With my arms raised, palms outward, I see You and welcome You rising as a sun in glory on Earth. I see You clothed in gold, brilliantly radiant in blinding splendor. Your glorious radiance pierces through me burning away the small self with its petty desires and fears, and awakening the awareness of your Spirit in me: "Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1 John:3,2) In this awareness there is no more me. There is only You. There is only me welcoming You. I offer myself as a microcosm of Earth. Please establish Your kingdom fully in me.
"[People] will therefore see God if they are to live; through the vision of God they become immortal and attain to God himself...God will be seen by [those] who bear his Spirit and are always waiting for his coming."--St. Irenaeus
"But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 31: 31-33)
Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm;
For stern as death is love,
relentless as the netherworld is devotion;
its flames are a blazing fire.
Deep waters cannot quench love,
nor floods sweep it away. (Song of Songs 8:6-7)
Welcome!
In a simple state of prayer and meditation the following are words that I heard Jesus speaking to me. These conversations did not come through an extraordinary vision, but rather through a connection of simple love and trust with my Lord. Everyone has the capacity to talk with God. Even more than sharing the specifics of what is written here, I share these conversations with the hope that anyone who reads them will know that they can also speak with Christ's Sacred Heart through an enlivening of their own heart. The peace of Christ be with you.
