Yes! Our Lord is near! Oh how blessed we are to have a keen awareness of his presence. There is so much he wants to reveal to his children. If only we could make him our main focus in everything we do. Yes, our precious Lord is near! He is with us now, as we pray together, as we unite for his greater glory. The Lord wants to reveal himself, his mighty power, and beautiful presence is ours! Yes, he holds nothing back from us, his love is present inside of every heart he has ever created. We must tap into the power of that love through our daily life and daily prayer and daily receiving him in the mass and through receiving him body, soul, and spirit, in the form of the Holy Eucharist. We have Jesus living inside of us, completely, when all our sins are washed away through a great confession with our confessor, our priest, who has devoted his entire life in building up the kingdom of God. We stand, we serve, we love, in the name of Jesus, in the name of his righteousness, we help the helpless, we visit the infirmed, we love the forgotten, and we live in Christ, this is our beautiful Catholic faith! We follow him in the goodness, in the servitude, in the kind and gentle love that exudes him. We make straight the wrong, we do it through Him, our Lord and savior! He guides, he corrects, he inspires, and we follow. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, he is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Almighty! And we accept him as our Lord, and we do everything in our power to live a righteous life in him, and lead others to him through every lesson he has ever taught us. We must help our brothers and sisters in Christ to live a fruitful life in Him. There is only one way to the Holy Father in heaven. We accept him and denounce all evil. We live a life that is true, that is honest, that is compassion, and worthy of our creator. We never forget the good he has done in our lives, and we in return show him our appreciation through the goodness, through every good choice we make. We show God our thanks, our gratitude, for he gave us life in our mothers womb, we had nothing what so ever to do with that miracle, it was all of Gods doing, and yet we mysteriously live. Yes, we live in him through this greatest of all mysteries. We live, we learn, we love, we lavish ourselves in the beauty he gave us on earth, we are his greatest creation, we will one day return to him soon! But until then we must live our lives to the very best of our ability, we must give God the glory for all he has given to us. We must become the greatest examples of holy men and holy women for the next generation to see. We must reflect Jesus! We must. I believe we are given this opportunity to show him how grateful we truly are for our life, our family, and every chance we fail, to pick ourselves up and look at the cross with Christ on it, realizing he died for our sin. He died for our weaknesses. He died for our salvation. And we owe him a lifetime of gratitude, and a lifetime of living holy, sacred, prayerful lives, that count for future merits of our soul and the souls that we love returning to him in heaven. We have an edge because we are all still here, and we must understand our true purpose in Christ and in our holy and blessed Mother Mary. Our souls must become immaculate for Christ! Our soul needs total purification. Our moment is now, and what we do with our moment means everything imaginable to Christ. Let's give Christ our very best self beginning today! Let us rejoice in his truth, rejoice in his love, and rejoice in our service to all our brothers and sisters yet to know this truth. Let us bring to them the good news we have just received in Jesus name we pray, Amen!
