FROM THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND
MARY AS THEY LIVE IN MY HEART

The Holy Spirit is my friend. I envision the red room with burning embers. I told the Holy Spirit I just want to love Him so much. He wrapped me in His love. I focus on the presence of the Holy Spirit. He is a Spirit. He wants my love and wants to be intimate with me. I focus on the presence of the Spirit as a Person. I want to tell Him how I love Him! I lay my head on the chest of Jesus and enter into His Heart through His pierced side.

There is such burning in my chest to behold You, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The world stands still, and in a moment, I catch a glimpse of eternity.

Every priest should be like Christ. To be one in Christ should be his goal. Christ should be his model, nothing less than that. What an honor to be a priest and celebrate Mass! The greatest calling for any man is to be called to the priesthood.

People are hungry for God. The people are fed through the Sacraments, the Mass, and the Church. The people should love the priest for they are fed through his hands.

I love the Church because it feeds me. I am hungry, and I love the hand that feeds me and nourishes me with His divine life, with the Bread of Life.

We are hungry for the love of God. He feeds us with His Word. He gives us His own Body and Blood. Jesus said, "…Feed my lambs…Feed my sheep." (Jn. 21:15-17)

He is the innocent Lamb led to the slaughter. Now He gives us His Body and His Blood. (God, Himself, is slaughtered).

He is the Bread of Life. The lamb, that was sacrificed, gives Himself to us this day to feed us. He feeds our starved souls with His life. He feeds us in the Scriptures-the Living Word. He feeds us with the Living Bread come down from heaven. We must give an account of the Good News: Jesus has died. He has risen, and He lives in us. He is alive in us!
