Today's Graces

(Today’s Graces)

Come, Come into My Holy Presence.  Bring nothing but your precious soul.  Let Me enlighten your precious soul with the Graces I have in store for you today.

Each one of us needs Special Graces.  Each day brings Special Graces with it.

How fortunate!  Because yesterday’s Graces are not needed for today.  I have fresh Graces for you each and every day.

Step into the sunshine of My Graces.  Let Me open your waking heart to the Power in each of these Graces.

Yes, you can go through the day without My Graces in your soul, but wouldn’t you rather be strengthened by these Graces?

Each one of us wants a good day.  I promise a Grace-filled day that is able to handle the good and bad that may come from this day.

It is our plate of armour as we go forth into the World.  It is never heavy or a burden.

Yet handy whenever we feel we need it, and sometime even when we don’t think we need it.

If you have accepted My Graces, they will act in marvelous ways even without your bidding.

So, let Me put your soul at rest and allow Me to fill your precious soul with today’s Graces and thus be fortified for this day.

Come Graces Come --- flow into my soul, strengthen me so I can carry Jesus gently through this day.

Wonder - in life, in death

(Wonder -- in life, in death)

Precious, Precious People.  How I treasure each of your hearts. They were Created to love and care for My Creation.

What a gift to you and how often you give it back, maybe not even knowing it, yet I treasure how you treat My Creation.

In gentle ways, in big ways, each way is special and a response from your heart to My Gracious Graces. 

Each time you respect, treasure, admire, love My Creation gives Me thanks for the gift of your heart that treasures these things. 

Your heart is not cold to all around you and what a blessing that is to you because then you are able better to participate in this World I have Created, to be one with what I have put into this World.

You are connected by a compassionate, concerned heart. 

Is that not a gift from Me?  You are not aloof from Creation, but caring for Creation as I have asked you to do. 

So you saw the single icicle and praised Me for it because you get to enjoy it and
learn from it and yet marvel at it. 

You saw the picture of beached dead whale and though it is death there had been life fully lived in the great oceans. 

You may never get to see such a creature up close, so even death brings its moments of wonder and awe. 

St. Joseph, thank you for being in my day, today. 

You welcome me Lord

(You welcome me Lord)

My People all around look to hear My Voice.  Let My Words reach their eyes and ears.

My Words are the only medicine they need for their tired, hungry souls.

Let them not be frustrated in the looking, but assured when these Words of Mine reach their souls. 

These Words are for each and every day.  They ignite the soul to do good and avoid evil.

They satisfy a searching heart. 

Do not hitch your ambitions to anything that is fleeting, and all is fleeting in this material world.

Brilliant people come and go.  Kind people come and go.  I am the ALL that remains constant in Loving and Leading you.

Tell Me what you want in your life, then let Me tell you what I want for your life.  Perhaps yours is a fleeting fancy, but Mine is not.

I want your soul grounded, anchored in Me.   I am not fleeting!

There is more power in My Name, Jesus, than there is in any storm!

I do not come to create a storm in your life, but to give good life to the storms in your life.

I come so that you might have life and to the fullest.

So, grab a moment whether in the middle of a storm, or the stillness of night, and invite Me to abide in you.

Have you heard these Words before?  It does not matter.  I will faithfully repeat and repeat them so you will know how constant is My Message of Love for you.

We never tire of hearing we are loved from those around us. 

Well, I am all around you and in you if you but ask, --- wanting, desiring so much to Lead you to the Truth --- the One, True Love that outweighs, outshines them all.

How consoling to know Jesus Loves me!

But then, we throw up the question --- “How do I know He Loves me?” 

Because I, Jesus, have said so.  I, Jesus, say so.

My Love surpasses a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers.  Oh, Yes for sure.

Let Me fill your soul with the sweetness of My Words, My Love.

So, first and foremost, even if you have done it many times before, affirm to Me your intentions to let Me open your heart to My Words of Love.

Tell Me you want Me in your heart leading and guiding your every thought, word and deed.

What a morning offering this becomes!!

You are living to the fullest power and good of your free will --- to allow Me to enter your heart and allow Me to work in this World through you.

Oh my God,  Oh my God, Oh my God.

Help me Lord to do Your Will by first allowing You to open my soul to Your Wondrous Will.

My will to open my heart to Your Will does not have the same strength as me asking You to open my heart, because You know the full expanse of my heart so You are able to open the doors even further than I ever could. 

It is further humility.  To realize that I can’t do this task of opening my heart so You can enter. 

You have offered me the Grace to ask You to open my heart and that I do right now Lord.

Thank You, Lord, for removing my effort, my sometimes feeble efforts to open my heart to Your Love. 

I want You, Jesus, so in charge of my heart that You are able to open it for me. 

So, not with cast down eyes, trying to ask humbly, but with the JOY of humility I ask You, Sweet Jesus, to open my heart to Your Wondrous Love.

Help me, help me, Lord, to give You full access to my heart.

I beg You, Lord, to use the key to my heart so that it is You welcoming me into the fullness of the heart that you Created in me.
