Pile it on

#742  Mon. Oct. 23/17  11am,  St. Theresa’s, before the Blessed Sacrament

Come pour your sorrow over Me.  It will never be too much for Me to handle and hopefully it will help to reduce your sorrow. 

Pile it on Me.  Let Me know how overwhelming it is for you,  how you can barely hold it.  I do not count this as complaining, but rather you are explaining that it is just too much for you to handle.

Now isn’t it a relief that you have somewhere to put it.  How our hearts become over- burdened when we don’t see any way out of a situation. 

How much lighter our hearts when we see there is a place for ALL that is tearing us apart.

I do not care for My People in little ways, or should I say, just in little ways.  I care for My People in ALL ways and always. 

I told you I want to lighten your burden, so you have no excuse for not bringing ALL to Me.

Leave it with Me with no instructions, just leave it with Me with no apologies like “Sorry Lord I can’t handle this.”

I never asked you to handle it alone did I?

So why are we embarrassed to let the Lord in on our pain?  Do we think it shows that we are weak?

Quite the contrary! 

It shows that He wants us to realize the great gift He is to us in our lives.

It takes the Grace of Wisdom to realize this and toss it all over to Him. 

Come, toss Me all that is burdening you right now and you know that I know what that is.  So just keep giving it to Me as many times as it appears in your mind, so your soul does not get weighed down by this.

Keep your soul light and refreshed by always giving Me any and all your burdens time and time again thus allowing your soul to benefit more from each encounter with Me.

If it brings you more often into My Presence, it cannot be bad, it is all beneficial. 

I am always delighted to see you.  Your soul is the happier because it does not have to live burdened by this burden. 

Not physically

#741 Sun. Oct 22/17,  7:20am, at home

Come aside and settle yourself in My Presence.  It sometimes is not physically coming aside as much as spiritually coming aside. 

For some this is a harder task!  When we move from one place to another physically, we can see that happening.  But, when our soul moves from one task to another it isn’t always visible, especially if there is not outright physical movement.

Like, if I say to you in the midst of a crowd “Come aside with Me” do you start to plow through the crowd to get to a holy destination or do you retreat into your soul and abide with Me there?

Do you see the difference? 

So, when I ask you to come aside and BE with Me, I beg you to start to transport your soul into My Most Holy Presence --- consciously transport your soul.

Like “soul, come with me into His Holy Presence”  It is a conscious thought process, but different than saying I will go to the store now.  That requires a physical motion.

I want you to bring your soul into My Presence even in the middle of a crowd or in a deserted field.  Do not move in a particular direction physically, but move your soul from whatever it was doing into My Most Holy Presence.

“Come dear soul and Be with me in the Presence of His Most Sacred Heart.”

“Help me precious soul to be more aware of His Holy Presence by more often taking me into His Holy Presence.”

Excuses

#740  Fri.  Oct. 20/17,  4 pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

(Excuses)   

Come My Precious One.  Do not hesitate to come and sit with Me.  What holds you back?  What excuse do you think will suffice?   Do you mind making excuses?  Do you feel your excuse is sufficient to keep you away from Me?  But I am still near you and with you and watching over you.

So what have you succeeded in doing?  You are endeavoring to avoid Me, otherwise you would come aside and greet Me and join Me in prayer.

Is that how you see yourself, as avoiding Me?  Perhaps you would never say that out loud but when you refuse to come aside when I call you what should I assume you mean?  “Oh, I really love you Lord.”

That is not the message you would want to hear from Me.  “Oh, I really Love you but don’t have time for prayer right now.”  Do you see how it sounds?

Remember those who said they had to go here or there --- elsewhere than to be with Jesus.

How frail is your heart?  How self-centered is your heart? 

If I, Jesus, were standing right in front of you, big as life, would you still pass on spending some time with Me in prayer? 

What circumstance can I throw out there in front of you to get your attention?  Will you be able to truthfully tell Me when you die that you did not hear My Voice?

So is it because you do not hear My Voice and, if you don’t, why are you not telling Me to call you so you will hear.

