Dear Lord, may our hearts find you today in our deepest sufferings may we unite them to you through the intercession of your beloved Saints Louis de Montfort and Gianna.  Amen.

On the feast of St. Louis de Monfort we should lift our hearts to Mary our Mother given to us from Our Lord during His passion and death.

If you have never heard of consecrating your heart to Mary, here is a beautiful site for you:

This post comes from a Poor Clare Colettine Sister… whatever your sorrows are today, let us draw near to the Lord that became our food and drink.  He is the Good Shepherd who is calling us by name, hear His voice.  Listen and be still before the Lord of all Glory!

 
A new day! A new grace! Oh my Jesus you make all things new!

Jesus my Eucharistic King and Beloved of my heart, I desire in the presence of this ‘newness’ to consecrate anew all that I am, totally and without reserve to you.

Bind me body and soul ever more closely with and to  your Holy Sacrament of Love.

That from the Love you pour over me I may in turn pour upon others!! 

Unless you become…

In the deepest recesses of the human heart of every grown man and woman is  a child……the child within is the most authentic part of our being, that which is without pretension, affectation, the true, the humble self……

This is the child God wants to pick up and lay upon his breast, this is the child that Mary wants to feed and nurture unto eternal life, the true little, authentic self…..

Man may strive to make all kinds of heroic efforts to please God, serve God, pray to God, but what God desires is simply our hearts and love….that gift is within the possibly of all, and that is Gods justice, wisdom and love…..

Behold the Parenthood within the Trinity… that is our mirror.

As a little child…

I have been asked about Spiritual childhood….it is a beautiful gift of grace to trust in God as a little child, and there are many words in scripture that reveal to us that we are so unto God.

To be as a child before God is totally contrary to the spirit of this world which would try and educate us in power seeking, exploitation, and self  seeking…..

A child seeks to love in simplicity of heart, it looks to those entrusted with its parenthood for all its needs….. this is how God would have us to…. why otherwise would he reveal himself as Father and also give us in his great wisdom and love a heavenly MOTHER ?

We all know times of suffering, pain and disappointment, the pain can be so deep that words fail us totally, at such times place yourself on the heart of your heavenly Mother, climb into the arms of the Father… and simply pour out your tears, for God and Mary love you , understand you as no other ever can or will.


Never fear your littleness and vulnerability it will draw Gods compassion down upon you.

Words from Saint Clare

The words of Saint Clare that mean more to me than any others are, when she was asked on her death bed to whom she was speaking she responded,

” I am speaking to my blessed soul”

Is this not why modern man is so adrift that he lost the awareness the faith, the knowledge, that he is possessed of an eternal soul ?

In old spiritual books, classics, there is often a dialogue between the writer and the soul, per example, hear O my soul, listen my soul, rise up O lord and seek, etc etc… this familiarity is lost……….It is rarely included in modern works.

This reality is one of the reasons why man so fears death, seeing himself and others as mere bodies, this lack of understanding also accounts for the fact why abortion can be so easily, by all to many, assented to, that is a total unawareness and acknowledgement of the soul dwelling in each child from conception.

Once created the soul can never be uncreated, it is a good and praiseworthy thing to cultivate a sensitivity and consciences of the indwelling of the immortal soul.

Each and every person is unique and precious to God.

LIFE ON THE ROCK

on EWTN…

If you struggle with infertility

this is a show for you!!!



What do you do if you’re Catholic couple faced with infertility?

Rather than resort to in-vitro fertilization, in which many embryos are created and destroyed, Donna and John Kurtz of Coatesville, Pa. began adopting.

They are now the parents of 21 children (17 adopted, four under their guardianship) from all over the world.

To feed, clothe and house them – and others who need help – they’ve started a non-profit organization called “Saint Joseph’s House.”
