Pouring

May your heart pour out love into
my Heart so I may fill you up with my love.

Conversation about St. Padre Pio

God is a God of compassion. He is all that is good, and He sees us in Himself, and works to reveal Himself to us in healing kindness.

We who are caught up in sins, need to remember who He is, and to desire most fervently to feel that compassion which He wishes to give.

The gift of intercession is one in which a person is united to His compassion, His love and His longing in such a way that He can touch us, and heal us, and allow us again to be born again in Him, to become an entirely renewed person who can pour out his heart and be filled back up with His love.

It requires emptying as He experienced emptying, being brought down low and crushed into the earth, and yet intimately, fruitfully in the same Heart of Love which was Christ's. 

Give to one another what you can, and don't concern yourself so much with things you need to live, because He has preceded you into the wilderness to encounter Him pointing out what He had already placed where you needed it at just the right moment.

But if you are called to that sacrament which is compassion as Jesus was compassionate. give yourself to Him utterly, and in any case where you discover you have not yet given it to Jesus, hasten to give it to your brother, for in so doing, you will be doing it to Jesus. He never forgets a kindness nor does He ever deny us His kindness, if we seek forgiveness, because He then is able to give even more to us.

We need not worry about what we are worth, what people think of us or our deeds, or whether in any case we are acceptable, because we are always acceptable to Him.

Let these thoughts heal you and comfort you and give you soothing peace. no matter the bitterness or despair that engulfs your soul, for it will end one day and from then on, you will be with Him receiving what you desired all your life but could not name. He knows what it is; it is Him.

Our road may be trod through darkness, but our destination is the light. We may trod through suffering that is almost unbearable, but we are not bearing it alone, for Jesus knew from the cross, that you would endure suffering, and joined it to His to bury it in His Heart so that it would be remembered forever, and so he may give you His love and His compassion because He wished you to be redeemed forever.

And He gifted someone with compassion with which to stand in your place of desolation to intercede for you and for your freedom. No one is alone in the world, there are millions in the world in any given moment. You are not alone in the world, because Jesus is everywhere at all moments and will always be, because He wished to be available to you to call out and weep into His hands.