Perhaps I do not call because you really don’t want to hear?  Is that your reason?  That is probably the truth of it eh?

I want to get in your face and ask you “Do you want to hear from Me, for Me to call you to prayer?  Well here I am, and I am calling you right now.”

Now you can never say I did not call you.  So, now will you come aside and pray with Me or find some other excuse for not coming to prayer?

I am not cross, but I do not want you to drag yourself down with excuses for not coming. 

Tell Me you want to come aside even if you don’t hear My Call!

So now you will have no excuse for not coming aside!!

You can’t say you didn’t hear My Call because I just called you, I told you I am always calling you, AND now you have said that you will come aside even if you do not hear My Call.

So where are you?

Take on

#739  Mon. Oct. 16/17,  8:30pm, at home  (Take on)

Come, Come one and all. Listen to My Voice.  Be attentive to My Call.

I can call you anytime and any place.  I want you to know that My Voice will become more and more familiar to you once you consent to opening your heart to having Me the ALL in your life.

What are you willing to give up so that the ALL of Me can move in?  At first that doesn’t sound like a tough question.  But when you start to list off what you are willing to give up                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       to let the ALL of Me dwell in your heart, suddenly it strikes you that there really are some things that you will hesitate, really hesitate to give up.

But I am a patient, Loving God.  I will just keep nudging you “Is there something you can give up to have more of Me abide in you?”

Hmmm.  We almost avoid making a list because then it becomes too concrete and we may have to act on what we list that He may ask us to give up.

So I will make it easier for you.  What are you willing to do to get closer and closer to Me

So it is not about giving up but taking more of Me on.

You can start with one extra Hail Mary a day, said with purpose and sincerely.  That is taking on more of Me, right.

You can add an extra Mass during the week, or an extra visit to Church, or an extra visit to a sick friend.

When it comes to giving something up, it is more all about you .  When it comes to taking on, doing more for our relationship, it really is all about Me.

Like you can give up candy, but tell Me how much closer does that bring us together.

Or, you can take on an extra decade of the rosary, or saying a novena, or reading the Bible.  So now you are doing God-centered things.  Don’t you think that will strengthen our relationship?

And of course they will be healthier in building up our relationship if they are done with Lover and for Love.

So, definitely surrender all to Me, but be most willing then to take My directions for your life that is doing, being more God-centered in all you think, say and do rather than a me centered activity.

If you want to give up candy, then do that, but be sure to replace it with a God-choice of something else to fill the space that is now empty.  Fill it with God.  The Sacredness of God in your life.

I affirm you

#738  Sun. Oct. 15/17,  8:45 am, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament

(I affirm you)

I will send you helpers, supporters to help you in all that you do for Me.

I want My People to know that I affirm them in all they do for Me.  It may not look like the affirmation you expect, but still I affirm you.

Don’t look for signs or wonders!  But, thank Me, thank Me that you know I am with you to affirm you in all you do for Me.

Your sign that you believe that I will and do affirm you is best expressed by you thanking Me for affirming you.

Sounds a bit odd, but if you wait till you see a sign, and though I may send you many, if it isn’t the sign you expected to see you might think I have abandoned you.  NEVER the case!

So, I call on you to express your thanks at all times and places --- expressing to Me with your thanks that you believe I am helping you always.

It is not like “Well, Lord, I didn’t see you there so You must not have been there.”

But you say “Thank You, Lord, for being there for me in all I do, for all I do for You.”

It is trusting that He is leading me in whatever He has me doing in His Name.

It just dawned on you, that if you have surrendered the all of you to Me each day, then I am leading you through each day, and by so doing I am leading you in ALL God-things to do for Me.

Sit with this thought and see the evolution of it.

---  you surrender you

---  I lead you

---  I lead you in all the things I will for you to do this day for Me.

---  You are grateful for the Leader and those He sends to help you this day.

You see there is no imbalance here!  There is harmony between the Creator and the Created one.

Nothing, Nothing that happens can be looked on as wrong or can go wrong if you allow Me to lead you through each day.
