‘O my Lord and Spirit, the joy that you bring me in your heavenly love.’

“Sing, my son, sing a new song of hope in my mercy and my forgiveness. I am with you.

Yes, my son, rejoice for your heart has been weighed heavily by the needs of those around you. Offer their burdens to me as well as your burdens.”

‘Yes, I offer them now that your love may fulfill our hearts.’

“And when you leave, you shall leave in peace. Rest now in the glory of your God.”

I am now having a vision of angels descending upon me in the form of an arch.

‘Thank you, my Lord and my God.’

“Yes, my son, believe that you can do all things in my name—to heal the sick, to bring hope to the poor, to console souls in my love and renew their strength. Rejoice and receive the light.”

‘Thank you, my Lord and my Spirit; may you breathe for me, may you live in me and may I love through you.’
