You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another.

John 15:16-17

Douay Rheims Roman Catholic Bible

Forgiveness Ignites Resplendence

vengeance
drowns beauty
steals  hope
casts minds and hearts
deeper into
murky sinuous aimless paths
helplessly trapped in
anger's icy piercing grip 

forgiveness
ignites resplendence
restores holy embraces
and dancing hearts
releases hearts and minds

 clearing the glorious way
towards Heaven
with freedom
 to celebrate 
the joy of Christ's Infinite Love

 
 "See that none render evil for evil to any man.
But ever follow that which is good 
towards each other and towards all men.
Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing.
In all things give thanks, 
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you all"
1 Thessalonians 5:15-18
Douay Rheims Roman Catholic Bible

A Beautiful Strawberry Day

 

Jesus and Mary miraculous peace

 Praying the Rosary

Walking with Jesus and Mary

Holy and miraculous Peace

In the midst of any storm

 Puedo hacer todo en Cristo que me fortalece

Filipenses 4:13

Los Planes de Dios

"Porque yo sé muy bien los planes que tengo para ustedes,

afirma el Señor

Planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, 

a fin de darles un futuro y una esperanza." 

Jeremías 29:11

 

God Sings to His Love Into our Hearts

with Angelic songs

or crashing waves

God sings His love into our hearts

His Mercy Shall Not Depart From Thee

      Life's piercing storms cry out for attention, especially at times of personal vulnerability. We are free to rest in the comfort of quiet solitude with Jesus.  Assured of  the intercession of Mary, we never need fear abandonment.  Misfortune may come our way, but Our Lady is always true to her promise, that those who pray the Rosary faithfully shall not be overcome.

"For the mountains shall be moved 

and the hills shall tremble, 

but my mercy shall not depart from thee..."

From Isaiah 54

Prayer of Saint Bonaventure~Meditation III

"May my soul ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find thee, run to Thee

attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee,

and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy Name,

with humility and discretion, with love and delight, 

with ease and affection 

and with perserverence unto the end.
May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance!

 Jesus~my riches my delight my pleasure my joy

Jesus~my rest and tranquility

Jesus~my peace my sweetness

Jesus~my fragrance my sweet savor

Jesus~my food my refreshment

Jesus~my refuge my help

Jesus~my wisdom my portion

Jesus~my posession, my treasure

Jesus~in Whom my mind and my heart may ever be fixed

and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and forever."
Amen.

 Saint Bonaventure said, 

"He who wishes to go on advancing 

from virtue to virtue, from grace to grace, 

should constantly meditate upon 
the passion of Jesus Christ."
