Two Inseparable Sacraments of Divine Intimacy, Jesus, Blessed Mother, Unrepentant Sinners, and You

A stunning new lesson that begins in a chapel and ends by the Sacred Heart and at the Feet of our very loving and merciful Teacher.    

 

Don’t ever just be Catholic;  be PROFOUNDLY Catholic!  There is so much more of God’s love to discover and then keep rediscovering.  He is so in love with you!

The Lord and Blessed Mother want to use you as a tremendous channel of love, mercy, and grace for precious, priceless, and immortal souls through all time.  Let Them!

How is that best accomplished?  By living sacramental lives of heroic virtue.  Does that sound unattainable, impossible, unlikely?  

 It’s not;  it is your calling.  Holiness is your destiny.

A NEW LESSON

When the student soul is ready, the Teacher appears, and He is very, very nice. 

Today’s lesson involves two sacraments of Divine Intimacy, the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) and the Sacrament of Love (the Blessed Sacrament).   This lesson is so powerful that for a few moments it renders you speechless in the confessional.

God loves us so lavishly, so extravagantly!  Spend time with Him, and ask Him to show you by granting you spiritual vision so you can see things through His eyes.  What a beautiful, wondrous world!  Everything is so much more beautiful, and positive, and clear when seen through God's eyes. 

 

TODAY’S LESSON BEGINS IN A CHAPEL

Today as part of the lesson, the Lord summons you to go to confession.  Sometimes He summons us and for various reasons, and sometimes He waits for us to come to Him on our own for various reasons. 

Time spent remaining still (mentally and physically) in prayer conversing with the Lord is necessary for proper discernment.   

You respond to the Lord's summons by first conducting an examination of conscience, and then write out your confession.  A short while later, you travel to church and enter the chapel. 

 PREPARATION

You humbly, happily, and lovingly greet our Lord, kneel next to the confessionals, and begin praying while waiting for confessions to begin. You pray to God asking for help making a good confession, and also pray for your confessor, for all confessors, and also for all the people who are also there to  receive the Sacrament of Christ's Peace. 

The devout faithful must always remember to pray, and to pray for one another.  Praying beforehand helps you and others make good confessions and helps the physicians of our souls care for us well. 

A STUNNING SIGHT

Suddenly, the Lord reveals Himself to you in an incredibly striking way:  you see Him in each one of the confessionals to your right. Jesus is present in each room and He is hanging crucified on the Cross. 

Meditate for a moment on what our Lord is showing you.  

Jesus has suffered through His Passion, is beaten beyond recognition, His Sacred Flesh absolutely shredded everywhere by the merciless scourging at the pillar, He has been stripped of His clothing, crowned with thorns, and is covered with dirt, His own Precious Blood, sweat, and tears shed for us, and also covered with spit, malice, rejection, unbridled hatred, and hair which has maliciously been pulled from His Sacred Head and His Holy Face.

Jesus is just covered with our judgment and is enduring our punishment in our places.  

Jesus presents Himself to you in this powerful way as you prepare to present your heart to Him at the foot of His Cross.

Our Savior is barbarically stretched out in His catastrophically injured condition and nailed to a Cross. As immobilized as Jesus is, He exerts every effort to lean His Sacred Body forward despite His agony to get as close to everyone as He possibly can.  As He does so, love and mercy absolutely pour from Him everywhere and cover all those who are willing to accept them.

The unfathomable love and mercy of our Creator also pour forth for all those who will not accept them, and we must be there to accept the graces for them, in their place.

What our Lord reveals is absolutely stunning, because you are not merely seeing an image but being granted a profound understanding of unfathomable mercy pouring from His extravagantly loving Sacred Heart and His catastrophically wounded Sacred Body. 

Our crucified Lord is there in every room simultaneously, even in the confessionals that are not being used for confession that evening.

MORE REVELATIONS FOR THE STUDENT SOUL

Jesus  has more to show you because you are so eager to learn and then teach others. 

Our Savior further reveals Himself Crucified on the Cross next to everyone waiting in the chapel for his/her turn to confess. You see so many Crosses with Christ crucified on them, and His love and mercy pours forth upon everyone, extravagantly.    

We are loved and valued more than we can ever imagine.  

YOUR CONFESSION

As you kneel before our Crucified Savior and make your confession, you are absolutely overwhelmed by the limitless love and generosity of God, and for a time are  rendered speechless.

The faithful waiting outside must wait just a little longer, but the Lord rewards them with His Presence on the Cross right by their sides.  

After being absolved of your sins, you gratefully and joyfully thank God and also your confessor, because our priests are the filters of humanity's filth, and we owe them our eternal gratitude for their sacrificial, loving, and vital ministries. 

Still profoundly moved, you exit the wound in Christ’s Sacred Heart through the confessional doorway and enter the church to thank the Lord and to prepare your soul for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and union with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.  God is so good!

A VISIT FROM BLESSED MOTHER

As you begin saying the prayers of your penance, Blessed Mother presents herself by your side.  She has come to collect your tears, the product of your immense gratitude, love, and submission to the will of God. 

God’s most holy Mother presents a cloth for this purpose, and when you see it, you tell her that it is too bad that you had not thought of pressing a cloth against our Lord’s Sacred Body in the chapel to collect His Precious Blood as you have been taught to do in the past.  Blessed Mother smiles, and responds that she had done just that while you were in there, and is using that very cloth to collect your tears!

 OUR LORD AND HIS MOTHER SET THEIR SIGHTS ON UNREPENTANT SINNERS

Then, she places her hand on your shoulder and has the souls of all unrepentant sinners placed on the cloth, then wraps them inside of it, and then places this precious and priceless bundle in the manger on the tiny Sacred Body of her newborn Son, right by His little Sacred Heart.

You shed more tears of gratitude because God and His most holy Mother care for us all so lavishly, so kindly, and with great compassion and mercy. 

Then, Blessed Mother presents another cloth which she also pressed against the wounded Sacred Body of her Son on the Cross in the chapel and also in the confessionals.  

She collects more of your tears with it, and has you place the souls of all the members of the Sacred Priesthood of her Son inside of it.

Then Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament places the cloth on the Sacred Body of Jesus in the manger next to the other one, close to His infant Sacred Heart.

And then it happens a third time as the tears continue to flow down your cheeks, precious waterfalls of sacrificial love and thanksgiving.  Blessed Mother has you place the souls the members of your family in this third cloth,  and then she places this precious bundle among the others, which resemble soft cloth dolls given to a child, to be loved and nurtured by our little Master.

 THANKSGIVING

While praying and remaining still after Holy Mass with the One Who remains with us always because this pleases Him a great deal, Jesus shows you that His little Sacred Body in the manger is  holding those three precious bundles by His little Sacred Heart as He rests underneath the Cross on which He is also Crucified in the church.  

Then, Jesus shows you the same image and this time, the Divine Infant and His precious bundles are positioned underneath all the Crosses in the chapel and confessionals on which our Savior is crucified.  His Precious Blood is cascading into the manger and onto the bundles, covering all the immortal souls contained within them with His unfathomable love and mercy.

 ALWAYS STRIVE TO LOVE GOD IN GREATER MEASURE

On your way home that night, Jesus tells you that you can satisfy His longing by loving Him in greater measure to make up for those who love Him less.

Praise be to Jesus Christ, now and forever!
