#810 Good Holy Saturday, March 31/18, 8:45 a.m., at home
Wipe away your tears!
I have come with Great Joyful News.
He has Risen in your heart and in mine.
Do we dare to realize how phenomenal a news it is that “He has Risen”.
There would be no point to His suffering and dying for us if He had not Risen.
Do we thank Him each day for His Obedience to the Father’s Will?
Do we ache to plant that seed of faith in His Resurrection deeper and deeper in our souls?
Oh, how casual we are about His Resurrection.
It is not just another day, another holy day.
It is what makes it all Holy!
In obedience, He has shown us the way to Life Eternal.
We do not need to stagger around as lost souls hoping to find the solution to everlasting life.
There is no cream, no potion that will ever out-match Jesus’ Resurrection.
We try in vain to elongate our lives here on earth, not considering that we really should be concentrating on elongating our lives into, through eternity.
We may want to live longer, but rather live longer and fuller each day in the Lord.
We may want to keep our youth. Well, be as eager to be with Christ in the here and now.
Why do we consider the looks of our body, yet ignore the value and asset of a healthy soul?
O how the Resurrection should turn each of us upside down! Yes, upside down.
Shake off the old, put on the new. Do we dare put on Jesus to the detriment of all else?
Sounds like a drastic change and for some of us it may be --- but isn’t it worth it?
Start right away by inviting Me to live in your soul on a daily basis.
Now that doesn’t mean that you have to make drastic changes, yet come to think of it, for some of you, you may have to.
But what does that matter?
Are you not willing to let Me be the Center of your soul?
Just tell Me that is what you want, and it will be done.
Let’s see how many people notice.
Yet, notice, that you are not doing this to be noticed!
But you are doing this because you have finally realized that you want Jesus leading you.
So, even though others may never be able to tell, you will know and be the healthier for it.
Let’s ask Jesus to allow the Resurrection to impact us thus, Lord.
It is not just another liturgical celebration, but you want it to be a significant happening in your soul.
Tell Me you want the Resurrection to impact your soul this year.
Not for it to be a joyful Mass but far, far beyond this external feeling, to make a massive impact on your soul.
If you ask most sincerely, and you wouldn’t ask unless you were sincere, to have the Resurrection disturb your soul this year, to impact your soul, to have your soul ache for more and more of the realization of Me in your life.
Ask that the Resurrection so bestir your soul this year .
Ask that I will enter anew and stir things up in your soul.
Ask that I show you that the Resurrection goes so much deeper than tradition.
Ask Me to raise your soul this Resurrection to a new relationship with Me.
Let the Resurrection turn you upside down!
Lord, Jesus, may I experience a deeper meaning of the Resurrection this year.
