Patiently you wait for me....

They suppressed their consciences; they would not allow their eyes to look to heaven, and did not keep in mind just judgments. Daniel 13:9

How many times have I suppressed my conscience, O Lord;

how many times have I looked the other way?

My pride is strong and I try to deceive myself, but I cannot fool you,

and my transgressions are always before me,

so I look the other way.

Yet, in spite of my sin, you stand before me,

patiently you wait, you wait for me.....

He does not call those who are worthy but those whom He pleases....

St. Therese of Lisieux

 "Dear children! I am with you even if you are not

conscious of it. I want to protect you from everything that Satan
offers you and through which he wants to destroy you. As I bore
Jesus in my womb, so also, dear children, do I wish to bear you
into holiness. God wants to save you and sends you messages
through men, nature, and so many things which can only help you
to understand that you must change the direction of your life.
Therefore, little children, understand also the greatness of the
gift which God is giving you through me, so that I may protect
you with my mantle and lead you to the joy of life. Thank you for
having responded to my call." BVM, March 25, 1990

Let Love Be Contagious

There is one ONLY THING to do here below: to love Jesus, to win souls for Him so that He may be loved.

-St. Therese

How can I look at the brilliant stars in the sky,

Watch the ocean waves crash on the shore,

admire rolling hills and mountains high

And not think of your majesty?

How can I see the young family playing all the while

hear their laughter,

watch their smiles,

and not think of you?

How can I look at the elderly couple walking hand and hand

And not think of what their years together might have to offer me;

The wisdom of age is also hope for the future.

The gift of life is so precious and your love is all around me.

Yet, I easily get distracted and caught up in my own now.

Sometimes I become the center of my own world.

In my constant busyness I become

Indifferent to the needs of others, sometimes indifferent to you.

Scripture tells me " So because you are lukewarm,and neither hot not cold, I will spit you out of my mouth" Revelations 3:16

Let that never be!

Help me to live everyday in the presence of your son, Jesus Christ,

And may the joy of your love in me be contagious to all I meet.

"Dear children! Today also I am calling you to

live and follow with a special love all the messages which I am

giving you. Dear children, God does not want you lukewarm and

undecided, but that you totally surrender to Him. You know that I

love you and that out of love I long for you. Therefore, dear

children, you also decide for love so that you will long for and

daily experience God's love. Dear children, decide for love so

that love prevails in all of you, but not human love, rather

God's love. Thank you for having responded to my call." BVM, Medjugorge, November 20, 1986
