He took and recieved my life...but I received more

There came a time in my life when all my ideals  were shattered.  There was a time in my life when my fever (like Peter's mom's) was a deep, deep depression and blindness and Jesus put his hand on me, through Blessed Mother's intercession...and I was healed in a profound instant.  I was up and running, waiting on people (again like Peter's mother) the new word was SERVICE.  My daily bread was serving Jesus in the people I saw.  I felt the joy in my heart as I followed a new ideal just because I fell in love with LOVE.

I no longer had the need to follow the direction people were going...but to follow the Will of God as he seared the direction into my heart.  Even though oftentimes it is NOT  popular.  He wants his children retrieved from the danger they are heading as they are led on the wrongful path of destruction...

Jesus, I will follow you into the garden of Gethsemane, I will accept the scourges and put your painful crown on my head and carry the cross, because, with you in the lead, it can only lead to everlasting life.  May I in some small way console your beautiful perfect Heart.  Your Heart captured my heart.

"Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my whole will, all that I have and all that I possess. You gave it all to me, Lord; I give it all back to you. Do with it as you will, according to your good pleasure. Give me your love and your grace; for with this I have all that I need." -St Ignatius

Take my face into your hands, and hold it so that my eyes are only fixed on your eyes, and my peripheral vision becomes blind.
