                    Therefore the focus of man is to some
                day see God face to face in heaven.

                    Stripped of all our fears we may get
                down to the heart seeking to love, to give
                to be more as God wants us creatures.

                    But I see now how God allows me to
                struggle and suffer — He wants me to
                choose Him as I am stripped more and more
                of things — He wants me to be in union
                with Him for love of Him, to purely choose
                His will more and more, to let go of inordinate
                attachments and choose Him.

                    In the saints lives some of their greatest
                writing was done in exile — God wants me to
                do His plan — it is certain to me — when the world
                does not comprehend more and more the picture I
                know of heaven and why we are here — I write
                because I know God wants me to — to me in
                the ecstasies He has enveloped my soul and let
                me know God very deeply — In these experiences
                He wrote this knowledge on my soul — a peeking
                into heaven — a looking in the cracks —
                a knowing of the oneness of God and a deeper
                oneness with the Persons of the Trinity —
                More and more the mystery of God becomes a reality
                to me — something to be grasped at as I
                travel my journey to greater knowledge of
                the vision of God and my way to Him —

                    I know relationship with God — Our weak
                tendencies — the imperfections of the wounded
                human nature separate us a people who
                were created to unite in love — the blindness
                we have keeps us from knowing God more and
                more as we could and with daily reception
                of the Eucharist and daily adoration He gives
                us a greater sharing in His life as He outpours His
                grace out to those who are ardently seeking Him.

                    I am on my journey to Him, seeking more
                and more my oneness with Him — knowing God in
                my soul —

                    Reaching and longing —
                    The other end of the book end —
                    Jesus loved me so much He carried the
                        cross for my sins

                    Jesus is the lover — we may try to find here
                        in another human person and never
                        find
                    Jesus knows us
                    Jesus loves us so much He died for us
                    God gives me a sharing in His life in
                        baptism
                    God wants relationship with man — AWESOME
                    Jesus is the perfect love — He gives us His
                        body and blood to be more deeply one
                        in Him
                    How can we treat this gift without such
                        gratitude and
                    Realizing more and more — How Jesus feeds us
                        with Himself

                When He said the Good Shepherd laid down His
                    life for His flock —
                    He means just that
                    Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, the Son of God
                    took flesh and gave Himself on the cross for
                    my sins.

                To ponder God's love in the incarnation could
                    take a lifetime — Is Christmas about
                    looking for selfish love and gifts "me, me"

                Christmas is about gratitude
                Christmas is about the gift of the Savior —
                Christmas is about humility —
                    the God-made-man comes a baby in
                    a human, sinless creature — the
                    Virgin Mother
                Christmas is about the Spousalship of the
                    Divine God, the Holy Spirit, and the Virgin
                    Mother

                Lets study God and His ways
                Lets thank God
                Lets do it His way —
                Lets talk about renewal

                A birthing as Jesus called it

                We are being formed more and more in the
                    image and likeness of Jesus as
                    we dwell in the Immaculate
                    Heart of Mary and the Holy Spirit
                    works in bringing us forth children
                    of light — molded more and more in
                    the image of Jesus —

                We go to heaven to see God face to face,
                    but we are molded more and more —
                    in greater purity, in His image
                    and likeness

                We eat His body, we drink His Blood —
                    we are saturated more and more with
                    His grace — His life in us

                We seek the truth
                We will know the truth
                The Holy Spirit counsels us
                The Church is to lead us in the truth

                The Eucharist, Confession, sacraments,
                    are a source of having His grace
                    poured out to us.

                Eve ate the apple and Adam followed
                    and we have suffered, but
                    God gives us Himself —
                The New Adam and
                Mary is the New Eve
                Jesus saved us from our sins.

                The Father wants the world where
                    families are recognizing Him and His
                    will - where - little children are
                    knowing God from babies.
