Subtitle: "Heaven's Currency." From the Tridentine documentary's script, for every soul. "Even in the midst of the crowd we can be going on to perfection." ~ Saint Philip Neri
HEAVEN'S CURRENCY
"Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to Him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the Cross of the Lord and be at peace with yourself." ~ Saint Francis de Sales
The focus of today's lesson, and of the entire documentary, and of the past nine months, and of your entire life has been on having a God-pleasing, deeply profound, unfathomably meaningful, properly loving, surprisingly fruitful, privately public, and everlasting relationship with Jesus the Divine Bridegroom of every soul.
We are immersed in God's love through all He has created.
We seek, see, greet, communicate with, love, patiently suffer with, and serve Him directly, within ourselves, and through our contact with other people.
"Do not imagine that love can be found without suffering, for we carry with us our human nature; and yet, what a source of merit it is!" ~ Saint Therese of Lisieux
WHO ROLLS UP HIS OR HER SLEEVES TO GET TO WORK AT HIS OR HER OWN WEDDING? WHAT WONDERS!
Such as it is to wed one's life to Christ over and over and over and over again each day, to forsake one’s self in order to remain faithful to Him, and to be unified with the Real Presence of our Divine Royal King in the Blessed Sacrament as He just keeps coming and coming and coming and coming for the greater honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and then for our sake.
Our Lord had suddenly inquired recently one evening after work about the whereabouts of a certain person He favors.
"I don't know where this person is, Jesus."
He was seeking out one of His sheep, just as He seeks out every one of us when we wander from our Good Shepherd’s side.
"Holy Ghost, come into my heart, and in Your power draw it to You." ~ Saint Catherine of Siena
Today, inside of God's House, you are inspired to ask Jesus in return where this person Whom He is seeking is.
“Jesus, where is this person whom You seek?”
Holy Ghost, come into every person’s heart, and in Your power draw us all to You.
TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC SEARCH AND RESCUE - THE DIVINE ROYAL WEDDING STAMP
While offering the Prayers of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus to Almighty God during the offering of the Traditional Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated in Latin, it is communicated once again, as it had been before there in the holy silence, in the holy elegance, and in the holy reverence that sacramental weddings inside God's House are imprinted with the Divine Royal Wedding Stamp, with a sacred seal that has manifested in it the likeness of God.
THE PRAYER TO REPRODUCE THE IMAGE OF GOD IN OUR SOULS
Our Lord told Sr. Mary of St. Peter that the Image of His Holy Face is like a Divine Stamp, which, if applied to souls through prayer, has the power of imprinting anew within them the Image of God.
Prayer: I salute You, I adore You, and I love You, O adorable Face of my beloved Jesus, as the noble stamp of the Divinity! Completely surrendering my soul to You, I most humbly beg You to stamp this seal upon us all, so that the image of God may once more be reproduced by its imprint in our souls. Amen.
Everything is so incomprehensibly beautiful, eternally meaningful, deeply affecting, and astonishingly healing that many tears are shed throughout each Holy Sacrifice each morning.
Certainly, today is no exception.
However, while offering Almighty God through Jesus the prayer of Saint Therese of Lisieux, the tears being shed in imitation of and in union with Christ are suddenly manifested as "HEAVEN'S CURRENCY."
THE PRAYER OF SAINT THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS AND HOLY FACE
"O Jesus, who in Thy bitter Passion didst become “the most abject of men, a man of sorrows,” I venerate Thy Sacred Face whereon there once did shine the beauty and sweetness of the Godhead; but now it has become for me as if it were the face of a leper! Nevertheless, under those disfigured features, I recognize Thy infinite Love and I am consumed with the desire to love Thee and make Thee loved by all men.
“The tears, which well up abundantly in Thy sacred eyes, appear to me as so many precious pearls that I love to gather up, in order to purchase the souls of poor sinners by means of their infinite value. O Jesus, whose adorable face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy Divine image and to set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven. Amen."
THE PATER NOSTER (THE LORD'S PRAYER) – THE EARNING, COLLECTING, AND PROPER SPENDING OF HEAVEN'S CURRENCY IS THE FULFILLMENT OF CHRIST'S GREATEST TWO COMMANDS
Jesus said we must first love the Lord our God with our entire heart, entire soul, and entire mind; and secondly we are to love our neighbor as ourselves" (Matthew 22:36-40).
With this in mind, the Lord's Prayer is offered to Almighty God from the heart, inspired and guided by the Holy Ghost on this each soul’s wedding day to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
HOLY COMMUNION AND HEAVEN'S CURRENCY
"As we look into our hearts we must humbly confess that truly, we have sinned, sinned often, sinned deeply, sinned willfully. But God is good. He gives us the privilege of not only expiating what we have done wrong, but actually becoming more pleasing to Him by our penance and reparation." ~ Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., "Penance and Reparation"
So many Sacred Hosts are visible inside the chalice as the celebrant approaches your place at the communion rail. All of them contain Jesus the Divine Bridegroom of every soul in His entirety (Sacred Body, Precious Blood, Soul, and Divinity). What wonders!
They all contain the Way, the Truth, and the Life; they contain all His teaching, all His wisdom, all His goodness, and all His virtues.
They all contain His sacrificially loving complete offering of Himself for our sake in His time, through time, in our time, and until the end of time.
They all contain His love for each one of us as well as His love for all of us.
They also all contain the nineteen chapters of
this documentary for every soul.
