Events

 

Do not be afraid of spirtual events, prodigies and manifestations, for they accompany the Lord. He will prevent you from becoming proud and distancing you from His Heart, because He so longs for it to be closer to Him.

He will give you what you do not think you can bear, and the aridity of the silent solitude that surrounds God will engulf you, and in His presence He will make you able to endure anything.

All His soldiers must be ready to enter into that Presense. They must not fear the cross or being fastened to it, because He has engulfed you in His light and His love, so that all the pitiful beings that do not love Him might be obvious and you may see Him in the difference between their darkness and His light. He burns away all that is less than Him, and all that is less than you. Oh yes, do not be afraid or ashamed that your sins accuse you, for if it were not shown, His love would appear diminished, and how brightly His light shines in one who is unafraid.

Men long for what they do not understand, for visions and swooning ecstasies, the very visions of God, but it is not the one who faints in His love or hovers unbid in the insubstantial air who is holy or who is worthy. He makes you worthy in a moment He makes, and in that moment you are worthy by His love. It is no wonder that some truly do have visions and ecstaties, because He has made the capable of enduring His lot so that the very substance of being can hover in the air and the heart melt in the fire of His Heart's love.

Pining for sorrow, the sinner beholds his offenses, but God embraces and loves unbidden so that the being before hIm becomes one by His grace, engulfed in light and love and peace. Time diminishes even what is true and real, but nothing is lost in God who whole-heartedly embraces all who love Him, even the least.

Who is afraid of what vanishes in His forgiveness? But you must love in spite of the grief you have seen. The wight of the inspportable guilt is expunged and what was hidden beneath is illuminated by love and you are left in His glory and forgets the sins.

Yes, Jesus was given us so we may be fastened too and we might experience the freedom of the soul lifted up from its sins, to encounter the love of God which could be Man and be crucified and abandoned to death, for by so doing, we will live as we have thus far never known how to live, fully free and filled with the ineffable bliss of happiness that in His deepmost Heart exists to entice the weak and wary to love Him, daring to love as they have never loved. Such love is enkindled by the Lord to attract lovers to His Heart. You must struggle in life, but the struggles are so small compared to the deeds accomplished on the Cross.

We die and who remembers us or pines in sorrow in our passing? Jesus remembers us, who  have offended Him so that none should be forgotten, but having wept for our sins and denied ourselves, we may be ready to receive what we have been made ready to receive. He is not powerless to restore us to life, but He is able to cleanse us and to make us worthy to be near Him, even to embrace Him, not afraid of any pain of wounds of crucifixion, and those who  love Him are overwhelmed by the power of His love, being remembered and sought and embraced.
