Delight in the quiet with you Lord is delight.

Your Spirit imbues the soul with delight.

Resting in your Spirit brings forth your serenity,

Across the miles of serenity heals the souls needs,

Powerful in its presence to be fruitful -

Gaining in your solitude of persistence 

In Seeking you Lord, your ways.

Holy is the presence then of charity.

Seeking your presence then engages your divinity.

JL - 7/1/21

My children,
Grace fills the heart and soul of my love for you. Be ready to be open to receive my gracious love at all times. Powerful is the glory it brings in your daily walk with me.  Open your heart to my love. Find great peace and abide in me welcoming the very presence of my Spirit to be working in your life. My love will provide a pathway to my peaceful endeavors for you to partake of culminating in my eternal love for your destiny. Approach each day with love and find the on-going love you need to sustain your walk in my presence providing you all you need. Cherishing these very precious moments will give you direction, inspiration and great  peace. Be at peace. Amen.     (JL-4/24/21) 

"Very often it happens that we do not pray, we don’t feel like praying, or many times we pray like parrots, with the mouth, but our heart is not in it. This is the moment to say to the Spirit: “Come, come Holy Spirit, warm my heart. Come and teach me to pray, teach me to look to the Father, to look to the Son. Teach what the path of faith is like. Teach me how to love and, above all, teach me to have an attitude of hope.”"
Pope Francis  GENERAL AUDIENCE MARCH 17, 2021

Prayer and praise lifts your way. Rest in my love, rest in me and let my prayerful silence overtake your ways of being with peace. My love fills the heart with joy.  Silence is precious to the heart and mind giving way to flourishing in a deeper presence of my presence. Resting in me then finds a wisdom of words given - those of my Spirit and love find precedence in your soul, healing the mind. Prayer and praise provide the life giving waters needed.

Peace be yours, peace I give in these days of inconsistency. Allow my presence to be brought into your being so as to free you of uncertainty.  Allow me to minister to your every need in these unknown times.  I will give you peace of heart.  Thus, you will be free to go forward in the divisiveness of each day knowing my presence is with you showering you with my love, comfort and direction.  Come rest in me and my presence in moments of prayer.  Amen.

  Turn to me. I am here. I have not abandoned you. I am pouring out my Mercy upon all those who are seeking my help. Come to me and let me fill your heart with my love and peace. I have so much that I want to give you. As moments of difficulty come before you, do not fear. Turn to me and trust. Rest in my presence.  (D.S. 7/29/20)
 
 

Come to me all those who are heavy laden.  I will give you peace bringing forth new ways to go forth in my love... bear fruit...think clearly.  Be with me in your endeavors.  Rest in me and find ways to be productive in my presence to bring forth my presence ever more clearly. Respond and see the way to my ever present glory. Trust in the response to be given allowing my fulfillment to be accomplished in you. Great are my gifts beyond your knowing. Allow me to be your presence guiding your way. True resolve comes forth. Grasp onto the spiritual designs it provides for your goodness, giftedness and provisions.  I will show the way. Resolve all else to my ways and find true presence and peace of mind in all ways.  Amen.                               JL 6/26/20

God gives us gifts through the Holy Spirit to help us be part of the work of building and spreading the Kingdom of God. As we look at the Bible one thing seems very clear: God wants to speak to us.  God often revealed the word in the old Testament times through prophets.  Those prophets heard the word of the Lord for the people and relayed it to them.  Jesus came as the Father’s perfect Word.  The Apostle John calls Jesus “The Word made flesh” (Jn 1:14). Jesus opened the door for all Christians to hear God speak. One way that God speaks to us is through the charism of prophecy.
