Expansion of Heart February 25, 2019 Monthly Message to Marija: “Dear children! Today, I am calling you to a new life. It is not important how old you are, open your heart to Jesus who will transform you in this time of grace and, like nature, you will be born into a new life in God’s love, and you will open your heart to Heaven and the things of Heaven. I am still with you, because God permitted me out of love for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Before God, the Eternal, we are all very, very, young. We are at the beginning of an eternal journey into the Heart of God. So each moment is a time of new beginnings, a time to grow in trust, and a letting go of servile fear. Today, today, respond to God’s Infinite Love. Today, begin to love those around you. Today learn to love yourself, so that you may love others, truly. Judging others is a waste of time, and it wounds the soul, injecting the heart with bitterness, and contempt, for others. We are called to love, and forgive, our enemies for a reason, we are all in need of mercy. We see in others what we are blind to in ourselves, and in that we judge ourselves harshly with our words….to know oneself, and one’s need for mercy, allows us to see others with a merciful heart, for we are all brothers and sisters, children of one ABBA. We can stay enclosed in our fearful, finite heart, or we can open up our hearts to eternal expansion, diving deeper into the mystery of the Infinite, shown to us by Jesus, as ABBA. –Br.MD
...and you will open your heart to Heaven and the things of Heaven. Mark, we had a Melkite priest and instructor in our Diaconate Formation program who was from Lebanon. He recalled the times he was small, in a wagon going to market with his Dad at the crack of dawn. The sun would crack the eastern horizon and the closed flowers would turn to the sun and open up to its rays. The memory reminds him now of Psalm 5. Ps 5:3 In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
