As I Hung on the Cross

                My Lord, my God, my crucified King, Your love for me and for all Your people is so vast, so deep and so pure that You gave Your life as a sacrifice to open the gates of heaven for all of us, to those who love You and to those who fail You. Oh my God in heaven, I shudder to think of the times I failed You. My heart is filled with immense gratitude for Your endless mercy. Thank You for Your patience and for always waiting for me with open arms. Lord, today I ask You to fill my soul with Your holy presence and guide me on the path of life You have chosen for me. May I always see Your guiding light and not wander off in my own blindness.

                “My dear loving child, as I hung on the Cross, I looked deep into your soul knowing that My blood would wash you clean for every time you wandered away from Me. As I hung on the Cross, I looked into all My people’s souls - past, present and future, and I let My blood flow for all of them. My Father’s will of the beauty of eternity with all My children gave Me the resolve to endure the Passion. My Father’s will was that we all dwell together in peace, in harmony, in bliss, in pure love.

                “Look for My beams of light as you walk on earth. I dwell in everything I created. Look with the eyes of Your soul, not just your human eyes, and you will see more of Me. As I dwell in you, I dwell in all My people so as you meet with them, speak to them like you are speaking to Me for I am in them. Love them as you love Me for I am in them. Forgive them for their failings, their wanderings, their blindness just as I have forgiven you for I am in them. My people are meant to be together, it is how I created them, to love each other like My holy Trinity. I did not create my people to be alone. Together, people can share My love, letting it flow freely between them and all those around them. That flowing love melts in with My love for them and for all. Let the current of love flow fast, free and strong. Do not create any dams that block that love. Let it flow to Me the way the creeks and rivers all flow to the vast oceans. I am the ocean of love. Follow the current and you will end up in My heart.”            

Eternal Symphony

                My Lord, my God, my heavenly King, I rest peacefully in Your presence, knowing that You are here with me. I am so grateful that You listen to my prayers. You must hear so many prayers all the time from all over the world and over all spans of time and yet I know that You are here now listening to my tiny voice. You amaze me and I sit in awe.

                “Dear tiny voice, your prayers are like sweet music to Me. The prayers of all My people are like a symphony to Me. I long for there to be more people praying and adding to this symphony. In heaven, there is constant music and singing and it is all in beautiful harmony and perfectly synchronized as all My people sing praises to Me constantly. I love the sound of blended prayers. All My people will dwell in this music in heaven for eternity.

                “You wonder how this world you live in has become so out of tune. It’s because so many people have stopped praying and others have rejected Me completely. When I hear a rejection of Me, it is like a smash on a piano or a twang of a string when it breaks. There is no harmony at that instant. What brings it back in tune are the prayers of the faithful. So always pray. Pray more to help re-tune My symphony. The musical score of My faithful is always changing, adding and subtracting people. Pray, pray, pray, bang the gongs of the heavenly drums. The song of prayers is both uplifting and soothing at the same time. You will hear it one day My little one and you too will rest in its melodious tone. You are part of an eternal symphony that continues in rhythm with all My people’s prayers.”

When Pride Whispers in Your Heart

                 My loving awesome protector and Lord, I sense Your sheltering touch in this world that has chosen to oppose You. I cringe and run to Your Blessed Sacred Heart and bury my head in Your embrace. Why must Your people fight You so? Why do they try to live in this world with illogical morals and in a way where every person is a lord and master of himself? Why do they shy away from Your love and protection? It breaks my heart.

                “Dear crying child, let Me hold you and assure you that all will be fine. You are safe with Me because you love Me. You know that My ways are for My people’s benefit and are designed out of intense love for all of you. Not everyone sees it that way. Pride is an insidious infection that slowly whispers, ‘You are better than that,’ which turns their gaze from Me to themselves. It is a slow process, one that breaks My heart every step of the way as My beloved people no longer look up into My loving gaze. Their eyes shift side to side as they look to other things to follow and find satisfaction. It is just like when Adam and Eve listened to the serpent who set doubts in their hearts. They could have ignored him but their pride bubbled up and mingled with the serpent’s false promises. These false promises are where the hearts of many people have turned. They don’t trust in My promises and they don’t believe in Me. That breaks My heart. Imagine your children saying, ‘You don’t love me’ to you and nothing you say can change their minds. It is heartbreaking and what’s worse, that line of thought only brings more misery. There is no true happiness and joy without Me, that is all I want for My children, and yet so many reject Me.

                “Do not fret My child, it will all be set right one day. Please come to Me often with your loving heart. I will hold you tight and bring you comfort and you will comfort Me as well for My heart is hurting too. Together, we will be strengthened in love and you will be fine. I love you my darling and will always shelter and protect you in that love.”

Step Out of the Shadows

                My Lord, my God, my protector, my victor over life and death, I run to the shelter of Your arms and hide in the shadow of the Cross. Sometimes, this world and some of the people in it make me cringe as I imagine You seeing it all. Your good designs have been turned upside down and rejected. Oh my God, You died on the Cross to save us all, so why does this world shrink away from You and why do some people choose to follow illogical leaders and policies? I trust in You, I know You are watching over all of us and that You will not abandon us but how far do You let Your sheep wander?

                “Oh My trembling child, step out of the shadows and dry your tears, I am here and when you stand with Me, we are invincible because I offer love for eternity. Your yes to My invitation arms you with My protection. No, it won’t be easy and yes, I shed tears as well but when you stand with Me and shed tears with Me, you bring Me joy and keep the flames of My eternal love burning bright. Those flames protect you My child, do not let them smolder in fear, sadness or uncertainty over the world. All is as it should be and all will make sense to you one day. Remember, time is for My people but for Me, time does not exist, I see all from the beginning. There is no end, I see My creation in a circular loop, not in a linear time scale. Trust in Me My child. I will protect you and do not give up on anyone or anything for if you do, you limit My work. Together with our hearts joined, we can do so much more. Step out of the shadow trembling child and see what our love can accomplish.”
