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 –
I 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. PauseBut 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.'
