Words of Jesus
And he said to them, "How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
Luke 2:49
The good thoughts which God gives you in prayer are relics. Gather them carefully together in order to translate them into acts, and you will gladden the heart of God.
— St. Vincent de Paul
Abba, Father, Lord God, I surround myself with the promise of Your Word; I listen for any spoken message from every source, I look for any story and testimony that will help me feel closure to You. Yet the feeling comes and goes; just as the day becomes night, the sound becomes silence and the business becomes solitude. I use try to use the darkness, silence and solitude to reflect on what You have taught me through Jesus, I look to You to help me become His image in the Holy Spirit. Then a light is turned on, a sound rings out and the business under the sun breaks in to my quite rest, just as I feel I am uniting with You in the moment; and all of a sudden I feel disconnected from You. My reaction is to turn away and close myself off as if the light was to bright, the sound to high pitch, the need an annoyance until the Spirit and the Message of Jesus awakens me as sudden thunder from above and convicts me as the crackle of a bolt of lightning. I am torn between meditating on my reaction and putting it behind me as just another lost opportunity to serve You; I mean while I want to learn from my failings, but do not want to dwell in them. So in shame I try and look to You from help and guidance, but my shame is hard to turn into humility. So I try to remind myself that I just need to immediately get back to than moment of oneness, and grasp onto the yoke of Jesus where no burden is to heavy or great, even the shame of things done wrong and failure of doing right. O my Lord God for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on me and on the whole world. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
