"The more faithful we are to our spouse, Christ, and the more that we seek to love Him above anyone else, the more that others will see that love in our eyes and the better THEY will be able to love. The pattern will keep repeating itself; it’s an outward sign and a perfect circle, just like the wedding ring."
I didnt realize i used yesterdays quote twice in the same week! oops! Well GOd mustve wanted me to remind errone, what one simple 'i do' had done. The simple obidence, faithfulness and trust that took place. This quote is i guess a continutation to yesterdays. The closer we get ot Jesus, by praying the rosary, going to daily mass, developing a prayer life, the more and more we fall in love w/Him. I remember Mother Regina's talk bout the one sister who was dying of lung cancer. Her finals days of her life, she kept saying, 'Mother He spoils me. He's juss so good to me, He loves me so much. I dont deserve all this.' One day MOther regina asked her for a particualar prayer intention she said, 'Sister cabrini when you get to heaven, can you do me a favor and help me w/me.' The sister said, 'Oh mother, please dont have too high of a steem for me. I havent been a good religous, .' The mother said, OH sister dont say that, i dont know that you havent been a good religous, i dont know whas in your soul, i dont know what crosses you had to deal with, i dont know wha graces you had, i dont need to know any of that.'
Mother regina said softly to the sister, 'All i know is that you and Jesus are becoming more and more one.' The sister said, 'Yes MOther its true and He spoils me.' Check it, for her to be able to accept w/peace her own fraility, her own peace, her own nothiness, her own weakness and to open herself to receive and own the mercy God inidating her soul. I think this true story of this carmelite sister is a great example of becoming more and more faithful to Christ. Of course we will struggle, of course we will fail, but thas not the point. The point is to continue to be like Him to show your love to errone, so that they may see the love of Jesus in your eyes and cant but help to fall in love w/Him as well. That they will follow your lead and show their love of Jesus onto others. As the quote says, itll become a pattern, a circle juss like a wedding ring.
Its funny what interesting things you can find online. Ive been trying to look for hmm like 3 or 4 of these christian songs that was played during the SCRC track @ tower and best buy. I want them all on one cd, but the changes of that happening were slim to none. SO i tried to look if at least majority of them were on one cd, yeah that kinda happened. I almost bought two cds @ tower tonite, though whew good thing i didnt. IT was one of those 'impulse' buying move. IM glad i didnt cuz we all know how expensive tower records is!
I picked up the sign stands @ the soratorios tonite and then i went to go drop them off @ work. Well i got to work @ hm around 8pm. Well its already dark by that time. I go inside the building and its freaking pitch black so i get inside and put the signs away. When i was inside the room where i had to put them away, i saw a light was on in one of the offices. SO juss picture, youre in this building and its pitch black. I got skurred for a min. thinking wha happens if i got kidnapped or killed and died. I started ot think wha happens if durr was someone inside that office. I crept up and look into the office and saw an empty chair turned around. I dont know how that light was on, but it was pretty freaky. Then i go out and im still kinda freaked out by the light being on. That was the only office that the light turned on. I walk out thinking geez my city is pretty dark and skurry @ nite. I thought oh man thatd be crazy if someone rushed up to me and juss knocked me out. I hate going to work @ nite bymyself alone cuz its freaky.
Had a nice talk w/banne tonite about how its juss so easy to dounbt and distrust GOd. Even though we may tell us 10000 times dont worry, dont worry ive got great things lined up for you. WE still tend to go that other way, which may lead to ugliness. When i think of doubt now i always refer back to JEsus calling peter to the waters. How peter started ot doubt, and he started to sink. That stroy is kinda like the movie peter pan. How peter was trying to get them to believe, yet they had a hardtime so they couldnt fly @ first. I learned that sometimes GOd floods our soul w/graces and prayer. He gives us a taste, a small sampling to get us into garden, yet He takes it away for our own benefit cuz were not ready for it. Otherwise if we did, it wouldnt be healthly for us later on.
Something to remember~
Its not about US, its about God's goodness. The weaker we are, the more frailer we are, the more poorer we are the more He can pour Himself into us. Complete surredender is the only answer.
"And I will soar with You, Your spirit leads me on, in the power of Your love..."im done, im out God bless!
