If I could have my Heaven today...

If I could have my Heaven today, I would spend today in silence in Awe of God's creatures.

If I did not have my daily duties to accomplish, I would help and pray for those that need it.

If I weren't so tired, I could get more done for our Lord!

If I were smarter, I could think up new ways to spread God's love and mercy!


But since I do have daily duties to fulfill, and I am tired, and I am not smarter, I guess You will have to take over for me today

God! God says: "You should always let Me lead you, for only I know if tomorrow's duties exist or not. Give until it hurts, work

until your hands bleed, for you are My hands on earth, I speak through your heart and mouth, never doubt My inspirations, for

if they are not from Me, no fruit will they bear. Prepare a place in your heart for me where only I will dwell, everything else

does not matter for it passes away with time and wind. I am the only "I am" constant and secure, place all your trust in Me and

you will be as immovable rocks on the shore. Do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today, for tomorrow will happen

but only I know where you will spend your day and night. The time draws nearer every day when I will ask you: Did you see Me

in the crowd? Did you see Me in your struggles, in your friends, in your enemies? Did you feed me, give me drink, clothe me,

shelter me? Did you prepare a place for My Mother? All of these questions and more will be asked of you, do not waste time on

things that do not matter, I have your best interest at heart, even more so than yourself. Ask Me for an increase of virtues,

and I shall grant it, but you must Ask! Now go, and do My Will!"

May God bless and protect us all during this Advent and Christmas Season! Prepare a place for Our Lady and Our Lord! Will

your place be cold, lukewarm, or on fire for His Love? It is our choice!


God love you all!

Be Not Afraid...Again!

The Lord our Father loves each and every one of us very much! Even if we stray from Him, He wants us to come running back to Him with open arms, hearts, and minds. Those around us may push and spit on us, but what does it matter when Christ is for us? Try to shift the focus from them, to yourself, and then from "me to He". Keeping our eyes focused on God is the only way to make it and persevere until the end. For it does no good to reach the prize if it is thrown away at the last minute! We must persevere until the end! Remember, the road less travelled will be narrow and rocky and maybe not as pretty, but the destination is so much sweeter, Paradise!

It can be compared to being up very high and not looking down, if we look down we become scared. So it is the same in the spiritual life and not dwelling on hurts or injuries caused by others, feel the pain, forgive, and move on. Sometimes the first step in forgiving may be wanting to forgive. The actual forgiveness may come later, but stay with our Lord, our Father, our Lover, our Friend. He knows what will happen to you everyday of your life, and He's still interested to see what happens as if He's watching you for the first time! How awesome!

Pray, Pray, Pray!

Prayer is Hand to Hand combat!

"The best way to fight the devil is by staying close to Christ in Prayer."
"The weapons of our warfare are not of this world, but mighty through God."
2 Col 10:4

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, Have Mercy on us and on the Whole World!

Jesus, Mary, we love You, Save Souls!

Go with Christ,

Erin
