Despite having everything we need and even more that we don’t need, people are more physically, mentally, and spiritually diseased than ever before. Why? Because God has been eliminated from our hearts. We need to rediscover the God Who has never left our side. Following is just a handful of the many passages from God telling you His love for you. Let meditating on these be a start to rediscovering Him.
On Holy Thursday, sitting before my loving Lord in His Blessed Sacrament, I was privileged to pray with my mom’s Adoration Holy Hour prayer book from 1934. I felt like she was holding it with me, turning every page. The timelessness of our faith…the truth that in prayer we breach time and space as God lifts us up into His Heart to experience His love for us…the grace this brings into the world…truly there are no other people more blessed on the earth than the Catholics sitting in front of His Blessed Sacrament.
This saintly royal gave of herself tirelessly to bring God’s love to others. Friend of the poor, the prostitutes, the clergy and the saints of her time, her prayer for conversion of lost souls is timely for us today.
Humans are creatures of habit. Habits are hard to change, at least the dysfunctional and sinful ones are. After all, Jesus spent three years trying to get people to change their habitual way of thinking, and it took His death, resurrection and ascension to shift their paradigm…
On this Holy Thursday, reflect upon how Jesus loved His own in the world, and He loved them to the end. His love for you is enduring too.
