see we judge to Love by a person’s faults.  If they seem to have lots, we do not Love them as much.

Do not shake your head “Not me Lord.”

So today take on this joyful task of just Loving, not saying to yourself “well this is a fault I notice, but I will still Love them.”

Just Love them because that is all I have asked you to do.  Right?  Not Love them in spite of this or that, but just Love them.

Ask Me.  I repeat ask Me to let you Love them with no conditions attached.

Now go in peace.  That is go having banished all retaliation from your soul.  Do not even retaliate in your mind, because it can quickly slip from your tongue.

Tell Me “Lord, I am not greedy to retaliate.”  Keep me far from this harmful sin.
