Whats in that little piece of bread?

There's days i ask for my martyrdom. i think i can pick it...but the Lord has already chosen it for me....when will i have the eyes of complete faith and trust? i hear God 's word coming from the pages of the bible, through our priests,and i receive him in holy communion, & i go to confession, but why am i like king Herod when he heard John the Baptist preaching and knew something needed to change in his life, but he didn't change it. Well, i've got to learn that trust is the biggest conduit to connect me to Christ directly. To experience His mercy with full grace i need to trust. This issue is one that i try and work on everyday...Jesus i trust you will help me love like i should love...and be patient like i should be patient. i do tend to get worried that something won't happen because i don't know the direct outcome of the situation....if i had faith it wouldn't matter the outcome because i would be content with whatever would come my way because Jesus is right beside me.

My little girl said once about Jesus.."i want Him here..So i can see him!" Sometimes i feel like her. Yes, we have our Lords presence in the Eucharist...Jesus fully here with us on earth. The Eucharist...Our complete oneness with Christ..Jesus is so humble he comes to us as little He can be to live in our hearts...This is the ultimate trust..to understand the Eucharist is our Lords flesh. Well, i can understand why its hard to understand, look at the followers of Christ in the bible...when he talked about it they all walked away from him except the twelve.

One time on a past Fathers day...At communion..Our Lord talked to me within my heart and said, "Do you remember how you've always wanted to hold your baby and cuddle him? When you come to Holy Communion to receive me, you are having your family reunion with your son in me. I bring you together in my heart- in my love. I am the Alpha & the Omega, I am the family creator and the family completer; I keep the family together here in my heart. Your son and you are one in me because your son is with me. When your children and husband come to communion they are all in company with me and your son. You are all a family within me." Jesus is so wonderful... how the reception of Him unites us with the very essence of who we are in Gods light..His children, His family..which is our family..sinful me is welcomed and invited to stay and live with Him, in Him. He provides everything we need to live....Forgiveness..paying our debt, dying for us.... and He still comes to us to live in us!

He's so merciful that He comes first as a baby, then as a child, then as a carpenter-son of Mary & Joseph, poor, and then as our Lord and Master, then as the sacrificial lamb, then he comes to us in another small form..the Eucharist. He's working in the silence of our hearts. The loudness of my doubts and unbelief or insecurities or my sin, tries to silence Him- the Good working within my heart. Jesus oh how beautiful is your love and how secure i feel when i am with you-in the silence of my heart.

In His Mercy is where i find my self worth, knowing that this post abortive woman doesn't have to grieve alone because He has brought his forgiveness and love to me and allowed me to rest in his love and peace while he holds my abortive son, my family and i close to him within His heart through the Eucharist!

Jesus, St. Faustina called the Eucharist the Bread of the Strong. Make my heart strong in confidence in your love and give me the chance to have a sharing heart so all my come to know of your goodness and love. Give me a heart full of empathy for all who long to see you in the world. Let me be in union with what you want me to do today and everyday for the rest of my life. Let me always look forward for our alone time in the silence of our hearts unified in Holy Communion; where my beloved will always remain because He chose to love, and live and die for me and my family and for the world. Amen!
