Spiritual Vision and Divine Union

There is so much more of God's love to discover and then keep rediscovering.  He is so in love with you!

Recognize, accept, return, and then share the unfathomable love of God which is limitless, priceless, ageless, and miraculous.  Love changes everything, and there is an unlimited supply!

How good is your spiritual vision?  How well can you see?

Consider listening to the following short audio presentation to get you started or provide encouragement as you grow in sanctity:

Spiritual Vision:  How Well Can YOU See? by Apostolate Films on Mixcloud

Remember that with God, all things are possible.

Place yourself at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and share the following encounters with Christ during the re-presentation of His Passion and Death by Crucifixion.  See deep into eternity and participate in the salvation and sanctification of the entire human race.

So much more is possible;  God is so in love with you!

 THE BONDS OF SACRIFICIAL LOVE

Perhaps early into the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Lord shows you His Sacred Blood flying through the air as His Sacred Body was scourged at the pillar.  He presents the drops of His Blood as the seeds of faith that are still being sown: "The Gardener, the Garden, the Seeds, and the Sowing."  

Just imagine how many "seeds" were sown during the time He subjected His Sacred Body to the scourging at the pillar.

(silence)

We, too, are called to sow many seeds during our lifetimes, in imitation of Christ.

Perhaps you see that Jesus has superimposed your own personal suffering over that scene at the pillar. 

This presentation of patient suffering in imitation of Christ shows that we can, and we are, sowing the seeds of faith when we love sacrificially in union with our Jesus.

THE MEANINGFUL WORDS OF CONSECRATION

As Father says the words of consecration, perhaps the Lord will show you the words approaching you individually as they are spoken.  They come to you through the air.  When the words reach where you are in church, they envelop you and embrace you.  This happens to each one of us. 

As Father says "This is My Body, which is given up for you," and "This is My Blood,"  perhaps Jesus tells you that we can at the same time say those words to Him from our hearts as our souls are wed to Christ.

"Jesus, this is my body, which is given up for You... Jesus, this is my blood."  Our words then travel to Him, embrace Him and surround Him with our love in return.  What a very powerful and deeply unifying moment!  

(silence)

WEDDING ATTENDANTS

Perhaps just as you leave the kneeler at the altar after having received Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, while walking back down the isle with our Lord to return to your place in church, it is  made known to you that as you wed your soul to Christ and are unified with our Savior, you and Jesus are followed by several attendants.  Perhaps they are angels, the Holy Family, saints, or even martyred priests.

"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary, Help of Christians, 

and you will see what miracles are."  

~St. John Bosco

Develop keen spiritual vision by living a sacramental life, working hard at growing in sanctity, and by spending very precious moments with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Be sure to share your faith with others.  God is at work in you!
