A book of prayers to the Holy Face of Jesus

9/26/24  Children of God  Receive the Spiritual food of Grace  The Fruit of Sacrificial Love  The Mercy of the Man-god  The Manna from Heaven  The Wonder of the World  The gift of God  It is Christ Our King  Who we received in us,Now reigns in us!  The foundation of the Kingdom  The Living Stones of the Church of lights  The visible signs of the presence of God in his glory  The light of Christ is revealed in us  The veil of darkness destroyed  Purity truth and light personified in Grace and love  The reign of peace is upon us  The reign of peace is within us  Christ has come to claim his Kingdom  We reclaim the claim of John the Baptist  “Behold the Lamb of God,   behold him who takes away the sins of the world!"We are the precursor to the Savior,  so that the light of Christ is revealed to the World.     Matthew 16:28    “Truly I tell yousome who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”            

9/25/24  Have the disposition to do only  what is Good, True, and Beautiful.  This is the Virtuous Life of Grace.  Nothing in Excess or Defect, Except in Love, Which has no limits!    Psalm 138:14 (DR)  "I will praise thee,   for thou art fearfully magnified:  wonderful are thy works,   and my soul knoweth right well."  

9/25/24  Fear is Punishment!  Punishment for Self Love and lack of Trust  in God's Providence and Power, in His Mercy and Forgiveness!  Repent and Live Fearlessly!   1 John 4:16-18 (RSV)  "So we know and believe the love God has for us.  God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment,  because as he is so are we in this world.  There is no fear in love,   but perfect love casts out fear.   For fear has to do with punishment,   and he who fears is not perfected in love."   

9/24/24  Those who cling to the world are drowning in dirt.  When things become obsessions,  and consume our thoughts,  Our time,  Our efforts!  We should be swimming with saints,    Soaring with angels,  Speaking to Our God in his glory in humble prayer and intimacy!  Lift your hearts to the Heavens and all will follow!  This is the existence of peace, joy and serenity!   Psalm 68:15-19 (DR)  "Draw me out of the mire,  that I may not stick fast:  deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.   Let not the tempest of water drown me,   nor the deep swallow me up:  and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.  Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind;   look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.   And turn not away thy face from thy servant:   for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.  Attend to my soul, and deliver it:   save me because of my enemies."          

9/24/24 ​There are no small sins!  Anything that we do to deaden the Flame of Love in us is incorrigible in God’s eyes.  It separates us from God’s Divine Will in a seemingly small but very precise way!  Even our free will exercised with good intentions  is not obediently right ordered  and will always be less than God’s perfect plan and God’s perfect will.  Most importantly it separates us from the Unity and harmony and intimacy of Love.  "Through him, with him, and in him,   in the unity of the Holy Spirit,   One God forever and ever!"The Spirit and the Soul must become inseparable!  Even the smallest sin separates!  Even the most well intended free will act is disjointed  and it lacks the power and perfection   it would have in union with Jesus through His Divine Will!    Matthew 5:48 (RSV)   "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
