The Words of Jesus of Nazareth

A Place for You

I go to prepare a place for you.

Know this: if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to be there with me; so that where I am, there you may be also. Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I must go away, but I will come again to you. If you truly loved me you would rejoice, because I return to the Father.

Do not marvel when I say: for little while, you will not see me; but not long after that, you will see me again. You will weep and be sad , but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful , but your sorrow will be turned to joy.

A woman, when she is in childbirth, knows pain and agony; but as soon as the child is delivered she forgets her suffering, rejoicing that her child is born into the world. For a moment you may experience sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will be able to take your joy from you.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful, humble, I seek understanding of myself through Jesus, and knowledge of Your will for me under the sun in Him via the Spirit that lives in me. Guide me! Help me! Show me! In my humility I find peace and disappointment; peace as I know I am nothing without You and in You I am, disappointment in my weakness, yet is it this weakness that brings me back to You, and in You I am. Let me just be who I am in You! In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

O Truth, you are present to those who seek your help, and at one and the same time you answer all, though they seek your counsel on different matters. You respond clearly. but not everyone hears clearly. All ask what they wish, but do not always hear the answer they wish. Your best servant is he who is intent not so much on hearing his petition answered, as rather on willing whatever he hears from you.

— St. Augustine

Revelation 14:1-5
Psalm 24:1-6

3  Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?  4  He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false, and does not swear deceitfully. 
Luke 21:1-4

1  He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury;  2  and he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins.  3  And he said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;  4  for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had."

The Pontiff in Winter: Triumph and Conflict in the Reign of John Paul II By John Cornwell Narrated by John Lee – Pope John Paul II is one of the most famous and influential political figures of the world. Now, best-selling author and journalist John Cornwell has written an accessible and provocative portrait of this highly charged figure, focusing primarily on the last five years and the major world events, and scandals within the Church that have impacted the papacy. The result is a thoughtful assessment of John Paul II’s legacy to the Church. In an age when many people see the Catholic Church as an institution in crisis, Cornwell raises the level of debate by posing difficult questions; chief among them is the effectiveness of a system that grants lifetime power to an individual vulnerable to the vicissitudes of aging and illness.
