(Give it to Me)
I am real. I am really Present in the Blessed Sacrament. I am not a white wafer. I am Truly the All of Jesus Christ.
Let Me speak to you in God Loving Words. Let Me calm all that seems to stir within. Let Me show you My Power, My Peace, My Forgiveness.
Tell Me what is making you un-peaceful. Give it to Me.
Tell Me what you can’t forgive. Give it to Me.
Tell Me what bestirs your heart to give you unease. Give it to Me.
Give Me the hangnail, splinter, blister, paper cut, sore throat, hurting muscles. Give it to Me. Do not ask Me to heal or cure them. Yet know, deep in your heart, that I will tenderly care for each one.
A lost ring, broken window, spilt milk, frozen pipes --- give them, each one of them to Me.
Do not insult Me by saying they are not important enough to give to Me.
So what do you keep for yourself and what do you give to Me?
Remember, you are not giving them to Me to fix and make all better. You are giving them to Me most willingly knowing I will care for them because I care so much about you.
A flat tire, a leak in the pipes, a burnt cushion – give each one to Me.
It does not mean that you don’t have to take care of the particular item – i.e. call a garage to have your tire fixed, but before you do that, give it to Me.
I want your starting point to be Me, and your middle point to be Me, and your end to be Me.
If you do it all on your own, you will not be inclined to express praise and thanks to Me for helping you. You most likely will think you did a pretty good job all on your own!
Need new boots --- give it to Me.
Need help settling an argument --- give it to Me.
Need to reduce your blood pressure --- give it to Me.
Your act of giving is not a foolish move.
Your act of giving all to Me shows the understanding you have acquired from the Holy Spirit in action.
Your giving gives you a chance to step back, take a breath and thus lower your bp and anxiety.
Your giving gives Me a chance to shed a new, fresh light on the situation so you don’t go around lost and angry.
Give Me your every breath. Surrender your eyesight to Me. Give Me your sense of smell and touch so you can learn more about My World.
Be with Me in My Way.
Give all concerns to Me. Cast none aside as unimportant.
I want the all of you, so do not short change me. Do not hesitate to give the All of you to Me. Break it down into small, tiny pieces if you want, or give Me one large hunk of you.
Give Me your vision of the Blessed Sacrament.
What do you physically see?
What do you want to see?
You ache to see the real Me, but you do not like to see Me through the white wafer before you.
You want to see the Real Me. Yet if we truly believe, we see Me in the white wafer.
Our eyes transcribe it to our brain as a white wafer. Yet our souls know that I am Truly Present in this form.
Don’t use your imagination. Anyone can imagine this or that, rather believe that I can be Really Present in this white wafer – no matter what your physical eyes tell your brain.
I want you to jump with both feet into your spiritual being and let that part of you not seek the vision of Me as you have seen in paintings, but the heart and soul of Me.
Ache for this Grace. Not to trust your eyes, but to believe from the depths of your soul that I am Truly Present.
So you see, the more that you Give to Me daily of you and all that happens in your day, the more you feed your soul with Me and My Presence, the more you are in close contact with Me.
Look and see how much we use our eyes each day. Wouldn’t it be great if we used our souls as often?
Your eyes reveal My Creation. Yet your soul shows you how to live in My Creation ---with lots and lots of love.
Which serves you better? For even if you are blind your soul shows you how to live with Love in the World.
You do not have to see My Creation to know it is all around you. Yet you have to nourish your soul so that it will lead you well in My Creation.
Remember when you leave the chapel you do not leave Me behind. Take the Good News you have heard from Me during this visit and invest it in the World. Go forth in Peace.
You see, if I say “Go in Peace” it is as if I am dismissing you from My Presence. I rather say “Go forth in Peace” – i.e. take Me with you.
God Bless your day. Do not let anything that happens escape from My Tender Touch – give it all to Me.
Jesus Loves me. I am God’s Beloved One. Alleluia.
