Thanks, Lily.
The Cure D’Ars had this description of prayer, “I look at him, and he looks at me!”

“I can and will do so, with my own words as an act of worship, in spirit and in truth, my heart focused on Him rather than my eyes focused on me.”
That’s lovely, Andrew. Amen!

He has given us the indescribable gift in Jesus. He is able to do all things for us as we ask in faith and give Him honor and the glory in all that we do and say. He is all we need, and upholds us in every circumstance of life. Your words of love and dedication to Jesus, thrill and give me an increased desire to follow Him in every aspect of my life.

And how much Jesus loves us.. Completely putting us in a bubble – the Holy Spirit Bubble. Makes me feel I got to be more grateful. And I don’t want to get away from that bubble.
And yes does have a sense of humor . I wonder if he is smiling when I say this.

A thought that crosses my mind especially when I sit in front of the Blessed Sacrament and gaze at him… I call it getting the “Jesus Tan” like the sun tan

Uplifting.. Just the words – I will follow him.

Keep the words coming on these blogs

Then I am stopped in my tracks by the love response of a child, or someone with a child’s heart, who offers a gift of love which has nothing to do with cleverness or intellect or experience or skill, just the outpouring of the heart. How the Saviour must love this!

The apostle Peter confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You only have the words of eternal life”. How precious is the implied invitation to do the same. I can and will do so, with my own words as an act of worship, in spirit and in truth, my heart focused on Him rather than my eyes focused on me.
