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.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, humbly I give thanks and yet wonder what lies in the moment and what is it You are trying to teach and or show me besides that which I think I know. How much longer will Your fires burn to purify me? Will Your hand take to mold me? I stand with my heart open at the narrow gate knowing the fruit of the Spirit does not flow as it should from me, so I willing accept Your timing, and look for Your will, rather than mine. For my hope and my prayer are not for me, but for those that see me, and those like me that think they cannot wait not knowing that the closer week get the greater we are tempted to quit. We must have faith always looking to the heavens and believing. For like gravity the ways under the sun pull us down the higher we go, so the pull seems greater the closer we get, until the moments of freedom come together and we break free and find heaven on earth or arrive at Your door as we pass on. Either way I ask pray for all the souls tempted, weak, tired, regretful and lonely; that You would find a way to touch them today, and that in some small way You use me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

When you love unseemly conversation, you prepare a feast for demons and sell you soul for their fodder.

Hebrews 6:10-20

10  For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do.  11  And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end,  12  so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  13  For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,  14  saying, "Surely I will bless you and multiply you."  15  And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. 

16  Men indeed swear by a greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.  17  So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he interposed with an oath,  18  so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God should prove false, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.  19  We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner shrine behind the curtain,  20  where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchiz’edek.  
Psalm 111:1-2, 4-5, 9-10

10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures forever! 
Mark 2:23-28

23  One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain.  24  And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?"  25  And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:  26  how he entered the house of God, when Abi’athar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?"  27  And he said to them, "The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath;  28  so the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Good Shepherd

Fear not, little flock, it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

I am the good shepherd. I know my flock and they know me, even as the Father knows me and I know the Father. I am willing to give my life for the sake of the sheep. My sheep recognize my voice. I know them each by name, and they follow me. I give them eternal life. They will never be destroyed, nor can anyone tear them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than any kingdom or power, and no force is able to pluck even the weakest from his mighty hand. Still, there are many sheep that are lost outside the fold: I must gather them as well. They too will rejoice at the sound of my voice and will become members of one great fold, with one shepherd to care for them night and day.

He that enters in by the front door of the fold is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens the door, and the sheep thrill at the sound of his voice. He calls them each by name, and leads them out to green pastures. When he leads the sheep out to graze, he goes before them. They follow him, comforted by the words that he speaks. They will not follow a stranger; instead, they run from the sound of an unfamiliar voice.

I am the good shepherd who gives my life for the sheep. The hired hand is no substitute. He does not care for the sheep as if they were his own; and when the wolf comes he runs away, leaving the sheep unguarded. The wolf catches them, and they are scattered.

I am the door to the sheepfold. Those who attempt to enter this fold by any other way are thieves and robbers. Many imposters have come before me, but the sheep did not recognize or follow them. I am the door. Enter by this door and you will be safe, free to go in and out and find food.

This earth is plagued by corruption, by death and destruction. I have come to undo this curse, that you might discover the true meaning of life and be blessed.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world! For we are all sheep seeking to find home, to be in Your presence of Shepherd for only He knows us, He knows us better than we do ourselves. Only through Him in the Spirit with You can we find comport and what we need to walk in the feeling of that presence. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

V

God in His infinite goodness sometimes sees fit to test our courage and love by depriving us of the things which it seems to us would be advantageous to our souls; and if He finds us earnest in their pursuit, yet humble, tranquil and resigned to do without them if He wishes us to, He will give us more blessings than we should have had in the possession of what we craved.

— St. Philip Neri

Hebrews 5:1-10

1  For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.  2  He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.  3  Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.  4  And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.  5  So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";  6  as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz’edek."  7  In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear.  8  Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;  9  and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,  10  being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchiz’edek. 
Psalm 110:1-4
Mark 2:18-22

18  Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, "Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"  19  And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.  20  The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.  21  No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.  22  And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is for fresh skins."

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

The Call

You have not chosen me. I have chosen you, and appointed you to produce good fruit from the lives that you live, fruit that will last.

I add this to this story: many are called – into the kingdom – but few are chosen. The time has come. The kingdom of God is near at hand. I have called you from the world’s way of living. Repent, put on the garments of salvation, and believe this good news.

No one can come to me unless the Father, who has sent me, draws him; and I will raise up that person on the last day. All of you whom the Father has given me will come to me: and whoever comes to me, I will never refuse.

Enter therefore through the narrow gate; for wide is the path, and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many go that way. But narrow is the gate and the path which leads to life, and there are few that find it. Make every effort to go through the gate that leads to life. One day, many will want to exchange their way for the right way, and find it to be too late.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble, humble knowing very well that whatever I do I seek to do for You, and whatever I accomplish, I do so by Your grace and mercy. For I know I am nothing and can do nothing without in Jesus through the Spirit who is alive in me. And for this knowledge I am thankful and aware of every blessing for which I am also thankful. This is why I am always asking and always praying that in my Richardness I serve You first in Jesus through the Spirit so in me sooner or later those that look see the fruit of the Spirit above the Richardness under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

No, my dear children, we need never fear that the Mass hinders us in the fulfillment of our temporal affairs; it is altogether the other way around. We may be sure that all will go better and that even our business will succeed better than if we have the misfortune not to assist at Mass.

1 Samuel 3:3-10, 19

9  Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.’" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-10

2  He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.  4  Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!  8  I delight to do thy will, O my God; thy law is within my heart." 10  I have not hid thy saving help within my heart, I have spoken of thy faithfulness and thy salvation; I have not concealed thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness from the great congregation.
1 Corinthians 6:13-15, 17-20

17  But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.  18  Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body.  19  Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;  20  you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 
John 1:35-42

35  The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples;  36  and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!"  37  The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.  38  Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" And they said to him, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"  39  He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.  40  One of the two who heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.  41  He first found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ).  42  He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

The Trial and the Cross

You have no power at all against me unless it is given to you from above.

Why do you prosecute me by these accusations? Interrogate those who heard me teach. They know very well the things I have said. I did not spread my message in secret, but spoke openly for the world to hear, teaching publicly in places of worship and the courtyards of the temple where my followers gathered.

If what I have said violates your laws, then give evidence of this. But if I have spoken the truth, then why do you strike me?

My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have taken up arms to defend it, that I should not be delivered into your hands. But mine is not an earthly kingdom. Yet you are right when you accuse me of being a king. To this end was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world: that I should be a witness to the truth. All who love the truth recognize my message. Now will the prince of this world be overthrown, and if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to me.

This above all is why my Father loves me; for I lay down my life willingly that I might take it up again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down; and I have the power to take it up again. The Father has given me this power.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

V

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humble I realize I will never be worthy to serve You, I just need to be willing. Each moment and each memory is Your way of purifying and preparing me to the work at hand. So I ask and pray that through Jesus I will find all I need to serve You well and that in the Spirit I will walk in the feeling of oneness with You, and my Richardness bring glory and honor to You in some small way, according to Your will and purpose for me. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

We must neither doubt nor hesitate with respect to the words of the Lord; rather, we must be fully persuaded that every word of God is true and possible, even if our nature should rebel against the idea; for in this lies the test of faith.

Hebrews 4:12-16

12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  13  And before him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.  14  Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  15  For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.  16  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 
Psalm 19:8-10, 15

8  the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;  9  the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
Mark 2:13-17

13  He went out again beside the sea; and all the crowd gathered about him, and he taught them.  14  And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.  15  And as he sat at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners were sitting with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him.  16  And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"  17  And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
