Words of Jesus

"I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me. This is the bread which came down from heaven, not such as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever."

John 6:51-58

Help yourself during troubled periods by reading holy books for this reading provides excellent food for the soul and conduces to great progress along the path of perfection.

— St Pio of Pietrelcina

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for the light of a new day, for as the morning sun begins a new day, a new chance, full of choices, so too am I made new through and in Jesus; and so I continue to seek to surround myself with holy books filled with Your Word and the words and expressions of those who seek the oneness with You in the Trinity of the Holy Father, Son and Spirit. I ask You to help me 'remember all the ways which You LORD God have led me' during my years of under the sun, 'that You have humbled me, testing me to know what was in my heart, and whether I want to chose to keep Your commandments, or not.' 'And You humbled me and let me learn to understand my hunger' and to 'know that I do not live by bread alone, but that I live by everything that proceeds out of the Your mouth.' For You 'send forth Your command to the earth; Your word runs swiftly.' And blessed am I that I am able to feel the Your Word; 'because there is one bread, and we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread' for which You are the Source of Source, my Source, I am only complete when I am one with You, no matter what may be going on under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

"Behold, I make all things new."… "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me;"

Words of Jesus

And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Revelation 21:5

Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."

John 10:25-30

Always be doing something worthwhile, then the Devil will always find you busy and more difficult to distract.

— St Francis of Assisi

Abba, Father, Lord God, I am thankful Lord, I am aware of You being, yet I wrestle with fear or doubt. Thinking that fear has no place in our relationship for it is driven by love, yet doubt breeds fears. But it is it doubt in You or in what You want and expect from me that causes the confusion that surrounds me today. Or is it just my weak nature struggling with my human being unable to accept the mistakes that I have made yet unwilling to exercise the practice of discipline that it takes to avoid making the same mistakes again or the realty that no matter what I do or how much I practice, I will never be mistakes free. Yet is it making a mistake or being disobedient that haunts me; is it the fear that I cannot be or the doubt of how I should be. For I feel You have shown me and given me insight into the words we use to express what we (I) hear and say so that I can understand and interpret what it is that we (I) should feel! For where there may be many words there is only one feeling. And it is feeling that connects me in the Spirit through Jesus to You; this I do believe even when I do not do what I have heard You expect me to do. So I wrestle with what I have heard and try to know what I should and do feel; contemplating how to know if it is my human being telling me or my spiritual being feeling me until I cry out – show me Lord, touch me help me feel what to do. For I feel I am awakened for a reason and You are enlightening me for a purpose. Help me through this stage as the fire of Your touch purifies and readies me for what You have planned for me; help me feel what to do, to know when to wait and when to act. Do not let my human being corrupt the purification and development of my spirit being for I know that it is only in the spirit that I can feel my connection to You help me to walk under the sun in this human being awakened and aware of the spirit being that is the breath I breathe and let each breath I breathe feel the connection to You. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
