Blessed Sacrament
(just say thank You!)
O Treasured Sacrament.
You hold for all of us our dear salvation. Thank You, thank You, thank You.
How gently You speak to us.
How kindly You speak to us.
How generously You speak to us.
How can I thank You?
Yet a simple thank you is enough.
How does that match Your Sacrifice Lord?
You do not have to match My Sacrifice.
Really you can’t match My Sacrifice, so do not even try.
Do not count how many times you say thank You. Cause then it is all about you!
What you do with each thank You is done unto Me.
It should not be countable!
It can’t be countable!
That is not the purpose of your thank You unless it is
striving to say more than anyone else.
Then for sure it is not about Me, but all about you.
I ask you to thank Me because it takes the light off of you
and in great humility places it where it should be.
You can do nothing.
Yet I can do ALL.
You can do nothing without My Graces and Guidance.
So each breath should call forth a thank You from your soul,
not begrudgingly, but with great affection for the God who Loves you and seeks
ALL GOOD for you.
Thank You should be our overflowing prayer.
It should take little thought.
Not that you say it recklessly but it should trip off your
tongue most willingly because you know to Whom it belongs rightly.
Your soul should be bursting to utter it because there is so
much around us that we need to be thankful for, with great joy.
Even in the midst of sadness thank You still has a firm
place in our soul and needs to be uttered.
Can you imagine how we can strangle our soul when we do not
allow it to express itself as we should, as it was Created to be --- to
naturally adore and thank its Creator, for every big and itty-bitty thing.
