Jesus is enough. To live in Him, is to live in peace and everlasting joy. To live in Christ is to have and to hold and to share the joy that He personally has given to each and every single person He has ever created. We do not think of it as being enough, that Jesus is enough, and we are enough in Him! And yet we are! Yes, I truly believe that we are blessed beyond measure. Blessed, we are able to bless others. Silently, we have the ability to change this world, by fully living a life in Christ. Silently, we came into being, silently, we can continue onward in being even better. I believe we have to desire the state of being in silence first. In order to live the fullest life, that is silently blessing others, through prayer, kindness, love. That ever silent love, is our love for Christ, living in us. That very same Christ living in us wants to change us in a real and powerful way. It's just we get into the way of that beautiful process. It doesn't have to be that way, it can be different if we choose differently. At every Eucharistic Banquet Catholic men and women receive into their bodies, the body of Christ. And while in the state of grace, through a heart felt confession, Christ becomes our living companion, taken everywhere they go. We may not be able to see Christ, but we know that He exists in us every day, by the way we choose to live. To live in Him, one experiences great delight. An overwhelming feeling of contentment arrives into the soul of choosing to invite Christ more deeply into their heart. Christ is all about the heart, because if the heart loves, the heart will serve, and to have the desire to serve with the heart of Christ, the love of Christ is revealed in the world. We want to go on living meaningful lives, we want Christ to be a part of everything we do as Catholics. We pray to him, we serve everyone in his holy name, and we live a life that is sacred. Why because we know in the deepest recesses of our hearts we are called by God to live like him. We were called by God to be holy and blameless in his sight. That takes effort and great discipline on our part, but more importantly, our trust in God must be real in order to kick off that process. Our lives never rest until they rest in Christ, according to Saint Augustine. And I believe every single word of it to be true. And in following the truth, it is there that I desire greatly to be living daily in the holy presence of God. I know if I remain in Him, He will always help me and guide me and bless me for the duration of my earthly life, all the way through to my eternal destiny. A lot of us know and can see our earthly life, but so few of us share in our thoughts about the after life, the reason being life we cannot see ourselves in our death state. Nonetheless, our lives come to a complete holt, never to return, never to reduplicate the life we once lived. We were and are given only one life to experience all of God's very awesome creation. His gift to us was not only life, but the life we discovered within that life. Layer upon layer, love upon love, He gave it personally to us, in great abundance. One life to love. One life to serve. One life to trust in HIM. Our creator gave us free range to become the absolute very best within our skin. How well did you do? It's a great question right? Keeping in mind that it was, and still is, God who inspired us, and taught us how to live, and God is also, leading the way for us to heaven, in our very limited understanding, even as I write this, he is disciplining some of you in order to help you to arrive at the right conclusions, removing any confusion you may have believed. Yes he loves us that much, and we have acted foolishly.
