Today I want to share with you my contemplation after communing with my Lover at Mass. I was thinking about how far God goes to attract us to Himself. He is God, the great and almighty Creator and Perfect One. We are the created ones who have fallen so far from what He created us to be. He is crazy-in-love with us. How embarrassing to realize what He has done to make us love Him! We are distracted from Him in so many ways. We fall in love with beautiful people. We wrongly worship human beings. So what does he do? He becomes a human being that is ok to worship! A handsome and charismatic human being Who CAN be-- no!... MUST be worshipped! How satisfying it is to me to be able to WORSHIP A HUMAN BEING!!!! Thank you Father for giving me JESUS, Your Son!


God does not stop here. Oh no!!! People are not satisfied with merely worshiping human beings. We also must worship objects. So what does Jesus do? He becomes an object!--- An Object that can be--- no, MUST BE worshiped!!!!!! How satisfying it is to me to be able to WORSHIP AN OBJECT!!!! Thank You, Jesus, for making Yourself into the Host that I can see and must adore!
And we do not stop at just worshiping people and objects. We need to satisfy our appetites. We love food. We worship it even, making our whole day revolve around our meals, contemplating what we are
going to sink our teeth into today. Some of us plan our days around that "happy hour" we plan to spend at the bar later on. So what does God do? He becomes food for us to worship; wine for us to adore!!!!! Oh Jesus, my Jesus!!!! You think of everything!!!! How satisfying it is to me to be able to worship my Food and Drink!!!! Thank You, Jesus, Bread of Heaven, having all sweetness within It!
I do not expect that everyone will be able to understand or relate to what I am saying today but I do know that the Catholics among you know and experience what I am talking about.
We are physical beings and long for physical love. Jesus is there for us every day with His Holy Kiss at Mass. He makes love to us in an embrace which is closer than husband and wife in Holy Communion. How satisfying to have God come into me every day through the Holy Eucharist!!!! Thank You, Jesus, Lover of my soul!!!!
