not success but Service!

#1022  Sat. Aug. 31/19   7;45 am,  at home

I cry for those who do not know Me.  I so want them to know Me.  Won’t you spread the word of My Saving Power?

You see, I can’t do this on My own.  Yes, I have the Power to Save which you do not have.  But the flow of Creation means we have to rely on each other to spread the Good News.

I direct and you act.

Do not look for BIG, IMPORTANT roles, but rather promise Me you will do the smallest task with Great love.

That is what really counts.  Your love which can only come from the fact that you realize how Loved you are.

When we are tied up in “me, me, me” you cannot spread the Good News.

Endeavor to ask Me to snuff out the “me” center and replace it with the “Lord” center.  You will then do ALL for the sake of Me and nothing for the sake of “me”

Do you see what I mean?  Do not put yourself at the center of your words and actions.

Let Me be the Center --- then you do not need to worry if you have said it right or have impressed anyone.  It will not matter.

If/when you follow Me there is no longer any concern about the other “me” – you !

Toss off any idea of success and put on the humble robe of Service to the Lord.

Nothing that you will do will be done for success.  It will all be done for Me and thus may not seem to be successful at all.

Yet, rest assured, that anything done in humble service to Me does not need success as its banner.

hunky dory

#1021   Tues Aug. 27, 1pm, St. T. Blessed Sacrament  (blk book)

Come and Be in My Presence.  Now that does not mean that you have to come from miles away or even from a few blocks away.

It is really for you to see that I call you to Come away from whatever you are doing, watching, talking about and BE with Me.

So, really there is no excuse that you can ever use that can keep you from coming aside from what you are doing and BE with Me.

What if I am really sick you ask?  Good question.  Just ask me for the Grace to BE with Me and perhaps you will see that you will BE with Me in My Suffering.

Everything does not have to be hunky dory for you to come aside.  Otherwise you will use that as an excuse for not coming aside.

Ask Me to Call you whenever, and then ask Me to give you the Grace to respond to each invitation I extend to you.

ache to be obedient

#1020   Tues. Aug. 27/19 10:30 am,  St. T.  Before the Blessed Sacrament (blk book)

Obedience pays it forward.  When you are obedient, others can reap the rewards.

Now, I do not ask you to look for these rewards, nor do I ask you to fill your pride by thinking that your obedience to Me rewards others, so that must mean you are doing good for others.

Please jump out of that thought process.  Just ache to be obedient to My Will and let all else fall to the side.

Thank Me that you have received the Graces to be obedient.  Thank Me that I have Graces for others which you do not know or have to know.

Silence the questioning in your mind. Do not question why I ask you to be obedient, but praise and thank Me that I do.

pickey and choosey

#1019  Aug. 21/19,  12:10pm,  St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament (aug.missal)

Tell Me that you have come to do My Will.  That you have come to accept whatever, wherever I lead you.

You see, My Will might rip you away from your family.  Will you accept My Will or tell Me that My Will would never do that?

How do you know?

I think most people want to know My Will but are not as anxious to live out My Will. 

Like if something comes up and you do not particularly like it, do you ignore My Will for you at this moment:

But we do!

We become most picky and choosey about My Will and what part you want and what part you find hard to accept.  So you will ignore IT.

My Will runs free of any human encumbrances. 

The only reason for My Will is to bring you ever closer to Me, into a deeper relationship.
