✞ If the soul suffers distractions at Communion, it is a sign that she has not given herself completely to God.
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.” Revelation 5:13
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. My parents have moved down to be near us. Currently they are in my house waiting for their place to be ready. I love having them here and I am grateful they decided to move closer. It is hard to watch your parents age, and I am happy to be closer where I can be there for them if they need me.
My friend Eva, her scans still show no cancer, but she still has tumor/scar tissue that causes her pain, so please continue to keep her in your prayers.
Lately, as I have watched the world descend into chaos, I have felt a sense of urgency. A sense that we should be praying the Rosary and going to Adoration more than ever. That though the world thinks political leaders are powerful, they really have no idea of the power which belongs to our God. And it is in knowing this, that I can feel peace and calm, in the midst of all this worldly chaos.
As you know, under the guidance of my Spiritual Director, I write a journal. The journal is what pops in my head as letters from God to me. The other day, I felt anxious, so I decided to go sit in the Chapel with the Lord. Here is what I recorded, it brought me great comfort, so I hope it does for you too;

Beloved,
Stop trying to figure things out and let me take care of you. When you need something in the future, I will provide it. Walk with complete trust. I give you a glimpse so you can draw people back to me. But you cannot see as I see. All is well. Have no anxiety. Keep the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart in your homes and in your heart. There is nothing you will need that I can’t provide when the time comes. Events are unfolding. Remember all passes through my hands. I am the complete and sovereign Almighty because I AM. Those who think they control will soon learn that they do not. I love you always.
Abba
This is about completely trusting God. Be thankful for everything and know the difference between a need and a want. Detach yourself from the material items. If you are struggling, know that God is your friend and go sit with Him awhile and pray. “Pray, hope, don’t worry.” – St. Padre Pio
