I am now having a vision of Jesus on the Holy Cross appearing before me. His heart is beating in eternal love for his children. For although it is not exposed, each beat raises his flesh.

And Jesus now says, “My son, I am appearing before you on my Holy Cross that my heart may be glorified this day. That my heart may be given to all of my children who will choose to receive me.

Come, my son, and receive me within your heart, that we may be united as one. And I may embrace you through and from the holy power of my Cross, through my sacrifice and my love.”

‘Praise you, my Lord, and may you be glorified for having offered yourself as a sacrifice of hope and redemption through the forgiveness of our sins in your unending mercy.’

“I love you, my son.”

‘I, too, love you, my Lord. I cannot live without you. May love consume me in such a way that only joy may radiate from my heart and that I may seek to see only the good of all that you created, especially in my brothers and sisters.

I ask that you bring peace to this world. Give me the strength, courage and boldness each day to pronounce your word of love through the power of your Cross and resurrection.’
