A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

Father’s Loving Arms! 

10/24/24  Lord let me abandon myself to my nothingness,  That I may stand secure only in you!  How can my trust be complete,  without a reckless abandon of my love and trust for you,  In a manner as a little child who:  has nothing else,  Knows nothing else,  Desires nothing else,  Relies on nothing else,  God will not abandon you!  You are children, not orphans!  When love […]

Fire of Love!  

10/24/24   It is the nature of fire to enkindle first that which is closest to it!  And so it is with the Flame of Love which is the Heart of Christ Jesus!As You draw ever closer to Christ,   the Flame of perfect charity and the power of the Holy Spirit,   which is love personified,   echoes into the […]

Time and Effort! 

10/22/24   Why do we keep getting caught in the chaos?   When will our trust in God be complete?   When will we spend our time and energy in intimacy and trust,   instead of fear, and judgement and anxiety!   Perfect love casts out all fear!   We have to get off the battlefield of the dead and the […]

The Immensity of Love! 

10/18/24 I Speak now of the immensity of love.  The language of obedience in love.  The surety of redemption through love.  The merit of the soul salvation because of love.  The endurance and conviction of self sacrificing love.  All that is conquered by love.  It is fearless!  It is omnipotent!  It is glorious in its simplicity.  And it is grandeur in its unity.  It binds and bonds.  It seals and surrounds.  It is the nature of the […]

Don’t Die With the Music in You! 

10/16/24   Don’t forfeit Grace!   Don’t waste Grace!   Don’t die with the music in you!   Don’t forfeit Grace by our sinful acts,   and failure to receive the sacraments worthily,   Especially the sacrament of confession and reconciliation.   It is a cleansing and purification and absolution   necessary to receive the sacrament of the mass,    the fullness of […]

A Virtuous Life!  

9/25/24   Have the disposition to do only   what is Good, True, and Beautiful.   This is the Virtuous Life of Grace.   Nothing in Excess or Defect,  Except in Love,  Which has no limits!    Psalm 138:14 (DR)   “I will praise thee,   for thou art fearfully magnified:  wonderful are thy works,   and my soul knoweth right well.”

Precursor to the Kingdom! 

9/26/24   Children of God  Receive the Spiritual food of Grace  The Fruit of Sacrificial Love  The Mercy of the Man-god  The Manna from Heaven  The Wonder of the World  The gift of God  It is Christ Our King  Who we received in us,Now reigns in us!  The foundation of the Kingdom  The Living Stones of the Church of lights  The visible signs of the presence of […]

Self Punishing Fear!  

9/25/24   Fear is Punishment!   Punishment for Self Love and lack of Trust   in God’s Providence and Power,  in His Mercy and Forgiveness!   Repent and Live Fearlessly!   1 John 4:16-18 (RSV)   “So we know and believe the love God has for us.  God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God,  and God abides […]

No Small Matter! 

9/24/24  ​There are no small sins!  Anything that we do to deaden the Flame of Love in us is incorrigible in God’s eyes.  It separates us from God’s Divine Will in a seemingly small but very precise way!  Even our free will exercised with good intentions   is not obediently right ordered   and will always be less than God’s perfect […]

Drowning In Dirt! 

9/24/24   Those who cling to the world are drowning in dirt.  When things become obsessions,  and consume our thoughts,  Our time,  Our efforts!  We should be swimming with saints,    Soaring with angels,  Speaking to Our God in his glory in humble prayer and intimacy!  Lift your hearts to the Heavens and all will follow!  This is the existence of peace, joy and serenity!   Psalm […]
