Messenger:
I want to be so deeply united to God
to be one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit —
to know the center of oneness —
the fire of God's love —
Impart to me, oh God, the gift
of detachment that my weary soul can
but rest in Thee —
that the peace of my soul rests in
pure love —
An army can fight devils — but I
want the peace and joy of knowing
the power of Your love —
The refreshment of heaven —
the depth of the sea —
Your sea of love that has no depth
or breath, but is endless.
I see a light beyond all imaginings —
I see reality in knowing the
oneness of Your love.
Peace and sacrifice
Joy and contentment, amongst turmoil —
sin — rebellion, selfishness
and lack of peace.
Peace that is found in knowing
the crucified Lord
Peace that is known in the
resurrection —
Peace that is such a reality in
my soul — I reach for Thee and
know Peace amongst turmoil —
I know the ever lasting embrace
of the Divine God.
Families are to be likened to this
peace — where they rest secure
in the embrace of God the endless
fire of His love — beyond all our
imaginings —
Refreshment for the tired soul.
Solace despite trial.
Comfort in adversity.
Peace and Joy in the embrace of the Trinity.
Meditating on the presence of the Divine
God so intimately in the Eucharist.
Thanking God for the power given to a
priest.
Enough is enough you say — for I walked a
dark night of pain and the shadow of the
light was my rear guard and foreguard
and I could stay only so long in
the dark tunnel — knowing the
reality of Your embrace — the fullness
of Your love that is Yours to give me in
heaven.
A snake is slippery and wiggly and wants
a way and the ground can be
its dwelling —
A star stays plastered against the
dark sky and its light is a fire —
it shines despite the fact it is
surrounded by darkness.
My soul can be gripped on the sides
by trials and discomforts, but never
does His light not shine from
my center —
Always an awareness of things beyond —
so real to me —
I rest in Thee as one opening a bath
of warm comfort in the middle of
torrential rains —
Never is the reality of heaven and its embrace
distant from my soul —
Cry out oh Jerusalem for your Savior
is with us today.
The Light has risen in the East.
The Sun stealing away in the West.
But the clock turns by the hands of
God and never does it stop for
me — the reality in darkness and
light is the rear and foreguard
of my soul —
Light following darkness
darkness giving way to light —
barrenness and fruitfulness —
not ever far behind —
The fruit of heaven is constant —
it can spring thus from
the barren land —
Its fruits so succulent as one
beautiful tree after the long
barren winter —
Rise up Jerusalem the Savior has come —
Night is no more — for the things of
this life are passing —
Now reach with the knowledge of your
soul — little shoots left from
Adam —
for your Savior has come to you
and washed you in His Blood —
He has paid for your salvation, a precious
price —
Jesus speaks:
Where were you when I called young one —
to bring you your gifts — you were
strung out wrapped in cloths
that were binding you and the rag
around your eyes — was blinding
you from My Light, but now
fair one —
As a summer's morning — I open the
porthole and you see the refreshment
of fire from My Heart — peering
in your once darken window and
Like a sleeping doll you get up —
shaking off your sleep to a
glorious morning —
Do you not grow tired of the dark
hole — satan trapped you in, but
child — you walked in and you
wear your darkest blindfold —
You cry misery and complain and I stand
by the hole and wait for you to
quit your wailing and come out
to be carried away by the
Divine Bridegroom —
the one waiting for you — like one
courting a lass who was afraid —
But child you were not afraid — you
walk into misery and cry a while and
take your eyes off of Me waiting
with the love you seek and fills you —
Oh baby — whine and complain no more —
Your Savior is the Light of the morning —
The star to the dark night
The constancy your soul seeks —
You bind yourself in burial rags for
no reason, but to whine a while and
even in the trials — I never leave
you — not for one moment — not
for the batting of an eye.
Come away with Me and taste the refreshment
of My everlasting embrace —
A song of joy I sing — you plug
up your ears and play sad songs —
Like one putting a record on a phonograph.
Grapes can be bitter and yet they can make
a sweet wine —
How is this you say —
Oh child I am the Divine God —
my grapes never give you bitter wine —
your tongues tastes your whining heart
you give into sadness when
The King waits by your dark hole —
day and night and you embrace the darkness and
hide yourself from My light —
For no reason — stop crying — take off your
robes of doom — shout My gifts to
the hungry babies.
Time is nigh.
Wait no more — the babies are waiting the milk
of salvation —
their little mouths are longing to be
fed.
Their ears are open —
Their hearts ready —
You are like a wailing woman —
Come to My Feast child — taste the
succulent Feast of the Savior —
Weep no more —
Your Savior has come —
Let me wrap you in the robes of salvation.
Amen, Alleluia.
Come away with Me —
Rest in My Heart and
Know the Father's love —
Be filled with the Spirit —
Stop and focus on this —
God dwelling within your soul —
Father, Son and Holy Spirit —
dwell in you —
Light child — reach for the light
pick the high grape —
not the one dirty and dragging the ground
My grapes are sweet —
I feed you My Body and My Blood —
Meditate on this —
My love for you —
the reality of Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwelling in your soul —
Let go — experience this peace —
put everything out of your mind and
go to this refuge place in your
heart —
see the light there —
know God alive in you
Live in My love
The Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
