#262 Saturday, May 3/14 Weekend of Grace, Lord Nelson Hotel, before the Blessed Sacrament.(See Me!)
Rejoice I say Rejoice.
How Blessed are those who are called to be here with Me this day. I have called and you have answered.
Your humble obedience sets the stage for your day. There are many times we are not as obedient as we should be, yet your willingness to come aside with Me this day brings mighty blessings.
I am not sure if you are looking for blessings or what blessings you are looking for.
My Blessings for you are not always your blessings for you.
You may count this or that as a blessing, and still miss the blessings I poured over you today.
I do not chide you or upbraid you, yet I so wish you to see that each moment is a blessing from Me.
Like this morning you rejoiced in the sparkle of the melting dew on the grass. And definitely it was a soul-awakening moment. But where does your soul go when it is not being bestirred to rejoice?
That’s a tricky question --- not a trick question, but a tricky question.
Where does your soul abide when it is not in moments of ecstasy?
And I don’t mean deep ecstasy, but merely in moments when it is awakened to My Presence in your life.
Is your soul ‘high’ all the time knowing it is in My Presence?
Does your soul get dragged down by the human circumstances of life?
These are interesting questions to ponder as you sit in comfort in My Most Sacred Heart.
Yet when your soul is in My Sacred Heart can it be anything but ‘high’?
You are smiling because you delight that I want to challenge you in our relationship --- not with the word but with Divine Words, Divine Wisdom, Divine Judgment.
Do you see how these questions do not disturb or perturb you?
What a great event when My Words, My Questions don’t upset you but reveal to you how generous I want to be in helping you grow closer to Me.
My Questions are not a challenge but an invitation to come to Me and find more of the Divine Person Jesus.
Notice that what appeals to your senses you want to celebrate. Like the sparkling melting dew on each blade of grass this morning. You saw God in His Creation busy changing frost to drops of water which will eventually evaporate.
Yet do we see God at work in the mud on the sidewalk? Do we rejoice that we have seen God in this muddy mess?
You look at the Blessed Sacrament in this beautiful Monstrance and it gives you joy to see this beautiful setting.
But what if there were no flowers, no sparkling monstrance, barely a clean cloth on the table would you feel as good?
Yet I am there in My Fullness both times, all times.
Does it make you more comfortable (feeling) to be in a well decored place to adore Me? If your senses are not satisfied with your surroundings, will your soul be satisfied?
Can you see beyond the trappings and just adore Me?
I want you to ‘see’ My Beauty.
Most certainly all that adorns the area – vase, flowers, candles – come from My Hand. These are the ‘beauties’ I have Created.
Yet they are not My Beauty.
I am quite separate from My Created Things.
Strip all else away and see the person of Jesus with nothing else tugging at your emotions, feelings, sight.
See Me!
You can see Me in the poor, in each person, yet I want you to be able to see Me!
Don’t let the earthly person – either rich or poor blind you to the person of Me.
You say “I see you in the poor, Jesus.”
Do you see Me in the rich too?
Ache to not see the other person and acknowledge that I am there.
Ache to see Me – discard all the trappings, either of rich or of poor and see Me.
I ache, I am eager to refine your soul so that you see the difference.
Like when you came into this small adoration room this morning were your eyes caught by Me first or did they ‘see’ the décor of the room first.
I want your soul. I want your soul to be immersed in Me.
Please ache for this blessing.
When you go to pray, Margo, and all of you who read these Words of Mine, set yourself up first and foremost in My Sacred Heart and pray from there.
You see so often we pray to My Sacred Heart, but now I invite you to say all your prayers from within My Most Sacred Heart.
So bring your soul and another’s soul (always endeavor to bring someone with you, friend, family, stranger, etc.) and pray from within My Most Sacred Heart.
So you no longer pray to Me but from within Me.
Can you see the increased power of every prayer you utter?
