REMAIN HOLY SPIRIT!

Spirit of Eternal Love, so much and so often we call upon You and yet so little adoration do you receive outside of the Father and the Son! receive all praise and glory from our souls this day!
You have come and remained, and now we ask to be dissolved in You even if it is in limited terms until we reach our Home in eternity! May your loving presence come to be through our beings which we surrender to Your Life, in exchange for our little existance!

BE ALL IN ALL HOLY SPIRIT!

Spirit of Unity and perfect harmony, through Whom we who believe our binded beyond space and time, make your totality ever present in us that we may COME to the Cross of the Christ, we may REMAIN there embracing the thirsting Love of the Father in His Son, and we may die to the world to be raised through Him, with Him, and in Him into Your Life; so You will be ALL IN ALL, with the Father and the Son, forever and ever!

Praying for Trust is dangerous!
The Spirit of our Lady, which is the Spirit of the MC society consists of Loving Trust, Total Surrender and Cheerfulness! As the Spirit is always in motion outside of the limitations of our material realm, so is the Spirit we are given -the charism. Loving Trust leads to Total Surrender, and these lead to Cheerfulness. So why not start by praying for trust, i thought! even if it is not as loving as God desires...of course hoping His Will be done!

And so to trust God and only God, unless a very special grace is given, we must be stripped of all the life lines of the world and of our self-centered self, to which we always cling at some point of any given trial. So the trials come, and our prayers are answered. One by one, the life lines can disappear, until we realize it is God to whom we should have clung unto in the beginning...perhaps it takes to touch the bottom, and God will allow it to answer our prayer and show us the meaning of His Love manifested in our weakest weakness! He will stoop down to whisper Love and it may take us total abandonmnet and desolation to stop thinking and strat listening. As i was saying praying for trust is dangerous, but necessary!

It was love that sustained Jesus on the Cross, not really the nails one could say, simply because God is Love and Jesus had total trust in God, the Father. As we meditated in Holy Week, Jesus surrendered absolutely everything...in total desolation he gave us His Mother, and made us ever present at Calvary as her children; He gave us His eternal Love by manifesting His Thitrst and at the end He surrendered His Spirit! Without the Spirit the human body of Jesus could not last...and so he exhaled and died...with nothing...

A hole is nothing, a void, and emptiness a space where there is nothing. Jesus' body had 5 of those when they burried Him...His stigmata. Hands, Feet and Heart. He was raised with His holes...and i believe one of the reasons this happened, as insignificant as it may be, is to tell us once again that our trust in material and worldly things, consolations, habits, nails -anything, or anyone! will leave us empty beyond this life, but Trust in God, in Love, will bring us Life beyond death! even if so much of us is broken and empty, full of holes!

Blessed are the holes in the mystical Body of Christ! Blessed are those poor souls that are regarded as nothing and yet are windows of the Grace and the Spirit flowing from the very Heart of God! Blessed the broken who endure the nails of hatred and suffering so that Love may sustain the rest of its members!

Come Holy Spirit our defender and advocate and give us the Wisdom of the children of God, the desire to be nothing, so You may Be All! The desire to give you our little lives in exchange for Your eternal Life...beginning now!
Let us redefine with out Hearts what so many dollar bills say and the world has forgotten:
IN GOD WE TRUST!
