" Come, Holy Spirit, and fill the heart of this faith-less one"
"Christ exists in all things, that, are."( Gregory of Nazianzus.)
" Those who remain silent, are RESPONSIBLE too." Saint Edith Stein, died Auschwitz, Aug.9th 1942, along with her sister Rosa. Both converts to Catholicism.
" Every creature participates in some way in the likeness of The Divine Essence."(Thomas Aquinas)
How are you awakening the new revelation of The Divine Creative Spirit, The Divine Essence, present present within you and this present moment, and at this moment ? Now again at this moment ? For me, as I view with the naked eye, I see no difference whatsoever. For those who know they tell me there is an imperceptible change, as The Power of The Creative spirit is CONTINUING the endless work of your evolutionary process. Each evolutionary process is guided into reality by The Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth, The Giver of Life, The Source of Love. We are not evolving accidents. We are an essential part The Masterplan we are being guided in, and into reality. This happens one nano second at a time. Too fast for us to observe with the naked eye, so we need soul work. Soul work is our journey into the depths of our often harsh reality, there we encounter, Ultimate Reality, which is another way of describing, The Divine God Essence.
Way back, Moses, speaking to the wanderers in the desert, reminded them that the master plan for The Creator's Creation have been placed in them, written in their hearts and mouths. It has been the ongoing challenge, for all who follow in their footsteps to have the courage to carry out what is written. within and on The Spirit's ,Manuscripts. May The Holy Spirit guide you into the AWE-Full, mysterious reality of who each one is, of their essence.
No body, but our Gracious Creator can bestow on us on us the Awe-full-ness of who we always are. Nobody can take what has been bestowed in Love. We all have the experience of where we not just question our Awe-full-ness but we actually actively deny having "pearl of great price.Today we are blessed to have a more holistic understanding of creation. There is no longer a division between the sacred and profane, there is only one reality, the sacraments of our present being, and the sacred place on which we stand, this sacramental moment.
We do not have to look for The Divine. The Divine Presence is within, waiting patiently for us to discover, and visit the tabernacle which a the home for The All. Where Safety Peace and True Freedom reigns, it is the place where those of us who are heavily burdened can come and rest awhile. There is always that invitation to "come rest in Me". The Sacred, The Divinity is always reach out to us in unconditional love. It really bothers, to no end the false self that we cannot earn, deserve, or qualify for endless unconditioned acceptance. It is pure gift. Let us not bastardize such a necessary transformative gift.
( Only if you wish !!! This was something that bubbled up, and I am reluctant to delete it.) Last evening, for some reason, I found little Joe, remembering how he felt with his first encounter, with, the ocean. I can vividly remember being contented to sit in the wading pool, on the beach at Garretstown. This is regarded as one of the best beaches to be found in the county of Cork, Ireland. (Who does know that famous, colorful county ? ) I was safe, enjoying the warmth of the sun. As least for a while. Then I turned my head, saw the ocean, and it beckoned to me. I only remember standing, where the little lapping waves found their home. Because they shared their home, I found a place of hospitality, safety, and security.. That began a long history of Joe answering the call of the waves. I travelled over, oh so many waves to arrive in this challenging, blistering desert. Deep within I will always have a growing memory, of that safe place. Forward to now, I have to meet the ongoing challenge of, P.T.S.D. so a safe, secure place is ever so very, very precious.
Some of our Bishops are taking their pastoral, and prophetic callings so very seriously. Let us support them in every way we can. Take the warning of Edith Stein, we do NOT have to option of remaining silent. We are about to face the stark reality of being prophetic presences and voices. I some cases, maybe in all the battles for justice and common decency, we pay the price. hen you are being confined to the prisons of unjust anger and shame, Psalm 69 assures us that "those who are in bonds', their cries are always heard. Lastly," Hope does not disappoint." May the Creative Spirit guide your efforts. May you find courage, hope, and the spirit of perseverance, in The Gracious Power of Love. This is where all began, and are on the hard slog back to. Love, prayers, and blessings. Great Gramps.
