When the Student Soul is Ready, the Teacher Appears

How well do you know your Faith?  How well do you know Jesus.   

When the student soul is ready, the Teacher appears. 

God is so in love with you.  

Part I

Ask the Lord to reveal something very beautiful to you, and He will be so happy to comply.  

Do it often (wink).  

Truly, God is so in love with us all.

Here's an example of what you may be shown, to give you some idea of what is possible. 

With God, all things are possible.  

Perhaps the Lord will show you a ladder that has been placed against the Cross upon which He is impaled, crucified.  You are invited to ascend this symbolic ladder that reaches to Jesus, who has recently expired and had His Sacred Heart pierced by a lance.

Allow your heart to also be wounded by God's great love, in imitation of Christ. 

A question is presented to you:  What will you do when you get to the top of the ladder?  

Then, another one:  What will you do as you ascend higher?

There is so much more of God's love to discover or rediscover.  His love is absolutely inexhaustible.  

So many people settle for so little because they have no concept of Who God is. 

How well do you know the Lord?  How well do you know your Faith? To know your Faith is to know Jesus, for they are One and the same.  

Perhaps the Lord will have you experience a passion to help guide precious souls into the waiting, welcoming, loving, compassionate, and merciful arms of Jesus.  Perhaps this great longing to see souls achieve intimacy with the Divine causes you anguish.  Perhaps the Lord will then disclose to you that the mental anguish you suffer is a manifestation of His own suffering, which extends into our time as Jesus continues to long to be welcomed into every human heart.  

Jesus thirsts, and asks us to help Him satisfy this tremendous longing. 

The Lord never ceases to love us and to delight us;  truly, when the student soul is ready, the Teacher appears. 

Perhaps one day, Jesus may appear before you in church during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, suspended on the Cross during His Crucifixion. The first thing you are shown after that is your soul  kneeling underneath the Cross while making a sacramental confession. 

This placement of the soul at the foot of the Cross during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass after having been forgiven of his/her sins indicates the inseparability of our receiving the Blessed Sacrament and making sacramental confessions.  

Two of Saint John Bosco's extraordinary dreams, the Snake and the Rosary followed by the Anvil and the Hammer, with a very special introductory story by Servant of God, Father John A. Hardon, S.J. These are the remedies you must use.  

Did you know that making a daily examination of conscience is inseparable from making sacramental confessions? It all makes so much sense.

The Blessed Sacrament and the Sacrament of Christ’s Peace are both Sacraments of Divine Intimacy.  We kneel beneath the Cross of Christ crucified while receiving both Sacraments (we should if  physically capable of it, and if not, must kneel reverently in spirit). 

With the Cross right before you during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Lord encourages you to examine your conscience and then take your individual faults, one by one, and place them in the corresponding wounds on His Body impaled upon the wood of our redemption.  

His Sacred Body is stretched to its limits, holds nothing back, and gives us all. 

Jesus tells you that this is the way to overcome our faults and grow in sanctity.  

Jesus, so incredibly and unfathomably wounded, wounds our hearts in imitation of His and Blessed Mother's Hearts, and transforms us into Their likeness.  

All we have to be is willing, and in order to get to that point, it helps a great deal to have some understanding of all that is possible. 

With God, all things are possible. 

Allow your life to be absolutely transformed.  Accept all the love God has for you!  Never limit the Lord, and allow Him to use you as His instrument of love and He will, in the most astounding ways.

Prepare to be absolutely amazed, because God is so in love with us!!  +

When you approach the altar to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament while kneeling at the foot of His Cross, you are mystically covered in His Precious Blood.  If you accepted His mercy and were forgiven during a sacramental confession prior to Holy Mass, you are mystically covered in even greater measure.

Think about that for a moment;  one drop of Jesus' Precious Blood was enough to redeem the entire human race, and you are mystically covered in His redeeming Blood.

When we approach the Eucharist and we are not in the state of grace, we are not sanctified by His Precious Blood because we have refrained from accepting His mercy by the means He has provided to us.  As a result, we cannot receive all the graces it is possible for us to receive. We are not sanctified as much as is possible.  We are not the profound channels of grace for others that we could be. 

We reap what we sow, and that goes for receiving Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament unworthily. 

Be not afraid!  God's grace is always sufficient.  Ask Him for it and accomplish great things.

The untapped grace available to humanity is staggering;  this grace would be of tremendous benefit to humanity if only we knew to accept it, and if only we cooperated with the Lord on His terms and not on our own. 

Receiving Holy Communion after these things have been accomplished is a very, very powerful experience.  The Lord can transform us very effectively because we have been humbly obedient to Him and have given Him our consent, and then we become incredibly effective channels of grace for others.

Return to your place in church unified with the Savior of mankind as light absolutely pours from you at every possible angle.  That light doesn't travel just anywhere;  the journey of the many rays is very purposeful. 

So much light, so many rays representing God's love and graces are directed at all the people you pass by.  Others in addition to you are also channels of grace, which pours out through them toward everyone else at the very same time! 

Just imagine the effects of this combined action!!  Then, when we go out into the world, the graces continue to pour out through us and are directed at the precious people the Lord places in our path.   

The more we selflessly ask for, the more we believe is possible, the more we desire to serve the Lord, the more we receive from Him.

If we behaved this way, no obnoxious fundraisers would ever be necessary.  They exist because we lack trust in the Lord and seek our own wills, and they have become a terrible pestilence. 

Just imagine what the Lord conceives from souls unified with Him in the Blessed Sacrament, from souls who have been sanctified and enriched in this way.  Our supplications to heaven are incredibly efficacious when these things have been accomplished.

Discover or rediscover the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Pro-Life Church, and the majestic full expression of Christianity as established by its very Founder, Jesus Christ.

We are God's family, we are a team.  Go, Team!!   

BE PROFOUNDLY CATHOLIC! There is so much more of God's love to discover or rediscover. His love is absolutely inexhaustible! So many people settle for so little because they have no concept of Who God is. How well do you know the Lord? How well do you know your Faith? To know your Faith is to know Jesus, for They are One and the same. God knows you very personally and very intimately, and He is so in love with you!!

"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

and to Mary, Help of Christians, 

and you will see what miracles are."
