You and me

Happy Holy Sunday everyone!
Today is so important because God our perfect Father wants to be with you!  It's so important that he wants your undivided attention because he wants to teach you,  speak to you, guide you, and fill you with so many gifts that you'll need all the angels and saints to help you carry them!  It's so important that he made it a commandment.  It's so important that he doesn't want you to work today, unless necessary, so he can do his one-on-one with you.    

Today since he wants you to rest in Him you'll have to follow His lead.   God the Almighty Father is known to be the best planner.  So we need to make this day so important to us that we do what it takes to avoid work.  So we plan like him.  We can cook, clean, stock and prep ahead making sure we are free to be with Him.  

My ideal Sunday is to first invite Mary so that she can help make it beautiful for God. I pillage through the readings of the day.  Sometimes, I understand what he's saying to me and the whole church immediately.  Sometimes I have to wrestle and I read over and over until the gift of understanding settles gently into my mind.  When that happens I feel the joy He gives me.  It usually makes me tear.  It touches me to the core.  His words are that important and it lays the ground work for my direction for the week.  I just praise and thank him for all he has done and will do, how he will be the one to take care of all my cares.  This lifts the burdens from me.  One of the biggest fears I have is the needs of my children.  I wind up saying to God, they are really your children and you are the best Father so I give it to you and I will not worry.

Going to mass, I am prepared.  I bless myself with the Holy Water and in my own words, I pledge again my baptism promises and renounce Satan and all that keeps me from Him.  Then next part is  to open my mind to whatever he wants, constantly listening attentively to each part of the mass so I can participate in mind and heart to the fullest.   I try to sing with all of my heart hymns, and I know that I may not have the best voice.  I know that He loves when we give our heart in all we do.  

After the homily, oftentimes there are similar things the priest speaks about that I would get in contemplation, but when he teaches something new I rejoice because God teaches a fresh new perspective through his priest. 

I used to see every time,  the congregation united as one with the priest at the head offering to God.  It looks like one glows upon us- indicating union.  As the priest prays I would see through him a light from his mouth ascending to the Father and when transubstantiation occurred I would see a powerful flood of light coming down from heaven.  I don't see it anymore, but I will myself to see it because it's true. So I imagine it.  

The best part of all - Communion.  As I walk up to him to receive, it's like walking up to my bridegroom. I receive him.   I have to proclaim in my heart that God and all of heaven is in me.  I have God's power to do his Will!  I praise Him for He wants to be in me.  O Lord, what kind of goodness is this, this complete Charity of the greatest Good offered us, yet many don't acknowledge your majesty!  

I share this with you because He told me to bring souls into closer union with him, and I just don't know how to do it other than sharing my experience.  Please make this day as important to you as it is to Him.  I've seen people refuse to do other pleasurable worldly things saying, "This is important to me."  I find that so beautiful. Yes, being in his presence is so beautiful. COMMUNION IS BEAUTIFUL.

I don't think you can find a CEO, a President of a nation, a celebrity willing to be with you like God!  He gives you so many gifts as long as you empty your soul so he can lay them in there.  If you are full of yourself, he has no place to lay the gifts down.  

"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, 
and has lifted up the lowly. 
He has filled the hungry with good things, 
and the rich he has sent away empty."

I love you all and have the best time with our Father!
