BE SATURATED IN HIS LIFE

I love You so much, sweet Jesus. I love the Blessed Sacrament. I love the Eucharist. I love each moment with You, so precious to me, each moment, every special second - tears filled with such emotion and love for Him.

We see the outside, the body, and the wounds of Jesus, but pain was felt inside - the buckling over in the chest, the sound in His ears from angry men-the scene all within the body of Christ. The scene today from the outside - looks that are hollow, that are self promoting. The looks on the face, the actions, the words spoken reflect the hearts within. The more the heart is like Jesus' Heart, the more the words will be like Jesus' words. How saturated are we in His life? How much do our actions reflect the penetration of His life within us? Is our life rooted in Him? Are our actions - His actions, acting through us, or are our actions selfish and self promoting? Do they reflect His light or the darkness coming from a starved soul?

A life rooted in Him reflects His life. A life rooted in selfish promotion reflects darkness inside. To be of Him, we must die to self and live in Him. The struggle we have experienced has caused us to rejoice in new life.
