                September 24, 2015

                R. God is light and in Him is no
                darkness. Even to His death on the
                cross we see Christ died in
                perfect peace –

                    Man is here to grow, to be
                the product of God's gifts working
                in him and he can be such
                a gift, indeed, to all, to his
                fellow man – when God possesses
                his soul, when God acts in
                him, when he is the instrument
                that God wants him to be in
                the world –

                    The man of God seeks the harmony
                in his soul that God wants him
                to have, a man of peace and tranquility –

                    From beneath the cross we
                see Jesus, who has suffered as
                He did and He shows us His
                crown of victory in this
                awful wickedness imposed on
                Him by the men who did this
                to Him –

                    In the world today, turned upside
                down with commotion and control,
                with anger and violence – we see
                the Mass, we can go before God
                in the tabernacle and exposed
                Eucharist and we know the
                gift of being with God.

                    Do you not see the tranquility
                of a beautiful scene of fall
                leaves on trees, reflected on a
                beautiful body of water –

                    Do you not see the mountains
                high and snow caped, against a
                blue clouded sky and see the
                reflection in a body of water
                below –

                    And men scamper beneath
                the mountain, like little
                dots – huffy and without
                purpose – serving angry hurts
                that give violence to their
                brothers –

                    Do you see at all, that God is
                light and in Him is no darkness –
                man can be so blinded by his
                dark thinking, day after day,
                year after year, a lifetime of
                rebellion against God who is
                light and peace and love –

                    Who do you serve? Who is
                your Master? The Holy Spirit wants
                to counsel us now on the
                uncertainties of life, the Holy Spirit
                wants to work in us – God wants us
                to abandon our wills to
                Him and serve Him and know
                this peace of the interior
                castle –

                    The man of anger – acting out –
                is like a raging furnace set lose
                in a beautiful forest. He
                tears down and destroys
                and his anger is full of
                fury –

                Where his life could have been
                lived – really lived to build
                the Kingdom of God – to be a witness
                to Christ –

                    He is like Whisler's Mother
                on the stage of life – He
                doesn't stop at his indigence
                under the heaven above to
                turn things upside down
                in a quiet shock and
                the heaven blush for
                God is light and He shows
                us the cross –

                God, the Son of God, died
                in peace –
                He is the suffering servant –
                He is the Divine Almighty God –
                He came to give love –
                He came to serve –
                He came to teach –
                He came the servant of men –
                He came in love –

                And in the violence of men
                    they did every wicked
                    abuse to the Son of God –
                    tearing His limbs –
                    spitting on Him –
                    hanging Him on a tree
                    and Jesus obeyed the
                    Father's will despite all
                    they did in their wicked
                    anger –

                    Jesus died in perfect peace
                    on the cross –

     

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusI Died In Peace

August 31, 1993

Jesus: You are hurried. Relax and soak in My peace. Only My peace will quiet you. Your days are full of changes. You are adapting well, but always come back to My peace. Breathe in Jesus, out anxiety and fear. In Jesus, out anxiety. Quiet your mind and focus just on My face. See My sorrowful face, see Me with thorns. Bring yourself back to the Passion. It is because of you and your sins I suffered and died for all My children. How great is My love for you that I would die for love of you. Think of this-that you have a friend Who died for you. Oh, how I love, how I long to be with you to tell you of My infinite love for you. Your human minds cannot even comprehend My Divine love! In your deepest meditation you couldn't come close to all the love I have for you. But you must keep trying to know and feel this love. This is your salvation. This is what sets you free in a world of hate. You can always be drawn back to My love and know it is waiting for you always. It never stops. It is infinite. This is what comforts your troubled soul. When they scorn you and mock you, think of Me loving you. I am the all-perfect love. Always come back to Me. Don't let the world get to you. I am here, with peace, love, joy, rapture, being connected to your heart so divinely. I love you so much! I wish you would totally feel this love the way I want you to.

The only way you can experience Me more is to let go of the world more. In this bustling world, My peace reigns. It is in the quiet of your heart. It is within you and you can stay connected at every moment. You never have to lose this peace no matter what goes on around you. You can be a pillar of peace because I am peace. I am joy. I died in peace and dignity. My peace was not shattered even to death. You can experience this peace if you stay in Me. It is My gift I give you. Remember I was at peace at My death. You are being strengthened in your trials. You are growing in My peace. You are learning not to shatter to anything, that if you stay rooted in Me I never leave you and you remain at peace though the earth be shaking. For I am He Who lives in you. You can have this same consistency, but you must stay so connected to Me every minute, every second. Breathe in Jesus, out fear. Look at My face. It is there for you. Look and see Me, I am your rock. You will not falter or fall on your face. Your heart is rooted in My peace and My love. It is consistent, it is everlasting, it is intense and it is My gift to My children who remain fixed in Me. I love you.

Isaiah 50: 5-9

Third song of the servant

Lord Yahweh has opened my ear 
and I have not resisted, 
I have not turned away. 
I have offered my back 
    to those who struck me, 
my cheeks to those 
    who plucked my beard; 
I have not turned my face away 
from insult and spitting. 
Lord Yahweh comes to my help, 
this is why insult has not touched me, 
this is why I have set my face like flint 
and know that I shall not 
    be put to shame. 
He who grants me saving justice is near! 
Who will bring a case against me? 
Let us appear in court together! 
Who has a case against me? 
Let him approach me! 
Look, Lord Yahweh is coming 
    to my help! 
Who dares condemn me? 
Look at them, all falling apart
like moth-eaten clothes

 

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

   Wisdom 2: 12, 17-20

Let us lay traps for the upright man, since he annoys us 
and opposes our way of life, 
reproaches us for our sins against the Law, 
and accuses us of sins against our upbringing. 

Let us see if what he says is true, 
and test him to see what sort of end he will have. 
For if the upright man is God’s son, God will help him 
and rescue him from the clutches of his enemies. 
Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, 
and thus explore this gentleness of his 
and put his patience to the test. 
Let us condemn him to a shameful death 
since God will rescue him—or so he claims.’

 

Psalm 54: 3-7

Arrogant men are attacking me,
bullies hounding me to death,
no room in their thoughts for God.    Pause

But now God is coming to my help,
the Lord, among those who sustain me.
May their wickedness recoil on those who lie in wait for me.
Yahweh, in your constancy destroy them.

How gladly will I offer you sacrifice,
and praise your name, for it is good,
for it has rescued me from all my troubles,
and my eye has feasted on my enemies.

 

James 3: 16 - 4: 3

Wherever there are jealousy and ambition, there are also disharmony and wickedness of every kind; whereas the wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it is also peaceable, kindly and considerate; it is full of mercy and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partiality or hypocrisy in it. The peace sown by peacemakers brings a harvest of justice.

Where do these wars and battles between yourselves first start? Is it not precisely in the desires fighting inside your own selves? You want something and you lack it; so you kill. You have an ambition that you cannot satisfy; so you fight to get your way by force. It is because you do not pray that you do not receive; when you do pray and do not receive, it is because you prayed wrongly, wanting to indulge your passions. 

 

Mark 9: 30-37

After leaving that place they made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know, because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, 'The Son of man will be delivered into the power of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.' But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.

Who is the greatest?

They came to Capernaum, and when he got into the house he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the road?' They said nothing, because on the road they had been arguing which of them was the greatest. So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.' He then took a little child whom he set among them and embraced, and he said to them, 'Anyone who welcomes a little child such as this in my name, welcomes me; and anyone who welcomes me, welcomes not me but the one who sent me.'
